Kobe's a broken-down 33 year old who is showing his wear and tear from carrying a franchise through his prime. He's done his work. His run is over. Like Tiger Woods, he will never experience that pinnacle moment again.
LeBron's run is just beginning. Let's see how many he gets. It's just premature to talk trash about that when A) LeBron still doesn't have a single ring yet, and B) you're bagging on a guy past his prime who's already proven his worth as a champion five times over.

Lebron can win the next 5 years in a row and he is still no MJ
When you have 3 of the 4 best players on the court on your team you should win.

When Lebron makes his jumpers, no one is stopping him. He's been clutch ever since he stepped foot in this league.

if LeBron played how DRose did in the 4th quarter this series everyone would be calling him a choke.
Instead LeBron makes literally every clutch shot, makes key steals, key passes, and GUARDS THE NBA MVP (who was something like 2-14 when LBJ was guarding him) and people are still complaining.
final minutes has 3 3's, game winning 2, a steal from the MVP and blocks the MVP.
please people if kobe did this everyone would be on his junk. Give it up. The combination of best player in the world and now he is clutch...my god this is scary

I think people are probably giving Rose a free pass to a certain extent because he's 22 years old and doesn't have guys like Wade backing him up.
LeBron should be in the prime of his career and should be, at this age, doing what he's doing. Kobe's too old, Rose is too young -- LeBron's at the ripe point in his career.

Didn't matter with Lebron. Remember this is his first year with Wade and Bosh. He caught sh!t in all his years as a Cav.

Well, a lot of that was because he was and still is an absolute freak of nature. He's probably only rivaled by Wilt and Magic in that department in terms of something the NBA's never seen before.
D-Rose isn't anything or anywhere near close to that.

Yeah. It is lose lose for Lebron. If he wins, it will be "he should of". If he loses, it will be "he should of".

Price you pay for being the best and not having any hardware to back it up.
If he reels off 3-4 titles, the haters will shut up.

That's what happens when you bring together 3 of the top 10 scorers from the past year together...you should be favored to win. No other MVP of the league leaves his team to join two other top 10 scorers. Lebron has done everything in the off season to try to guarantee a ring. He knew that the NBA would eat it right up when he came up with the idea for the "super friends" to come together in the prime of their careers.
Now his excuse is that Boston had the "blueprint" LOL. Pierce, Garnett and Allen were all in their 11th plus years in the league, not in their mid twenties.

Ok so lets get this straight:
LeBron had a choice to go anywhere he wanted to:
he diminished his brand
went to a city with traditionally terrible fans
took less money
gave up his spot as "the man" to share the ball
all so that he could win a ring
isn't winning rings what us fans emphasize the most?
and people hate him because he chose to go in that direction. No matter what he does he can't win. He could be the most famous person in the world in New York and put up better numbers....PEOPLE STOP HATING

Would of been that way if he stayed in Cleveland. No matter what he does, the Haters flock.

Yep. That is the only way the Heat win.
If you think that is true, then put your life savings on the Heat.

Can you imagine him mastering his fade away which is pretty good right now?
Fade away a la Jordan, facilitator a la Magic, defense a la Ben Wallace and NOW his own repetoire of clutch 3's during crunch time.
He is the future of NBA. Period.

1) Tiger Woods is done? The guy is in his 30s and plays GOLF not BASKETBALL. He's got 25 years left of golf.
2) Lebron is a top 3 closer in the playoffs, the regular season means nothing.
3) Lebron is 26, its premature to make remarks like he's not as good as kobe when its clear Lebron will win at least 3 championships over the next 10 years. obviously kobe shits on him all time, but lebron is the best player in the world currently
