    Maybe he's smarter than we thought....

    And what's this "unfortunately" crap? You'd rather win a penetrating basketball game? Yeah?

    Points - no need for IQ do score them ( Curry, Melo), Rebounds - he is a freak of nature, big , strong. Assists -dude gets double teamed, there is always at least one teammate open. His height helps him to see floor more easily. But yes, he rarely takes bad shots and manages clock nicely.

    If everyone else was on the same athletic level as LeBron, he wouldn't be anywhere near as dominant as he is. That's just the reality of the situation whether people like it or not. People hate the truth.

    Learning, you hate the truth, quit projecting pal. According to people in the know ie. not you, he's a basketball genius. Not just smart but genius. I tend to believe what they have to say over your hypothetical opinion.

    Most never even consider how smart he is, they just assume he dominates because his skill set is so unique. Both are true.

    I think that without a doubt, Lebron will leave the game as the best that ever played.

    Even if Dennis Rodman doesn't agree. That quack tried to marry himself. He should keep his mouth shut before a sneaky Korean slides his cokk in there.
    can't believe you drank the lebron koolaid. Guy is dumb and soft mentally, physically gifted and tons of calls from refs..throw in some endorsements and espn telling idiots how great he is and you build him up into something he isn't.

    LeBron is on a different level than everyone else. No one else in the NBA is his size and has anywhere near his athletic ability. They're not even in his league. If everyone was similar to him athletically, he wouldn't be anywhere close to what he is. That's the reality of the situation. People compare LeBron and Kevin Durant all the time. LeBron is 10x the athlete Kevin Durant is. And that has nothing to do with basketball.

    obviously people crying about lebron have money on the heat.

    if you've ever played or have any knowledge of the game, he is that fukking good.

    also, the reason why i love lebron so much is he isn't a ball hog like kobe or mj.

    but to many that's considered mentally weak.

    He's so smart, he knows there is no significance to winning or losing game 3 of the finals.

    actually mj would do WHATEVER HE HAD TO DO TO WIN THE GAME

    if it meant him dropping 50 in a game then he'd do it

    i dont know if you ever saw him do it but youd understand what incredible desire jordan had to win....lebron doesnt have it

    This is the main resonating truth, and the number 1 reason I cannot support this ass clown.

    Jordan defined for me what a champion looks and acts like. LeBron isn't it. Dude's a clown.

    Anybody under 30, thinking about Lebron over MJ, is f$$$king clueless.

    Didn't lose a bet, just venting. MJ is a killer, wants to win no matter what, end of story. Maybe the era doesn't produce that kind of hunger anymore, but LBJ lacks so much of the mental game it's unbelievable. Kobe much stronger in that regard.

    kobe waaaaaaaaay overrated in that dept

    kobe quit vs suns in a game 7 and against dallas 2 years ago

    kobe is not one of the 10 most cold blooded players in nba history even though everyone seems to think hes at the top

    I'll easily agree with you on the overrated part. However, it's undeniable that Kobe at least has "it".

    So glad I don't have to hear another double whammy of ESPN slob knobbing all over Bron Bron and Teblow.

    True, just his volume of game 7s in so high. Just in comparison to James. Gets schooled by Paul George. Nails a long-range 3 in George's face. High fives!!! Just doesn't have it.

    Bird followed his great basketball career by coaching the Pacers and taking them to the finals. He's also the one behind this Pacer team. Not because Bird is white, but Bird have the highest Ball IQ of them all. Wasn't fast, athletic enough but made his way on top of Mt. Rushmore

    i've been an nba fan since the early 80s.

    jordan was a ball hog.

    plus he got a lot of calls back then and he was guarded by players like craig ehlo.

    inthedrink to refresh your memory, look how high craig ehlo jumped to block jordan's shot.



    also, dennis rodman is smoking some good shit saying lebron would be an average player if he played back in the days.

    if dennis rodman were to play in the nba now, he won't even be the 12th man on any team.
