Throughout LeBron's career I have always given him the benefit of the doubt. He didn't have the supporting cast, or he is still young, or he just had a bad game. I've believed all those things. I'm not sure why, but even The Decision didn't rub me the way it seemed to rub most. I was still a LeBron believer. I wanted him to be amazing because I wanted to see amazing.Unfortunately, these finals with Dallas have shown that LeBron is not the amazing I have been holding out for all these years. No excuses this time, he has lost either confidence or interest. Simply put, he's lost the Eye of the Tiger.
What is the Eye of the Tiger?
The Eye of the Tiger is sliding head-first on a gravel-like infield, pulling your shorts up with one hand and beating the throw home with the other hand. Did I mention the score was 2-9 and it was the first game of the city softball league? I knew my extra point wouldn't even give us a chance to win last night (we lost 8-21), but the Eye of the Tiger required me to tear the flesh off my knees and elbows and flash the locals.
LeBron doesn't have the Eye of the Tiger. I can't stand behind a sports figure who is deficient in the most important category, heart. LeBron obviously didn't take notes while watching Rocky.

There was an interesting article in the Statesman about the trio not equaling Nowitski. The Jet is a nice asset for the Mavericks. I never noticed him before last Th. Eye of the Tiger is the story of your life.
