Coffee is for closers!

I don't care if it was only for 4 or 5 minutes.  Kidd's giving up 7 inches and 80 pounds.  Lebron didn't have a post game.  If he did, they wouldn't have had considered putting kidd on him.  Thus wade would have continued to abuse kidd. 

His lack of a post game cost him.  It will again, if he doesn't start working on it. 

Nobody is disputing this. What I'm disagreeing with is the claim that Jason Kidd shut LeBron down. He didn't shut LeBron down any more than I did. (OK, maybe a little more ... but you get the drift).
LeBron's unwillingness/disinterest in playing shut LeBron down.

But, You were the one who said it would be bad for his longevity to practice a hook shot. 

Really? That's what I wrote?
And you accuse me of crazy talk?

Developing a post-up game may make James a better player - for a while - but it won't do a thing for extending his status as an elite player. If anything, it'll shorten it. It will lead him to getting pounded by larger player, i.e. power forwards and centers, who will slide over to help.

= practicing hook shoots will hurt his longevity.
