For the record, I've never been a huge lebron fan, hated him hard for that decision bullshyt and the Miami era

Gained some respect for him going back to Cleveland and most definitely have gained respect for him throughout these olayoofs

He's taken an injury riddled team to the finals, hes thrived with no legit #2 scoring option and has inspired his team

Mans on fukkin beast mode and putting up godly numbers

At the same time his shooting has been shyt and he's been hella inconsistent in the clutch

I'm conflicted on his performance...and where it places him

A part of me (I'm 31) still feels he hasn't definitively established himself as the greatest SF of all time (Bird :salute:) but I also can't deny the fact that he's just a fukking machine out there

Do we chalk up the poor shooting to the weight on his shoulders, the minutes he's playing, the usage etc....its bound to wear a man down

Interested to hear y'all thoughts, no stannery or clowning

You began to respect him when he crawled back to a guy who basically called him his property :comeon:?

I think it's fair to blame a lot of it on the minutes but he also has made some dumbass plays and missed a lot of shots that would have been money in his Heat days. Still godlike though.

His close people apparently told him not to worry about shooting percentage, just to get those dubs

Conflicted about what? Hes owning this series right now at a ridiculous level

The poor shooting, inconsistent play in the clutch etc

Not enough to detract from his overall dominance so far and truly if the cavs take it, this shyt just goes out the window

Who the fukk are you to get mad at a person for switching teams? It's a business and players have to be businessmen.

Just take account to what they do on the floor. My only gripe with LeBron was his flopping, but he seems to have minimized that.

What LeBron is doing is remarkable, and if he can win the series, this will no doubtedly usurp bird as the goat sf, but at least top 10 of all time.

The only player anyone should hate is Dwight Howard. fukk that overgrown shoulders mental midget fakkit.

You are being ridiculous.

LeBron is doing what he has to do to win. Stop looking at everything analytical.

Who would you rather take more of those shots? Iman? Tristian Thompson?

He should've done that in Miami too last year.
Treat Wade like a role player and just take over... but he had too much respect for him.:francis:
Wouldn't have mattered. We didn't have the size of perimeter defense needed. We had Mario and cole at the point too. They had no chance no matter what he did. Spurs would've been up on Cleveland too.

Conflicted about what? Lebron is playing with one of the worse supporting casts, in a championship run, that we've seen in a decade or so while leading them past two 60 win teams.

Delle
Shumpert
Smith
Thompson
Mozgov
James Jones

No one on the planet would think that's a championship caliber team without Lebron
