Round Three: Analyzing DeShawn Stevenson's Latest Crack On LeBron James

Somewhere, boxing godfather Don King and wrestling promoter Vince McMahon are smiling. After all, DeShawn Stevenson and LeBron James have traded quips like prize fighters or WWE characters before a big match. For those living under a rock, Stevenson called James “overrated” after Thursday's Wizards-Cavaliers game.

![]() My Quick Take: Somewhere, boxing godfather Don King and wrestling promoter Vince McMahon are smiling. After all, DeShawn Stevenson and LeBron James have traded quips like prize fighters or WWE characters before a big match. For those living under a rock, Stevenson called James “overrated” after Thursday’s Wizards-Cavaliers game. On Monday, The King went hip-hop with his response, comparing his situation with Stevenson to Jay-Z beefing with Soulja Boy. Well, round three hit today. Stevenson came back hard to Washington Post insiders Michael Lee and Ivan Carter:
These two have personal issues. Lee and Carter reported on their blog that James recently bad-mouthed Stevenson to former teammate Drew Gooden. Of course, Gooden ran James' comments back to Stevenson, which probably contributed to the post getting traded from Cleveland to Chicago at the deadline. What do you think of Stevenson’s comments?

Was LeBron overrated when he knocked the Wizards out of the playoffs for the past two years in a row? And the Wizards were totally healthy in '06, so please don't give me that excuse. I think a better word for LeBron should be the "Wizardbreaker". report abuse

I hope Lebron read this. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TREAT PEOPLE AS IF THEY ARE LOWER THAN YOU. YOU ARE VERY SHALLOW ON THE WAY YOU SHOW OFF YOUR COCKY FACE AND TREAT PEOPLE AS IF THEY ARE INFERIOR. YOU ARE A VERY OVERRATED PERSON. LOOK AT TIM DUNCAN, HE IS MORE ACCOMPLISHED THAN YOU AT HIS FIRST TWO YEARS THAN YOUR FIVE YEARS IN THE LEAGUE BUT HE NEVER ACT AS COCKY AS YOU. TIM DUNCAN WON AN ALL STAR MVP, SECOND IN MVP VOTING, FINALS MVP, FIRST ALL NBA TEAM, FIRST ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM, THIRD IN DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, HIS TEAM HAD THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE, HE WAS THE SPURS LEADERS IN ALL CATEGORIES EXCEPT THREES, STEALS, HE WAS SECOND IN ASSIST, HE AVERAGED 24 POINTS, ALMOST 14 REBOUNDS, 4 ASSIST, ALMOST 3 BLOCKS, and 1 STEAL PER GAME, and SHOT 50% FROM THE FIELD. HIS GAME EFFICIENCY INCLUDING WINNING PERCENTAGE IS HIGHER THAN YOURS. HAVE YOU SEEN DUNCAN TALK DOWN AT OTHER PLAYERS, THUMP HIS CHEST WHEN HE DUNKS, OR ORDER PEOPLE AROUND IN THE USA TEAM WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR NAMES. KNOW, BUT LEBRON WOULD. THE MEDIA NEVER WORSHIPPED HIM BECAUSE HE IS NOT A COCKY INDIVIDUAL BUT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN BETTER THAN YOU AT THE AGE OF 23. YOU ARE NOT THE CHOSEN ONE, BECAUSE YOU ARE BELOW TIM DUNCAN AS A PERSON WITH MORALS AND AS A PLAYER. report abuse

Look Jay Z, he is overrated for the simple fact that he is being worshipped as if he has accomplished enough that other players havent at his age. He is playing in a weak conference, and the Wizards are not a challenging team. As James, how his Cavs did against the Spurs in the FInals? You are obviously aming it as if Lebron deserve his dues for beating the Wiz, come on man. The definition of a great player is vast, and I agree with the guy that here that Tim Duncan is better than Lebron, because he wins, and he is much more unselfish. I would probably agree as well that Kobe is better than Lebron because he has done so mcuh as a player and is carrying the Lakers in his back with one of the best record in a very good western conference, unlike the east. You are aware Jay Z that if the Cavs were in the west, they will be either 9 or 10, meaning theyw ill not make the playoffs. I even think the Nuggets, Warriors, and Hornets can beat the Cavs in a seven game series anytime. And these are not your top true contender teams in the West. report abuse

Hey Anthony, Lebron did go pretty shallow by his comments, by showing off that he is superior to Stevenson as if Stevenson's comments doesnt make sense because he is not in the same caliber as Lebron. I think Lebron is a great player, and nobody here can question that, but his arrogance and the way fans overrate him makes me sick. Hey Jay Z, you might hurt your throat by sucking up too much. report abuse

