Watching LeBron James is like watching Jim Brown play offense and defense.
An athletic genius. Beautiful to watch.
How does the Cavaliers’s NBA title reflect on the state of the USA in general?
Dunno for sure.
Sincerity and soul beat tactics and what is essentially bureaucracy. Golden State was about “specialists”…small quick guys with a good long shot and the occasional good inside drive plus big, strong, relatively dumb, highly emotional guys with a lot of muscle. The Cavaliers were about one genius who did everything better than everybody else, including providing other, less talented players with great chances to use their talents.
If only our upcoming election was so clear.

Drives to the basket?
Miracle assists?
An attitude about the heretofore depressed cities of the U.S.
that recognizes them for their real, human value?
I’d vote for LeBron James right now!!!

James maybe a great basketball player, but hardly the most complete athlete of all time. Walter Payton and Jerry Rice in the NFL, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux in the NHL, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronoldo in soccer These stars are just as good, if not better than James. James gets more hype than others, but that’s about it.
You are consistent, I’ll give you that.
Always wrong, apparently. None of them have his size and power matched by speed, reflexes, endurance, game intelligence and sheer will power.
None of them. Payton might come close, but the complexity of basketball on that level makes individual players do everything. Run, jump, shoot, pass, defend and most of all, think!!! No one has ever dominated a game on championship level like LeBron did in the last two games of that series. No one. Not in all aspects of the game. It seemed like he was everywhere for almost all of four quarters. It’s never been done before.
