The LeBron James charade

I don't know about you but I'm sick of LeBron James I have had enough of his antics and the charade he pulls. He thinks he is god's gift but has never performed when it mattered, when rings were on the line. With a tattoo "Chosen.1" scribbled across his back and the nickname 'King James', you would think he has done something when it mattered. You sadly would be wrong, he has as many NBA rings as I do, Nada.

Now there is no denying LeBron James has talent, that is why I'm inducting his charade or act and not LeBron himself. I do however find the way he acts is disrespectful to people who have actually talked the talk and then walked the walk. Even those who have done no talking and done all walking (Dirk Nowtizki). He gallivants around calling himself the king, he has even gone so far as to get himself a throne which occasionally he will ride around on. Yet his over-sized hands are bare, not just from the NBA but college as well, he has never won anything in a team. Yes, he has won MVP's and what ever else, but greatness is defined by your success in a team as well. After all, it is a team sport.

LeBron had a great chance last year to cast the few doubters away, however on several occasions throughout the most vital 7 games of his career, he went missing. 'The Chosen One' became 'The Frozen One', in the quarter of champions LeBron James did not show up. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw this posted all over Miami afterwards. How can someone who is supposed to be so great be such a disaster in the biggest moments of his career? Have you ever heard the phrase, 'Come of the hour come of the man'? Wheres is the man, back in Cleveland?

In the 4th quarters of the 2011 NBA series, LeBron not only lacked aggressiveness to get in the paint, but he didn't even look like he wanted the ball. Every time his teammates would look to him for something when they needed it, he dished it off, made a poor shot, pass or decision. A lot of people will say LeBron had a triple double, however the Heat needed points, and he couldn't deliver as he would in the regular season. In the regular season LeBron averaged 26.7 points a game and in the finals series averaged a disappointing 17.8. The worst part about it wasn't that LeBron shot and missed, he didn't even try, he lacked heart and that is unforgivable on any stage in any sport.

Hopefully soon, 'The King' puts his crown down, tosses his throne on a bonfire and goes out there, keeps his mouth shut and wins. That's all he has to do. He is surrounded by a massive pool of talent at Miami. Just win LeBron, don't talk, don't claim anything, don't go to England to watch the football or tweet about playing in the NFL. Get on the court and work, earn your title instead of proclaiming them yourself, no one is buying what you're selling anymore. The time for words has come and gone, put your money where your mouth is and some rings where your hand is.
