Cavs vs Magic Game 6 - Was LeBron James Tired? Jalen Rose discusses on ESPN

[Zeke4TV]

Lebon James is not mentally tough.He only relies on his physical gifts,he didn't work on his basketball skills.Low Post Game,Mid range.He has failed numerous times in the playoffs,not just 2011 Finals,but throughout his career.He scored 2 points in this Game 6 against Magic.Lebron couldve been one of the greats

[CristianoDanaldo]

He quit.

[BlackButterfly108]

excuses excuses

[jujurawks]

Cavs strategy 4 mins left in 4th quarter; playoff basketball...

High Screen Roll for Bron

Iso at Top of 3point Line for Bron

While the rest of team is in specator mode.

He will drive in for a layup/dunk while trying to draw a foul.

His mid range game is not developed yet and even if you foul him, he is not clutch from the free throw line.

Lebron is a great fantasy basketball player if you want the numbers but when it comes to Real Basketball, i'd rather give it to Kobe...

[BlazzeDJB7]

People need to stop giving them so much credit for beating a 8th seeded detriot who lets face it is finished and the hawks who has no one that can not stop him from getting inside like dwight can

[rod2467]

shut up orlando had no buisness in the ecf not a healthy boston team no kg lmao philly lol come on cleveland match-up problems z on dwight wow come on just keep quiet they made it there but did not win so it does matter they aint doing it again thats a fact

[69twine]

why yall didnt say he was tired against the hawks or the pistons.i wish people would stop trying to take up for his losses.if hes going to wear num 23,he needs to live up to it.

[trowabarton321]

which he will never live up to num 23 ever the number should have been retired a long time ago

[antibioticguy]

wtf is fatigue wtf are u talkin about, they play a 45 minutes game in every 2 or 3 games how the fuck can u be fatigue thats bullshit

[FRESHCALLER123]

listen mr big shot when u play 82 + games im sure fatigue kicks in

[Geshien]

Lebron is a specimen at 25.

Guess Kobe was never tired during the playoff's because they made to the finals and won?

Wanted the Magic to win, but if I were to say why one team won and why one team lost, it would be that one team was better than the other. No excuses.

What if's are just that.

Can't really blame it on the horrible officiating either. Several of those games came down to a missed opportunity for the Magic.

Pretty clear the Magic were the better team in ECF. Folks need to cope.

[slayerfan1994]

lebron aint even on his prime and he scored over 28 ppg

[SupremekaiD5]

lebron was by himself just watch the series if the cavs had played good and still lost then i wouldnt excuse lebron but since they lost

[ryp24]

correct me if i'm wrong buh this cavs team had the BEST record in the season. 66 wins. they cake walked to the ecf. and if you think lbj did all that by himself then don't even bother responding to my comment.

[SupremekaiD5]

in the regular season and the first 2 rounds of the playoffs he had help but in the efc he had no help he scored 43 percent of the teams points

[ryp24]

cavs/lbj heads has to stop saying he has no help. you don't win 66games and 8-0 in the first two rounds without a great team. try to be objective. try to see through the hype. as great as lbj is, this loss is on him the same way 66wins and 8-0 was credited much to him. orlando was jus the better team in their series.

[SupremekaiD5]

i have been saying this for a very long time what lebron needed was a high scoring center or powerfoward mo williams wasnt the answer no offense to mo he's pretty good he's the best help lebron had in the regular season ive been wanting chrish bosh since last year to join after i saw what pau gasol did for kobe and the lakers chris bosh to me was the answer for lebron and the cavs

[ryp24]

the answer to what? to me, the cavs are already a great team, i mean the team is set up for lbj to be great individually which is both a good and bad thing. buh there is always room to improve the team no doubt, and bosh can definitely make a big difference. give lbj's teammates some slack. i hate it people blame the team for loses and credits lbj for wins.

