Thing is, LBJ flat out says he doesn't like playing from the post, so I'd guess he's resistant to any and all pleas/requests to do it.

My justification is this:

LeBron is an athletic freak who completely runs the show in CLE, we all know that. However, LeBron, though even dominant now, is not being properly used. LeBron relies on athleticism to create shots for himself and his teammates, but also has a tremendous handle, vision, and streaky jump shooting.

LeBron should not be a distributor, at the core of his game and skill set, he should be a finisher. He needs a Nash, a Billups, a Paul, a Kidd.

Kobe, on the other hand, helps his team the most as a distributor first, as you can see with his cerebral dissection of Denver tonight. The mere threat of Kobe opens things up, and he conserves energy to close by deferring and doing more coaching than the Zen Master himself.

Essentially, I want Kobe and the Lakers to expose the mishandling of LeBron's talent, a problem I blame Mike Brown for. While LeBron can distribute effectively, he was made to finish plays. LeBron needs an effective PG to get him the ball in easy places to score… LeBron could play like Malone if he had a Stockton.. and could be even more effective.

Just look at the Redeem Team… LeBron was pretty much the third option on offense, playing PF. And it worked to deadly perfection.

I also agree with Brian's sentiment concerning LeBron's 100% success rate when posting. The dude should be in the paint, like, all the time.

In conclusion, screw Mike Brown and his “give LeBron the ball at the top of the key” offense. LeBron is too great of a specimen to be forced to play a role he is not ideally suited to play. Perhaps, however, LeBron believes he is a guard in a forward's body…

and in Game 7 Cleveland only scored 68 points in Detroit which was the last time Detroit PWND Cleveland.

in the media, LeBron is never the underdog. It's absolutely ridiculous to see all the LeBron and Kobe commercials during this round of the playoffs, and then ESPN running a show called “The Dream Season” where they show highlights of LeBron and Kobe from the end of the medal run until now…

it's a bullshit media circus, and it's backfiring (thankfully) on the NBA and ESPN.

Cavs were up 3-1 on the Pistons in 2006 under similar underdoggy situations such as this, and then lost the series. It's all I got.
