JaVale needs a sweet pair of goggles if he’s going to try that shot.

He’s complaining about the foul despite only getting the rebound by leaping into it like Jeter into the stands.

Because at some point it won’t be accurate. Extra windy day, weather, fatigue...

Not until he loses in the Finals thirty times - or wins a couple on someone else’s back.

An open one ended Chad Kelly’s.

The AL last year had two loaded teams, a SAWX outfit not quite at that level, and a Yankees team that could hit to the moon. Someone had to undeservingly miss the ALCS.

You don’t need numbers, just show all the times LeBron is hiding over in a corner while someone else on his team has to try to win the game.

He’s the worst at clutch anything. No pressure when he’s down facing the tying basket, since there’s nothing at stake. Pressure on though, and he couldn’t be any further from the ball if he were hiding in the locker room.

Curiously enough, because the Pats LBer got to him it was underthrown and possible to catch, rather than an extra four yards on it and six DBs break it up.

He was enough when on the Warriors, but LeBron and this Lakers team isn’t the Warriors.

The problem with that is only one man can drive with the ball at any time. The ball-movement O Featuring LeBron James has been countered since San Antonio tore him a new one (and would have been two if not for Ray Allen, which the Lakers don’t even have a pinky of).

He couldn’t go to Philly because he wouldn’t be surrounded by the type of players he needs to look like he does everything. There aren’t four spot-up corner shooters there, so he would have spent half the time yelling at Simmons/someone else and looking like it’s someone else’s fault nothing was happening, and the…

He hasn’t been the best in the world since the last Miami title. 

Nah, LeBron is a shithouse player carried to any heights by someone else.

Shit take, Laura. This is the worst thing about Deadspin, change not even for change’s sake.

So he was benched.

Why didn’t you link to one of the real reasons the Warriors didn’t win 5 straight -

in retrospect, Keith Richards cooking classes were a bad idea.

Go all the way and decree that all basketball should be the Lakers playing the Celtics.

Yep, they got one over the immortal CJ Beathard.