[SupremekaiD5]

lebron james had no help when playing the magic like i said if he did he would of had less then 43 percent of the teams points mo williams who was suppose to be lebrons back up was scared he was missing three's and inside shots that he would normally make he was even missing free throws and he had the best record of free throws made during the regular season dwight howard did better free throws then williams

[ryp24]

stop blaming on mo. like i said previously, Try to be objective. Try to see through the Hype of ur "king" as great as lbj is, this loss is on him the same way 66wins and 8-0 was credited much to him.

[SupremekaiD5]

of course they credited him he was the only one who wanted to win more then anyone else i am not taking anything away from the magic they played as great game and one yes the loss was on him because he's part of the team but he's not the reason the team lost

[ryp24]

i never said he was the reason they lost. i jus don't like people making excuses for lbj when his team loses its always his team's fault. hell they've crowned him "king" w/o much accomplishment. yep! he sure is perfect.. media did its job, especially on the uneducated so i don't blame you. no offense. right now you might not get what i'm saying coz you're soO into lbj buh hope one day you see things a lil more clearly/objectively.

peace out!

[SupremekaiD5]

his team wasnt stepping their game up all they started doing was giving him the ball all the time he had to play nearly the whole game trying to get his team involved

[ryp24]

that's why the magics are the better TEAM. its the best team in the east vs the best team in the west in the finals.

[slayerfan1994]

ha ha ha okay best team on the eat u see if celtics had KG i think it would of been Cavs vs Celtics and who know who would of won??

[ryp24]

IF only a 25yr old mj played with the celtics. IF only Dwight was never drafted. IF only lebron was a celtic. IF ONLY you realize there are no WHAT IFs, only people in denial look to WHAT IFs as an excuse.. put your right feet forward, then your left.. good! now MOVE ON..

[slayerfan1994]

um what if u shut up i know the world would be a better place!!

and please dont bring ur smart talk to me its youtube not a damn blog

[ryp24]

yup, the world would definitely be better if smart people shut up and let idiots run the place.

[slayerfan1994]

okay im not the one who keeps posting comments on the same video

seriously

get a life

[SupremekaiD5]

they won 66 games cause thier was help but this time there wasnt any if mo williams had just stepped up and not been scared no more the cavs would of won the series yes you can improve the team get bosh and lebron would have good back bosh wont get scared like williams did

[ryp24]

there are no "what ifs" in this game. all that matter is what happened. and what happened is orlando played better than the cavs.

[SupremekaiD5]

i also blame the coaching too mike brown new z and andy couldnt guard dwight howard i would of started wallace and smith instead

[solorock623]

This is to Gjans34 and fromyourztruly. Kobe fucking had an affair on his wife and sexually assualted the "girl" he had sex with. But yeah Kobe has mad respect and class. Go fuck yourself.

[sospecul]

fuck shaking hands lebron need some help from his team mates that's all go lebron

[fromyourztruly]

I FOR ONE here say it now that I HATE the lakers and KOBE ... and i do like lebron better than Kobe...but kobe has more class than Lebron.

After not congratulating his boy Dhoward, how can anyone argue thats not disrespectful..and his EXCUSE WAS PITY-FULLLL!!!

[Jwill8889]

hey definetley deserves MVP it was just that act of bad sportsmanship of not shakin the oposing teams hand in my opinion i tought it was bad sportsmanship but everyone learns from mistakes so this was one of his.

[elbigchile707]

kobe= shakes people hands after the game=great sportsmanship

lebron= after he looses the game walks out like a sore loser, no sportsmanship

[guide2california]

MVP dont mean shit when you dont get the bling just go ask Kobe. LeBron is a sore loser.

[chick5581]

Yasmin did you go with your father After seeing your rainbow hat I really wanted to see his argyle sweater!

[ChompTrax]

how ironic it would've been if bitch james didn't make that buzzer beater in game 2...the Magic could've swept the sweepers. oh well, it don't matter now. Magic in 6 over the Lakers.

