Obama has a plethora of checks and balances and can only make a decision when there is a clear and present danger (See lil Harrison Ford). Oprah is television, Biden is vice president, and Scalia has 8 other people and many other forces acting against him and diminishes his individual power, and Michael Jordan can only do so much.
However, LBJ is young, rich, handsome, powerful, and has done the unprecedented.
To start,
LBJ signed a US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his professional debut....pause and ponder...
$90 million dollars at the age of 18 or so. Mark Cuban famously said that if you were to start counting to 1 billion when you are first born you would never get to a billion in your lifetime. LeBron hopes to reach that billion and started his path to a billion early real early. Not saying he'll get there but 90 million is the lottery. And, it's only gonna get better.
He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2003–04, NBA Most Valuable Player in 2008–09, and has been both All-NBA and an All-Star every season since 2005.
James has also been a member of the USA national team, winning a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics (at the young precious age of 20) and gold at the 2008 Olympics.
Unprecedented history begins to be made...
LeBron's mother did the outrageous when a bank took her son's future earning power into consideration, resulting in an approval of a loan used to buy an $80,000 Hummer H2 for her son's 18th birthday...now that's what's up. You know you are somebody when that happens and can happen. Just think about that. LBJ is more reliable than the stock market, the weather, Bill Belichick, and Google.
Later, LBJ scored 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points, including the team's final 25 points in a double-overtime victory. NBA analyst Marv Albert referred to James's performance as "one of the greatest moments in postseason history."
Then, on February 27, 2008, against the Boston Celtics, James became the youngest person to score 10,000 points in his career at 23 years and 59 days, achieving the feat in style with a slam-dunk over 11-time All-Star Kevin Garnett, eclipsing the old mark by more than a year...by more than a year...a year!
Recently, LBJ nearly scored the first 50-point triple-double since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975, when he recorded 52 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on February 4 effortlessly. He did it without breaking a sweat...a sweat.
Lastly, and probably most noteworthy, LBJ won the coach of the year, but due to current NBA practices had to share the award with figurehead "coach" Mike Brown.
Lebron Jr., LBJ's 4 year old son set up an interview with the chosen one, his papa, a week and a half ago. In this candid interview, LBJ revealed that he actually makes 50 million a year from the team and has General Manager duties as well as Head Coaching duties. He is without a shadow of a doubt the most powerful person in Cleveland and influential player.
To further display the power and influence of LBJ and how LBJ single-handedly won Mike Brown coach of the year, kept Danny Ferry employed, and how LBJ's unparalleled loyalty, see the media.
Media members voted Mike Brown as the coach of the year, despite him doing absolutley nothing to prove that he was indeed a coach or the coach of the year. Mike Brown struggled tremendously with the x's and o's, made zero adjustments, and displayed zero offensive imagination. Mike Brown exemplifies the statement that true madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Stan Van Gundy (SVG) outcoached this guy so badly that he, Brown, probably should have lost his job at halftime particularly in this economic climate. After all, you can't have people employed that are not producing and when there are clear substitutes out there. "Dude is good and turrible."
Let's delve even further into Brown. In a close game, Brown calls a timeout to draw up a play (which is a respectable coaching move), then he draws up a play (which is another respectable coaching move), next the play emerges...LBJ iso with 30 seconds to play (dumb as rocks play). That is to say, he did absolutely nothing. Everyone and their mother knows and can all that play. SVG puts his best player on LBJ and sends help as soon possible. LBJ has to keep driving to the hole in clear traffic, pull up for a jumper, or pass the ball to one of his "great" teammates aka scrubs (that we will get to soon) with shattered confidence while also leaving a plethora of time of the clock for SVG to do work.
Abruptly and quickly Danny Ferry keeps, gets, trades for Wally's World, Big Ben Wallace, and Anderson instead of getting someone like Gerald Wallace.
Please keep in mind that LeBron made the supporting cast look like Duke Basketball All-Americans...and also please do not forget...like Duke Basketball All Americans they were garbage. Ferry is a dead man walking and so is Brown. Brown, pray that you don't become a significantly worst version of Joe Gerardi whom also lost his job after winning manager of the year.
Brown and Ferry, your fate lies in the fate of a 24 year old that happens to be the most powerful man in the United States of America.
Stay classy sporty nation. This is my Minority Report!
Solid story. I agree with the whole Mike Brown being a horrible coach. But I don't completely agree with his supporting cast being so bad. They won 67 games or so with this cast. Mo Williams was significantly better during the season than during the playoffs. Although Mo should not be any team's #2, he still choked in the playoffs (He should be the third best player on a team). Varejao, Gibson, Illgauskas, Pavlovic, West are all pretty good role players who all did not play up to par except for West. This team may not have been star-laden but it had a strong supporting cast. The Cavs lost because of a combination of players who choked and Mike Brown having one of the worst coaching performances in history. Look at the Lakers: they sent so many different looks at Howard, fouled him hard when needed (Cavs didn't figure that out until game 2 or 3). Plus, like you said, their end of game clutch play is the LBJ iso. Mike Brown needs to be fired. Maybe the Cavs should go for Hedo.
ReplyDelete(PS Have you ever thought about whether NBA players use steroids? How does LBJ weigh 270 pounds and move as fast as Tony Parker? The NBA steroids policy is lenient compared to other sports. NBA players are all freakish athletes now. Just a thought. I hope it's not true and LBJ is just a gifted freak athlete)
