I know he didn't mean it that way, really trying to speak as quickly as possible and GTFO but it will be used against him fo sho.

elbuckeye28;585889 wrote:I don't understand what is wrong with him saying "greatness." Lebron will go down as one of the greatest players of all time, so why is it a big deal if he says greatness? Everybody gushes over the fact that Jordan knew he was the best and was not afraid to let anybody know it. Kobe says things like that quite often, and he get gets praised for it.

Laley23;585901 wrote:Even though he embarrassed the Cavs, he did it in the way that Cavs fans have always complained about. He was having WAY to much fun. This should have been a game where he didnt really smile much. He just doesnt seem to want to piss off anyone in the league, and it comes back to hurt him.

elbuckeye28;585904 wrote:The Pippen comparison is stupid. Lebron has been the best player on the Heat this year.

elbuckeye28;585897 wrote:It still does not take away from the fact that he has "greatness." Besides everybody is always on him for not having the "it" factor and say he's too passive. Yet when he says something that shows he really think he is the best, it's his huge ego. You can't have it both ways, especially after he just embarrassed the Cavs.

elbuckeye28;585908 wrote:Yeah it hurt him against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Championship. It hurt him in Game 7 against the Celtics three years ago when he almost single handedly beat them. It hurt him against the Magic two years ago when he put up ridiculous stats but nobody else showed up to play for the Cavs. Maybe Lebron has too much "fun." Seemed to me Malcolm Jenkins and the Buckeyes were having a ball at Wisconsin a couple years ago doing the "Jump Around," right before the Buckeyes came back and Jenkins had the game clinching interceptions.

ytownfootball;585909 wrote:I know it's stupid but the skills comparison isn't the point... Jordan stayed in Chicago and gutted it out 'till the pieces were assembled. Kobe ran Shaq outta town...

LeBron pissed down his leg and went to South Beach

that will be his legacy whether he wins anything or not.

Laley23;585916 wrote:...and maybe because he doesnt exude any of the fire during the season, his teammates cant help him in those situations. LeBron is a GREAT player...but he has never seemed to have the killer instinct. When he has had amazing playoffs, he still seems nonchalant about it. He DOES get fired up and pumped up n the playoffs, but its the only time, and it isnt to the level it should be.

But they are not on the same level as far as greatness as Michael, Bill, Larry, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Kobe and the like.

elbuckeye28;585920 wrote:See last year we were all happy that Lebron and teammates could have so much fun during a blowout. All the talk was about how the chemistry was so great, they could dominate and have fun. Now that he is gone, he does the same thing, and it was something that made Cavs fans in the past, even though the opposite is true. Maybe it made you mad, but I remember a lot of people on here defending his actions.
