1) It was a stupid unfair leading question.
2) Lebron made the reporter look small.
3) Lebron's answer was also so clearly an excuse it made him look silly. "I'm not shrinking, i'm just defending" as if he can't do both. What the hell happened to Lebron?
"Don't just look at the stat sheet."
Funny it came from the player who has built his entire career on stat sheets. :lol
I didn't like the way the reporter asked that question; he could have been more subtle and smart about it, but either way, I was glad that Lebron's inability to come through in clutch times in the NBA finals was brought up and everybody was able to hear it. And Lebron talking about his so-called great defense :facepalm Marion has been doing his thing all series long, so what is he talking about?
Lebron chose the Heat for moments like this. I have a huge problem with that, since those two guys are supposedly the two best players in the league, yet they need each other to play at a level like no other superstar has ever needed another great player to play at to win it all. That is why Lebron will never even be in the GOAT discussion.
stupid question. reporter is probably a pissed Dallas fan..
anyway it's true Lebron didn't do much in the 4th quarter.. but he did against Chicacgo when Wade didn't play well.. I guess that's the advantage of having 2 superstars in the same team.
[QUOTE=50inchvertical]Dude admitted he got "toasted," then wrote an angry, ill thought out article.
Dirk singlehandedly closed out the Celts and Bulls (on both ends), and all of a sudden he's no closer?
Wade had 12 baskets and 3 assists. LeBron had 6 baskets and 9 assists. Look at it like that and it;s 15 scoring plays each.
Then dude tries to get on LeBron for his "I'm going to be more aggressive to the basket" comments regarding free throws since LeBron only got 4, but he still had 4 dunks in the first half and a layup, so 5 of his 6 fgs were point blank. End of the day, they're up 2-1.
Haters gon' hate[/QUOTE]
Best case scenario for haters are on this scale:
1) Lebron play bad and loose. Pure ectasy, bliss and fantasy like euphoria.
2) Lebron play good and loose. A years worth of happiness and enough motivation to post three years of told you so threads. Still like a dream come true as claims will still be made he simply wasn't good enough.
3) Lebron play bad and win. Satisfaction that he still is unproven as clearly being the best. Joy in knowing that a better player can exist on his own team can perhaps legitimize that maybe even Bosh is better but you can't tell because its a "help me" situation going on in Miami.
4) Lebron plays well and win. Medication will help soothe crazy rationalizations, "I was right all the time. You could put Shaq's wife on that team and they would still win."
5) Lebron plays well and is totally responsible for championship. Eternal depression.

We've got a winner!
what are you suposed to do when someone so blatantly harass you out of the blkue without wearing any gloves.... No need to be nice when dude s obviously want to make you look like a fool because he s frustrated about his life for some reasons. Question was unprofessional and pain childish. The fake tough guy stare, bald head goatee combo was just the icing on the cake. LEbron could have answered in an even more brutal manner i wouldnt have been surprised. Dude is a moron and got served, next time he ll think twice about making a fool of HIMSELF with such unprofesionnal aggressions.
And to clarify, i root for the mavs and i dont particulary like lebron at all, it s even quite the oposite.
Heat are a team and everyone s doing his job and taking over when other arent that good, it s called teamwork and it works fine.
handle yourself professionally and unbiased. :facepalm. dumb media.
[QUOTE=Kurosawa0]Seriously, people do realize Wade & LeBron are on the same team right?[/QUOTE]
This exactly. If wade has the hot hand why go away from it to prove an agenda? The object of the game is to WIN. It doesn't mean james can't take over games and wade can't lock down defensively. Both are more than capable. And its obvious neither can win without the other. As every champion before them. That is if they win.
It seems that alot of you guys would rather be the guy putting up 35 pt in a loosing effort. Than put up 25 in a win. Makes no sense. Wade wouldn't be in that position without james.
Its the same argument I use for pippen
That reporter wrote an article about him "shrinking in the 4th quarter", [I]right after[/I] LeBron tackled his dumb question. What an asshole. No athlete deserves to be disrespected like that :oldlol:

:oldlol: at my putting Dirk, late night. LeBron had the game winning assist. He routinely makes the right basketball play. It's obvious there are legions of people who will wait until whatever happens and hate him no matter what. He does not let them change who he is as a player, and just makes winning plays. End of the day people are left bitching because he didn't score enough in the 4th, but his team has a commanding lead in the series.
Here's that reporter's anti LeBron column by the way. You know he couldn't wait to pen and publish this [url]http://bit.ly/jFrFjO[/url]
:rolleyes:
yea, b/c guarding Shawn Marion, a guy Dallas does not run plays for and has no jump shot, is really really hard.
great two way play!
He is shrinking in the moment.
funny how a guy who wears a Check my Stats shirt and makes his living on stats is criticizing ppl for lookin at stats :oldlol: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Gregg Doyle's a douche, the ultimate douche. Every column he writes is meant for nothing but page hits and to piss off a specific fanbase. It amazes me he writes for a national outlet. Whoever your local writer is that you hate and bemoan as the ultimate hack, he's got nothing on Gregg Doyle.

He guarded some of everybody actually. Either way, they got the W so people who like to hate just to hate, bitching because Wade scored more points than LeBron is just stupid. He had 4 4th quarter assists, to include on the game winning basket. Miami scored 42 in the 2nd half, Bron scored/assisted in 21.
Ok, this series Wade is scoring more. But nobody was complaining when LeBron was closing Mia or Chicago out by scoring and Wade was struggling, especially in that Chicago series. Nobody was calling him Robin or saying he was just along for the ride.
Here's the video if it wasn't posted already. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBeWvFFyNpQ[/url]
I think we all know how this story ended! Who got owned now?
[QUOTE]And you ask me a better question tomorrow.[/QUOTE]When he was asked again after Game 6 he didn't even have the balls to answer;
letting big brother Wade do it for him. :roll:

Y u keep bumping threads months after the thing ended, maybe there can be epic bumps BEFORE the championship happened like that Heat fan's Championship Cruise thing

Nothing else going on, if you haven't noticed. So the Championship is the freshest basketball related topic.
[QUOTE=asdf1990]Reporter: lebron seems like u are shrinking in the fourth, thats when superstars become superstars, what's going on.
Lebron: I am a 2 way player, I saw wade had it going and we let him carry the offensive load. U just lookin at the stat sheet, go watch the video of the fourth and see the other things I did and ask me a better question tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Lol the 2 way player got sonned by Shawn Marion on one end and then shut down by Jason Kidd who has a 4 inch, 70 pound disadvantage on him on the other:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
MVP!
You know this reporter gets his D Sucked by reporter groupies for being the first guy to call a spade a spade and call out LeBron for having a shrivled up nut sack in the 4th quarters. He probably did that Isiah Thomas circle dance after game 6 was over.
