I have never been so dissappointed with the state of the nba. The officiating this year has been terrible, and i believe skillset wise, Lebron has the second best skillset in the league. Too bad his entire career is tarnished in my opinion. The mindset and mass marketing of stars in teh NBA, especially james has turned it into a league where if you are big, and can dribble, and have a star name, then you can just dribble, jump and throw some horse crap up and count on the ref's bailing you out 99/100 times. If he could hit free throws worth a crap, the media would be calling him the best player of all time b/c he would have 60 a game. I'll never put him in with the likes of russell, jordan, bird, just for that reason. Great skill, and at no fault of his own, the current state of the game we will never know how good or bad he could be.
Sorry for the rant, but its frustrating.
