So, as soon as i turn on ESPN this morning, all they can talk about is how Lebron screwed the pooch last night by dishing it out to Donnell Marshall and what a huge mistake that was. To that I say NAY. Lebron drove the lane in a game in which his team was down by two and passed it out to a wide open Marshall behind the arc and went for the win. It's not Lebron's fault that Marshall missed a three in which he was so wide open that i ate 4 chicken wings in the time before anyone got near him.
Also, let's look at the other possibilities of what might have happened.
1. Lebron passes it off to Marshall and Marshall makes it, cavs win! Lebron is hailed by the media as the superior unselfish player who made a great decision and won his team the game.
2. Lebron drives the lane, being double teamed and misses the shot, Cavs lose and Lebron is criticized by the media for being too selfish.
3. Lebron drives the lane and makes it but the Cavs lose in overtime. Lebron is criticized by the media for not dishing it to Marshall at the end of regulation.
I look at all four of the possible outcomes and i realize that this is not Lebron's fault. The only person the media should be criticizing is Donnell Marshall for missing the shot, but no one talks about him.
Well, there's an early morning rant you guys can all stew over.
