LeBron's Image

No excuses now for LeGroin.  Kobe won all his titles with only one superstar teammate.

kobe is not better than Lebron, that argument has been dead for years

only jordan can be argued to be better, deal with it

Yeah whatever.  LeGroin needs to deliver.  I still don't like him, but I hope he wins. 

[AbrahamG]

I think the Bulls with Lebron instead of Jordan would still have 6 titles.

I think the Cavs with Jordan instead of Lebron would not have beaten Golden State.

I wonder why Kawhi didn't want to play with LeGroin? 

[AbrahamG]

He is afraid of Lebron's humungous, ebony cock.

[Earl1972]

I wonder why Kawhi didn't want to play with LeGroin? 

maybe because he would be the beta, as Lebron is the King

i wonder why michael jordan quit like a bitch to play baseball

Because his father's murder caused him to reevaluate his priorities in life.   What does Jordan have to do with Kawhi not wanting to play with LeGroin?

I've now watched LeBron more than I have at any time in his career this season.  I have a better appreciation for his game.  Outstanding decision making with the ball in his hands.  When he decides to get to the rim nobody can stop him.  He's a freak (size, speed, skill). 

I can also see even more clearly that he is no MJ or Kobe or even Bird.  He does not have their killer instinct.  He is not clutch.  He is afraid to take the final shot.  He takes pull-up jumpers and fade aways way too often in crunch time, when he should be getting to the rim.  And his free throw shooting sucks.

I still hate having to root for him, but I like his game more now than I did a year ago.

stop it with the kobe and bird comparisons to the KING

When it comes to killer instinct, clutch play, etc. there isn't much of a comparison.  LeBron doesn't have it.

lebron carried bad teams to the finals, kobe missed the playoffs with bad teams

that argument has been dead for years, let it rest in peace just like kobe

[AbrahamG]

You can argue Lebron or Jordan and I can see it both ways.  But, when I ask myself if Jordan was on the Cavs instead of Lebron would they have beaten Golden State?  I tend to think not.  Likewise, if you put Lebron on any of the 6 Bulls teams that won championships instead of Jordan I think they still would have won.

I'm talking about clutch play and killer instinct.  There is no debate.  MJ, Kobe, and Bird are all better than LeBron in that regard.  It's not even close.

this is nonsense, skip bayless said it 10 years ago because he couldn't carry one bad cavs team to the finals and now every lebron hater says the same thing

Who cares what Skip Bayless says?  I'm talking about facts.  And the eyeball test.  I watched Bird, MJ, Kobe, and LeBron in crunch time.  I know exactly what I have seen.  I see LeBron, repeatedly, passing on crunch time shots, refusing to take the ball to the rim, and missing free throws.

Focus.  I'm not talking about their total game.  I'm talking about what each player did late in the fourth quarter of games.

many people care what he says apparently, because like i said he said 10 years ago the KING isn't clutch and now people are still saying it to this day

I know Skip Bayless isn't a LeBron fan, but he doesn't tell me what to think.  I just believe what I see. 

I'm not a LeBron fan, but I'm able see what he is great at and I see what he's not so great at.  Just my opinion, but it's based on my own evaluation, not what some talking head says.

[Dos Equis]

I still hate having to root for LeBron, but I'm glad my Lakers are back in the Finals after 10 years.  It has been a rough stretch.

LeBron couldn't get it done without The Brow.  Anthony Davis is the best player on that Lakers squad.  Now they are gone fishing.  Gotta figure out what to do with all that extra time I'll have during the NBA playoffs.

Please tell me you are not saying AD is better than Lebron?

[Dos Equis]

They don't play the same position, but do I think he's a better overall player than LeBron?  Yes.

Great discussion.
