NBA Finals: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks

I can't believe I'm saying this considering the source but Jason Whitlock nailed this column about LeBron's critics.

Bill Russell doesn't deserve to smell Kobe's farts.

I refuse to believe Whitlock wrote that. LOL.

[TheRealDeal]

Why are u guys arguing about the Lakers and Kobe? Don't let the media get u all hype! LBJ isn't in Kobe's level. Kobe isn't on MJ's.

Probably the smartest thing you've ever written in your life.

[X-Clown]

I refuse to believe Whitlock wrote that. LOL.

And I can't believe Rick Reilly wrote this one, along the same lines. Hell is freezing over.

I was going to get mad about LeBron winning the championship and then I realized....that it's just a piece of metal in the shape of a basketball and it in no way means he's better than anyone else or more productive than them. He can have his NBA title, cause in reality it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Exactly. A title doesn't make you a better player than someone else. It's what you do in that process. Everyone knows that LeBron James is the most gifted basketball player on the planet and is truly an all around player. But when I judge players, I judge them not only off talent but what they do with that talent. That's why I love players that do more with less. To me, LBJ wants to win obviously, but he doesn't seem to have that greatest of competitive drives.

"killer instinct" is usually just one wrong step away from "destructive narcissism"

Who do you think has more natural ability? I am just talking talent wise.

not 100% sure to be honest...but that doesn't mean I think it's Lebron.

There are many many talented players in the league that all bring different talents to the table. Is defense more important than offense...is size more important that speed...we could sit and argue these points until the cows come home and still we'd never settle...much of it is based on opinion.

I like Lebron... always have, but I like DWade just as much... which is why I like the Heat.

I don't think DWade is a more gifted player than Lebron, but I think he works harder.

Exactly.

Lebron's size, speed, strength, etc is phenomenal. He is a VERY gifted player.

But right now, I think Wade is playing better than LeBron.

That is not a knock on LeBron....only giving Wade the respect and props that he has earned and deserves.

LeBron James leads all players in minutes played in the playoffs including the Finals.
