Quotable:

“LeBron was amazing, great, the best player in the planet. But he was very, very far from perfect. Oh so very far.

Do you focus on what he gave you? The best post play of his career in a big game, 44/12/7 on 58 percent TS against the best defense in the league? A game-tying play with four seconds left to play? Almost every point in overtime? Two threes in the extra period, one of them of a ridiculous fashion to keep the team in the game? If you Believe, there’s plenty for you. But if you’re brainwashed, if you’re determined to find fault, if you need to buy into the idea that LeBron and Kobe is what’s being decided right now, if every play is revealing his character, there’s plenty for you guys, too.

Turnovers, too many turnovers, down the stretch. Going for the dagger jumper on the final full Cavs possession.Missing one of two free throws the possession before. If Hedo takes the clock down on the final possession and makes a shot with time expiring, this is an unforgivable choke. But he didn’t. And it wasn’t. Same game, different story. If he’d made that final ridiculous 35-footer, and it had a chance, he’s got. But he didn’t. And he’s not. This is LeBron. This is Water. This is Water. This is Water. Greatness, unbelievable greatness, unprecedented greatness, but there are questions. There will always be questions. There is an argument to be made, with facts, against LeBron. Glen Beck has enough facts to fill an hour a day with his arguments. It’ll still be wrong. But the argument exists.” – John Krolik
