| Lebron James looked emotionless and completely out of it during Game 4 |
Now fast forward to Game 4 of the NBA Finals @ Dallas. Lebron James the leader of the "Big Three" in Miami, and it has happened again. In Game 1 of the NBA Finals James scored 24 points going 9-16 and making a big three at the end of the 3rd quarter. He and Dwayne Wade helped lead the Miami Heat to a 92-84 victory against the Dallas Mavericks. Since then his numbers have dropped going from 20 points in Game 2, to 17 points in Game 3, and then finally the game we all are talking about now, scoring 8 points in Game 4. In Game 4 he played with no fire, he watched as Dwayne Wade took over the team, as he stood on the side with no emotion. Now fans are left with the question, is this happening again, is something wrong with Lebron, and if so what?
Looking back on Game 4, even the non sports fan can tell Lebron was not into it mentally. ESPN reporter Stephen A. Smith tweeted that James, has been dealing with "personal problems" for years. He also said that this is only coming up because of Lebrons worst performance of his entire life. His performance had nothing to do with Dwayne Wade, it had nothing to do with Erik Spoelstra or the Dallas defense. Lebron James had a terrible game, one that will be remembered until he wakes up and starts leading the team late in the game. Lebron James will bounce back from his 8 point embarrassment, and I think he will do it tonight in Game 5. He doesn't even have to score 30 points or record a triple double. He is a floor general if he can help lead his team late in the game to a win. If James can do that, I have no doubt in my mind that Lebron James will wake up tonight, and help Miami take a 3-2 series lead.
I am a believer that every pro athlete has a bad game. Whether Lebron is having personal problems or not it is really none of our business unless he makes them public.
ReplyDeleteAs a sports writer myself I try and portray the positive side of all pro athletes. Lets try and keep King James in the positive light at the end of all our rainbows!
When we speculate about rumors or tweet what we think is his problem we only add fuel to the negative media in today's society.
WOW, what an incredibly negative and poorly proofread article. First off, please review your grammar/punctuation before posting, and second why so negative all the time? LeBron didnt quit he had a bad game, his shots weren't falling early so he let Wad and Bosh, who had established hot streaks, take over while he focused on defense and creating open looks for them. Did he have a bad game? yes. Did he quit on the team now or last year? no. Kudos to you for having a relevantly timed article, it would have been nice if you had helped promote interest in sports rather than discourage fans from wanting to watch.

How did I discourage them from watching. I said he was going to paly much better tonight, which is saying people should watch the game
ReplyDeleteAlso I never said he quit. I said he didnt show any emotion or fire in Game 4. Which watching it over again you saw him on the sides of the court as Wade would handle the ball and get double teamed. I know Lebron is a great player, he is the leader and floor general of the team. But you are free for your opinion
