I hated that Heat charade and all the idiocy surrounding "The Decision", how he treated his beloved Cleveland and then that coming out "not one, not two, not three........"

but going back to Cleveland changed all that, I'm back to respecting him

having said that, I'm going to talk about him NOT being the greatest of all time, an all time great but just not at the top of the class

He misses a whole of jump shots, I never saw the other greats not finish as often as he does not finish near the rim down the stretch, and combined with the turnovers it's just killing his team



the Cavs as a whole tend to lose composure, just ugly to watch them implode while GS steps it up

overall mental toughness is lacking

Except the 2 championships. I get the point you're trying to make but it's wrong. He deserves some credit for those doesn't he?

yes he does...he was also a ray allen miracle 3 away from another championship loss as well.

I like LeBron, just saying tho

He's a great all around player - the ultimate team player - but he ain't gonna hit 5 plus shots in a row with the game on the line lIke much lesser players like a Dirk

It is sort of unfair. King James moniker before he takes his first nba shot. Instant comparisons to the greats and expectations to match. we aren't going to see another michael jordan in our lifetime. Not gonna happen. I think it sours the careers of some of these guys that people try to annoint as the next michael jordan. lebron is a great, great player but he hasn't learned how to be clutch, for whatever reason.

His finals appearances are somewhat embarrassing but he is taking some relatively bad teams to the finals too. There just are not that many past champions that this cleveland roster could beat.

I know he brought a lot of scrutiny onto himself but at this point, can't we just enjoy him for what he is? It's ok that he can't hold MJ's jockstrap, just enjoy his game because it is pretty good.

This wouldn't be just because you hate Curry more would it?

Has never consistently hit the 15-18 ft jumper. Still doesn't even make free throws.
