    now come on be fair. Lebron has people who can play on his team, they are just inconsistent, but thats on the team for putting all their eggs in the Mo Williams, Shaq, Antwan Jamison basket,put that on Lebron as well, he lobbied for all of those guys I just mentioned. Also, he has to take the bad with the good, if he is the King he has to play like it, last night was just inexcusable and i know you really know that.

    LeBron looked absolutely disinterested in the whole game. Not sure what is going thru his head, but he sure wasn't there last nite.

    Lebron hasn't had many games like that in his short career but they happen. I know it has happened to Kobe numerous times as well but that is expected. The Cavs have no excuse for not surrounding him with consistent quality talent in their prime and they shouldn't rely on Lebron to make those decisions and probably one of the reasons he will be looking for greener pastures next year.

    Only quality player they have is Jamison who they just got have way through this year but very inconsistent. Mo is ok but he benefits from Lebron probably more than anyone else on that team.

    But thats my point, he lobbied for those guys and they did it to make him happy and limit the reasons for him to bolt at the end of the season. He has to take the good with the bad, he help create the situation they are in. Not to mention the fact that Mike Brown cant coach. Lebron needs to grow up, 5 years isnt a short career in the NBA.

    Cowherd was saying this morning that Lebron basically disengaged to see if his team would actually pick up and play like winners. He made a business decision to see if Cleveland was where he wanted to spend the next 10 years. I think its an interesting point.

    Thats bs, because if thats the case, he doesnt need to play next game. Thats the time you want to start that experiment, with the series tied 2-2? Not buying that one.

    All very true. Lebron has the best cast he has been able to assemble since he has been in Cleveland. Although it is true that even the great players have off games, I don't think I have ever witnessed one where the leader just wasn't a factor at all. Lebron not only seemed disinterested, he was invisible for most of the game. Something that even on off nites I don't remember ever seeing Jordan or Kobe just disappear.

    Bhelm is right, I have seen Kobe disappear it was a playoff game against the Suns about 3 years ago and I believe it was on purpose.

    Every superstar at one point or another lobbies for their buddies for their team but the Cavs seem to be the only team who listens to these request without thinking for themselves.

    Just debating on who is on the court and the results, not how they got there. He can take the good with the bad but the point of my argument is what I described in my previous post.

    5 years is a short career considering most NBA players don't even see the floor until the 3rd year. Lebron might say some dumb **** here and there but no one has come into the NBA with the expectations put on him and lived up to them like he has on the court. Off the court there has been no problems either. There is a reason he is the MVP.
