AWESOME article about LeBron choking!

This is beautifully written. I put it in the Finals thread, but it's honestly so good that I think any fan of the game of basketball will thoroughly enjoy this read.

It's a Lil lengthy but stick with it, it's totally worth it, and he ties everything together masterfully.

Edit: I've lost a lot of respect for LeBron after reading what D Wade said to him. He has responded fuging HORRIBLY!! I'm telling you guys... This is a must read

I'm a Heat fan and I agree with everything said in this article !

The font makes my eyes bleed.

I'm on my phone.. Youre probably pulling up the mobile version. See if you can find a good link from your CPU at home. It's an article on ESPN written by Bill Simmons.

Actual title: It's time for LeBrondown, Part II

Actually liked the article. It really lays out the impact of the decision and the makeup of the team. Bill doesn't flip flop, D.Wade is the heart of the team. I mean he won a title with the team already, its his.

And Lebron doesn't need to be MJ, he isn't MJ, he won't be MJ. Lebron is Lebron, and everyone tunes in to see what he does next. Thats what makes game 5 so interesting. The big story is 'how will Lebron respond'

KT I'm not trying to start anything, but you have such a blatant man-crush on LeBron that I don't think you have ever said anything but good things about him. It kind of makes what you have to say regarding LeBron hard to take seriously.

In relation to the article. Damn good article and I pretty much agreed with 95% of it.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
