Disagree. Did you watch his reaction after winning that first game? He was all business, he actually looked to be pissed off. Wade was the one jumping and hollering, because Lebron saved his ass after the 3 point foul.
Agree with your disagreement. One thing I have no doubt about is that LeBrown is serious about championships and just as importantly, his legacy. Is the latter selfish? Maybe. But the man takes his game seriously. There have been a ton of people in recent years trying to get the Lebron vs. Jordan debate going. Who is/was better? You can make some arguments on both sides but for me, the # of championships is the key and until and if Lebron gets near that number....
Anywho, I saw where Jordan was asked recently how he'd guard Lebron to which Jordan said he'd force him to go to his left because if he gets a step to the right, he's going to the rack and unguardable. If you force him to the left, he'll shoot jumpers and you can guard that. They said the very next game, Lebron repeatedly went left and took his man to the hole and scored at will. It was in direct response to Jordan's comments.
Having said all that, tonight may be as big a game as James has had in his career. Sounds crazy but if they can get past the Pacers and go on to win another championship, Lebron is well on his way to cementing his legacy. Lose and go on to drop this series, it will constantly be argued that he doesn't deserve to be discussed in the same breath as Jordan or Kobe, Russell etc.