[SupremekaiD5]

what lebron james needs is either a high scoring center or power foward then he will get a ring

example oneal,garnett,wallace and duncan all have rings if lebron had shaq that would of been 4 or 5 rings for him

[Packersfan8]

if he had garnett, duncan, or stoudamire it would definitely be a wrap lol

[newagepun]

LOL tell Danny Ferry good luck with that! With a huge 70 million payroll, expect trying to duck out the salary cap too!

[azronz]

lebron bitch james thats his new name he brought it upon himself acting like a little girl millions lost respect all because he didnt act like a man what a bitch!

[thugly921]

fatigue? let the excuses begin...

[LmOnAy]

thugly921- excuses began when orlando stole game 1...Nothing can save lebron on this one, no excuses...

[thugly921]

true, good point.

[aneekenzee]

he's just too selfish....he thinks he's the only player in his team..where is his team? shakehands with magic...lebron? gone.......what a guy.. loser

[cacseven]

Excuses! Excuses! Orlando was the better team! which is why they won! If LeBron had not gotten that lucky 1 second shot in Cleavland they would have gotten swept! LeBron is a sore loser! he did not shake anybody's hand he wlaked off like the whiney brat that he is! He is so used to the media kissing his behind! Dwight Howard was the better man and he proved it! take it like a man LeBron you lost! Ha! Ha! Ha! Basketball is a team effort but Lebron thaught he could do it all his own! Wrong!!!

[shawtylow2]

shut up. dont know shit

[aneekenzee]

what a disappointment.........he's good..very good...im he's no. 1 fun.... but im disappointed...he didnt know what is sports is..what a loser

[Gjans34]

Kobe is no.1 but tell me about it he didnt show any class.

[k001k1dzm4n14]

@cacseven another kobe dickrider, cleveland lost because of poor defense and toughened down offense. when you lose something you do for your life. and your upset as hell, you dont come to the opponent and say good job. let it be. This time of 2010 playoffs, he did greet boston for winning. basketball is definitely a team effort and he didnt do it all by himself. Orlando is the better team, but miami heat is even better.

[cresildust]

No doubt lebron is a complete player, but we must understand that basketball is a team effort wether its defense or offense. LB just need some help

from his team mates and thats pretty obvious.

[sesamebay]

cresildust, you're right. Cav didn't play well as a team. They relied too much on LeBron.

[Jaylgo]

LB has a great team, they just failed against the Magic shooting. Cavaliers were in First place in the regular season, 66 wins. Magic is a very hard team to play, you don't know wether guard Howard or guard the shooters, it confused the shit out of the Cavs and they'll confused the Lakers defense. Magic has to many shooters, and their bench is one of the best I''ve by far in this post season.

[newagepun]

LOL team. What happend to all-star mo williams who can't even push the intensity level on offense? Daniel Gibson gets paid 4 million this year and he's fucking pathetic in the series. Ben wallace is useless. Z would have been a factor if he wasn't just shooting. Oh and Flopejao was completely one dimensional. Don't get me started with the retarded coach Mike Brown. LOL anything else for plays besides get Lebron the ball on each possession?

[kmcru]

LeBron was EXHAUSTED!!!!Like you said pass the ball to LeBron. He can't go 30 seconds on the court without them throwing him the ball. Man was tired and physically GONE you could see it in his eyes. He was like OMG can I get some help. And the sad thing about it is that Ben Wallace a former ring holder and leader is riding on LeBron coat tails he should be ASHAMED!!!!The team needs better players because the CAVS wouldn't be where they are without LeBron!!!

[Xtaurenx]

if his teammates werent good they would not have had the best record in the NBA

[Gman1818]

in the REGULAR SEASON, but in the eastern conference finals they were poop on a stick

[onemorelick]

King James looks like he could walk out on the cavs at any point. Sore loser for sure..thats not a champion people! James is a good player but people over rating him. He had one season that was a little better than Kobes (up until now) and people got him being the next Jordan. Get real!! And now he's a clutch player cause he hit one game winner?! Two in his career?! Come on guys?!!!

