I bet that 14 year old girl knows.

Well there's one area where Jordan unquestionably outranks Lebron.....tv ratings.

This years Finals had a 17.28 million average.

KingJames LeBron James

The Greater Man upstairs know when it's my time. Right now isn't the time.

 

David Stern?

 

Winner. Hilarious that the same people who cried about Rose not getting any calls don't care to notice when it happens WAY WORSE to someone they hate.

 

 

Are we back to LeBron is so great that there has to be a reason other than LeBron for failure.

 

As for the fouls, the guy has no offensive game, and he was almost to the point where he was trying to draw a foul rather than actually make a shot. If he's not fast break dunking or jacking a shot, he IS JUST NOT THAT GOOD. I can't believe all this stuff I'm hearing from everyone implying that LeBron can get to the basket like Jordan or Kobe, and he somehow lost it. Simply not true. He never has and never will.

 

LBJ and DWade also probably cost themselves some calls over the playoffs with their flopping. Officials probably watch sportscenter too.

Colbert on Lebron:

 

"Like they say, it's not whether you win or lose, but how you disparage the pathetic lives of the little people who make it possible for you have to a career bouncing an inflatable ball."

So you said that LeBron isn't a scorer/shooter earlier in the series, now you're saying he can't get to the basket. How exactly is he managing the 4th best scoring average of all-time with all these offensive faults?

He probably should've taken off the 4th quarter of his career.

[SpongeWorthy]

Yeah back off guys. Lebron is Mashburnesque when it comes to scoring in the NBA Finals.

[Guest]

I'm just curious what the next front is for the LeBron haters. He choked in the Finals, but that doesn't seem to be enough for their bloodlust if they're going to try to say things like LeBron is bad at scoring the basketball. I eagerly await the LeBron birther conspiracy this offseason, and the "LeBron went to the Heat to become a twisted version of Dexter, murdering the poor of Miami" rumors next year.

Any time your superstar is filling it up like Jack Twyman in the NBA Finals you've got to be stoked

Maybe Fred gets that reference.

Eh, I just dislike him cuz he's an entitled douche.

nope, you don't get to do this, not after what he did. you should just probably keep quiet and wait for help to arrive.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nah, we'll just wait and see how DivineBovine explains how LeBron scores through osmosis or some [expletive].

I'd be willing to look past him being a bad scorer if he could accomplish that.

I don't care about any of that. But I will celebrate just a little every year he doesn't win a championship.

[davell]

The Lebron bashing will get old, but I don't see it stopping anytime soon and he's to blame. He needs a damn shock device or something that goes off everytime he's about to say something stupid. Because until he stops, people are going to keep piling on. And I hate to say it, but I honestly think he's entitled enough to keep this up for a very long time. I don't see the end of this stuff for years, at this point.......

"I just thought we were going to come on the court and it was going to happen, like that," he said. "I didn't really anticipate struggling. The struggles taught me something."

Every time I read a quote from Chris Bosh, I wonder if he can read, or if he signed his contract in crayon.

[javy knows my name]

Please don't conflate people who hate LeBron with people who hate him so much, they've convinced themselves he sucks at basketball.
