Well I guess LeBron gets a 1:19 break. They look absolutely lost without him on the floor.
Cavaliers 2.0. Lol.

Nice all around 2nd half from the Heat. Take a 3-2 lead in the series. Pacers tried to make a run at the start of the 4th but Spo put LeBron back in and Indiana never got any closer.
I swear, Lebron is a once in a lifetime player. I understand that you may hate him for different reasons (the decision, leaving Cleveland, flopping, etc.) but I think we all need to sit back and realize what a privelage it is to watch a guy like him play basketball. His basketball IQ is unlike anything I have ever witnessed. The way he see's the floor is just unfair. His size, strength, agility, quickness, etc. is just one of a kind. He seems to be getting that killer instinct.
I absolutely love watching players excel in a game as to where they are that much better than everyone else, so I can honestly say... as a Lebron James fanatic, thank god for blessing my lifetime with Lebron James the basketball player.
If the Heat stay halfway healthy and together, they have a chance to win the next few championships.
GO Pacers
or
Go Spurs
Dwade sucks
No question he is a great player. But I am willing to bet a good amount that you are under the age of 30. Am I right? I mean no disrespect from the question at all, genuinely.
Calling someone a once in a lifetime player does a disservice to quite a bit of guys that were unstoppable just a few decades ago under different (some would say harder) rules for offensive players.

Maybe not a once in a lifetime player but to me, I enjoy watching him play more than other player since Jordan.

EDIT: I want to add that the reason the age thing came to me (and maybe I am wrong) is that we (meaning all of us) always assume and believe that what we are watching is the greatest ever. History in todays day and age is a forgotten thing as it pertains to sports (among other things) is completely forgotten.
There is no evidence to suggest that Lebron wouldn't have been just as dominant under other rules. He can only dominant under the current generation and he is doing just that. Its the equivalent to the question "Tiger couldn't be as good if he used the equipment of yesteryear".
Just as there is no evidence to say that any of the previous wouldnt be just as dominant or more so now. I NEVER said that he was not as good, what I said was that calling him once in a life time does a disservice to those that did it under what many consider harder rules against offensive players.
Again, I never said star entitlement was overnight or flopping (although flopping is far worse now). The hand check rule changed the way the game is played.
If you want to believe he is the best ever, have at it. And FWIW, the Scottie Pippin thing is pretty funny based on a whole lot of factors.
As I said current generations always believe what they are witnessing is the best ever. Nothing will ever change that. Not once did I say that James was NOT the best ever. Just that calling any player a once in a life time player (knowing all too well that the person saying it did not witness the past) does a disservice to those prior.
And furthermore, the same could be said about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan said Bill Russell was the greatest to ever play. So did Shaq. Larry Bird said it was Magic. Magic said it was MJ.
I think whoever said he's one in a lifetime maybe should've said one in a generation because its true. Defining generation as decade or whatever is appropriate, you get the point
Lebron (current)---Kobe (late 90's to mid 2000's)---Jordan (late 80's to mid 90's)---etc...
Federer---Sampras---etc..
Tiger---Jack---etc..
I have a question...
What is worse, flopping or superstars getting BS calls?
I said he was once in a lifetime player, and you probably are correct. Once in a generation is more on par.
