Is LeBron James

Mentally Tough enough to LEAD a team to a championship?

I say no...I saw that same "Deer In The Head Light Look" in the Chicago game that I saw on him when he played Boston LAST YEAR. I know that he is a smart guy but that has nothing to do with being mentally tough/focused/committed to WILL something to happen. If Miami is going to win a Championship, Dwayne Wade had better be the Leader, if that team take on LeBron's personality they will panic.

Talking about Mentally Weak: Pau Gasol! His "Girlfriend" slept with one of his team mates and threw the whole team in disarray! They could not come together to win a Championship and deal with the "cheating" after.

    I think people underestimate him. He wasn't supposed to be able to handle the heat of the Boston series and he single handedly dismantled them. One game is just one game. We'll see how the rest of the series goes.

    He can't lead a team to a championship or he would have in Cleveland. That being said, he can certainly play second fiddle to D Wade or even Bosh at times. Will they win? I think so. You can't keep that much talent down for 7 games.

    They may win..but I think I'll cheer for Chicago. But honestly, Cleveland was/IS a D-League team, that is clear by their performance this year without him. He did a SUPER job when he was there. But he was kinda young when he lead Cleveland to the Finals; he was kinda fearless. I think he is a different person now, the fearlessness of youth is gone, he now has the wisdom of age and experience and he is thinking too much on the Court instead of just playing.

    I agree, Cleveland was a D-League team. I think the expectations were so high on him that people expected him to make everyone around him better much like Jordan did with Pippen/Rodman/Kerr/Paxson. He's not that type of player though. He's great but not transcendent like stars of the past.

    I am a Miami fan and Lebron is not the only person on the team LOL :wink:

    Do I like Chicago well I think they have an awesome team and they are playing tough (NOW) but have you seen who was giving them trouble? Come on... Go Heat!

    Good luck to both teams but you know who this girl is going for!
