I've now watched LeBron more than I have at any time in his career this season. I have a better appreciation for his game. Outstanding decision making with the ball in his hands. When he decides to get to the rim nobody can stop him. He's a freak (size, speed, skill).
I can also see even more clearly that he is no MJ or Kobe or even Bird. He does not have their killer instinct. He is not clutch. He is afraid to take the final shot. He takes pull-up jumpers and fade aways way too often in crunch time, when he should be getting to the rim. And his free throw shooting sucks.
I still hate having to root for him, but I like his game more now than I did a year ago.
