Why DeShawn Stevenson Shouldn't Trash-Talk LeBron James
Published 3/14/2008 by Hoopsvibe.com at HoopsVibe NBA Blog
Why DeShawn Stevenson Shouldn’t Trash-Talk LeBron James My AM Take: Risk-takers make life interesting. So I admire stockbrokers, gamblers, and actors who star in films with career-killing thespian Freddie Prinze Jr. I m adding Washington guard DeShawn Stevenson to my list. Following Washington s recent win over Cleveland , Stevenson had an interesting opinion on superstar LeBron James."He’s overrated," DeShawn told Mike ( Mike Lee, Washington Post insider ). "And you can say I said that." I appreciate Stevenson s courage; calling out The King takes guts and the you can ...

... who is the DCPSR Game MVP. In 39 minutes, Stevenson hit 4 of 6 3-pointers for 13 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, dished 5 assists, got 3 steals and didn’t turn the ball over once. All that and his often superb defense on Lebron James [25 points on 9 of 22 shooting and 7 turnovers] made Stevenson the hero of the night for Washington. During his long battle with James and Cleveland guard Damon Jones [an big-mouthed underachieving jumpshooter], the trash-talking went on for 3 hours and emotions ran high. ...

... voice, as Gilbert Arenas has been sidelined most of the season, but even the regular season games between the two have been relatively heated. And just when you think the Cavs might play a lesser opponent in the first round, the Wizards survive injuries to both Arenas and Butler to force themselves into a rematch with the rival Cavaliers. But it doesn't stop there. A one-sided battle of words has given the Cavaliers tons of bulletin board material, ranging from DeShawn Stevenson's "LeBron is overrated" comments to Gilbert expressing his desire to play the Cavs in the first ...

... in the final power rankings - seems about right, no? On a side note, if any 76er fan thinks their team got cheated out of the 6th spot by the refs against Cleveland, consider that the Raptors got robbed in Atlanta, so it evens out.

What are we to make of a Wizards team that pretty much stayed afloat even in Gilbert’s absence? Is his return a lift or a burst? How about Caron Butler?
