Sure he was.
Look, Brandname, i have been spoonfed mr. Lebron James for years now by the media and it just won't fly. Maybe you are more impressionable (sp?) than i am, so you can see though all the BS that's been made about this player...
First, it was the "he's so young" excuses...
Now, he is 23 years of old. No championships. No MVPs.
Then, it was "he is Magic and Jordan comined"...
Then he stopped playing PG. And stopped playing SG.
Then, it was the whole "firdst player to get back-to-back-home-games-whatever-in-the-playoffs"
then, refs were bailing him out.
I'm sick of all this crap!
Is Lebron James having a monster year?
Is Lebron James one of the best 5 players in the League?
Right in both counts.
HAs it mean much so far?
Absolutely not.
I hated Kobe Bryant with a passion (resulting in my voicing that the Lakers should kick his *** outta Dodge after his public tantrums this off-season). But i can see and apretiate what he has developed into.
the Lakers are at top of the Western Conference.
The same Conference who has some MVPs aorund.
The same Conference that has Duncan and the Spurs, Dallas, Phoenix, and the Eastern imports like Iverson, Shaq and Kidd.
The Lakers are at top without their Center and with guys like Fisher and Wanton starting.
That's a freaking feat.
The Cavs are #4 in the Eastern Conference where there are only 2 teams worth been giving a damn, in Boston and Detroit (and Detroit is going nowhere).
So, please marvel at Lebron James' stats. I would rather watch Kobe and the way he is blending into the underdog Lakers.
