DeShawn Stevenson: "LeBron is overrated"

[konex]

I like how he says this after the last game vs. Cleveland :oldlol:

http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/cavs/2008/03/13/cavs-at-wizards-2/


–DeShawn Stevenson did do a good job in the fourth quarter guarding LeBron. In fact, the Wizards did a nice job pressuring him on pick-and-rolls and not letting him get a head of steam to the basket in the second half. But Stevenson took personally. He missed the final shot in Cleveland when the Cavs beat Washington last month and he was trying to atone. He was carrying on with LeBron and Damon Jones all night. In the first half, Damon made a 3-pointer and waved his hand in front of his face to mock what Stevenson does when he makes 3s. Stevenson didn’t like that and in the second half when he made a couple 3s he looked over at Damon and mocked his “three on a platter” and how Damon sometimes slaps his butt when he hits shots. Damon just stood up and glared at him.
–But the stuff with LeBron was more personal. He told Michael Lee of the Washington Post after the game that LeBron was talking trash to him and that he wanted to get under LeBron’s skin. Then he said: “LeBron is overrated” and made sure the quote was attributed to him. When LeBron is tired after playing 90 minutes in 24 hours, he isn’t the same player, I agree. Stevenson did a good job in the fourth, so props to him. Yet poking one of the best players in the league just isn’t a good idea. LeBron has proven to be tough on people who challenge him. Especially considering Stevenson shot 19 percent in the playoff series with the Cavs last season. Too bad the Cavs don’t play the Wizards again this year, it would be interesting to see LeBron’s response.


What is the history between these 2 guys? It's strange because Gooden and Stevenson are best of friends and Drew was Bron's teammate..

[haterofhaters]

I'm not sure, but I personally would love to see a Cavs vs. Wiz series again with Gil, Jamison, and Butler all at full strength.. and it's actually possible with Caron back, Gil on his way, and the Raptors losing steam without Bosh in the lineup.

Stevenson wasn't backing down.

Afterward, he talked about how the Cavs tried to punk the Wizards and how he's tired of it.
"I was just trying to get up under his skin and make him think about me playing, competing and talking trash. I played with Raja Bell in Utah and I take a lot of things from him. He's a great defender. Sometimes you gotta do that with those guys. Those guys play guys that are scared of them all day so sometimes, you gotta get under their skin and talk some trash and tonight, I tried to do that."

On the Cavs attitude: "They beat us two years in a row (in the playoffs) and last year, they gave us a spanking you know, so they have that swagger. When they walk into our gym they feel like they are at home so we have to take that away from them. We've got to stop playing around with them, laughing and joking because we know those guys. We have to take those guys serious."

DeShawn was obviously holding back in that session with reporters around his locker. When he was leaving the building, Mike Lee was chatting him up and mentioned LeBron again. DeShawn has obviously heard enough of that.

"He's overrated," DeShawn told Mike. "And you can say I said that."

Wow. Bet the King won't like that one. Here's hoping that the Wiz manage to jump ahead of Toronto and grab that fifth spot so these teams meet again.

[baseketball4life]

i like the ending "too bad the Cavs don't play the Wizards again this season" this is the sole reason Shawn would say what he said, now LBJ can't drop 50 on his head cuz they dont play again

[chains5000]

Hope they somehow meet in the playoffs, there's nothing better than players than don't like (or hate) each other.
Add some Dallas-GS and LA-Phoenix series too.

[darabzarrabi]

I think ultimately the joke is on DeShawn because Lebron could hire DeShawn to be his butler...thats how rich he is

this is the guy with the number 2 and his name tatted on his back right?

finally someone spoke, lebron ain't sh*t, i don't know why he thinks of him self as something big, because he really isn't.

finally someone spoke, lebron ain't sh*t, i don't know why he thinks of him self as something big, because he really isn't.
lets see ur username is detroit. im guess ur still grumpy to what the cavs and bron did to you last season. can i remind u....please?

detroit took first 2 games, then lebron had a couple of great performances, then game 5 came along and lebron scored 29 of the last 30 points against the detroit team, and then he burnt them with a near tripple double in game 6.

so yeah the same lebron that aint sh*t has basically kicked the **** out of the pistons.

[mjbulls23]

can't wait for some of the Kobe fanatics to see this :oldlol: :hammerhead:

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

So let's see: LeBron talks trash to him throughout the game. Stevenson responds with his own trash talk.

