If last nights basketball game was any indication that Lebron James isn't the best player and leader in the league, well somebody please shoot me in the foot. There is no doubt that LBJ is probably the most dominant player in the league. I mean after all he did win MVP honors. But the kind of showmanship he displayed last night shows that this guy has alot of growing to do. There is something about a player that can be both a gracious winner and a gracious loser. After losing last nights game, Lebron left the court immediately without even congratuating Dwight Howard and his team nor did he even do the media press. There is no denying that the Magic deserves to be in the finals. Eric Snow stated that a true leader has to show that kind of grace and acceptance. Last year when the Lakers lost to the Celtics, Kobe congratulated the opposing team and he did the media press after the game. I admit that in the past I was a Kobe Hater. But in recent years, especially after his personal woes, he has emerged to be the best player in the NBA and I think the reason for that is not only for his skills on the court but it's also how you conduct yourself off the court that makes you a true leader. It's about Humilty. I'm looking forward to this years finals. Forget about Kobe vs. Lebron. It's not a one on one game, it's a team effort and anyway, I would rather see Superman play than the King.
