easily the mvp

Yeah dude, totally. Against the mighty Mavericks.

The funny thing is that the Mavericks are the toughest opponent he's gonna face in a while. Look at the rest of his schedule for this month and on. Nothing but trash teams. Most of them in the East.

The Jazz are the worst team in the league in the West, throw them in the East and they are competing for a playoff spot.

How dare LeBron go to his son's games and pay attention, he should be more like Dwight with his kids.
Seriously though the last 2 games have been awesome.

and tweet about it?

I watched some of tonight's game and he was clearly stat padding during the game.

Also, at the end of the game, he picked up his dribble and two games came to him to foul him and he had open teammates to past to, who were better free throw shooters than him.

this is precisely what makes lebron not-so fun to watch, dude picks his shots or should i say dunks? too carefully, kind of a safe player, im not judgiing results here, just entertainment-value

[9erempiree]

I don't know why people are in nut-mode over Lebron games when we saw what Boris Diaw did to him. Kawhi Leonard was shutting him down too.

Dare to shoot defense? Who the hell gets played that way.

Imagine MJ, Kobe or Bird was dared to shoot. They would be licking their chops.

This is regular season entertain for me to see if he can break records, but doubt he does this in the playoffs.

Craziest part is that the dude's going at maybe 50-60%. He's coasting and dominating the league like this

Whenever Kobe's open, he just pumpfakes until the defense comes out to guard him so he can look "cool" (and have an excuse for) tossing up a 30 foot brick

Whenever I watch him play, it seems like he just can't miss. He can hit from everywhere. But if you look at the stats for this season, he isn't shooting good from the mid range. It might change after tonight tho. He was hitting it all over the place in the 4th quarter against Dallas. His shot selection is amazing.

But he'll fall off with efficiency in the playoffs, but he's still great.

I hate LeBron* but this argument is ridiculous. Would you really rather have him jack up shots like Kobe? If that happened, you KNOW people would be giving him the same shit that Kobe gets. But if he's making SMART plays he's given shit too? I mean come on, there's strategy to this game too. Either he IS picking and chosing his shots for efficient plays while reducing chances to fall behind or he simply isn't capable of making Kobe'esque plays.

So lets say he doesn't want to chuck which obviously forces teammates to do so... what are THEIR percentages?

[Fudge]

That's fcking insane. **** this ***** doe.

I like playoff LeBron more in some ways (aggressive playoff LeBron that is, not passive playoff LBJ). More desperate more fun to watch especially in 2012 playoffs. Not as much last year with the exception of the ECF

[DuMa]

it seems his FG% has a direct correlation with the amount of haters on ISH

[KOBE143]

As usual LeBron is cherry picking his shot to make his FG% looks good..

Statpadding to the next level..

And his team is suffering greatly because of it.

Reminds me of Wilt's "stats-padding" when he led the league in assists. His team could only go 62-20 that season.
