Featured Column > Big name blues

A Fresh Perspective - Written by Luis Sung
Sometimes the media's obsession with big names can grate on the nerves of many Dolphins fans, oftentimes when watching ESPN we'll hear nothing but stories about LeBron James, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, etc., even though everybody knows that there are more than those players in their respective sports that make a difference. 

Take for example Game 6 of last year's NBA Finals (and please don't talk to me about this year's Finals, I'm still avoiding ESPN because I know Skip Bayless is still lording the fact that he was right over the whole world), would there even have been a Game 7 if Ray Allen hadn't hit that miraculous shot to tie the game? Yet when the game was over, most stories were still centering on LeBron, because he's the bigger name. Mind you, I am by no means saying that Ray Allen didn't get his moment, but my point is that despite him being the true hero of that game, it was still LeBron that got all the credit/blame for everything.
