Was Lebron playing for the mob????

[THE KOD]

It hasnt come out and I doubt that it will


but this is the reason I believe that King James did what he did in the Dallas final games.

The Coach of Miami was trying to have a pep talk with the team. You know his team of prima donnas.

It went something like this :

Coach - OK guys for this series I don't want no ball hogs on this team. I want you to play as a team, and pass the ball around. A assist is just as important as a basket.

The Lakers had Kobe and look where they are. We just cant play that way and beat this Dallas team. We got to play team ball.

Wade - Smiles

Boch - Smiles

King James - Looks down sulking.

So as we saw with King James when he was in the Cleveland series with Boston he changed into Dr jeckel.

I think that King James mindset was to pass the ball at all costs and show up his Coach for embarressing him.

In the final quarter there were numerous times when the ball was passed to Lebron only to have him pass it back like a hot potato.

This is what I think anyways

No one ever mentions this when talking about JAMES" big game performance. Before coming to the NBA, he was hands down the best player in any game he played in. I think never playing in pressure packed College games has as much to do with his 4th quarter disappearance and the seemingly "fear of failure" as anything. Everyone knows there's something different about play-off games even if you play in adult rec leagues. Now one may say,"Hell, he's played in enough of them now." This is true but maybe he just has to "back into" a championship to get this monkey off his back. Lot of baseball players carry teams to playoffs, but fail in the post season. Just an opinion.
Maybe someone should research HS to pros playoff successes. Mose Malone comes to mind but even he was surrounded with some great dudes.

Kobe, Garnett. Both have come up big

OOPS THANKS. I WOKE UP IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT AND REMEMBERED BOTH. lol STILL THINK LEBRON IS DIFFERENT FROM THEM IN COMPETITIVENESS.

Sure seems like Wade is getting off the hook. Even if LBJ isn't a closer everyone says that Wade is one of the best. If he is then why didn't he close. I can't stand Miami and LBJ but he's getting a lot of grief when IMO Wade deserves just as much. Heck, he may deserve more. You never saw Miami putting Wade on the Mavs top scorers. They where putting Wade on Kidd or whoever wasn't a threat. He made some good plays from off the ball but isn't willing to use up his energy play hard man on man. LBJ wasn't playing tough d from the start. Outside of the 4th LBJs numbers were very good.

You are kidding right? Wade isnt the self proclaimed CHOSEN ONE or a KING or a special about him on ESPN for The Decision. If it wouldnt have been for Wade they might have got swept. It wasnt Wade that handled the ball like a hot potatoe when he got it or pounded the ball into the ground for the whole shot clock or bascially just quit. No comparison. Perhaps they didnt want him to chase Terry because he was the one guy you could count on to score if and when needed, sure his stats werent gawdy the last game but he appeared to be hurting. Wade's Game 4 was one the best Ive seen for a long time, and kind of not his fault James HAD 8 points and truly was lost late in this game, win that game and series is over for all intensive purposes.

Also, Heat were down 40-28, Lebron comes out and next thing you know 15-2 run, why? Because they had better ball movement and spacing. Anyone in the NBA can guard a guy that doesnt move. And your comment about if we take away the fourth quarter his stats were good, come on man, its Leborn James the same Lebron James that Pippen said is or might be better than Jordan or the same Lebron James that stated he couldnt be guarded one on one. He is gutless and heartless.

He can say "the great man upstairs doesnt think its his time yet", the same great man upstairs that blessed him with size strength and athletic ability most would die for. The great man upstairs cant play for you, you have better tools than most, WORK for it.

Wade is damn good but I just can't and will never get over how much of his game is to intentionally run into players that may not even be guarding him to go to the line. I know its the refs making the calls but that title in 2006 was a joke and 3 of my most hated players ever are Shaq, Wade, and Lebron. Great talents but an absolute joke the way they all just came into the league getting every call all the time.

That said, I agree with a lot and since I hate the Heat, I really worry about them "backing into a title". The east wasn't very good this year.....celtics are old, bulls are young, and everyone else sucks.

If Heat had gotten past the Mavs and won that first title, which they could have, I think all the pressure would be off and we'd see multiple titles from these shitheads. I just hope it never happens but there's so much talent there and if they make a couple moves in the offseason, maybe just one significant move, they could begin a dynasty. I hope not...

Just a thought cause i never trust this league and their nonsense but lots of times i see people getting pay backs from years back. Dallas got rob of the title in 06 with shady refereeing. (heck even Cuban was screaming how this league is rigged)That was all about pushing Wade because the league loved him. Carlise got fucked royally when he got fired and they handed that handjob Larry Brown the title in Detroit. I always thought that title was handed to Brown for being a company man. A league kiss ass. The trade of Wallace to Detroit for basically nothing put them over the top. These sneaky trades that are made like the Paul Gasol trade should never be overlooked. I have always thought Carlisle was a great coach and when the siers could hire him and didn't showed me what the Sixers were made out of. Carlisle and the Mavs were owed one. Then u have Lebron playing like he never played basketball before then stating it wasn't his time. Hmmm. this poor Westbrook kid better change his tune cause the league loves Durant (Durant no huge Tattoes and a great kid). They will do the same thing to him that they did to Iverson. No one player is gonna be bigger then David Stern. Oh and what about the huge amount of money people laid on Miami in the beginning of the year for them to win the title? Boy that must have been a lot of money the books rolled in with Lebron forgetiing how to play.
