09:01 AM ET 01.10 | LeBron James has accepted -- even embraced -- his reality. James scored 44 points against Portland while enduring the usual hostility that always greets him on the road. "I've grown accustomed to it," James said. "I enjoy it." Early in the season, he said it was harder to deal with the booing "when you're not as comfortable as you want to be. But right now, we're very comfortable together. I'm very comfortable. And I've kind of accepted this villain role everyone has placed on me. I'm OK with it. I accept it."

Now on Topic: the heat have became what i thought they would be. Bosh has found his game D-wade is free from injury at this point and lebron's just doing his thang. and that's a bad thing for the celtics...

Man will someone put a lid on this kids' mouth? It's annoying to hear from him. And if he thinks fans care if he accepts the boos or cries about he's damn out of his mind. Of course we all want him to suffer the same imjury ROY has... screw that sukker!

Just like any other bully, LeBron enjoys pushing around people weaker than him. And like any other bully, LeBron tends to collapse when someone isn't afraid of him, as evidenced by his epic playoff failures when he's had to face opponents who aren't in awe of him.
