or: But that doesn’t mean that you should, too, LeBron, especially when you’re basically at the rim with some wireframed defender a step behind, and yeah, maybe he’s blocked some people before, but those were weak ass lay-ups and not power dunks of which you are more than capable of throwing down, especially when you have a step on said defender and the help defender is not going to be in a position to do anything but foul you

Brett Edwards said it first: LeBron James, You Need to Take That Shot

LeBron, you’re really the only person I still like in this playoffs (sorry former Illini Dawan Williams, I can’t like you cause you not only play for the Jazz, but also are teammates with Carlos Boozer). LeBron, I tried, but I can’t quit you. So LeBron, if TayTay is stuck to you like a blanket after a wet dream, then I will understand throwing the rock to Donnybrook. Or maybe if that was Damon Jones over there with his gold sunglasses on, then you throw the ball to him. Or if Robert Horry is on your team, you can pass to him too. But even that is questionable when you are in position to throw down a two-handed slam. You’ve made harder shots in last year’s playoffs, why stop now?

There’s a reason this blog is called GIVE ME THE ROCK, and I know you’ve said it before. You’re not getting lottery picks any time soon (that I know of), so keep saying it, and then play like you mean it. For me and for the 99% of the US that doesn’t live in Detroit, San Antonio, and/or Utah.