This has happened since Naismith put up the first peach basket.

Him saying it is like us saying "<insert NBA Player> is overrated"

we're worse, we're not even in the league..

[2LeTTeRS KD]

I can't wait for the Cavs to play again I want to see how Bron is going to reply to this. I'm glad his next game is coming against my home-town Bobcats, we'll probably take the L but I expect to be entertained, and honestly how important is another win for a team that won't make the playoffs anyway.

[GOBB]

Whats the problem with what was said? He probably is calling out Bron to get under his skin as he stated. Probably gets Deshawn up for Clevland games. He all but guarded Bron nicely on that last shot. Wizs escape with a win. If anyone his remarks are nothing more than grabbing the attention of the sportsmedia. "Hey I got something controversial to say, write it down and maybe we can create a buzz".

How is it strange? There is a rule that because you are friends with someone who plays on a team of a guy you take shots at...its considered strange? You're strange for thinkin this. WTF does Drew Gooden and Deshawn being best friends have to do with Deshawn and Lebron? Absolutely nothing!

You seem like the type that has a friend and since you see your friend talkin to me (and me and you never spoke a day in our lives) we're considered "boys". Da f*ck outta here. I aint got no linkage to you. But you standing over there claiming friendships like some f*cking weirdo.

[Da KO King]

Amazing how the Cavs have been the ones instigating the situation yet when Deshawn responds you all jump on his case.

lmaoo niceee.. perfectly mimics MJ in every way ey?

who is deshawn talking **** though, has he even bin in an allstar game or done anything with his career. lebron> league right now, if varajeo wasn't such an offensive retard cavs would have won the last 2 games.

What?

Dude, you say some of the most off-the-wall, crazy sh*t sometimes.

As far as Stevenson goes, let me know the first time he can stop getting beat in a 3-point contest when the opposing player is using his off-hand. Cause until this happens, he has zero credibility.

How could this not be seen as controversial when LeBron has beat the Wiz two times in a row in the playoffs?

Stevenson, or anyone else on the Wiz, have no room to talk abot LeBron.

[Amigo]

Did anyone else notice when they were shaking hands before tip-off Stevenson went straight to LeBron and said something right in his ear? I knew it was something to get into his face the whole game worth because LeBron wanted the ball right off the start. I think it might have to do with the fact that LeBron seems to have not cared about his boy Gooden being traded to the Bulls.

Hope to see them play again in the future. Should be something like Raja Bell vs Kobe Bryant when they played each other. :cheers:

[jasonterry]

he's right. just play lebron to drive, let him shoot all day, just hope the refs don't bail him out (and thats not a good hope to have) and you'll lock him up. he is overrated

[RainierBeachPoet]

i like it when opponants challenge each other like this. it used to happen much more in the nba and i thought it helped for good drama/rivalries/competition

good for deshawn for NOT following the unspoken desire of the league office for players to be "spuricised" and be nice to one another and model citizens-- especially in treated the nba anointed ones like demi-gods

["Jesus"]

congrats, he shut down lebron on his off-night.
he grew up so fast :')

[ezzy]

deshawn had a good game. lebron didn't have a good game. deshawn talks trash all game. after the game calls lebron overrated, says that gilbert has more game than lebron.

fancies himself a better shooter than damon jones and a better wing man than the king?

oh please. sorry wiz fans, nothing your team or your fuzzy stoned players can say that worry the cavs or the king. we have owned you now for three years and that won't stop. we are getting our new squad together still, nothing to worry about.

the washington generals never scare the globetrotters.

[Put Back Dunk]

he's right. just play lebron to drive, let him shoot all day, just hope the refs don't bail him out (and thats not a good hope to have) and you'll lock him up. he is overrated

Although I think that saying LeBron is overrated is going too far, it is true that his jumper is horrible. Even DeShawn has a better jumper than LeBron.

[shok]

LBJ has been nothing short of fantastic this season. In fact, he's exceeded every expectation.

But DeShawn's words aren't entirely outlandish. It's normal to spit spat an opponent. Makes the game that much more fun. I see nothing more.

