Can't we just give him a ring of his own, so we can get back to watching quality basketball?

This is exactly why if we lose tonight, I will be rooting for the Heat in the finals.  Sure they will still talk about Lebron, but I don't think the hyperbole will be nearly as strong next year if the Heat win the title.  If they lose to Boston or OKC, the hyperbole and hype chain will be far worse next year, and that is a place i don't want to be (unless of course Boston wins the title, then I won't care).

I don't know.  The Jordan hyperbole never really decreased as he won championship after championship.  Heck, he became a cartoon superstar too.
Yup

Celtic fans are death sick of Lebron as many golf fans are sick of Tiger. Does that mean that Tiger isnt the best and does that mean lebron is not right up there with the best? We used to hate Magic, Jabbar and all the Laker players that got the best of us. Now we cant stop Lebron so we hate him. Isnt that kind of an inmature attitude?
Everyone else mentioned in that paragraph besides Lebron was pretty well revered for being super clutch when a championship was on the line.  Lebron's not there yet. 
Yup

We do not hate lebRon the person. We hate LebRon the trend. And the way he has been given a crown without any hardwork, and the way, for some reasons everyone praises him so much.
