Cavalier Kid: Lebron James Quiets the Wizards in Game 1

With the 2008 NBA Playoffs officially underway, the Western Conference proved its toughness early on with heroic performances (Yes Tim, Pau and Chris, I'm talking about you), but not many have been keeping an eye out East.

Probably because the Celtics (66-16) battle the Hawks and will probably end in a sweep. Or it could be because the Cavaliers face the Wizards, a first-round series that NBA fans have seen for the past three seasons. Going into this series, the big stories were Gil coming back from injury and...DeShawn Stevenson?

“He’s overrated. And you can say I said that.” quotes the 6'5" shooting guard.

LeBron James? Overrated?

Lebron James proved to be unfazed by such comments. "It's almost like Jay-Z saying something bad about Soulja Boy. There's no comparison."

King James averaged 30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 7.2 APG during the regular season. If this is considered overrated by Stevenson's criteria, I would love to see a player worth talking about.

LeBron is indeed worth talking about, just ask DeShawn. In the game one matchup, LeBron dropped 32 points and grabbed six boards. After game one, LeBron was asked about Stevenson's comments.

"93-86," he said, "is the only words I need to say."
