I don't want to be "that guy" but his defense on Pau Gasol earlier in the season was impressive. I know Pau's soft and all but still, it's amazing how he had no motivation to do that more in Cleveland, every time he got the ball on the block and played bully ball I just recall Charles Barkley repeatedly saying during our playoff run that "LeBron needs to get easier shots, figure out ways to work less". It's a bit of a painful reminder that if he actually recruited a damn he'd have better teammates, and thus have the energy to shut down any 1-4's in the playoffs (like he did against Rose).
Meh, I'm over it. He's a great player and I wish him the worst but I'm not going to look back when we should be looking forward. Despite what LeBron thinks, not all rings are made equal.
In one of my favorite movies of all time, Cool Runnings, John Candy says, "A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you aren't enough without it, you'll never be enough with it."
Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing were enough without. So were KG and Jason Kidd, even though they eventually got one. #6 was enough without one, but he didn't believe so.
