Bron's got all the physical tools to be the greatest NBA Baller ever.
But I think he lacks the heart, the love for the game.
{When asked if he watched the NBA Finals, forward LeBron James of the Cavaliers said, "No. I was busy. It wasn't something that was high on my list."}

He might really have been busy...maybe with family stuff, who really knows?
But if you love the game, truly love the game...you would have watched the first Lakers/Celtics Finals since 1987.
You would have scouted how to defend Kobe or Paul Pierce and MORE!
no disrespect, but this is lame!
1- the guy was one game away from going to the finals, so it may have been painful to watch.
2- why watch games when u can find out what happens without watching.
3- he was just eliminated and needed time to rest/heal, especially since he is playing this summer
4- he may not have elected for down time and instead chose to work on his game for the olympics
5- maybe he wanted to take a family trip, since he had free time.
there are alot of reasons for him not to watch, more than i listed as well. not watching the finals means you dont have heart.....i guess larry bird was heartless, as larry said he never watched if he wasnt playing in it.
