On the Cavs attitude: “They beat us two years in a row (in the playoffs) and last year, they gave us a spanking you know, so they have that swagger. When they walk into our gym they feel like they are at home so we have to take that away from them. We’ve got to stop playing around with them, laughing and joking because we know those guys. We have to take those guys serious.”

DeShawn was obviously holding back in that session with reporters around his locker. When he was leaving the building, Mike Lee was chatting him up and mentioned LeBron again. DeShawn has obviously heard enough of that.

“He’s overrated,” DeShawn told Mike. “And you can say I said that” (Washington Post).

Thank you DeShawn Stevenson of the Washington Wizards, for saying something dumb enough to get the best (or second-best) player in the NBA fired up enough to treat the Wizards like an ugly girl at the prom. Another memo to DeShawn, if people have to refer to your team after your name so that people will know who you are; you have no business calling out anyone. You don’t have the right to call out the pizza delivery guy for being late with your Supreme, much less, the right to call out King James.

Scoreboard:

Cavs:

2-0 series lead.

LeBron James stats:

31/7.5/8

DeShawn Stevenson stats:

7.5/0.5/3.5

M’Fer, how do you average .5 rebounds over two games?  I could average two rebounds just off of missed shots that hit me on the f’n head and landed in front of me. Stevenson calling LeBron James overrated is like the paperboy hating on me because I drive a car and he rides a bike. Both of you need to take the training wheels off, where I’m from only grown-ups ride in the front.

The Wizards are not going to win this series unless an asteroid lands on LeBron’s Hummer while he’s on the way to the arena, but Stevenson is going to win something; he’s this week’s Whiffer of the Week.

Here’s LeBron being over-rated. Oh and who’s that guy he’s dunking on? Nah, couldn’t be the same number two in the Wizards jersey as pictured above could it? I’d like to see the Wizards make a series of this, as I love the Arenas/James match-up, and if Arenas had made these comments I wouldn’t have a problem with them. Arenas is good. Stevenson is not.
