DeShawn Says LeBron Is 'Overrated'
DeShawn Says LeBron Is 'Overrated'
For those of you that don't follow the NBA that closely, that would be the Wizards' DeShawn Stevenson . Players are known to trash talk each other during the game, but usually afterwards they calm down a bit and talk about how they were just competing, they respect their opponent, etc. This wasn't the case after a game in which DeShawn played excellent defense on LeBron James , including ...

DeShawn Stevenson: See games @Toronto, @Portland
We Suck at Sports — ... example of the last 5 games. Is he getting a little tired? Possibly. His teammates are bricking shots (Wally) and forgetting basic blockouts (Joe Smith), so maybe he's a little pissed off, annoyed, and bored. But certainly it's a difficult pill to swallow to call a guy averaging 30.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1 blocks a game overrated. Be my guest to give him a reason to play harder. DeShawn, not a big fan of LBJ [Washington Post via Fanhouse] Photo: Washington Post ...

Rivalry? You betcha.
Bullets Forever — ... then you've pulled off quite the trifecta.  I'm not sure if he was right (especially considering that being under or overrated is extremely subjective and hard to define), or if he should have even said it.  I think I'll stick with Brett Edwards' opinion on the matter: ...

Gerald Wallace Hugs a Hot Dog Man
And One — ... flashes by, AC's facts roll and the game is on. 1st quarter is not smooth. Notes from the first 3-1/2 minutes: Ben misses dunk / / LB inside miss / / Nazr travels / / Z misses / / Some guy from the Bobcats misses / / Delonte misses / / Okafor misses / / Sasha misses / / Felton twists ankle / / Time Out. You get the idea. LB passes under, over, behind, sideways, forward, backward and I sigh every time. Such a passer. Fred asks AC to comment on DeShawn's "LeBron is overrated" statement: You've got to look for who made the comment. I mean that young man's been a flop ever ...

Toronto vs. Cleveland, 7pm
THE DINOSTY — ... Listen, it’s still a one man show, so lets not try to convince ourselves otherwise. Wally is five seasons removed from being a threat, they have one player taller than 6′9 who can score the basketball, and any team employing Eric Snow should automatically begin each game down five points. Lucky for them, their ‘one man’ isn’t Daniel Gibson, it’s the ‘overrated’* Lebron James.  ...

Bulls looks to help arrange playoff seedings
Chicago Bulls — ... sit in the 6th spot behind the Philadelphia 76ers, who clinched a berth also by beating the Atlanta Hawks Friday. Both have identical records at 39-37. Philadelphia currently holds the tie breaker because they lead the season series 2-1, but they play again on April 12 at Washington in a match-up that could determine who plays Cleveland in the playoffs. You would have to think that Washington doesn’t want anything to do with Cleveland, especially with DeShawn Stevenson’s comments on LeBron James and the fact that Cleveland has put them out of the playoffs the last 2 ...

DeShawn Lures Us In
CelticsBlog — ... the defensive end of the floor, which is certainly a part of the game the Wizards (particularly the back-court) have not been known to specialize in. The 6-foot-5, 218-pound Stevenson has earned himself a reputation as a rugged player who will go toe to toe with anyone. That reputation was only solidified when Stevenson successfully took a charge from Bron himself in order to seal a nationally televised victory over the Cavs back in March. Of course, it's worth remembering that Stevenson also called LeBron out as overrated in the interviews after that game and that he has ...

Mac Gs World — ... Washington's Deshawn Stevenson called LeBulldoze James "overrated" after the Wizards beat the Cavs last month and LeBulldoze bricked a potential game winner. Deshawn had been trash talking all game, possibly resulting in Lebulldoze's poor performance. ...
