Lebron James



Lebron James. I’m getting tired of people calling Lebron James the best basketball player in the world. I like Lebron. He’s both smart and dumb. The decision, was what I’d call a bad decision. But what are you going to do? That was so long ago. 
            I’d say this,  Lebron James is one of the greatest regular season players in the NBA today. He plays nice and loosy-goosy in low-pressure situations. There’s a smile on his face when he’s beating up on the marginal teams. But when the playoffs come around he starts to get a little tight, and the further he goes into the playoffs the tighter he becomes. His smile turns into the face of stone. He starts to force things and then he disappears altogether. Hey, where’s Lebron? He’s over there! Where, I can’t see him? Right there! Where? Right there standing next to Vince Carter and Tracy Mcgrady.

The Lakers

            I'm  a big Laker fan. It's my dream to watch a game with Jack. Frankly, I’m not very happy with the changing of the guard from Dr. Buss to Jim Buss,the son. How did Jim get his job? Nepotism. In other words, family connections, not by a show of talent. That being said it’s the moves he's making that I’m not pleased with. Trying to trade Pau Gasol for who? Chris Paul? I like Chris Paul’s game, he’s a great player. He has single handedly destroyed the Lakers in the past, and we need a point guard, but if it weren’t for David Stern who has by himself done more damage to the game of basketball than anybody else in the world, we’d be talking about how we need someone to play the four spot. The trade talks for Dwight Howard are just as nonsensical. We have a big man with more upside than Dwight if he could just learn how to turn left without bumping into somebody and flip up a left handed hook shot off glass. Beyond that, what we really need is an on ball defender on the parameter. That's what we need. Someone on the outside. Find him Jimmy, find him now.