[loggy7888]

maybe u should look into more game winners in his career..not the ideas u get out of ur head..he's not gonna walk out on his team..he likes to play and since he got drafted he's been playing the best her can and leading teams to the playoffs so..

"come on!! i even know better about him than u"

[onemorelick]

You really dont cause I think he hit one on Golden state and one on Orlando a few weeks ago. Correct me if Im wrong. Or you may be talking about him just having enough impact on the game for his team to win. But actual "game winning shots" I think just two in the NBA. Do u disagree with the other comments I made? Is he better than Kobe? If so at what point did he become better in your opinion?

[Gjans34]

DOnt u mean PRince james. AFter that choke performance? lol i know lebron is overrated

[benvindo05]

espn are pissed cuz Lebron lost

[treyel]

Kobe has never earned his team a ring. SHAQ DID!!! Remember that!

[WestBeatzMusic]

treyel ,Your stupid,you know nothing about the 3 year championship Lakers run,Kobe was a BIG part! of it!

[benvindo05]

wow, some people are just pissed cuz Lebron is out of the playoffz

[ckondiah]

Wade vs. Lebron vs. Carmello

Wade got a championship and scoring title what the rest got??

Lebron is a great player, but until he wins a championship, we are not in witness of shit. They make him to be the total package, well win a championship by yourself then.

Carmello cannot hit a crutial shot if his life depended on it.

[85CYP]

you sound dumb, no one can win a championship by themselves. Wade had one of the greatest centers to play the game when he won. Carmello isnt going back to western conference finals anytime later, and if u put LEBRON on the LAKERS and KOBE on the CAVS, lebron would be guaranteed a ring.

[ckondiah]

Man get off this nigga nuts, homie,, there is no what ifs in basketball. There is no gurantees until you prove it. Furthermore, go back and replay the 06 series involving the Heat and Mavs, shaq did not do anything, it was on Wade's back. Face it man, if Wade and Lebron was to retire today, when we look back Wade will bethe more accomplished player. Lay off the media Koolaid.

[Jaylgo]

Most people that suck on Lebron's dick have a selective vision. What you wrote is the truth, and most of the people will denied it. They keep saying Lebron is the best, but he's not, Lebron has NO RING. That is good that you keep on reminding people that this happen back in 06 because they forgot. Like I've been replying to them, Heat was losing to the cavs trailing 2 games and double digits in the 4th quarter with about 7 minutes to go. WADE GOT EVERYBODY back in the Game and won the series.

[ckondiah]

Much respect Jaylgo, thans for sharing and agreeing with my view. Jay, one more thing they must of forgot, Wade was a 5th pick, Lebron was the #1 pick.

Treyel,

Don't tell them that, they will nver agree, not to mention, Kobe had the services of the Diesel in his PRIME. Its was Shaq's team not Kobe.

They talk about MJ, Lebron and Kobe, but they forget Bird, Oscar, Wilt, Kareem, Majic and Barkley.

[ryp24]

how bout you look back and see if "Diesel in his PRIME" as you call him could win those 3 rings w/o kobe. its a team game afterall, everybody needs everybody to succeed. kobe and shaq never woulda won w/o there supporting cast.

[loggy7888]

WOW!!!!!! i didnt know getting a ring makes u the best player?!?!!

maybe i should go out and buy a ring maybe that will make me the best player

get ur facts right dumbass if he doesnt have a ring he'll work on getting one just cuz other players have rings doesnt mean there the best..they work hard to get there and when they get there they work harder

[aneekenzee]

ring your face!!!!! are you thinking? that's the dumbest comment i ever read!!!!!!!!!! can you buy a NBA championship ring!!!!!!! dumb asss

[Xtaurenx]

so being the champions means nothing? i respectfully disagree

[loggy7888]

wow appearently you have no clue what sarcastic is..

