Lebron will never win any championship unless he changes his attitude!

He's the best player in the league; put him on the Lakers in place of Kobe and they win close to 70 games.

Will- Miami is Wade's team, his city, if Bron comes there, Wade will still be the captain.

Snowball- of course you can compare players from other eras. Stats are just a bunch of bullshit, don't look at stats, watch film of guys play in the 60s and 70s and then compare them to Bryant and Jordan (by the way way more shots taken in the past, higher scores, less defense, so inflated stats). There were guys like Big O, Russel, Magic, Kareem that would still be dominant with the likes of Bron, Wade, Kobe.

But the league is much different now- that players are much better, faster, stronger, more athletic, more skilled (a lot of people including Bob Cousey couldn't shoot for shit). If I took my skills back to the 60s I would be in the NBA I swear it- I've seen film of these "role players"-it's fukking pitiful- comparable to a D2 or D3 college team. That's another reason why superstars at that time got much better stats, there were about 15 dominant players in the league at that time, and today, there are at least nearly 5-10 dominant players at every position.

and in 50 or 60 yrs, today's stars will pale in comparison to what we have on earth then. you don't seem to get it. YOU CAN ONLY COMPARE PLAYERS TO OTHER PLAYERS IN THE ERA THEY PLAYED IN

Guys, Lebron was hurt. Hard to beat a great team when you are 70%. Even still, he had a triple double in the final game.

no- the competition will slowly decline. You won't see players like Jordan and Kobe for some time, with that tenacity, with the desire to win. Where anything short of a ring is a complete failure. The NBA is 50 years won't change much as it is today.

You just don't get it do you? There isn't much more you can do to revolutionize the game. Back then, basketball was just developing, guys couldn't hit jump shots, the league was a disgrace. The game has already been revolutionized. That's why each consecutive year, it changes less and less.

Compare how much the game changed from Gervin's days to Magic Johnson. A shit ton. Then compare Magic/Bird era to Jordan era- not that much of a change. Then compare the Jordan era to Kobe era- again, just a slight revolution. The league changes less and less every year.

Therefore, in 50 years, the league will be pretty much the same as it is today, except it'll probably be even more of a money-making entertainment business with less competitiveness. Players in 50 years will not be superior to players today for all these reasons.

You will never see a player like Lebron (size/strength/speed) ever again as long as the NBA exists.
