Rafa wins...Again...What's wrong with LeBron?...

Rafa won the French Open for the sixth time in seven years on Sunday and his victim was once again Roger Federer. I am a very strong advocate for Roger Federer; he is classy and extremely pleasant to his fans. His game is effortless and his artistry unmatched! It's truly a shame that he just doesn't match up well with Nadal. Nadal is all effort and hustle, which I do appreciate, but it isn't the type of style that I enjoy watching on the tennis court. And now it seems he is getting a bit cocky, which works just fine if you have a rival who will engage in this behavior. McEnroe vs. Connors anyone??

LeBron James had a woeful game 4 in the NBA Finals. He didn't shoot well, had several turnovers, and seemed to shy away from the ball at crunch time. I personally like LeBron James, but in order to erase all the doubt about how good he actually is he must STEP UP!! He had a few moments in the Eastern Conference Finals but so far in THE FINALS he has been little better than a role player.

As I saw in a recent movie trailer, the debate about Kobe vs. LeBron is heating up at water coolers everywhere. But right now, the argument is, in fact, one-sided...Kobe has 5 Championships...LeBron has a nice endorsement deal and a the moniker "King James"...better shun the shrinking violet routine, LeBron, lest the haters bury you!