[Jaylgo]

The ring makes the team the best that year. Again the 2006 Heat cameback after trailing 2 games and was losing to the Mavs double digits in the 4th quater of the 3rd game and WADE got the Heat back in the game and won the next 4 games in a row wining the Finals against the Mavs. For me that determined who was the better basketball player. Neither Lebron or Kobe have done this for their team in the Finals. If those are not FACTS what are the FACTS then.

[dwaynewadesucks]

The only good that comes out of this series is that people were bitching about how Kobe quit on his teammates in the Finals last year. Can we now all say that LeBron quit on his?

[youngtae86]

Damn dude don't hate on Lebron like das yo , but all i have to say is das the Magic is a better team den da Cavs.

[Charlie100]

i hate how da fact they think lebron is now the new best closer and comparing his 1 second shot to jordan...wtf...shooting a one second shot is not clutch...its a prayer. the definition of clutch is kobe and MJ...lebron didnt have to make ne decision about what play to run or nething it was a catch and shoot. not clutch just luck.

[dumpkernel]

no help from teammates of lebron-they were small! west against what lewis? and williams against torkoglu? my oh my

[Hrvoje1313]

no he just sucked

[TypeDoubleR]

HAHAHAH

he really does

[Huesos138]

How the hell does Lebron suck? He is among the 3 best players in the league. If he sucks, what does that say about every other player then? They must really suck...

[Silbermond1Rocks]

didn't you see how the refs were bailing out lebron james on games 1-5 fuck if a guy breathe on james the refs will call a foul right away wtf i bet you the refs told james that they wont bail out his ass on games 6 cuz it would look so obvious, come on i heard of star treatments but to this extreme!! not even dwane wade who the refs love bailing him out too but not to how they bail out lebron on these playoffs, even on defense lebron james gets a free past

[Huesos138]

Yes, the refs are often on Lebron James' side, but that does not mean he sucks. Anyone who claims that Lebron James is a bad player, knows nothing about basketball. I'm not even a big fan, but that is the simple truth.

[Silbermond1Rocks]

you're right he doesn't suck but he stills get's a lot of extra help from the refs

[Huesos138]

Agreed.

[kingnimajames]

Yall need to stop fucking hating

How the hell doees he get help from the refs

yall probably never played basketball before

When yur driving yu can only put one hand on the defender

watch the game tape every drive both the defender guarding him and the help defeder are grabbing him

If u want basketball to be called by the rules every drive on lebron is a ffoul

So stop fucking hate cause yall know lebrons the best pokayer on the planet and yall will never be close to what he is

[HammandClov]

Dude, stop crying. It is common sense that refs do play favorite with the star players. That's why Howard had TWO technical fouls rescinded. That's why Rondo bust Brad Miller in the mouth and threw Heinrich into a table and get no call while Howard threw an elbow and DID NOT get ejected that night but suspended. James is great but the refs do help like they do any star player sometimes. And p.s. you ain't going to be near what he is either.

[Jaylgo]

Lebron might be good but has no class.

[rebjiii]

i agree ...lebron is a COWARDLY JERK for bailing on his team-mates after the game 6 loss in orlando....for lebron to not talk to the press & to storm off like a child, shows what a poor loser lebron is....if lebron want embrace himslef with corporate USA...he needs to be able to better handle adversity than that weak showing.....that would have been expected from iverson or artest or rasheed wallace.

[Charlie100]

heres my theory..lebron needs a dunk to get going. orlando stopped his drives cause honestly the whole game all i saw lebron doing was charging down the middle and trying to force a bail out foul. He has a lot to learn...if he thought he cud just keep tryna get and 1's in the playoffs and win the championship. He shudve learnt from 2007.

[Buttsox]

lebrons buzzer beater...means nothing now...thank god...go magic..turkoglu 2009 finals mvp...celtics 2010 finals champs
