Official 2008 NBA Playoffs Thread

I have been consistent in my critique and praise of the Cav's and Lebron. Simply put even with what I would call his flaws, I hate playing against him, and I would take him in a heartbeat. But the earlier point stands, he has put himself on a pedestal with his attitude, play, and off-the-court stuff, and when you do that, the light is a heck of a lot brighter on you, and it's easier to see the flaws.

It sure is, but I don't think they would have put the spot light on him so much if they didn't think he could take it, or live up to it. I just can't wait till next year, just give him time he will be great one day.

I'm not sure Kobe wanted to be "on" Jordan, I think he wanted to separate himself.

Either that, or the lucrative contract he signed with Adidas in the beginning...

This is part of our point, while the media maybe turned on the switch for Lebron's light, he took the regular bulb out, and put in the spotlight.

Remember too that nobody is saying that he's a bad player, people are just giving opinions on his overall game.

No doubt, but even when that was up, he would much rather just be with Nike, than "under" Jordan.

Kobe would gnaw the corns off of Jordan's big toes....I'm just playing...We are in a rare era of more than one great player...We are SOOO spoiled right now...The NBA almost fell off a few years back...I am just happy to be alive for the ride! I already can't wait till next year...lol

I dont think he put the spot light on him, Nike and the Cavalier faithful did that themselves and Skip Bayless mainly put the spot light on him, I wish Steven A or Barkley would knock that pink suit wearing arrogant prude out.lol.
