Magic was saying something I agree with......

Along the lines of to become a champion (in anything in life not just hoops), you can't have a fear of failure.

In LBJ's case watching the Dallas series, his whole persona reeked of this.

He has the skills and physical attributes. But if the psychological side isn't right, you won't be for ever known as a true champion. Not un-correctable, time is still on his side.

There are no shortcuts, but more likely this series will be remembered as a case of LeBron coming up one quarter short on too many nights. Maybe next year will be different. Maybe LeBron will figure out how to lead the Heat to a string of titles with Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh. Trophies don't come with performances like this. Time will tell.

Don't ever ask Lebron to give you change for a dollar, he'll only give you 3 quarters.

You know, I was agreeing with Steve Kerr's comment. He said LeBron is like Scottie Pippen... Phil Jackson called Pippen a sometimes shooter. Some shots go in, some dont. Same with LeBron. He does not have a closeout game.

Jordan was a closer...
