Actually, I only brought up those points because there were a number of posters who seemed very negative towards LeBron and I wanted to know why. I know it's the popular opinion to hate James, so I was wondering if it was the typical "I don't like LeBron because the sports writers told me I shouldn't".

Lebron in Game 6 vs the Celtics was nothing like Kobe in game 7. Lebron gave up in that game, Kobe had a bad game but was still busting his ass. Lebron was playing the last game of his contract against a Boston defense that was beating him up, and he gave up.

How can you even make that comparison, James put up 27 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists. Kobe had 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 2 assists (on 25% shooting). Where did LeBron supposedly "quit"? The only reason you believe that is because that is what Dan Gilbert (Cleveland GM) claimed after LeBron left.
The Cavaliers should count themselves lucky that they even got to play the Celtics in the playoffs. One player should not be expected to have a triple-double every night. If Kobe can have a bad night, why can't LeBron?
Because without LeBron playing at the highest level in the game, that team couldn't win. It's clear to everyone now that he was the reason they were so successful. Even the Jordan-less Bulls in 93-94 were able to achieve 55 wins and make the second round of the playoffs.
