They just don't get off the guys gluteus maximus and it's absolutely getting to his head. You can tell he's getting ****y too.

The Magic are winning this series 3-1 and have totally had Cleveland's number, yet all ESPN and TNT keeps talking about is how awesome it is that LeBron hits clutch shots and is scoring 40 point games, as if neither of them have happened before. Why isn't ESPN talking about how dominant Dwight Howard is turning into and what a great team Orlando is. It's bullcrap.

And oh by the way. Larry Johnsons 4 point play and Allan Houstons shot were so much better and more significant than LeBrons game 2 game winner.

Whats funny about LeBron's game winning shot is that if Delonte West or Daniel Gibson made that **** no one would care. It's so stupid.

Hearing about LeBron is tiring. He is an arrogant jerk and to top it off there are many times where he is not playing as hard as he could be. He coasts often. If he had Jordan's drive he'd be a much better player.

That being said there wouldn't be a fan alive who wouldn't want him on their favorite team.

Yet, he is what he is, a self absorbed arrogant jerk that was handed everything since high school whereas other past superstars earned it.

Ohhh, I'm sure the media would care and I'm sure they'd be heros in Cleveland, at least until the next game.

And I'm not questioning LeBron's character nor his game. I don't know what LeBron is like as a person. It does seem like he's getting arrogant as a bball player. That's all I said. And his game is still out of this world.

However, they are kissing this guys ars yet the Magic are freaking up 3 games to 1 and have been wearing Cleveland out convincingly.

Even JVG, Mark Jackson and Mike Breen are doing it. I noticed it yesterday when randomly (I think it was random) they just started going on about how it's amazing that LeBron is scoring these 40 point games. Dude, how about how Dwight Howard is whooping ars as well as the rest of the Magic team.

I wouldn't say he's reached jerk status yet, but I would agree that the media is playing a big part in his play. The Cavs rolled their way to the third round, and I think they were all too confident.

Mo Williams making guarantees? Come one now

Hopefully LeBron throws a hissy fit and wants to leave Cleveland

HA!

i couldn’t disagree more.

lebron has been given every chance possible to NOT live up to the hype and to fall flat on his face in front of a non-stop national spotlight.

and instead, he's been a phenomenal success, leading a team that everyone is now decrying as putrid to 66 wins and a conference finals berth.

look at greg oden for some perspective on what lebron's done.

You sure you're not talking about Kobe there? People have said things exactly like this about him too.

up to this year he's handled it pretty well but when he was gushing about that shot himself in the post game interview when his team hadn't even won anything yet, it was pretty telling to me that the media worship is beginning to get to his head... like i said last week, if Derek Fisher or some other role player had made that shot, u wouldn't have heard even a fraction of the media hype about it & i can guarantee that Fisher wouldn't have been sitting there in a post game interview gushing over how impressive that shot was either when the series was still a far ways from being over... i've seen Kobe & MJ make infinitely more clutch shots in bigger games during the Finals & i don't remember hearing them worshipping themselves in a post game interview over the shot they'd made... Lebron needs to step up & will his team to victory in this series & the Finals before he sits back & admires his work.

hate how the cameras cover lebron during practice/warmup and they make a big deal out of it when he hits crazy gimmick shots. there are probably loads of players, or hell, fans, who could do that stuff with enough tries. they just don't have cameras on them nonstop.

got nothing against lebron, but it is really annoying how much ass-kissing is going on

Birdman is a putz.
Has way too much "flair" for the amount he contributes on the court.
He's non-existent on the offensive end.

LIsten to the NY fans being sour on the Hype!

Were any of you sick of the Jordan-is-god crap while it was going on? The Magic Johnson crap in its day? Bird?

If you watch jordan highlights there were no coasting, but he certainly did his share. They all do.

YOu think Lebron can't coast? Then your buying into the same expectations as everyone else.

He hit is first big shot in a game that really counted and it was a great moment.

This kid has carried the cavs to the semi's last and perhaps again this year, was the MVP and one is complaining about the hype? He has handled it very well in my opinion!

If your tired of the hype, turn it off! I can't watch every moment of every game. Too much fluff!

I remember the knicks of the 90's and when they got eliminated I felt relief as the games were slow and intense and listening to Bill Walton drone on and on just wore me out!

Lebron is under microscope and the league needs him in the finals!

Cleveland wins tonite.

Haha. Guess this means he's going to become a Knick, since we find a way to hate on every singe one of our players only right we prepare for Lebron's arrival by needlessly hating on him in Cleveland.

C'mon, duke is a class act and when he retires he will go down as the single greatest basketball player of all time. Yeah, I said it Bytch.
