    Anyone else feel privileged to watch the King in action...

    Guy is reminiscent of Jordan and the way in which he could step up and deliver when it matters (esp in finals).

    Love or hate him, he is unquestionably the best player in the NBA...

    In 30 years guys can look back and tell their kids and grandkids that they were lucky enough to see this guy play...

    He is THAT good...

    He's under more pressure than Bird, Magic or MJ were in the finals; he knows that if he doesn't come up huge, the Cavs have no chance to win the seres.

    He is going balls out tonight. Great player. Heads and shoulders better than everybody else on the court. Better than the hype

    Athletes should feel privileged that people watch them, otherwise they wouldn't have a job.

    Really respect him. Had some issues when he first started, but seems to be a decent guy. Good to see people grow.

    Yeah, just as suspected...James fails again...excellent game winning attempt there for that 3...very high quality % shot..Jordan loved not getting separation and then jacking up an ill-advised fade-away 3 at the buzzer. I remember when Jordan got the ball top of the key in game 6 against the Jazz in 98 and shot that terrible fukkin air ball 3 fade-away to lose when they only needed a 2 pointer...I remember that one time in the 91 championship against the Lakers when Jordan got swept in the playoffs when he was a favorite, man that was brutal...44 pts in a playoff game?! this has to be an all-time great playoff game record I would imagine. I don't think MJ could touch what Lebron has done in the playoffs and career. He's a much more liked player than MJ. The crazy thing is, while the majority of people would say offensively the game has gotten way easier since Jordan's prime Bulls era, I would completely disagree. You could hand-check back then on defense, no defensive 3 seconds, etc etc. There are few power centers/forwards that can disrupt Lebron's size, some of those shots were way too easy. You really think Laimbeer or the hall of famer Dennis Rodman gave you easy buckets without getting punished? That was all part of the game back then, hard fukkin basketball...this is more like watching woman on the rag, especially when you got Jeff Van Gundy's little bitch voice calling the game..I'm going to tell my kids about how amazing Lebron was when he goes 1-7 in championship games over the past 2 seasons and chokes in the games most crucial moments. No sir, I will not be. Call me when MJ loses 3 ships.

    Top 3 player of all time as of now with many years to come...we don't have to compare him and MJ every damn day

    Mike would have never went to shit in OT like James did. Sure he had 40+ but he also took a lot of dumb shots

    Yeah they should've done better than a Lebron fade-away 3...just because you hit that stupid shit, doesn't mean it's a good shot Money. MJ would've gotten a way better look, as evidence, Lebron fades and settles for 3, then he doesn't help his team to any points in the first 4:40 of OT...MJ did that all the time.

    all he had to do is drive to the basket, shoot, get fouled or kick out. Instead he took a long fade away 2. That was a bad play and then he continued to play bad in OT.

    Haha, you might be on to something I think here JJ...Jordan's offensive arsenal was like a well that never ran dry. He had his premium go to moves, but he could do anything at anytime to anyone. And when he was doubled he would hit Steve Kerr so he could win the game for them. It seemed like Lebron was more focused on trying to hit 2 3's to get to 50 points than trying to win the game.

    Cavs weren't winning in OT...they got blitzed as a team, Lebron included

    It wasn't a good shot but it's not like Lebron takes awful shots every time and MJ wasn't perfect either.....people just need to relax with the hate for every single thing Lebron doesn't do perfect. Literally every time he doesn't make the perfect play in a big spot he gets ripped by half the people

    It's just annoying as fukk....We can compare their careers in like 10 years, doesn't have to be every day

    and Jordan told Kerr before the shot to be ready. If Stockton comes to double team, be ready.

    James is gonna set new playoff records for worst 3 pointer % and also worst FG % outside of paint. I mean this literally.

    He is the best player in the NBA but with Irving out he is going to have keep chucking. 38 shots and 44 pts is nothing fantastic. He'll have to do everything for them now. Run the point, help clean the glass, take 30+ shots. He'll have to do that for over 40 minutes per game (except for run the point). It's ridiculous. He'll wear out for sure.

    First, MJ had that attitude all the time after losing momentum in a game and going to OT, he had that Eeyore attitude...no fire...oh well, guess they forced OT, game's over. Let's just keep missing shots, 12-13 misses in a row down the stretch, MJ's teams did that shit regularly in championships...god they sucked.

    Second, I didn't start some thread praising this loser as being on Michael's level. I'm not gonna be telling my kid's about all the championships James managed to lose in a completely watered down and weak conference. And I hope to god no one else outside of Cleveland will be...James is just hungry for $, ships and fame...nowhere near the level of determination, heart and fire as Michael...and that's what makes a true champion.

    You can't completely blame Lebron for not being on that level, since he was in high school he has probably had a huge head. Watching himself on espn, knowing he's the future #1...MJ didn't even make his high school team, he was busting balls just to try and get better every day...Lebron's come up on the silver spoon while MJ had to earn his right through blood sweat and tears.
