One humble dude.  A special talent who seems to really get it.  Don't recall LeBron ever talking about each individual teammate or deflecting all the praise.  He's fun to watch and a great role model for kids looking up to him.  Wish I could say I could see the Thunder winning it all, but I can't.  OKC should probably figure their crap out and quit booing the team and running headlines like "Mr. Unreliable" before they run him out of town by the end of next year.

All about the coaching in OKC. Hopefully, for Durant, Brooks will be gone next year.

That, and they extended the wrong sidekick. Neither team would've done it, but I would've loved to have seen a Westbrook for Rondo deal. Both are exactly what the other team needed. Rondo, Harden, and Durant would've been incredibly fun to watch. Westbrook would be great if he wasn't taking shots from the best scorer of this generation.

source?

It's long, but worth a listen. Guy seems humble. Nice to have a couple good role models for all the kids watching.

Really wish he didn't play with Westbrook, that dude is so unlikeable.
