LeBron: Mr. October

What's up with LeBron?

Same thing that's been up with LeBron the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that, and however many years before that:

Pressure.

He's fine dunking in November and shooting in threes in December.

But playoff pressure is the truth.

Numerous other showy players look great fiddling around, Dirk Noshotski of the Mavericks, for one example.

The way you stop last year's big shots is you let them shoot field goal attempts, not free throws.

Who embarrasses themselves more when they attempt to talk about the NBA: the Sports Urinals, or the Picker? Too close to call.

Who can't beat Texas?

How can a team beat Boston so badly in one game and then turn around and play like a bunch of schlumps? Conspiracy theory. LeBron and teammates threw the series so he would have an excuse to leave Cleveland for NY?, Chicago?, Atlanta? How about AKRON? Bye, bye LeBron. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!!

Notas, exactly.

LeBron and Noshotski are unbeatable in the first quarter.

Pressure causes a person to shoot free throws left-handed and pass the ball like it's a hot potato in the fourth quarter.

LeBron is October is like The Picker in July. Then crunch time comes.

Come on Picker you could've come up with a better retort than that.

Out Pick The Picker

The Picker began entertaining – and infuriating – sports fans in 1993. Each week during football season, he writes about his picks of college and NFL games in his Thursday Sports column. He's never afraid of sharing his opinions about the game and the personalities who play it. Readers have a chance to go against him each season in the Outpick the Picker contest. He welcomes the competition.
