Lebron James MVP - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

ok ok... i should have expected that.... but kyle busch is mostly just guilty of ignoring the media which like i said i got no problem with that. having to explain yourself after losing has got to be annoying. plus nascar is just so much different from your standard team sports (basketball, football, baseball, etc). from grade school to the pros it's just customary to show respect for the other team after a game... win or lose. no one in nascar is expecting you to go to each driver and crew and shake hands.

still i will admit that i think kyle busch has a ways to go in the class department.

After the game, Lebron pretty much didnt talk to anyone, just went to the locker room, got dressed, threw on some headphones and went to the team bus. Not saying a word to any reporters or even to his team mates... He only scored 25 points the whole game, scoring no points in the second quarter, and really didnt look like he was there, he looked tired, worn out, and most of all, distressed.

I think this year he got a taste of wanting a title more than ever. As for him leaving the Cavs, its possible...There has been countless players that have sacrificed money for a TRUE shot at winning a championship. Lebron could do that, take a pay cut for a year. Just to clinch the title, then go wherever he wants.

I think there was just so much hype when it came to the Cavs this playoff season. They stormed easily through 2 teams, teams that werent really sound or even defensively strong, nor did they have the ability to contain Lebron.

i don't really think anyone has the ability to contain lebron. he just freight trains it to the bucket and if he doesn't get the basket the refs call a foul on his behalf. but one "pretty good" player will only get you so far.

Since when was 25pts "only"? I thought that was good. For the record, I have watched half a game of basketball in my whole life.

25 points is pretty good. but when you are the sole bread winner for the team it's not so good.

tuckevalastin · 05-31-2009, 04:55 PM

25 points is "only" when your team is built on one player doing all the scoring.

I get you :)

Lebron James' scoring average was over 40 points per game the whole series, His average throughout the playoffs is up in those numbers too...

Scoring 25 points should be a shameful thing if you put up 40 points easily per game average. I will give credit to the other teams players on the Cavs for trying to step it up when they saw that James couldnt do it all on his own this game, but it just wasnt enough in the end. As a Magic fan, I give props to the Cavs for giving their all.

Now the other aspect that probably even more, was that James couldnt put a single point up in the second quarter, this allowed the Magic to just cruise on by and rack up a good lead. The issue was that killed James was the whole idea that they would give him the ball, and bam! there was to be a shot made, he scored 13 points in the first quarter, none the second...and only made 12 in the second half. Seems like someone either gave up, or just was having a hell of an off day to me!

Easiest way to express how the last game went down...Orlando stepped it up to dominate the whole game, and Lebron couldnt get in gear to push the Cavs towards the victory.

I remember yesterday that J. Nelson for the Magic said it best... You just cant do it all with 1 guy, or 2, or 3...It requires a team effort, not just the guys on the court, but on the bench too.

I have no problem with him shunning the press, I can imagine hes upset, and rightly so, but I do have a problem with the way he acted, not shaking hands with the other team.

I could be wrong, but didn't he do the same thing last year?

tuckevalastin · 06-01-2009, 03:18 PM

when he did talk to the press, yesterday I believe it was, he made it clear that he isn't interested in shaking the other team's hands if he loses.