This made me think of one of the greatest quotes ever derived from the NFL:

lebron makes the game look so easy that a nobody in the league like deshawn stevenson would say something like dat lebron has had more expectations for him coming out then any athlete in sports history and he succeded. no more to say

[Chalkmaze]

First off, I think Deshawn isn't the smartest cat in the bush; however, I think it's good he's not afraid to play Lebron hard and take the challenge. I loved Michael Jordan, but a lot of guys were afraid to play him hard, had too much respect to lay some wood on the guy. The Pistons were not afraid to lay MJ out, they didn't bow down to him and just hand him the win, as he got older that's what most players and teams in the league did, played him with kit gloves. Respect the greatness, but still give it your best shot and don't be intimidated. So, from that perspective, I like that Deshawn isn't backing down to Lebron, and handing him all the respect in the world from the get go. Go play a guy like Lebron as hard as you possibly can, and make him beat you, but give it everything you've got.

[Lebron23]

Deshawn Stevenson is jealous that he is not in the cover of Vogue Magazine. :D

Yeah, he's the type to get jealous about that kind of stuff actually.

[Knoe Itawl]

Why do people insist on lying about Bron's jumpshot? Is he now a pure shooter, no. Has he improved his jumpshot dramatically to where it is now a pretty reliable weapon? yes.

Talking about his jumpshot and defense is soooooo 2006 and shows you don't really watch the game.

Step up to 2008 people.

[Jordan Pippen Rodman]

Of course LeBronze is overrated. he's david stern's lackey boy. the NBA needed someone to prop up after MJ retired. Bron has been made by the NBA and their refs. he commonly get 18 free throw attempts a game...lol. not to mention he's handed accolades when he doesn't deserve them. for example, ray allen should of been All Star MVP.

[dnyk1337]

Lebron is really good, but he is overrated. So is Kobe, but that tends to happen when you got so many fanboys that live on their nuts. Any player that has a lot of fanboys is somewhat overrated.

[Jasi]

Calm down guys, I think the problem here is just that DeShawn doesn't have a nasty cousin like Chris Bosh, so he could not feed LBJ up unless he started trash-talking :D

Very good defense by DeShawn yesterday night, though.

Step up to 2008 people.

His jumpshot has been around 40% for the last three years and his 3pt% for the past two years is lower than his career average (32%). He's worked hard on it and I'm sure he'll continue to work hard on it, but how is this "soooooo 2006" when he's continued to have problems with his jumpshot since then?

I'm not slamming him, just making the observation that his jumper is still not to the point where you have to guard him extremely close, and considering how great he is at getting to the basket it's more effective to give him a step so that you can at least try to guard against the the drive.

[RedBlackAttack]

It is interesting that DeShawn decided to talk all kinds of sh!t in the Wizards-Cavs last meeting on the second night of a back-to-back on the road for the Cavs... the night after LeBron played over 40 minutes and scored over 40 points.

Why not talk all of this junk when it really matters... like in the playoffs, when LeBron and the Cavs have knocked you out in consecutive seasons? How about talking smack during the second to last game, so that there is the prospect of playing said player again and not looking like a guy who talks, knowing that he likely will not have to see that player again?

Of course, we are not talking about the brightest bulb on the tree, here. Isn't this the same Stevenson that was busted having sex with an underage girl? Isn't this the same Stevenson that tried to purchase cocaine through his myspace account?

...and he constantly throws up gang signs during games?

This is the guy, right? What an idiot.

[picc84]

There needs to be more trash-talk in games in the NBA. Its something I miss about the old days. These days you get T'd up with a quickness.

[rapsfan3]

LeBron was talkin smack to DeShawn the whole game and they were talkin smack back and forth last night.

[mlh1981]

I agree. Most of the stars don't talk trash. Too image conscious. A lot of these guys have the same endorsement deals, agents, etc. That's part of it.

It is one thing to talk smack during the game. It is another thing to tell the media a guy is 'overrated' a day after the game, especially when that player is responsible for leading the team who knocked you out of the playoffs the last two seasons and he has basically owned your team his entire career.

Talking smack during the game is fine. Not liking a guy is fine. A low-budget role player calling out one of the top 3 players in the NBA AFTER their final meeting of the season? Funny...

The feeling is mutual between the two. I believe it goes back to a preseason game going into LeBron's second year. Apparently, they got into a trash talking match, which ended with PP spitting at the Cavalier bench.

I'm sure 'a lot' of players don't like LeBron. When you are as good as LeBron is at such a young age, there are going to be a lot of crusty veterans who reek of jealousy. PP is one...

[picc84]

Because obviously he's just jealous and doesn't just not like him.

I'm sure many players in the L just simply don't like other players.

