I like Neil's line, "incredible, valiant basketball in the face of defeat." That makes me realize that I admire LeBron most when he's losing. Not that I root against him -- no one who grew up with Bruce "World B. Free" Wilhem and Ed "John Bagley" Kraus" could ever root fully against the Cavs. I mean that he's most admirable when, with almost no one around him, he managed to go toe to toe with the then-best full teams of the NBA.
