He is a really good player, but his contract is all people think or talk about, and rightfully so.

My stance on Joe Johnson making the All-Star team always was "somebody from the Nets deserved it, so it might as well have been him"

If Garnett would just play like an average PF in this league the Nets would be on the cusp of going up 3-2, easily.

I swear, sometimes I honestly think Bosh is the MVP of the Heat. He hits some big time 3's in what seems like every other game.

I swear the Heat just don't go away. They hit every shot conceivable to stay in the game until the end

Its disturbing how physical Lebron can get when playing defense. Pushing, shoving, ridiculous.

Lebron fouls JJ on the other end no call...goes down to the other side and same move same contact and it's a foul on JJ...that's some bull

lopsided officiating

Any time a player play good defense on LeBron, and it's the slightest of contact, it's a foul, but LeBron can play as physical as he want defensively and go weeks without a single foul

its why I've always hated hearing about how good a defender Lebron is.

He's a good defender as he's allowed to keep bumping players.
