I\'m watching the Kings game here, and damn this kid is for real! I\'m always gonna be a Kings fan, but I\'m such a big fan of this kid I find myself rooting for him against my beloved Kings.
So far he\'s got 12 points 3 assists, 4 bounds and 3 steals in the 1st quarter! Anyone remember how bad Kobe and KG were their first season? Just think if Lebron\'s skills increase as much as Kobe and KG\'s did in their first 3 seasons.
BTW, I know it\'s just one game but still, he\'s very impressive. It\'s especially impressive when you concider that he get\'s D\'ed up by Doug Christie half the time (1st team all NBA defensive team)

Spurs lost to the Nuggets. It ruined my day.
-
that\'s pretty sad. they looked pretty "iffy" in their first game and now to loose to the Nugs, time for Popovich to straighten things out.
-
Saw the game.. Lebron did well. Too bad they lost.
-
I forgot all about the game. Meant to watch some of it.
You think I\'ll be able to catch another game with him in it?
* Throws out the bait...
-
Well, Tony was sitting out that night. He\'s beginning to have a big role on the Spurs. Also, spurs were just shotting 29% and had 20 turnovers. It will be different in a month
-
LeBron looked great! The Cavs came close to beating the Kings, that right there should really say something. And he had his 25 points on 60% shooting. And he\'s 18! If he keeps developing and improving, it\'s gonna be sick.
-
Reggie Reggie Reggie cant you see, you ruin every Piston game for me.
DIE PACERS
-
Once Lebron gets even better in a few years, they are gonna need to get a better supporting crew. I honestly did not know anyone else on that Cavs team.
-
Well, that\'s the thing. They have cap space, cause there is no one else on that team, but no one wanted to go there before. Something tells me that changes :)
-
I think if the Cavs pair up Lebron with one other semi dominating player, it will be a dynasty. Get a good low post player, a top power forward or center, a guy who can take some pressure off the kid and it will be something special. OR, when Kobe becomes a free agent and isn\'t in prison, hmm...
-
But it\'s still NBA. ANd that is still the suck.
-
IMO, an NBA game is more fun to watch than a NFL game. Especially when it comes to going to them.
-
NFL owns NBA.
(Back me up guys :D)
-
NBA is a bunch of wannabe street thugs who get paid millions to put a ball through a hole.
Big Friggen whoop.
-
True, a lot of them are wimps.
But still, what do football players get paid to do?
a) tackle people
b) run to a destination with a ball
c) throw a ball
thats it....
OH WAIT! the kick it too!!!
-
and they dance too!
-
Yeah dont forget the dance, lots of us enjoy it.
Hell, nothing gives me a Joe Montana like fat guys dancing! :D
-
They\'re both good sports, but I\'d take football over bball anyday.
-
Cavaliers are still 0 - 2. Haw Haw. :)
-
He had another stellar game though.

-
well now the cavs know that one man cannot save a team.......
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
but last year they would have lost by 30 instead of single digits and low double digits like they are this year. IMO, they\'re playing much better with Lebron than they did without.
-
That was awesome to watch on Wendsday...he had an all-around great game for ANYONE, the fact it was his first regular season game made it all the much better.
Ricky Davis is decent. Maybe if they see they aren\'t going to be blown out every game, they\'ll gain some confidence, and I wouldn\'t be at all surprised to see them in the playoffs.
1: They\'re in the East.
2: They\'ve got Lebron (main key if he continues playing this well)
3: Let\'s not forget Silas, who could make a major difference in the teams attitude.

The NFL has turned into a pu$$y a league. Everything is a penalty. you taunted a grown man penalty. Hit to hard penalty.
I\'m a hardcore football fan but man does it piss me off.
-
so true quddus. I am surprised that some of the old school players don\'t push the NFL to allow them to have more fun. It certainly is a lot more fun to watch when they play ball rather than the panzy crap they have to do now. I mean it\'s an emotionless game now...
But this thread is suppose to be about NBA. and NBA blows nuts.
-
Yeah keep your NFL shite out of this thread damn it. You\'ve got your own sticky for that. Back to NBA:
West > East
Suns > Cavaliers
Frankie Johnson > Paul Silas
Shawn Marion > Lebron James
Nuff said. :)
I can\'t believe how everyone is talking up Lebron James. He had 7 TURNOVERS last night. That is horrific! 21 points doesn\'t mean shit when you have 7 turnovers, because your team WILL LOSE.
I\'m so sick of all this emphasis on individual hot dogging and dunking, and forgetting about the outcome of the game. Someone should start a new thread when the Cavaliers actually win a game.
-
I think you\'re missing the important part of Lebrons play...he\'s 18! Kobe was shit at 18, so was KG, T-Mac, and most everyother teenage nba player.
-
Yes, but think back over the years to all the rookies that everyone proclaimed as the next big thing. More than a few of them turned out to be worthless. I have more faith in the players that started from nowhere and built themselves into something by force of will.
-
I was the one that started the talk of Lebron here and it\'s nice to see he earned every second of it.
-
17 - 65. That was the Cavaliers record last season.
When they win 18 games this season, only then can anyone speak of him "earning" anything.

Actually Killax brought him up 3 days prior. http://www.psx2central.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=27063&highlight=lebron+james
I still haven\'t cought a game by the little thug. Saw a ommercial though the other day.
-
that nike ad where he is "frozen"? that is a pretty cool commercial (if you look when they show a shot of the ans behind him there is a sign that says over-rated (or somehting like that).
I am a lebron fan but one man does not make a team............but MJ almost dispels that.....
