09:37 AM ET 06.12 | DeShawn Stevenson has taken plenty of verbal shots at Miami's LeBron James in his day. He doesn't need any help. Someone who claims to be the Mavericks guard posted this on Facebook: "I told em Lebron is Overrated but did they listen? swag." Stevenson made it clear Saturday those aren't his words or his post. "I don't do stuff like that," Stevenson said. "I don't have enough time for that." Stevenson told Rick Carlisle the same thing. The Mavericks coach caught wind of the post and told the guard to cut it out. Stevenson assured Carlisle he wasn't the author. "He asked me, and I told him I don't have one [Facebook page]," Stevenson said. "I don't have Twitter. I don't have Facebook. I don't have anything. The only thing I have is an iPad 2."

It doesn't matter if Stevenson or somebody wrote it. Lebron is fake and overated. Lebron had the guts to tell the world game 5 against Dallas was the biggest game of his life. Which means all the playoff games and finals games he played in Cleveland uniform didn't mean sheit to him. I feel bad for Cleveland fans now that we know his heart wasn't in it the whole time he was there.

Man F this fake liar... Cleveland fans need to get their money back from him.

It is what it is.People impersonate celebrities and public athletes all the time. Not a big deal. Now that Stevenson has set the record straight that he did not write that stuff, there's nothing else to discuss.

I don't matter if Stevenson or somebody else wrote this. Al lwe know is that it's the thought of a rational adult and most people share that sentiment.

Lebron is a fool.

So much for being comapre to Jordan. If he didn't play alongside Wade and Bosh he wouldn't have had that comparisn. Pippen got a little bit emtional over the Bulls.

And you were begging for him to wear a Knicks jersey...

I tried to tell you man, tried to tell you. He just doesn't have the heart to carry a team. And he is allergic to difficult situations, where the great ones often thrive.

Maybe those posts will give LBJ the motivation he apparently doesn't have already. I wonder if all of the admiration this kid has seen since coming into the league hasn't held him back. There was so much praise and hype surrounding him that he just doesn't have the hunger that fueled the fires of players that went on to achieve greatness. It was all given to him by the same media that is now making excuses for him.

remember this cat is just 24 years old, straight from highschool to nba and nba lifestyle is a gaudy proposition for anyone. trying to compare him to the seasoned greats is ridiculous really. He's not a faker he just a ordinary guy.

Some of these personal comments are appalling. These guys from both teams are playing as hard as they can and giving the best that they can. I don't know much about Cleveland, but I suspect LeBron left because the owner there used LeBron for a cash cow and didn't get him an adequate supporting cast to win a championship. Who wants to play if there's no chance of winning? Not me. But this series, wow(!), is anybody's ballgame to the end!

What is up with this dude???...could you imagine this guy breaking up with a girl???.. hate texts, prank calls, dorky love letters, crying at her work, begging, slashing tires, TPing houses, I dont put anything past this guy. I cant stand Lebron either, but this dude takes things to a personal level, and I can only imagine what would happen if it really was a personal issue.

Man this is illogical stuff. Just because Lebron said game 5 was the most important, which is probably true. It doesn't follow that the games in Cleveland meant nothing. It just mean they were not the most important. End of story. If he had said the games in Cleveland were the most important, does it mean that the Miami games are meaningless and the Miami fans should be pissed? Of course not. It obvious you don't like Lebron and he has said and done some things that were stupid, but saying that game 5 and now game 6 is the most important in his life is not one.

What it means is that LeBron was never two wins away from a title in Cleveland. Grow up.

You heard it here first lebron is gonna drop 35+ pts tonight and miami win by 12

When the going gets tough, LeHype folds...

That's why it's a bad idea to ask sideking Lebrick James for a change for a dollar... because you'll never gonna get the 4th quarter... LeChoke!

35 points but none in the 4th while he watches the Mavs take yet another game away because they forgot out to close out games when it actually matters most. ;)
