Disgusted with How Lebron James Is Playing Lately .

Although he had a triple double performance of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists after his worst performance in game four, I expected an aggressive Lebron James in the recently -concluded Game 5 of the series- What I saw is a sluggish Lebron James which made me blaming him for their recent loss. I just hope he could display his old form come Sunday night Game 6 and contribute strongly to the team because the fans expected much of him as for Chris Bosh. It's not only a Dwayne Wade show.

I am not a Miami Heat or LeBron James fan. I love basketball but I do not like players are arrogant,selfish and complainers! LeBron James is all of that! I hope the Dallas Mavericks win the championship and put Miami in their place! Go Dallas!

blue65packer I understand what you're feeling towards him but let's just be a fair basketball fan. I admit I also hate players who are like that but it's just part of the game, players are part of it and we should accept it, whatever they are.

I agree with you that even though he got a triple double, that triple double line is probably the worst triple double in history! He appears to be afraid of making a decision and is passing even when he is open to make a shot. The good thing is his teammates are making the shots. he has to make a decision on whether he wants to be a facilitator or an aggressive scorer and let wade and bosh know his role. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are waiting for him to act. Wade is left all by himself to carry all the scoring load. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Miami trades LeBron before the next season for role players (an ace point guard and a center) to support wade and Chris Bosh. I'm a Heat fan but its heartbreaking to see someone with so much athletic ability not have the heart of a champion like Dwayne Wade and Dirk Nowitzki. Even though I'm a Heat fan, I'm a basketball fan first and as such I would like to see Dirk and Jason Kidd lift the Larry O'brien trophy as much as anyone, but not this way.

a triple-double performance is absolutely nothing in a loss like that. If they are unable to bestow Miami the championship this season, I also have the same notion as yours about him being traded to another team, otherwise.

Skip Bayless is right. LeBron is a Prince, not a King. He's a Robin and not a Batman. The pressure is just too much for him. He doesn't have the mental toughness and the killer will that Jordan and Bird and Magic and even Wade have. He's probably the most physically gifted player ever but he lacks the intangibles to be great when it really matters. I thought that playing with Wade would change that but Wade's mental toughness hasn't rubbed off on LeBron. LeBron's right. It's now or never but it's looking more and more like it's going to be never.

yeah you're right. I wish he could effectively accomplish anything what he's saying the next time. He just lacks the mental intensity and firepower as what is expected of him, He got the talent but he still needs more motivation especially on using his size and power to efficiently contribute to his team. It's still not too late for him to show what he really have in his arsenal.

LBJ proved to the world that he is not a close-out player unlike d-wade and dirk. Another thing i noticed about him is his average basketball IQ. he relies mostly on his physical ability and jump shooting during clutch. he makes fancy layups most of the times and has no idea what the layup is for... just look at terry and dirk. For me, he is just another excellent scorer in the game. not a closer, not a finisher, not a guy you want t have the ball at the last second and certainly not a go-to-guy. TnT analyst were right that LeBron should be the 3rd option and not the 1st or 2nd option on this miami team. he just played like a 6'8" mario chalmers in this series.
