    Because your statement was so absurd, it didn't really require an actual list. Come on Giant! You are smarter than that.

Tom friggin' Brady is 39 and never takes a play off, never mind a game. Lebron is the epitome of a millennial douchebag. Yeah he's good--but he ain't great!
    Well said Harry. He is the first person in line to receive praise, glory, and trophies when the Cavs are winning. Then when times get tough he is in the back of the line ready to push everyone else into the street for that on coming bus.

    How can you even argue that? Lebron was better than them in just about every statistical category.

    I don't blame him for leaving if he felt the team wasn't going to get him to the promised land. I feel bad for a guy like Trout if the Halos are unable to get him to the world series during his career.

    I think he is the best player in the NBA today, my only issue was the interview and the way he went about going to Miami. In retrospect it was a smart decision on his part, I don't think anyone can deny that.

    A matter of loyalty vs personal goals, I think he found a nice balance between the both.

    He is a different breed of player and I think many are still judging based on players long past. I see him as a bit of a crybaby and selfish at times but I respect that he wants to be the best at his profession and also that he actually does have his own plan for attaining his goals. Naturally he needs others to work within his parameters or cater to him as OP says in order to succeed.

    Ultimately everyone wants to make it to the top, do you act selfish and stubborn or do you follow the man with the blueprints?

    Lebron got 109 first-place votes.

    Dirk got zero.

    Shady, you're out of your element here. Go watch a Borat marathon.

    Lebron probably is working on starting up a new NBA franchise as we speak so he can get 8 All star players to sign so he can claim another NBA championship

    What's the difference in college schools that recruit the best talent possible to build a juggernaut? As stated in the thread many others have done this before Lebron. I don't care about his political views or what he does with his own time, on the court though Im looking to win a championship at all costs and I think he gives me the best chance in the current NBA. I like the Warriors alot but looking just at an indvidual player, it has to be Lebron.

    The only NBA Finals Lebron should have won that he lost, was against the Mavericks his first year in Miami. The other 3 loses were no surprise to me.
