It is close, that's for sure. He certainly is more unique than Lillard.

Warriors bench scored 28 last night.

National TV game and Drummond doesn't bother to shave his shoulder stubble. Really says a lot about how Detroit's season is going.

I really wanted to start defending Lebron but his most recent comments are so incredibly lame.

He is so desperate for attention this season with Harden, Westbrook, and Durant getting all the chatter.

It's just so so lame to whine about your legacy while you are still playing. Especially after last year's Finals.

Cavs working out Chalmers, Hinrich and Stephenson. That should quiet Lebron down.

Man LeBron ether'd Chuck. Which is kinda awesome.

Unfortunately, it's in response to really benign comments responding to odd complaints that LeBron recently made.

So, I'm torn. I love that he stood up and punched back at Chuck who has made a living killing him for years. But this just didn't seem like the moment to do it. If you stand up and slam a guy like that he probably needed to have done more than just called him a whiner.

Clearly, that was just the last straw for LeBron, but it just seems like he brought chemical weapons to a fist fight.

Did he really get him that bad though? Everyone knows chuck threw a guy through a window. Chuck was laughing about it all on ESPN radio today. The only thing Lebron did was remind everyone what an insecure baby he is. After last year's Finals the only way people were going to be reminded of that is if it were to come from Lebron himself and it did.

Yeah, maybe.

I liked the line about "what gives him credibility? Because he's on TV?

Being an 11 time all star and 93 MVP are enough for him to have an opinion about NBA basketball on cable TV. That 'just cause you're on tv?' line is actually pretty weak in my opinion.

it is possible that both lebron and chuck are right

chuck is right that lebron needs to stop whining and work with what he has. best players in the game make others better. the cavs have surrounded him with players (smith, iman, klove) to help him out. there may be reasons they didnt go after felton and others that arent basketball related that they felt wouldnt justify the signing. want them to sign better quality players? how bout taking a pay cut and play for the vets minimum so that more guys can join you.

lebron is right too. the constant harping by chuck is getting old (still fun to hear, but old) chuck forced his hand to houston to try and win a title as well as with phoenix. all players want to be surrounded by great players, but with a salary cap and people wanting to make as much money as possible (something i whole heartedly agree with) it isnt going to happen like that.
