The LeBron Hate Thread

[Amphatoast]

OK HATERS, ANTHER GAME WINNER, NO 4 STEPS, ANY COMMENTS?

He also had some nice jump shots for a change

[BIG GREEN]

Yea..the refs didnt call it when he stepped outta bounds...he double dribbled, he traveled and he committed an offensive foul. Cause there is no way lebron james could make such a great play.


Seriously...this is the best playoffs im seeing since jordan's days.

[Matthew]

Whoa, what an amazing game. Arenas, Butler and Daniels were great down the strecth for the wizards, and Lebron was the only one doing anything for cleveland.

The more I watch the replay of the "4 step" move, the more convinced i am it wasnt a travel. Simply saying it was 4 steps doesnt make it so. Slow it down, watch it closely, and then comment on it.

[volsey]

another great game by lebron and arenas, arenas shot amazing today, especialy from 3, lebron had some nice difficult jump shots go in, i cant believe lebron missed the game winner at the end of the fourth, he made that exact shot more than a couple times in the game, but w/e we won

[Matthew]

You're bitching becuase Lebron missed a very tough fadeaway at the end of regulation? oh my god

[Andrew]

On top of the game winner, he also made two clutch free throws down the stretch. Snow got things going early in OT but LeBron finished it off in style. Great game.

[zmac]

Yeh Snow scored 6 straights points for Cavs in the OT, he really proved himself today, and Hughes FINALLY had a decent game.
But LeBrons jumpshots were....impressive at the least!

Also, if you say he traveled on the drive, watch it a couple times and you see that when he steps around the guy he dribbles the ball over their leg, and no he doesnt carry it....

[Matthew]

5 Straight. He made a 3 point play and a left hand layup. And isnt it amazing how lebron fans have to defend him for making a game winning shot?

[zmac]

He actually did make 6 Matty. 1-2 FTs, then the 3pt play, then the lefy layup . And what do you expect me to do, say he traveled when he didnt, this time.

I was a bit confused at first as to whether or not he made it. I didnt watch the game and I came in this thread and read someone saying he made it, then another say he didnt. Then people starting to defend him so I was like "So he didnt make it". Then I checked ESPN. I just woke up so my head's not really here. Oh well.

What I dont understand is that with all thats going on in this series it doesnt even excite me the slightest bit.

[Cloudy]

Even I dislike him a bit because he's too good for his age...
Congratulations LeBron, good game winning shot. Definately one of the best playoffs this decade

Oh did he? Hahah shows how much I was paying attention. And I wasn't criticisng you for defending him, im just saying the man had an awesome game and made a great play, and Lebron fans still have to defend him from the backlash. The expectations on Lebron are absurd... I'm just glad he's living upto them.

[Mayerhendrix]

He's more hyped than any player in the league.....and it's all deserved. He's brought his team from top of the lottery to 4th seed and 50 win seasons in just 3 years. Now he's clutch too....just save him the spot in the Hall of Fame now.

[Its_asdf]

So much for LeBron being criticized for his poor play during crunch time... He's been playing spectacularly (minus the turnovers) in this series.

I really wanted the Wizards to win this one, but LeBron just keeps killing my hopes.

[Fenix]

I think he's even underrated, whatever that's supposed to mean. He is 21 years old. 21! There wasn't anyone in the world with his skills and athleticism at this age. Never.

[Its_asdf]

Underrated? You're kidding me. This guy has more hype than most superstars combined.

He's definitely not overrated either.

[The X]

this seems to be the Wiz-Cavs talk thread, more or less....

can't fault Lebron, he seemed to do it all single-handedly & made the big play to win it all....he was great, G.A. was great, as were others....I only saw last quarter & OT, but Butler was great....can't believe the game even came to that stage as Cavs choked late....ahh well....

[BIG GREEN]

this seems to be the Wiz-Cavs talk thread, more or less....

With all the lebron hate going on on page 1...i felt the need to change the topic.

[Matt]

Scores the game winner, but very well could have gone the other way. The was Wizards game, but they just couldn't hold on....

Funny how arguably the two best players in the league both have hat threads. I'm gonna go make a Steve Nash Hate thread unless there is already one.

[BIG GREEN]

There's alot of nash haters now....including me. Anyone who's succesful is gonna have haters.

Scores the game winner, but very well could have gone the other way. The was Wizards game, but they just couldn't hold on....

no!..really? It could've gone either way? ..who would've figured that except you!

[Matt]

if it weren't for the Wizards incompetent D they would have won this game. LeBron on the other hand, he had Butler, Jeffries & Jamison trembling with his defense....hell i bet Arenas was scared when he went 1-on-1 againt James and scored an uncontested layup.

[Scotty]

.......nice new thread name, anyway nice game winner-looked a little easy though, they were allways going to give it to him...

[Fitzy]

yeah great name
i dont hate lebron though

[Scotty]

yeah i dont either, but there was alot of negative posters on his back, so i guess they just changed it
