James did the right thing in the 4th quarter. He got out of D-Wade's way.
The reporters intent was to hammer home that Wade is the Heat's best player...not LeBron.
The reporter was not wrong. He got LeBron to say he was turning it over to D-Wade(which has been the winning formula). LeBron handled the question well saying "well, i am doing something...those things that don't show up in the box score" and he may be right...but the greats like Jordan, Bird, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, and now apparently Wade are doing both the things that show up in the box score and don't show up in the box score, and the things that win the game at crunch time. Bron, not so much in these finals.
James is having a Pippen finals. Which is very good, but nobody ever tried to sell Pippen as an equal to MJ.

The question the reporter asked was stupid. Lebron had a good game and in the end wade was hot and closed it simple as that. The amount of hate for Lebron is comical anymore.

Reporter, and he was just trying to get a rise out of Bron.
LeBron goes to play with Wade (On Wade's team). Aside from teaming up with a top 5 player, he also teams up with another All-Star caliber player. People try and tout this guy as the best player in the World, and also give ridiculous Jordan comparisions. In the NBA Finals he differs to Wade? In the biggest series of his life? and just like he defered to Kobe and Wade in the Gold Medal game...
By the way I think Bron will make sure to get his shot up in game 4.

LeBron is playing lock down D setting every1 up. He is playing the game exactly the way he should be playing it. He can score at will and when it is needed he will definitely be there to do that also.

I consider Lebron to be the better all around player, even much better player, than Wade, who is by all means a superstar himself. But I consider Wade more clutch and a possibly a better leader. And I am a Wade fan, about 148X more than Lebron.

Wade has a title so I could definitely see how u can call him more clutch. Wade was GREAT in the finals against Dallas in 06 and has been very good in this years finals as well. Wade is definitely the more out spoken leader thats for sure.

ha ha, Pippen played lock down d, and facilitated the offense very well also.
I think Kings saying Bron has Pippen IN THE FINALS is dead on. And thats only a knock if someone is trying to say Bron is Jordanesque, which, lets be real, surely has not happened yet. What also has not happened in this finals Tim, is Bron scoring at will. Cause that has not been the case in the finals either, especially in these 4th quarters.
But to be fair, Bron was very dominant in the previous series, AND this series is not over yet.

And the Reporter was dead on. That is exactly the type of question that should be asked. And it sure seemed like Wade would agree with the reporter as well.

That reporter was just trying to get his name in the news by asking a question that could be asked but not the way he worded it.

Sorry Tim, you're right. After LeBron's amazing 8 points, 7 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 turnovers on 3-11 FG..and his houdini act in the 4th quarter in a game where the Heat were "laying it all on the line" he is not Scottie Pippen to Wade's MJ tonight...

Wade lost the ball, but it was a 3 just to tie, not exactly as easy situation. He also played well the whole game, hard to put the blame on him.
