    I'm just glad that Curry is making Lebron irrelevant. Maybe once he's gone and the Lakers are actually a team again, I can enjoy the NBA.

    So true.

    I love it. LeBron's career is going to take that huge dive we've been expecting and he's going to fade into nothingness.

    They've got to lose this year first, and most likely that will have to be in the Finals. I think if LeBron goes to 2-5, that'll do it, and eventually he will start breaking down. You can't go to Finals after Finals every single season and it not catch up with you, even Jordan didn't do that, he had a break in between 3-peats. If he wins this year though, he's right back, especially if they take out the historically great Warriors. They must lose..

    LeBron still has the tangibles to carry a team, but the window of his athleticism is closing. He's not in his prime like Durant, Westbrook, Lillard and Curry anymore. He hasn't stepped back and observed his all around fundamentals because this is around the time he should be working on becoming a perimeter player not a run and gun it or dunk it player if he wants longevity and to retire at a later age himself. He can play all positions but it won't matter if he can't develop anything else outside of a run and dunk it player. His 3 ball isn't falling, and he's not really a late take over the game type player mentally.

    He needs to transition if he wants more rings. I won't lose any sleep if he never wins another one though I hope the Cavs get bounced the second round of the playoffs. I don't want him edging closer to Kobe's 5 ring total, or Curry for that matter.

    LeBron is 5 for 47 in clutch situations?

    WUT.

    That's awful. ESPN can take their bull**** stats and stick 'em somewhere. We "haters" have been saying it for years, but were told loudly how wrong we were. Where are all those people eating crow now? Where's their crow?

    That doesn't sit well for me honestly. I know LeBron said he doesn't care what other people think, but you're talking about a former teammate, a guy you could very well see in the playoffs down the road, and you're working out with him seriously? Could you imagine Kobe and Shaq working out in 2005? Could you imagine Bird and Magic working out in the 80's? Jordan and Payton or Malone and Stockton in the 90's? I mean it's just ridiculous. I hate that everyone in this damn generation wants to be buddy buddy with everyone.

    Who cares if they're working out together? It just seems like nitpicking at this point.

    LeBron and D-wade are still best buds..they don't hate each other like Kobe and Shaq did.

    I don't see it as nitpicking. You don't have to hate each other like Kobe and Shaq. Even guys who had the outmost respect for each other like say Kobe and Fish. When they played in the playoffs in 2012 did you see them working out with each other? No because they're competing against one another. Yeah they're still brothers at the end of the day and they're still great competitors.

    I honestly hate the argument "oh player x wouldn't have done it this way, so player y shouldn't either". Guys today have a different mindset and that's fine.

    We really shouldn't compare LeBron's competitiveness with Kobe's anyways. Kobe's on a completely different level matched only by MJ in that aspect.
