I agree that LeBron has some growing up to do. He has had some good players around him this year and they have been the #1 seed the past couple of years. I agree that has been annointed a little soon in his career. He even pointed out that he's only 25.Funny that Kobe passing the ball is something he can be criticized for considering many of the average fans say, "Kobe shoots too much."
And in 2006 the Suns were the 2 seed, the Lakers the 7. Kobe had nobody around him, and that Game 7 was at Phoenix. The Lakers were "supposed" to lose.
The last two years the Cavs have had the best record in the league, and been the #1 overall seed, and a favorite to win the title.
Also, Kobe was not the "MVP" in 2006. Although you may want the similarities to be there, they really aren't. LeBron has never won anything aside from individual awards. As I said before, I will start respecting him when he starts his sentences with "We..." and not "I..." Oh, and when he wins a ring. Don't tell me he does not have the talent that he needs, or that Kobe has. LeBron has Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison, who have both been all stars in the past two years. Shaq is old, but solid. I actually think Cleveland is a deeper team than the Lakers.
Crazy part is that the Cavs could win tonight and Sunday and move on to face Orlando in the East Finals. This series is not over, although many people, myself included are talking like it is.
I am just trying to point out that Kobe had some growing up to do as well. It looks like he has done it for the most part. He plays with injuries and proved that he can win being the focal point of the team. He is definitely driven by the championships.
