I honestly consider Lebron one of if not the best ever already. I hate when people go to team accomplishments to judge an individual player. Anyone remember the Cavs '09 series against the Magic? One of the greatest individual performances I've ever seen and the Cavs couldn't even force a game 7. People say he doesn't show up in the playoffs, yet there's only a handful of games that they can point to. The only thing they can say is that he hasn't won a championship, which is such a flawed argument.

I don't know one credible basketball person at virtually any level who has ever said LeBron was better than MJ lol.

Deep down, people are dissapointed and depressed that their own incredibly lofty expectations for another man have fallen short, and their frustration comes out as hate towards LeBron. Big3, I'm not even really directing that all towards you but that clip makes me think of the hoards of "LeBron isn't better than MJ!!!" idiots.


Thom Yorke, I am sure you are aware of the EPIC Pierce VS Lebron battle in the Eastern Semis Game 7. When LBJ went for 45. And probably the greatest performance ever VS Detroit in the Eastern Finals game 4 in 2007. LeBron went for 48 and scored his team LAST 25 POINTS. Caps just for emphasis how unbelievable that is. It just amazes me that people so easily forget and dismiss all the amazing and incredible things he's done.

Another great game tonight, Celts showed they wanna make this a series. They basically had to win tonight and next game to have any chance. Boston completely hinges on Rondo, I still think teams should try to play him more like a normal point guard and pressure him.

Anyone see the Heat's lineup at the end when they made that run?? With LeBron at center? That was pretty sweet and they were scoring easy but unfortunately couldn't get a rebound.

boston plays outstanding team ball for one half and subpar basketball the other and makes it work

i thought miami played good team ball as well actually, 29 pts for lebron i'll settle for that if im boston.

KG is a tower in this series, when lebron is out nobody is close to matching him

That was a crazy game right there.

If Wade makes the game-winner, everyone's talking about how Miami made a great comeback. Instead, it's all about how well Boston played the first half.

Fouls were obviously huge in this one. What a terrible call on that KG-LeBron double foul call.. WTF is that? Then Pietrus flops and pulls down LeBron for the 6th foul. Hate to see fouls like that influence games. Great move by Pietrus but the double foul call was huge and made no sense.

No clue what the Heat are running on game-winning chance shots. Terrible job on the last shot of regulation and Wade's greatness got him a wide open 3 point look but it just didn't go in.

Lucky win for Boston I feel, but WOW 2 great conference finals going on right now. Will any road team win!?!? I'm calling Thunder win games 5 and 6 and Miami ends up winning in 7 at this point

I thought they just reversed. Boston was unreal in the first half and Miami showed its Machine in the 2nd. I still think the officiating is god awful but I suppose I'm bias.
