I know the mods will lock this, but can us frustrated Wizards fans enjoy this moment, if for only a little while?

Frankly, it makes us look like idiots.

Exactly, I want to beat the guy.....but he's a ridiculous force. Our board claims to be the most intelligent board on RealGM, but the way we've acted regarding this guy has been pretty foolish.
Does he travel a lot? Yep. Does he get some calls? Yep. Has Cleveland beaten us three years in a row? Yes. We don't want to act like my childhood Knick fans who used to call Jordan a bum when he beat the Knicks year after year. Declaring a player a bum, "overrated", "crybaby" etc purely because they crush your team for years is foolish.
Heat fans were also guilty of this in the late 90s when the Knicks continued to oust them in the first or second round. Grow up guys, LeBron James proved himself, today particularly, as one of three guys in the league who can carry a team by himself. Duncan, Bryant and James.
If you come up with various conspiracy theories about it, bravo, but he's that good. 45/6/5 in a game 7? Can't cry about free throws, because Pierce got his too.
I DON'T LIKE THE GUY AS A PERSON. But as a player, today he wowed me. Maybe it's my childhood annoyance over the Knicks fans/Jordan thing but I'm not going to be that idiot.

Nice post. I agree completely.
I can't stand Lebron's whiny attitude and I hate the way the league lets him travel so much, but I certainly respect his talent. The guy is an absolute stud on the basketball court. He can do it all. I was most impressed by his defense in the 4th quarter. He was everywhere.

I've always laughed at Jordan comparisons, but his defense on the one play I'm sure is lingering in your mind Nate is the steal against Pierce which led to the dunk. His defensive stance/intensity reminded me very much of Jordan.
