OK, I'm still a fan, but after watching the playoffs against the Mavs (Congratulations to Dallas on the win!), I'm thinking LeBron has earned himself a new nickname. For a player as dominant as LeBron James, there's no excuse to only step up to the line four times in a game (Or two times as was the case in game 5). If you have fouls to give when the game is on the line, then you're leaving too much hustle on the floor.
A basketball player's only job is to get the ball to the basket. At 6' 8" 250lbs, James is a freight train when he attacks the basket. People either get out of the way, or get run over and if you run over them more than once, they'll start getting out of the way. If they don't, oh well, that's why you get six fouls to give.
More than lack of drive towards the basket though, if you watched the games you would see James hanging out at the 3/4 court line repeatedly. No off-ball movement whatsoever. None. If he were in the paint he would have had a three second violation called against him every time.
Enough of my ranting, I'm hoping that they have a better season next year.
