LeBron James: A Overhyped, Drama Queen

Basketball season as we all know, isn't for a while, but I wanted to get my thoughts on LeBron out now.

Let me give you some info on "the King.” LeBron James has averaged 30 PPG in 2008, and 27.3 PPG in his career, in addition to go with that 7.8 RPG and 7.6 APG last year.He was last year's NBA All-Star Game MVP and Scoring Champion. Pretty good stats, eh?At 24-years-old, he has already accomplished what people only dream of. Known around the world as one of the most versatile and explosive players in the game, LeBron, in many people's minds, is better than Jordan, Rusell, Magic, and Bird.

But you see, that’s the problem. To be honest, like Deshawn Stevenson and many of my colleagues think, I think he is an overrated, camera-hogging, whining punk—not to mention traveling five miles every time he touches the ball.

Now, before you write comments on my story about how you think I'm a tool, just listen to my point of view.

The 2008 playoffs against the Washington Wizards must have been one of the most controversial, hard-fouling, competitive series in my mind."There's been some extracurricular activities going on outside and inside this series," James said, "but I've been able to stay focused." Let's go back to Game Four at Washington. LeBron’s drive to the hole: yes, he gets fouled. span
