Lebron is certainly the truth. He needs to play with an attitude of "I don't care what anyone thinks of me". Kobe and TD play like that. That'd the difference between them. Lebron has his business oppurtunities competing against his b-ball. Why has TD been so successful? He cares about basketball. He doesn't care about endorsements, his perception, legacy, or anything.

Lebron was definitely a monster today. Aside from his incessant whining, its really hard not to be blown away by the guy. That said, I think we flat out got outcoached. This probably was a bigger difference than Labron's incredible performance.

How pathetic would it be if Atlanta goes on to win that series? Talk about an opportunity lost for the Wizards, ey? Our loss is Cleveland's potential gain.

Ivan Carter's take on Lebron from yesterday's chat:
I could be wrong because I don't truly know him, but LeBron has always come off to me as a super arrogant guy. I guess that's what happens when the world kisses you're rear end from the time you are a kid. Great player though.


And then there's this gem just posted on Deadspin about Lebron's recent trip to a Cleveland steakhouse:

http://deadspin.com/388546/lebron-james-has-obviously-never-been-a-waiter

LeBron pulls up in his Mercedes outside XO. People stop and try not to stare, but c'mon, it's LeBron James. He enters the restaurant with a group of friends. On this special occasion, the King decides to dine late. He keeps his group there until around 3:45 a.m. During this time the waiter obsequiously pours drinks and fetches anything else His Greatness needs.

The final bill comes to $800. By the feudal laws of decorum, which stipulate that the affluent should administer a 20 percent gratuity, staffers figured they'd be pocketing an extra $160. But when they fetched the autographed bill after His Heinousness bolted back to Akron, their expectation turned to disbelief, then anger.

LeBron stiffed them with a meager $10 tip. This is what French nobles like to call your requisite Bourgeois Bitch-Slap. The waiter wouldn't even take it, tired of being shat on by guys like LeBron.

They probably could have auctioned that receipt off for a couple of grand.
