The King No More

The "king" Lebron James, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, were ousted from the NBA playoffs by Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic last night.

So The King is no longer The King. Dwight Howard or Kobe Bryant can claim that title depending on who wins the NBA Finals.

It's interesting how everyone thinks Lebron is a basketball God, but the same people are the first to slam him and the Cavaliers since they were knocked out of the playoffs.

Now the talk is how Lebron will be traded, how he can't win a title in Cleveland, and how the Cavaliers, if they are going to keep Lebron better get some better players to support him.

Fact is, they have the players to support him, just not quite good enough. Mo Williams, he's fine, I have no problem with him. Gibson sat the bench a lot in the Magic series and he's a star just waiting to blossom. Varejo is a waste of money for the Cavaliers. He doesn't play defense, instead falls to the ground on every little bump he takes trying to draw a foul, but instead the person he's defending scored easily every time. The Cavs, in order to bring Lebron a NBA title need to trade Gibson and Varejo away and get another top tier player. I'd love to see Michael Redd return to Ohio. He's the star for the Milwaukee Bucks, but he's an Ohio State star and one helluva player. Team him up with Lebron and a title would come to Cleveland.
