    When did he every have that title?

    When he opened his played career with that amazing game vs the Wizards? When he singlehandedly beat Detroit? When he nailed that epic game winner against Orlando?

    Look, I'm a hater, but at least I'm based in reality. LeBron is and has been many things. We don't really need to make up reasons to hate him. If you want reasons to hate him, I can give you some ... Not four, not five ...

    I'm not actually a Lebron hater, not really. I think he went about The Decision the wrong way, but he does come across to me overall as a geniunely nice guy.

    That being said, 'playoff choker' was a term I heard thrown around a lot in other places when the Heat lost to the Mavs in 2011, so that's probably where I heard him given that particular title.

    Apart from that game winner, didn't he pretty much disappear for that entire Orlando series? That same Orlando team that went on to the Finals?

    Blazers vs Mavs, game 4, 2011 playoffs. Actually succeeding in coming back from a 23-point deficit was frickin amazing.

    [​IMG] Got that text earlier from a dear friend of mine that lives in San Jose. Whether or not he actually partied along with Landry remains to be see. :p

    As much I love the ESPN NBA studio crew (Rose, Simmons, Wilbon & Magic), that discussion of theirs just now* was ridiculous.



    *Because it matters that LeBron hasn't been in a lot of television commercials.

    So I was at work yesterday and missed the Grizz/Thunder game. Probably just as well, because I would have probably thrown a shoe through our TV. When I heard that the Grizzlies had lost, the first stat I looked up was free throws - Grizzlies 14-24, Thunder 22-25. Game. For about the past month, the Grizzlies free throw shooting has gone down hill and it has been getting under my skin. You're paid millions of dollars to do your job and part of that job is making free throws.

    Gotta take care of the little things and the bigger things take care of themselves. Especially in this series, where every game will be tightly contested.
