Dear LeBron,

You're not Dominique Wilkins. Paul Pierce is not Larry Bird. I understand that making that comparison during your post game press conference shows that you're a 'student of the game' and you respect its history.

Here's a history lesson.

You are not Michael Jordan. During a game 7, you tried a lay-up that would have brought your team to within one of the Celtics. After your horrid attempt at a flop, you then decided to look around for the refs, pleading your case for the foul. You sir, are not Michael Jordan, you're not even in his league; You're lucky they let you wear 23. I understand your off the court personality is to be commended, however maybe you should start playing stellar basketball and go 100% from whistle to whistle if you want to be mentioned in the same conversation as His Airness. Michael did his talking on the court, I advise you do the same.

Oh yea, and you should probably learn how to do this too...

First: Jim Durham's call of "the Shot" > Drysdale's call of Gibson's Home Run in the '88 World Series > Russ Hodges' call of "The Shot Heard Round The World" > Johnny Most's "HAVLICEK STOLE THE BALL!" >>>>>>>>> Announcements of flight delays at O'Hare >>>> That national broadcast call of "the Shot"

Second: You think Craig Ehlo LOVES the fact that he is basically the dictionary definition of posterized, or hates it? The guy averaged 8/3/3 for his career so it's not like anyone would remember him if not for that shot...
