Slap a falling ‘star’

F–K LeBron James.

OK, I respect him as a player, but now that he’s going to the Miami Heat instead of my Knicks, all I want to do is beat him.

LeBron is a big name with a big ego who refers to himself in the third person.

He calls himself “King.” If he wants to call himself that, he needs a championship ring. In my book, the real king is Kobe Bryant, who has five.

I was shocked when LeBron decided to go to Miami. I though he might have stayed in Cleveland, where he has his roots — but I knew that wasn’t going to happen when he decided to make his “Decision” speech. If he had been anywhere near Cleveland, they would have been throwing rocks.

I really thought he’d go to Chicago to build his legacy, like Michael Jordan did with the Bulls.

He may have just turned himself into Scottie Pippen, a role player supporting Jordan. The Heat is Dwyane Wade’s team, not LeBron’s.

LeBron’s just a tool being brought to Miami to win a championship

As for the Knicks . . . I love the Knicks. Win or lose, there’s NO place like the Garden. I think we have a great new team leader with Amar’e Stoudemire and a great core of players.

I’m looking forward to seeing LeBron play at the Garden and I want to see Danilo Gallinari dunk on him!
