He is downright hilarious though, just because the creative ways which he finds to blame Lebron James for everything is truly an art. I remember when he kept saying Dwyane Wade was allowing Lebron to close games and thats why Miami lost. Dude is in another realm of crazy. Nah Skip Bayless is wrong on a great many things, but for some reason he has got Lebron James pegged. If anything I think he is the world's foremost Lebron James expert. 2007: Predicts the Spurs will dominate Lebron 2008: Predicts he will lose to Celtics 2009: Predicts Dwight Howard will outplay him in ECF 2010: Predicts collapse vs. Boston 2011: Predicts Dwayne Wade will be alpha male on the team, predicts Lebron will shrink in the finals. | ||

As for ESPN, I don't really watch sportscenter anymore but I love reading the live chats for the trolls. It's like 4chan for sports. | ||

LeBron is tough enough mentally and certainly gifted enough to bounce back. The Heat are clear favorites for next season in my book, and I see LeBron as finals MVP. | ||

I love skip but you have to take his comments with a grain of salt as he is a sensationalist. He always has something interesting to say rather than the by the book rote though. | ||

All i'd like to see now is Lebron developing into a complete player with a postup game, Extend Bosh's range to a corner three. Keep Chalmers/Miller/Haslem. And sign a free agent or two in the off season. Develop an actual offense Keep their heads down next season and get to the finals again. LETS GO HEAT They couldnt get rid of miller, who was not worth the money, to save their lives. They need to hope they can pick up vets chasing a ring for minimum if they want a chance. If the league goes to a reduced hard cap they are screwed though without the big 3 reworking their contracts in a major way though. Miami would have been far better off imo getting bosh and a complete roster, you can't have 2 people control the offense on the same team. | ||

He comes down pretty hard on Lebron, but I think it comes out of shock and disappointment like it does for the non-hater Lebron critics. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/30224/second-guessing-david-thorpe-on-the-finals If Erik Spoelstra is not the coach of the Heat, who will be? My first thought was Phil Jackson Ha! | ||

Macy's clearly doesn't understand that almost everyone is a mavs fan over the heat ;D Though perhaps they had both versions readied? | ||

Tyson about 9 i think. Don´t shy away to say the BIG Three play in Dallas! Don't forget Peja! One of my favorite shooters of all time. He really deserved this one. | ||

With the internet and a lot of fans being as polarized as they are, they tend to assume that someone who is neutral/doesn't care is against them (because you're not with us?). That doesn't make me "good" in any way. Why would you care that much that a complete stranger that you've never met seems like a prideful person? Why is it so important to so many people to act as the police force for arrogance? Lebron is not your friend, he's not your coworker, he's not a neighbor. Why do you care at all what Lebron says or does, and just as his arrogance is his problem, isn't the fact that you want to hate him your problem? I mean, most of us probably care as fans of basketball. We want to see the best players at their best against each other. If Lebron's arrogance pissed off his teammates and made them play worse, that's something fans of basketball would and should care about. But apparently they love the guy. If he has some mental flaw in his preparation, that's something I would agonize over if I were his fan. And if I were a fan of the other team, I would be, well, grateful for his flaw. I haven't thought this completely, through, but as a fan of basketball, I might chuckle at weird off the court stuff (like Artest), but overall I don't care unless it affects the game or criminally bad. How he reacts to a defense that takes away what he's best at is interesting. How he'll respond to that in the future is interesting. The rest isn't important to me. | ||

Well he was a "choker", he was soft and he didnt post up. I don't remember people saying he was never gonna win a title tho. People said he wasn't gonna win playin like that. Same goes for Lebron. Nobody ever said he's not gonna win a title in the future but athletes have to take the criticism for their shortcomings | ||

Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on LeBron-haters to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. Haters're going to continue to live the way they want to live and continue to do the things that they want to do with themselves and their family and be happy with that. Anti-haters can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only themselves, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, they have to get back to the real world at some point. | ||