[Valliant13]

While a half scrub like DeShawn looks a bit foolish calling out a top 3 player, I love people trash talk eaching other. When there is obvious mutual dislike, and the player has something extra to prove, it gives the games a nice edge.

[Mboglee]

as we speak Lebron is praying that the cavs and wiz meet in round 1, and thinking bout how many ways he can posterize that dumb **** for calling him out...:D

[Jailblazers7]

This would be more interesting if it were another premier player taking a slap at Lebron. Then it could form into some sort of rivalry or heated exchange that could transfer onto the court.

[picc84]

I was hoping after Lebron psyched out Gil at the ft line that one game during the playoffs, that would develop into something. Sadly, it didnt.

[baseketball4life]

didn't Ruben Patterson label himself "the kobe stopper" after one decent game guarding Kobe? and then the next couple times they faced Kobe diarrhea-ed all over him? I have a feeling the same thing will happen to Shawn

[RedBlackAttack]

....or a player that has a chance in hell of playing consistently well against LeBron. DeShawn is a second tier player (maybe third tier).

He is going to just embarrass himself, here... even if the Cavs and Wiz don't meet in the playoffs, DeShawn has to face LeBron 4 times next year. He should have thought about that.

I never called LeBron the "Kobe stopper" and I never used that game to put down Kobe. It was used to support the idea that LeBron's defense has improved drastically, though, which is reasonable.

[Samurai Swoosh]

LeBron a Kobe stopper? Ummm, yeah right. Dude's got better at defense, but lets not get crazy. Or imagine to selectively forget how many times Kobe's smothered LeBron, and if my memory serves me correct ... I've seen him straight rip LeBron and his handle many a times.

[JellyBean]

I like how people always talk trash after they barely won last night. Man, I hope that Deshawn and the Wiz make the playoffs. I want to see King James go off. I am having a flash back to the days of a certain player, nickname "Money Mike".

I remember when Jerry Stackhouse was talking trash about how "he held Jordan in check" during the summer workouts at UNC. Jordan heard those comments and went off!! Jordan had 48pts. Shot something like 60% from the field and played some unreal defense on Stackhouse and Mad Max.

Lesson here: Don't piss off someone who has a shoe named after him.

[shrempf_on_rice]

Good job on Stevenson's part. I find it hilarious someone decided to disrespect Lebron like how he's disrespected other players. Wag the dog.

Stupid comment from DeShawn. There really wasn't a need for it. Your team won the game, you took the offensive foul from LeBron late in the game, you played him well on the last play of the game. Leave it at that.

[catquickspider]

Deshwan pissed lebron off and lebron bricked the jumper in the clutch

Deshawn wins this battle

[picc84]

Anyway, i'm just mad there arent anymore wiz/cavs games this season so we could get Lebrons revenge and laugh at Deshawn getting 50 dropped on him. That would be hilarious to see his reaction after the game.

"So Deshawn, Bron just dropped 50 on you. Do you still feel he's overrated?"

"I mean, yeah. If he was really as good as everyone says he is, he would have dropped 60, with 20 dimes. Anyone can do 50, thats just 25 points two times. Completely overrated."

:oldlol:

And even if he kills you, you keep going back at him with 110%. There is nothing wrong with that. Deshawn earned some respect from me yesterday for his play on the court, he didnt back down one bit to a physically superior player. He fought as hard as he could and helped his team win. I dont get it, are you people saying you can only talk trash if you better then the person your talking to??

[Bruinlove]

Deshawn Stevenson is the Anti-Lebron

[Lakers Fan]

I think ultimately the joke is on DeShawn because Lebron could hire DeShawn to be his butler...thats how rich he is

What has money got to do with it? Both are rich so who cares. Magic Johnson has enough money where if Michael Jordan laid all his money on a poker table and Magic matched it, then someone came along and stole all of it. MJ would be straight broke but Magic would still have as much money as MJ does now.:eek:

I really hope Gilbert comes back soon and Bosh stays out so the Wizards can grab the 5th seed in the East. Another Cavaliers/Wizards first round match-up would be sick, especially with the whole LeBron/Stevenson drama. I'm curious to see if Stevenson can impose his will on LeBron and slow him down for a whole series. If not, it'd be equally entertaining to watch LeBron drop 50 on Stevenson. Ah, what a great Playoffs this is turning out to be.

[TMan]

Overrated how? He should elaborate more. Otherwise who cares?

