Lebron Hype

Let the Lebron hype continue now to even higher proportions. One of the greatest shots in NBA history? Be serious. The torch passed from Michael? C'mon. A player hit a three-pointer to win the game. It happens every week. Oh wait, it was Lebron. So now we have to make it bigger because he has to be Jordan one day. This makes me sick.
Jordan earned everything. When you watched Michael you just knew he was going to win. When I watch Lebron I just count all the calls that go his way. It really is disgusting. He puts his head down and blasts into everyone between him and the basket. Then regardless of the defensive player positioning or who initiates the contact, the whistle blows and Lebron goes to the line.
I don't completely blame Lebron though. The NBA has become the WWE or whatever wrestling is calling itself now a days. It's simply good for business for the NBA to rig their series and chose their match-ups. The sad thing is that I love basketball, and after nearly every game I feel like the refs determined the outcome of the game. When I say that, I mean by making calls that obviously fall to side of the winning team. Then afterwards on ESPN or any other sports channel we here "that's just the way it is" or "those calls are hard to make."

Case and point: 4th quarter last night. "The King" is chucking up one of his miserable 3 point attempts he is blocked from behind by Howard who has 5, mostly suspect, fouls. At no point does Dwight even graze Lebron, but it's so embarrassing that the ref calls the foul and bye-bye Dwight. THEN! THEN! They review the play to make sure Lebron was behind the line and got all his shots. Now I believe that they can't change a foul call after they review it (stupid) but they should be able to if they can review other close calls.