I did read it in the San Antonio Express when Bruce Bowen talked to Lebron about showing more respect to the staff during the USA basketball camp couple of years ago. Lebron would order people around, and not know, nor wanna know their first names. He would push people to do some of his stuff without a smile or any sense of professionalis. This is evidence enough on how cocky Lebron is. It is no surprise to me when Stevenson finally had guts to say Lebron is overrated because he has been for the past 5 years. I agree with the professor and manu ginobiliia and even Anthony that Lebron crossed the line. Regardless if you are a superstar or not, to some extent, you still gotta act like a civilized and professional human being, which Lebron did not. report abuse

I think it is not Lebron who is at fauly here for being called an overrated player. I think it is the media. I mean they advertise him as if he won the championship, mvp, or as if he is the next Michael Jordan. This is bs out of bs. But i have to agree with most of the guys here, especially Chi town and the professor, Lebron is very arrogant, and it is time for him to start acting like a professional, the same likes as great ballers before him. report abuse

Lebron needs to shut his mouth. I have never seen a more cocky and overrated player in my generation. By reading some of the comments here and the other commentary on the previous article by Oly Sandor, it seems that real basketball fans with a fair knowledge of the game, are now realizing how overrated and arrogant this guy is. Stevenson did the right thing by saying what was on his mind. We all should appreciate his honesty. Lets Go Rockets! report abuse

HAHA. That was a funny joke Chi Town Baller! It is obvious that Jay Z is a big suck up to Lebron instead of measuring the issue of the debate here. I'm sorry man, I dont mean it personal, but you do sound like a suck up more than a real fan of the game. LEBRON IS OVERRATED AND ALL TRUE BASKETBALL FANS KNOW IT. STEVENSON IS NOT ONLY RIGHT, WHAT HE SAID IS PERCECT. The Lakers will win the championship this year and I can't wait for Kobe to shove it in cocky Lebron's face because he deserives it. report abuse

Lebron is kinda showing off by saying that he is Jay Z and he is higher than Stevenson who is Souljah Boy. I think this arrogance by Lebron will backfire on him, because many fans will turn against him. The media would probably love this, because they will profit from his arrogance. As far as what Stevenson said, he has a point. Even before Lebron averaged 30 7 and 6, he was already overrated in HS and even during his rookie year, which he should have lost it to Carmelo, because Carmelo had better stats, more wins, and his team made the playoffs. The media should stop kissing Lebron's feet as if he is the king of all basketball. Hey Lebron, what happened against the Spurs in the FInals? report abuse

As a baller from Argentina, we have grown to admire the American greats such as Michael Jordan, Magic, and Larry. However, Lebron is a different case, because I cannot stand the way he proudly demonstrate himself in front of the media. People tend to overrate Lebron. I want to see Manu and Scola beat Lebron's US team once again, because my country plays like a team, while Team USA, although I believe is the best team, lack the chemistry because of self centered Lebron James. report abuse

Who is hating here? Nbody is hating here, nobody said Lebron sucks. Lebron is a good player, but he is overrated. That is the argument here. I cannot stand how obsessed fans of Lebron treat Stevenson as if he has no right to speak his mind. This is not a superior-inferior issue, it is a debate on whether Lebron deserves the hype that the media is giving him. If we look at some of the evidences, his acomplish feats are insufficient to garner attention because the bigges thing and the most important to play for is not individual stats, but is winning. Ask Lebron what happened when he faced the Spurs, he choked against Bruce Bowen. He is not good enough to carry his team on his back because he is egotistical, selfish, and full of himself. Stevenson is the man in this case! report abuse

Lebron is obsess with himself. He thinks he is better than everybody. Kobe is by far much more modest than him. Kobe was overrated when he was young but at this point in his career, he deserves the credit for being able to compete in the West. If Lebron's Cavs were in the West, they have a worst record and not close enough to make the playoffs since the top 9-10 teams are better than his. Although Kobe got so much hype, he was never as OVERRATED AS LEBRON. report abuse

