It been several years I have been hearing this - no doubt the guy is a special player but he's no where near the top 3 or 4 players - and when is he going to start dominating in the playoffs? Next year I guess
MVP my ass.
I watched the finals - did he play? I don't remember seeing him.
Yes, he's really good but he does not seem to have that extra level - like a Bird who would hit 5 shots in a row late in the 4th
The problem with this entire Rx (and sports fans in general) are the majority of people only remember the last thing they saw and are too overreactionary. Lebron James is absolutely freaking phenomenal (better than every single player in the NBA not named Kobe Bryant). He had an awful game. It happens. These are the same people who are saying Chris Paul is God as a point guard reincarnated and don't remember how awesome Nash, Stockton, and others before him have been
James is a splitting image of David Robinson - and there's nothing wrong with that - but Robinson is not Duncan and James is not Kobe - please, stop with last year's finals BS - the Cavs were not a top 5 team last year and got treated accordingly
