Lebron James
I don't know how many hoop fans we have here, but to be honest I'm not one. I hate the new street ball style of play the NBA has, and look at my old Cavs of Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Craig Ehlo, Steve Kerr, Larry Nance, and John "Hot Rod" Williams as the last of the days when basketball was an art form more than just a street game. But I must say I'm getting in to Lebron James a little bit now. Mabe because we haven't seen this much hype over our Cavaliers since they routed Larry Bird and the Celtics in game 7 of the 1992 Easter Conference semi-finals. But I wonder what the rest of the country thinks about him. So anyone is welcome to share their opinions here. I'm very curious as to whether the hype is just in Cleveland or if this guy is perceived as the real deal in the rest of the country.

Explain to me how the NBA is like streetball....because they are two completely different things.
And FYI, street basketball is an artform...check out an AND1 Mixtape. |
Im puertorican so dont take this bad people
Is there any MIXED sports anymore?.... basketball... is more black then mix... football same thing...boxing...im not going to go there...golf..but who the **** likes golf...hockey...yea white... but its a ok sport we all like to just see them fight.... So what eles?... Street ball and bball... both the same...to me...that new show on MTV on sundays... one of the street ballas was going to the NBA but broke some thing.. Iverson is a street baller ... |
Alrighty then. I seem to have opened a heated debate, which I didn't want to do. I guess I'm tired of the thug, gangster, and asshole attitude most of the younger NBA players have. Lebron seems to be different, and I hope he holds true over time. He seems to be a throwback to the days when players listened to their coaches, played more to win than for the money, and embrace the city they play for. You don't hear James talk about himself...... he's always talking about improving his team, getting more wins, and making his teamates better. That's the way I was raised when I played in high school, and if he can inspire the NBA to return to that attitude, I think you'd see higher ratings for the games (just so you know, the National Dog Competition on Animal Planet network beat the NBA playoffs in ratings) and more of the small cities (like Cleveland) interrested again.

The And1 mixtapes are off the hook, it's amazing what those guys can do.