Round Three: Analyzing DeShawn Stevenson's Latest Crack On LeBron James
Duncan was offered to play NBA ball by his sophomore year, but he promised his mother who died, that he would finish college. Indeed, he completed college, got his education, and therefore was already an educated, respectful human being, professional, and mature when he came to the NBA. As a young kid, he did not have much confidence, he suffered from depression doe to his mother's death and eventual father's death as well. Yet he remained humble to the game and is the most SUCCESSFUL NBA PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW. He was offered a $55 million 2 year contract extension by the Spurs, WHICH WOULD HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE HIM THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NBA, he then rejects it because he wanted the Spurs not to exceed the salary cap and be able to sign lucrative free agents. Have you every heard of a classy guy like Duncan, who is a superstar, much more accomplished than Lebron, yet the media would rather concentrate on publicizing Lebrons arrogance for higher ratings. Lebron is uneducated, he never went to college, he wanted the money already. Hell, he accepted money from various agents to buy his escalades with 28 rims. He would never sacrifice his mone for the benefit of the team, that is why he only signed a 3 year deal with the Cavs so he can opt out in two years and make more. The Cavs are now way above the salary cap and unable to sign a lucrative free agent. So who is a better player, and a better human being, Lebron or Duncan? HAHA Yall know the answer. SO THE TOPIC HERE IS OVER, LEBRON IS OVERRATED. THANKS STEVENSON FOR SAYING THE TRUTH. report abuse

Stevenson's honesty is admirable. Someone who does not have a superstar status like the likes of LEbron, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, Nash, Wade, and Nowitzki was able to speak the truth. Manu I like you comments here, I think it all make sense how you open people's eyes about Tim Duncan. He is a very classy guy as you mentioned and by far deserves more attention from the media than Lebron. Lebron is really overrated and Tim Duncan is the least appreciated player in the league. Come to think of it, he is the best player in the last 10 years in the NBA, yet people get fussed about arrogant and overrated Lebron. Fire Isiah, you have a point here, reading some of the comments, I can tel that people are more of a suck up that providing proof of the topic here and defend the issue if they think Lebron is not overrated.

If you look at it on what Lebron said that he is Jay Z and Stevenson is Souljah Boy, and how funny is it and makes no sense, you can tell how he tries to show off his cockiness and at the same time belittle Stevenson because he is a better player. Can honesty people, u still agree with what Lebron did? This is complete unprofessional, he should have stayed in college and got some education, so he can learn to be a more ethical human being. Stevenson made the right statement by calling Lebron overrated, since there are many players much more successful than him in the NBA.

You mean Deannba that just because Stevenson is not a superstar like Lebron he should'nt say he is overrated? All Stevenson said is speak the truth and most of America agrees he is tremendously overhyped by the standards and quality of his accomplishments. Lebron's Cavs are not a contender and they will not make the playoffs if they were in the West. Please respond to that please please. Also, respond to this too, the Cavs were lucky they played in the East that is why they reached the finals, because if they played in the West, they will get their ass whooped. Also please respond to this, Stevenson did not say Lebron is no good, he just said he is overrated, what is wrong with that? You mean only people with superstar status can talk and people below have no right, since you are obviouslt trying to make as if Stevenson is inferior to your beloved Lebron. Lebron is overrated and counter that with facts, because I believe people have backed up their argument here except some of the Lebron suck ups like yourself. This is pathetic! report abuse

It is not even a questio who is better, Duncan or LEbron James. It is also not debatable who is better, kobe or lebron? it is not debatable who is touger, Allen Iverson or Lebron? it should not even be discussed who is king, Michael Jordan or Lebron? Please to all media and suck ups, stop overrating cocky lebron james because are children may start copy his uncivilized and barbaric behaviors. report abuse

Round Three: Analyzing DeShawn Stevenson's Latest Crack On LeBron James
What Lebron James said is pretty arrogant. I mean Kobe may be arrogant during his younger , but i am sure he will never say he is "superior" to another player. Lebron has no honor, nor any level of human principles, well at least in his statements, he didnt show it.. I am very happy that many fans are finally realizing how Lebron James is overrated. We do not want a person like that you thinks to highly of himself for our kids to see. I was really touched by Manu Ginobilii's comments here. I think it all make sense on how nice and well bred guys are underrated while juvenile, uneducated, and cocky individuals are overrated. That is what the media feeds our children. It is absolutely absurd! report abuse

To lebron james is not god, i dont think any player has the right to critisize another player maybe lebron is over rated but i dont think players should talk about other peoples games. In most sports you wont hear another athlete insult another player they are both in the wrong but you cant say lebrons in the wrong and stevensons in the right because hes stickin up for himself report abuse

