LeBron James: ‘I’ve Accepted This Villain Role’

why are people debating about rondo vs rose in this article.

Would Billups in Miami really improve the team that much?
I know Billups is still better than any p[oint guard on the Heat’s roster, but in my mind I see fast breaks with Bron and Wade ending in pull up threes by Billups. That is scary. Plus, Billups isn’t as good on defense anymore.
I don’t know. I like his shooting and intelligence. Not so sure about shot selection.

also the daily drose vs rondo debate is really pointless by now fellas. You’ve already laid out all your valid arguments both ways, now we need to just appreciate the great basketball that both play nightly. It’s a contrast of two great, devestating styles, one a scorer the other a consummate team player. Sounds kinda like a certain rivalry at the center position during the 1960′s no? and that was a golden age for the center position. I daresay we may be entering the golden age of the pg. Let’s just enjoy it, and save the daily debates for the offseason when we’re desperate for stuff to talk about…

Enigmatic, I love watching DRose but are you really reaching into the college bag just to prove that Rose’s a better PG than Rondo? I much rather have Mia go after GOden than Billups at this point because GO on this heat squad would make them damn near unbeatable while Billups would only help them a little becuase it’s not like Mia is in dire need of a old non-defensive shot-jacking PG. GO on the other hand doesn’t need the ball to be effective, he would just protect the rim and snatch up every rebound in his vicinity.

Portland will resign Greg Oden, as crazy as that sounds. They are also not willing to admit Roy is done as a All Star SG, which is why they are going to trade Andre Miller.

Allen: I see you. On one hand, Billups is about a bajillion times better than Rio and Carlos. But he WILL pull up with an open Wade or Bron flying down the wing and take the big shot at the end (which hasn’t been a great thing lately). Worst of it, Bron and Wade would respect the ring and the experience and not force him to give it up. Could get messy. Maybe I’m overanalyzing things.

You won’t succeed.

Let’s start some new versus debates to help ease the withdrawl pains: Ronnie Turiaf>Glen Davis for most annoying cheerleading teammate.

@Diesel – Glen Davis.
@Jukai – You talking about who’s the better player or who’s more deserving of their undeserved contracts?
Tyrone Hill vs. Popeye Jones for ugliest NBA player in recent history?

go lakers

There is NO WAY Wilt would score 100 points in todays game.

wow, some o yall talk about brons playoff experience like this was his 2nd year. i know the team is in its first year but come on, both wade n bron been in the finals, these guys know a bit abt winning.

Btw all you cats who argue old school players couldn’t dominate today need to bear in mind that those old boys were stronger in SOME aspects of the game than contemporary players. Who are we to say what chamberlain couldn’t do in todays game? Leave that to guys who actually saw him in his prime, and have lived long enough to witness the changes in the game that have taken place. Respect your predesessors.

@ Enigmatic: Um, have you seen Eric Williams or Sam Cassel? Those two take the cake EASILY when discussing the ugliest NBA players.

Gimmie a t! Gimmie an r! Gimmie a ol-lol-ol! You got trolled!

Haven’t checked in much lately, just curious… are people still laughing at Boozer?

man I wish people hated on vc and t-mac back in the day. fuel their motivation. especialy vc I’ve only seen his inner bad man a few times.

Booooooooooo.

^^Two morons.

I just can’t help but bring this up. Remember last yrs playoffs? yes lebron played relatively bad vs. boston but jesus christ he absolutely manhandled the bulls. they also booed him like no tomorrow and what did he do? 31ppg on 50+ percent shooting from the field and the 3? lebron is a bulls killer. just like he is a blazers killer. He matches up well with the bulls. Should be a great game rose will go bonkers. but at the end of the day… wade/bron will be too much. and god forbid a bosh sighting (in all seriousness bosh has played really well for the past month and a half not 100 million dollars good but consistent nonetheless). I expect the heat to win this. wade playing at home v. brewer/bogans combo is going to be harsh for the bulls. The bulls already know what booing lebron entails (again, last yrs playoffs) and if bosh decides to show up for yet again another PF battle with an elite on the other side than bulls won’t win. 1 things for sure… stacy king’s gonna be going bonkers.

Lets cut the crap about Lebron folding in the Playoffs- These are his playoff averages
29.3 8.4 7.3- Doesn’t look like folding to me- Now I understand that it’s not just about how much you score but WHEN YOU SCORE!!- But even he can’t win it all on his own. Remember how he beat Detroit in 07 in the semis almost single handidly when he scored 25 points straight but was unable to sustain that through the finals.

Game 5 against Boston was an exception and not all his fault- What about game 3 when he detroyed them almost by himself- What did his teamates do?- Nothing!! Kobe’s teamamtes won game 7 in last years finals not Kobe. LeBron could not have a bad game and still win. – His point was he needed more help. And judging by Cleavland’s record now HE WAS ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT- THESE GUYS MAY NOT WIN 20 GAMES THAT’S A 40 GAME DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!-

CHILLIN’ LIKE A VILLAIN hands down the best comment on this thread.. Clearly da best hahaha.

in my eyes, Queen james has always been the villian.

right from the beginning.

Also, I did not know Nike owns converse. Wow.

I heard he likes to kill endangered rabbits.
