he's 1-3 in the NBA finals for his career. choker.
This is a statistical anomaly.
It's also not even true, unless the Heat have somehow already lost this year's finals.
I'm not a fan of LeBron's game but I love basketball and I appreciate what an incredible player he is. Just the fact that making a realistic negative comparison requires talking about guys like Jordan and Bird says volumes about how good he already is. His personality seems kinda crappy but I can't honestly say I wouldn't be at least that arrogant if I'd gotten that kind of adulation and attention from such an early age.
Mostly, though, I don't really care if other people "appreciate" LeBron or whatever, and as Celtics fans we've got every excuse for not liking him. It's just that the constant whining about officials or ludicrous downplaying of his ability (less muscle mass than Vinnie Johnson?
) gets really annoying, especially after an ECF where most calls went against Miami and during a really enjoyable Finals when both Heat wins have been semi-blowouts.
