Re: I wonder if LeBron James is aware it looked like he stood around a lot in the Finals
[QUOTE=Eat Like A Bosh]I always thought about that.
On Paper, those teams are better than the Mavs. But it's like something just happened.[/QUOTE]
Mavs bench>>Lakers bench
Dirk,Marion,Kidd>>>Gasol,Artest,Fisher
Bynum>Chandler but Chandler played fantastic all around defense.
The only advantage the Lakers had against the Mavs was Kobe...and out of prime superstar can't beat a great team by himself.
On paper the Mavs are/were better than the Heat,a team with no bench,no decent center,no decent PG and no decent coach.
The best team won the title.

[QUOTE=8BeastlyXOIAD]Blame Spo[/QUOTE]
Why should we blame Spo?
Players today (including Bron and Wade) lack the fundamental skill of moving without the ball, efficiently and consistently, it's that simple.
The way they play is no different than what 98% of how the league plays today.
The ball isn't moving enough, and players get caught standing around far too much. Both Bron and Wade have been like this for their entire careers, so to simply blame it on Spo is ignorant.
Re: I wonder if LeBron James is aware that people wondered why he stood around so much
Biggest problem I have with his performance is that it just looked like he "didn't try". Whether it's true or not is debatable but there is NO excuse in the goddamn Finals not to do every little thing it takes to help your team win, including cutting off-ball and crashing the boards, etc. No "superstar" can ever have enough talent to transcend doing whatever is required.