IN A COUNTRY DIVIDED BY ARROGANCE, THOSE WITH STATUS CONTINUE TO TREAT PEOPLE LOWER THAN THEM AS IF THEY DO NOT SHARE THE VERY SAME RIGHTS THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED AND AMENDED BY THE US CIVIL LIBERTIES DURING KENNEDY'S ADMINISTRATION. I CONSIDER PEOPLE LIKE THE PERSON WHO CLAIMS TO BE A TEACHER AS NOT ONLY ARROGANT TO THE EXTREME BUT OUTRIGHT BARBARIC IN HIS EXEMPLARY DELIVERY OF OPINION. THIS DEBATE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LEBRON'S SUPERIORITY, AS IF TEACHER CONSIDER HIM HIS GAY LOVER, IT IS AN ISSUE ON WHETHER IS HE OVERRATED BY THE MEDIA AND FANS. AS THE UNITED STATES WONDER AND THINK OF THIS EASY QUESTION, AMERICA WILL SONNER OR LATER FETCH UP WITH A CONVINCING ANSWER THAT LEBRON IS OVERRATED, ARROGANT, AND OUTRIGHT UNPROFESSIONAL. PLEASE MY FRIENDS I APOLOGIZE FOR TEACHER AS MY FELLOW HUMAN BEING, BUT DO NOT WORRY, A PERSON OF HIS STATURE BELONGS TO A GROUP WITHOUT ANY HUMAN MORAL VALUES OR ANY LEVEL OF CIVILIZED PRINCIPLES. LET US NOT GO DOWN HIS PITIFUL LEVEL MY FRIENDS. report abuse

I’ve heard this before, blah blah blah, Lebron is king, he got money, he got skills, stevenson sucks, lebron is too superior to stevenson, blah blah blah. Now, for all you SUCK UPS, stick with the topic. Lebron is very well known to be COCKY AND ARROGANT. LEBRON KNOWS THAT HE IS OVERRATED TOO. If we just be honest rather than suck up to Lebron like sucking a straw, like some of you guys here, we all know well that the MEDIA OVERRATES LEBRON JAMES. STEVENSON, YOU ARE THE MAN FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH BABY! . report abuse

Round Three: Analyzing DeShawn Stevenson's Latest Crack On LeBron James
Lebron James is overrated. He gets too much hype and publicity. I mean even before coming to the NBA, Nike already signed him to a huge contract, plus the media began calling him "the king" or "the savior" when he has not even step a foot in the NBA. The fans understood how overrated he is that is why he wasnt voted in his first NBA All Star. At 23, Magic is by far better than him, yet he was not as quite arrogant like Lebron. I have noticed when I read posts from people who love Lebron, they act much like him, conceited, self denial, and spoiled. And they begin to use slurs or any level of poor vocabulary to worship Lebron's status and consider others inferior. If you ask me who is better in the last 5 years of his NBA career, I'd say Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, Wade, Nowitzki, and Nash. After all, it is all about winning, not who can have the most highlight dunks. What we should look for here is the wins you get against the best teams, and the accomplishments of your team against stiff competition. Lebron has only been good because of weak competition in the East. Calling him the king or the next Jordan, makes him the most overrated player in NBA history, equal to Sam Bowie being picked over Michael Jordan. report abuse

You are an uniformed fan. Its not all about looking at the stats, its about showing leadership and winning big games. Lebron's team would be number 10 in the superior west, meaning his team would not make the playoffs. He had an easy time passing the Eastern Conference Finals because the team is so weak that by the time he played the Spurs in the Finals, he was annihilated. All Lebron fans can say is stats, stats, and did i mention stats? Stevenson can say what he wants whether you liek it or not. Lebron is overrated by the media and fans because all theyc are about is either publicty or self satisfying reasons. Lebron is selfish, egomaniac, and represent fans like some people here who all they think about is personal accolades. That not only makes Lebron overrated, that makes him below a model athelete. report abuse

Kobe will average 45 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assist with the Cavs. Duncan will average 32 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assist, 6 blocks, and 3 steals with the Cavs. Garnett will average 32 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assist, and 3 blocks with the Cavs. Even Steven Nash will average 30 points even he played for the Cavs. Lebron James is a ball hog, he works for stats, he wants the ball so he can get his points and assist and shoot below 50%, since he always missess more shots than he makes. Just ask Larry Hughes why he wanted the trade, its all because Lebron wants to run the team so he can make his stats at the expense of failing to nurture Cleveland's TEAM CHEMISTRY. report abuse

What a bunch of bitter people. Stevenson could leave the NBA and wouldn't be missed. Lebron is one of the best in the league right now and will go down as one of the best of all time. Easily one of the best. One of you Lebron haters should actually watch one of his games sometime. He often looks like he is playing against a bunch of kids report abuse

NBA stars have a dominant shelf life of 10 years. History shows it. James started sooner and will burn out equally sooner. Clock's running. Next "star" is coming. report abuse
