There's always people who will hate and are jealous of others successes. As for LeBron having a body similar to Karl Malone, first off LeBron is 24 years old, not 18. If AntAltMike followed the kid throughout his career, he would also know LeBron wasn't always as cut as he is now. He came into the league 6 years ago and was much leaner than he is now. Secondly, the NBA has anti-doping testing. If he was doing the unthinkable, he would've been exposed like all the baseball players by now. 3rdly, as Salsa said, LBJ is simply a freak of nature. We've never seen this type of athleticism in sports. The dude has been blessed. I've followed his career here in Ohio since his freshman year at St. Vincent St. Mary in Akron. In his Junior year at High School he was on the cover of SI along with the title: "The Chosen One". He's a blessed kid with God given abilities. Period. End of discussion. Show some respect, instead of spewing more hate next time you open your mouth Mike!

You are 1,000,000% correct!!!

LeBron was MUCH leaner when he came into the league six years ago.

I just wish I put that in MY response. My bad.

I was just so exasperated by the accusation, I wasn't thinking straight.

HD,

you're right about something else too.

SOME people are so jealous, they wouldn't know TRUE talent if it bit them in the arse!

You're right.

I shouldn't have dignified that accusation with a response.


Sorry

In his Junior year at High School he was on the cover of SI along with the title: "The Chosen One". He's a blessed kid with God given abilities.

One of those abilities- overcoming the S.I. jinx.

D. Wade was not as good...but I will take his stats any night AND a win against Orlando.

Points: 27
Rebounds: 8
Assists: 8
Steals:1
Blocks:1

BUT, the emergence of Mario Chalmers is HUGE and is starting to get attention around the league for the rookie.

Points: 20
Rebounds: 2
Assists: 8
Steals: 3
Turnovers: 0

Miami is officially a million miles better than last year.

I guess D-Wade really is that important to the Heat.

Well...last year was a complete melt down of the franchise. IF they can land a big man....watch out! but then again, you can say that about almost ANY team from AAU to the NBA....LOL!

Halftime: Celtics 74, Mavericks 47


I guess the mini-slump is over!
