    it all starts in the media these guys are so fukin bi polar it's not even funny if lebron gets a ring which i dont think he will this year but if so the media will start to come around on him and the followers will follow and start to embrace him more i believe , there will of course still be haters , 2 days ago the heat were done finished now im sure we hear how boston is old again and the injuires and everything else and now there done , im not jumping on lebron's bandwagon just yet can he sustain that performance again i look for a much better effort by boston and defensive effort  on lebron in game 7.

    a lot of people will shut the fuck up and leave him alone.

    Just like when A-Rod won, doesn't get the same amount of hate.

    LeBron will still get hated on, just not on this insane level

    Yah people will say he's only got 1.  Or they'll say it took Wade and Bosh's help, etc.  Whatever. 

    If he closes a game and wins, they say yah whatever, do it in the playoffs.  When he does it in the playoffs, they say yah whatever, do it in the finals.  When he does in it in the finals, they say yah whatever, win a ring.  When he wins a ring, they'll say yah whatever you only have one, Kobe has 5. 

    Dirks win's last year, and suddenly it's questionable who's better Dirk or Bird.  Give me a break. 

    There are a shit load of people who are never satisfied.

    People who are "hating" on Lebron on hating on him saying he isnt the best in the NBA...

    Lebron is by far the best player in the NBA...

    People who are said to be "hating": on him, atleast myself, are hating the fact people are saying he is the BEST EVER

    That is what people are hating on...

    He is the best in the NBA...but to even claim he is the best ever without 2-3 rings, let alone without 1, its beyond wrong

    Right now all Lebron is the Dan Marino of the NBA....

    You need multiple rings to be considered the best ever, and the guy doesnt have 1

    Best NOW...without a doubt

    BEST EVER...not even close

    So is Dwayne Wade better than Lebron since he has a ring?

    Does Lebron have to win 5 rings to be better than Derek Fisher?

    Not at all.  But, to be considered the best EVER in the sport you play, you need to win atleast 1 championship

    Lebron is by far the best player in the NBA...

    People who are said to be "hating": on him, atleast myself, are hating the fact people are saying he is the BEST EVER

    That is what people are hating on...

    He is the best in the NBA...but to even claim he is the best ever without 2-3 rings, let alone without 1, its beyond wrong

    Right now all Lebron is the Dan Marino of the NBA....

    You need multiple rings to be considered the best ever, and the guy doesnt have 1

    Best NOW...without a doubt

    BEST EVER...not even close

    agree

    There are a shit load of people who are never satisfied. 

    Noone wins titles alone....If OKC gets it done like everyone says they will it will be becuase Westbrook explsiveness and Harden versatility.....Ibaka...shot blocking and shot making....perkins toughness and glue play....fisher..clutch and timely shot making and flopping ....sephalosha defense and 3 point shooting and collison valuable backup play for ibaka and perkins

    Get it....OKC is a better team than Miami....

    but folks will make the leap and say LBJ failed and maybe even say this is the game that defintively shows that KD is better than LBJ which to me is ridiculous and not accuarate way to determine who is the better player

    NBA finals will determine who is the better team

    As a team unit wise, OKC reign supreme. LeBron will have to be at his ultimate to carry this Miami team...

     There is no player on earth rite now that is by far better than Durant. that human being does not exist. please have u watched okc play in the playoffs Durant has been just as good as Lebron and way more and i mean way more clutch, not even close. Lebron was legendary last nite  but to act like Kevin durant is not in the same ball park as Lebron is beyond a joke and when they meet in the finals i bet u Durantula wont be laughing

    You bring up some great points regarding OKC!  I agree definitely the better team.  Something to think about though, two years ago when Bron and Bosh came to Miami and everyone made them clear cut favorites to win multiple titles.  No one was talking about OKC making that leap two summers ago.  They weren't even in the conversation.  Why with the same talent they have and basically same talent in Miami is OKC considered now the better team?  Maybe bron and wade just don't mesh well together?

    Haters will always be haters.  For those that hate, it unfortunate that his skills is overshadowed by the "decision" to move to Miami.  In retrospect, the way Cavs owner reacted to his change of heart it's the right move.  Who the hell would want to be around and play for that dude.

    I still think people will see the truth. He looked for a easy way out to win a championship. Building a superteam and taking less money. Honestly it is like cheating in my opinion.

    Funny how OKC developed and kept all of their own talent instead of buying a core like Miami and now OKC is considered the "favorite" and "better team".

    But there too, I mean LeBron gave the Cavs how many years to build a solid team around him? With very few players as exceptions he was always surrounded by fucking scrubs.
