Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2744124, member: 488"] It's not an indictment on LeBron in a general sense, but if we're trying to fit him for the title of greatest player ever, you have to be ruthless. With Thompson and Curry struggling, that was a winnable game. The counting numbers are going to be somewhat inflated by the fact that he plays an unprecedented amount of minutes (though that's exactly what makes it so impressive). Perhaps he was simply worn down. Maybe he was hurting. Either way, there was some meat left on the bone. It doesn't really influence my take big picture, but if I'm going to tout the merits of LeBron as the greatest basketball player I've ever seen, I have to be fair and concede that last night isn't going on page one of the bio. Nothing more, nothing less. [/QUOTE]
