    He probably is a good guy and his teammates certainly seem to respect him but he's sounding pretty insulated and a bit spoiled.

    Was Tebow really courtside?

    If Tebow was there, there was no way the Magic were gonna lose :D

    But yeah, LeBron just needs to set aside his pride and give credit where credit is due. He probably thinks the Cavs lost instead of the Magic beating them and is in denial about it. Or maybe he just wanted a quick start on packing for New York...

    Lakers in 7, in a very close series. Magic have alot of balance. Also, Lebron was wrong for not showing sportsmanship and his little rant was wrong. He is still young, so I attribute his attitude to that. Of course he is a good guy and very likable. But someone wrote this weekend, he doesnt have the personality to survive in a big market, whatever that means. In the end, he will be the best ever.

    I like Orlando. They are taking the "us vs the world" attitude and have enough motivation to pull it off. They already beat L.A. twice this year and have the game to do it again here. Orlando in 6 or 7.

    LeBron vs Kobe would have been a great match up. Good for ratings and the league. Stern and ABC have to be slitting their wrists right now.

    I dont know if LeBron is a good guy or not, he seems to be, but he will have some work to do on his image. Even in yesterday's interview he sounded like a spoiled brat. He's basically the face of the league now and he doesn't need act like this. Losing sucks but this is a sport. In sports you shake hands and congratulate your opponent no matter how competitive you are.

    Orlando in 6. The Lakers achilles is defense, and Orlando has one of the best offenses in the league. Only way the Lakers win is if Orlando just forgets how to shoot the 3 ball, or it just does not fall for them. Rashard Lewis Finals MVP.

    The Lakers actually matchup with the Magic better than Cleveland matches up. Odom vs Turkolou (sp) and Ariza vs Lewis. They have the height and speed to play both of those guys. The hard matchup for the Lakers is against Howard. They probably wont get much out of Bynum on the offensive end.

    Only way Orlando is going to have a shot is if they feed Howard like the did in Game 6 vs the Cavs.

    Looks like Nelson will be back and that is big for Orlando.

    He was there. Got booed when they showed him on the Jumbotron. Expensive ticket for a college student.

    Lakers in 7. Ariza is key.
