Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Is LeBron actually overrated? Probably not seeing as it might not be possible to overrate a man-child with the skillz that he possesses. However, I will say this: It makes it a lot easier to be good at basketball when the rules do not apply to you.
(Video H/T to my other blog, Mr. Irrelevant. I think I may have just broken some sort of blogging rules of conduct by linking back to something my brother wrote. Whatever, it's Friday. Cut me some slack.)

This is so true!!! Lebron sucks but everyone thinks he’s the best!!! The guy can’t even make a jump shot!!! The best player in the NBA is Kobe no doubt about it!!!

You know what is funny about this hole over-rated thing? Stevenstien is just jealous of Lebron and is a talentless jerk. If he was a real man, he would shut his mouth and find ways to stop Lebron from punking his a$$ each night. The Wizards sucks! Lebron has proven himself time and time again. If you a true b-ball fan then there is no way that you can’t appreciate Lebron’s talents. If you are not a Lebron fan, then you are a hater. Hey maybe Lebron will let Stevenstein be in his next commerical

Wow – LeBron is on a team that pretty much sucks and he carries the team by himself to the finals last year – and doing well round 1 (3-1 after today).
Yeah he sucks. He’s awful.
And as for the “rules dont apply” ….. yawn. What ever dude.
On any play in the NFL you can re-run the play and find a holding call that didn’t get called…. on any night in the NBA there are DOZENS of bad calls. It happens… get over it.
Hate hate hate. Thats pretty sad.

you couldn’t POSSIBLY think that lebron is overrated!! if that’s true, then gilbert arenas flat-out sux since he can’t play thru injury. the kid carries the team (we all know why) and even though teams game-plan to defend AGAINST lebron (make-the-rest-of-the-team-beat-you concept sound familiar?), he still gets his! so, this one guy just pwned a whole team that tried to cover him!! he can’t be 5 places at once, there are laws against that, but THE KID GETS HIS!!!:o didn’t say he was the ‘best player in the game’, however…he’s definitely not overrated.
