The NBA season is winding down. While Boston and Washington battled through a game 7 for the right to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, Cleveland had their feet kicked up waiting to see who wins. So, I have to wonder, is LeBron James bad for the NBA?

With the NFL Draft barely in the rear view mirror and the NBA Draft on the horizon, there is an awful lot of grandstanding this time of year.
Instead of discussing the outcome of the past season, the argument tends to veer towards the level of success or failure of past players on a professional level.
