CONFUSED, USA — Everybody and their baby’s momma watched LeBron drag another unworthy team to the Finals this past year. The storyline was the same. “He’s losing in the Finals because he’s got a bunch of cats that aren’t worthy of being in the Finals trying to beat potentially the best team ever. He’s got duns like JR Smith that are crazy unpredictable that will literally do anything in the most critical of situations.”
And guess what playa? He did! Ole boy literally didn’t know that score was tied with 4.5 seconds left to play in Game 1 and took the darn ball out to the perimeter after getting the rebound. It was a stunt that literally changed the series before it even got started. That’s the type of foolishness that LeBron can’t afford to have happen in the Finals as he’s trying to build on his legacy.
So why in the world are the Lakers continuing to build a team around him with multiple JR Smith’s? As soon as they signed him they ran out and got the most unpredictable player in the darn league in Lance Stephenson. The only place that could tolerate and keep him in check was Indiana. He was a freakin’ train wreck everywhere else. He betted on himself in Charlotte and they got rid of him within months. The Clippers, Grizzlies, Pelicans and Timberwolves all got rid of him within a three year time frame because he was out of control.
Then they went out and got Rajon Rondo who is his own worst enemy. The dun has butted heads with every coach he’s ever had starting with Doug Bibby who coached him in high school. His basketball IQ is so high that he constantly gets into arguments with the guy running the team because he thinks that he knows more than they do. So what do you think he’s going to do with Luke Walton bruh?
Sure, LeBron’s probably got the highest basketball IQ we’ve ever seen but do you really think that Rondo is going to back down in the heat of the moment if he thinks that he’s right? That’s a problem already and it’s July.
Just this past weekend they’ve reached an agreement with Michael Beasley who has never lived up to his potential because of the constant problems with marijuana and other off the court issues. Now everybody says that the dun has changed but what does Beasley bring to the Lakers that’s dependable for LeBron to hold on to? Will he make the team better if he’s still not reaching his potential for whatever reason? And yes, I realize that LeBron played with ole boy in Miami so they’ve got history.
Again, we’re looking at another LeBron led team that has a bunch of cats around him that could pull a JR Smith in a heartbeat. How is LeBron better in the playoffs with these cats than he was with Cleveland? Either Magic or LeBron knows voodoo or some Jedi mind tricks that will keep all of these dudes in check or they’re in a world of trouble when it gets thick down the stretch in the playoffs. And yes playa, they’ll make the playoffs and more than likely the Western Conference Finals simply because they’ve got LeBron.
However, the JR Smith’s they have will keep them from getting to the Finals because it’s Cleveland all over again. I know that Magic is calling the shots but I have to keep saying it, “LeBron is a great player but he’s a terrible GM.” It’s looks like Erving is listening to LeBron while he’s making these decisions and that’s not good. Stop me when I start lyin’!
