It's such a hard life for Lebron, he fights so much adversity just to crawl out of bed in the morning to face the day. Just walking into an arena is such an amazing feet. Then he has to play all 5 positions and coach and pretend he cares about teammates because some shithead in Akron coached him when he was 9 and gave the MVP trophy to some other kid. We are all witnesses.

Its all his posturing that gets me. Great player no doubt but he cares so much about what the narrative is about him its unbelievable. To be so good at something that you can stop along the way and say to yourself 'if I exaggerate this limp the tv guys will say im tough' and still be great must be nice. The funny thing is the guy has never really been hurt when a lot of superstars in the league younger than him have had surgeries. Lebron gets respect but if he wasn't such a diva he would really get the credibility he will always lack when compared to Michael.

i like Dellavadova's play. he goes out there and busts his ass with the hustle plays.
just because he isnt blessed with out of this world agility or hops does not take away from his game. he's a tenacious defender and is willing to dive for the lose balls.
everyone says he is a dirty player and doesnt belong in the league but then i guess neither does patrick beverly who did the same thing to westbrook

Yeah I'm a homer, so what? I have no idea who you even support. I'm pretty sure you just pop in to be a contrarian and to post comments that lack basketball insight.

Whats the point of having steve javey comment on the officiating if hes going to give pc answers. He clearly thinks it should have been an ejection. Just say they got it wrong.

Don't worry, in a couple of weeks he's going to be on the losing team in the NBA Finals for the 4th time, so you'll have that. It would have been better for his "legacy" if his Cavs lost in round 2 rather than the Finals.

I wasn't able to watch the game last night, but it seemed like the Rockets had an out of body experience in the first quarter and the Warriors weren't ever able to full recover, right? I'm really glad Curry was able to come back from the fall. Scary, scary stuff.

He's a Lakers fan. I don't think it's that he's a LeBron fan as much it is that some people constantly criticize him (usually for things unrelated to how good or bad he is on the court) and peeps dismisses that kind of stuff and points to how good he is on the court. In other words, I think it's only in the context of debating basketball with anti-LeBron people that he could be conceived of as a LeBron fan.
