He uses that headband to hide his fucked up hairline.
Nope.

And statistically, he is a better shooter, just not as good in the clutch. Until now (maybe). He has really become the beast everyone thought he could be when he entered the league. Agree with you on his post-up game. Wow.
He is a better closer then Lebron but Lebron is a better defender and rebounder.

i love how lebron said something to the effect of doing it by himself even though he joined forces with wade and bosh to win.

I am from Ohio and routinely used to watch Lebron play in HS and AAU games. During one AAU game he didn't touch the ball on the offensive end about 5 possessions in a row. He got a defensive rebound, dribbled to half court, and threw up a shot from half court to show his teammates and coach his frustration.....on THAT basis.

Don't hold it against them-I didn't, even then. To this day, I still like those two guys. Men of this breed truly can't help but be the way they are, and given the sheer amount of praise heaped upon them for most of their lives, it isn't hard to understand why.

Athlone and co - Is this arrogance an American thing? I am not sure if it also carries over to other countries athletes. I bounced up on a few stars in the UK (Linford Christie, John Barnes) but British have a way of limiting how gassed an individual's head is.
America seems to lionize a celebrity's head almost to a level of insanity..so I wonder if it is a cultural thing.

And that's the thing and my main knock at Bron. Its normal for these athletes to be cocky and full-headed. You have to be borderline nutty to put in the amount of hours of practice and training to become an elite athlete. What my beef with Bron is is that he is PC with it and plays it down to appease the media. Kobe does not, nether did MJ they would shit and lash out at people in public and on the court. Nobody accused them of being controlling or freaks just competitors and leaders.