The Cavs have already eliminated the Wizards twice in the playoffs. In '06, they were at full strength and LeBron wasn't close to the player that he is now. Yet, he controlled the series and the Cavs won in six.

I don't even see how this can be a legitimate rivalry. Until the Wizards are able to defeat the Cavs when it counts, they can talk all they want. On the court is all that matters and, in the past two seasons, LeBron and the Cavs have ended the Wizards' season. Stevenson's words ring hollow and bitter.

Of course, if the same team (and the same player) was eliminating my squad every season, I would probably have a grudge against them, too.

[oldenpolynice]

Stevenson calls LeBron "overrated"? Must be the roid rage talking.

[picc84]

Maybe its beard rage.

And with Goodens comments lately, maybe beards have some biological effect on people, making them hate Lebron. I dont know. :oldlol:

Cavs fans need to stop trying to protect and shelter Lebron. The little guy needs to learn to face his fears (Stevenson) on his own

[raid09]

The LeBron-stopper? You know the expectations are HIGH when a 25/7/7 game is considered awful.

[WuTangWizard]

Lebron is weak. He can't handle trash talk. Stevenson is the new king.

[Lebron23]

Isn't this the same guy that slept with an underage girl.



This is the same guy that would never become the no.1 option of his team, and i do not think the Wizards will make it in the 2nd round of the playoffs. ( i am talking about Deshawn)

Yo, don't be so insecure you have to trash one of the top man defenders in the league, "anti-lebron" stevenson just because he shut down Bron Bron. Lebron is great but he was stopped by one of the best, there's nothing wrong with that.

Bitter Wizards fan still can get over the fact that the Cavaliers beat your team in the playoffs.

I'm not a Wiz fan. Lebron was outmatched on defense, you could see fear in his eyes every time Stevenson would D up on him. And on O, Stevenson made Lebron look like a punk multiple times.

[JayR]

Thank ISH-Gods, I wont have to see the words "Anti -Lebron" for at least a couple of weeks.

as soon as i saw this was bumped, i knew that was gonna be the comment. so lebron switches teams and all of a sudden he hasn't lived up to the hype.. after 2 MVPs by age 25.

He quit at 25. Doesn't have the heart of a champion to be the "king."

That's all that matters!

[Sarcastic]

Is this the same DeShawn Stevenson that is a sub 8ppg scorer?

Well he hasn't lived up to the hype. Actually I wouldnt say he failed to live up to the hype, he took the hype and threw it in the bin. He could have atleast tried.

[OnceInADECADE]

lol the goo old days.

btw how can one man beat 3 great players three years in a row

gtfo

[AK47DR91]

his teammates helped him get 60+ wins back to back. he gets MVPs and accolades.

then he loses in the playoffs. only his teammates get the blame? F*ck off with that shit! If you get the love for the good times you better get the blame for the bad times also.

say what kid?

2 years on, mine, and Deshawn Stevenson's words ring true.

For the past 2 years you said Lebron would win the title at the start of the playoffs. I have said he would choke and not even get to the finals.

:lol

ball don't lie. Neither does Stevenson

[lilbeastnani]

LOL, this shit has been going on for as long as I can remember.

[markymark]

Is this the same DeShawn Stevenson that is a sub 8ppg scorer?

He's a lockdown defender who contained Wade and Lebron in the Finals, and hit three straight 3s in G6.

Oh, and he's also an NBA champ. :rockon:

[lilbeastnani]

lol the goo old days.

:oldlol: Funny thing is, the following year 3 men couldn't beat 1 great player.

[Rake2204]

A little bit of vindication for young Mr. Stevenson, eh? Though, did I read a headline on ESPN.com titled "Stevenson: LeBron is classless" or did I just dream that?

[FinishHim!]

:lol Yup. You definitely have to know that Stevenson was just itching to finally be able to say something like this while being on the winning side of the equation. It's ironic that a team with Butler(even though he didn't play)/Haywood and Stevenson would get their rings by beating Bron in the finals.

[Rake2204]

Also, a little interesting to see the player Stevenson has developed into. To think all I thought of him in his younger days was that he was potentially exciting on a fast break with a dunk contest pedigree. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw him dunk. In fact, I saw him drive to the basket one time during the postseason, and he got wrecked by Juwan Howard I think. That's not a criticism, just an interesting transformation.

[gasolina]

Deshawn has carved the "wing role player on a championship team" niche, joining the ranks of Bruce Bowen, Ron Artest, James Posey, Luke Walton, Mario Elie
