LOL c’mon man, let’s not use the, “because people say it’s true, it must be that way.” There are lots of people that will tell you that Jeter is better than ARod. We call those people fools.
Besides, the talking heads on ESPN will say whatever they need to in order to stir up controversy. I wouldn’t put much stock in what they say.[/quote]
Respected analysts are saying this. Bill Simmons has to be one of the best analysts when it comes to basketball and he says it. Other REPUTABLE analysts are saying it. Yes, they’re opinion does carry a lot of weight. And when you have thousands of fans all saying the same thing you can’t just freaking ignore it dude. Seriously, gimme a break.[/quote]
I just think a lot of it is emotionally tied to the extreme doughbaggery of how he twisted the knife in Cleveland’s back while making this decision. I think by the midpoint of the season, all the analysts will be back on Lebron’s nuts talking about how he’s matured, has a better approach to the game, is learning how to take over the game at times while still deferring to his teammates, etc., etc., all those other bullshit sportswriter cliches.
I love Simmons, but, until the Celtics series, he was all over Lebron’s nuts talking about how it’s a travesty that his MVP was unanimous and how Lebron was going to end up as the greatest of all-time. I think that was an overraction one way and now I think people are overreacting the other way.
I really do hope I’m wrong. I would love to see an apparently gregarious, humble and likable star like Kevin Durant ascend to further levels of greatness. I’d love to see aging lions like Duncan, Garnett, or Nash get one more gasp at glory. I’d even rather see a creepy jaw-jutter like Kobe win, because at least he works his ass off to improve his game every year.
