Prince James Version

I haven't been paying any attention to the NBA finals.  Well I guess I have because I know that the series is tied 2-2.  But I haven't watched a game so far and I don't have any interest in doing so.  The biggest villain right now in the NBA is Lebron James.  The Decision was only right financially for him.  His decision to do The Decision made him the most despised player in the league.  Most people outside of Cleveland have gotten over the show itself, but I still have a problem with his performance.  He has all the talent in the world, but he still needs to take over games.  The media gave him the nickname King James and hyped him up even when he was in high school.  He's in a lose lose situation.  Unless he wins 3 or 4 rings, he'll always be criticized, fairly or unfairly.  Last night he pulled another disappearing act.  Sometimes I feel bad for him because he's under so much pressure over something that is just a game.  That's the nature of the beast though.  Hopefully The Mavericks will win this series.  If not The NBA may have a bigger problem on their hands.  Then Lebron James will be blamed for the deterioration of the league.  The future looks like there will possibly be maybe six to eight power teams and a boatload of horrible teams.  Who wants to see that?  I'm a Hornets fan and I don't want to see Chris Paul leave but I don't see him staying.  I see him doing just like Lebron did and forming another big three somewhere else.   Some people point to the big three in Boston as the start of this trend, but Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were traded to Boston.  It's a totally different situation.  I'm hoping that there remains a level playing field in The NBA because that's the only way I'll keep watching it.  Thanks Lebron.  Maybe Michael Jordan will launch another comeback.
