The LeBrondown - Part II

Great article and yes, I'm looking forward to Grantland. Simmons wrote and article a few months ago trying to categorize players by one word legacies - Russell's legacy was winning, Chamberlain's was statistics, LeBron's was to amaze.

I thought he summed it up perfectly.

LeBron has shown no wilingness or ability, at this point in his career, to compete. He will dominate other teams but that is a different skill to competing. I think he is possibly the most dominant basketball player ever to play the game - awesome physically, incredibly broad skill set, exciting, etc, etc, but I'm not sure he has ever learnt to compete.

In this series he has been contained by, among others, a 37 year-old, 6'4 white guy! Spoelstra is being out-coached but I have to think Pat Riley has had many many moments when he must have thought 'I got the wrong guy' (Bosh can only ever have been a part of the package).

Who'd have thought Mark Cuban would be the guy to set the tone for humility in this series!
