No, it has nothing to do with betting. I'm saying that there has never been a talent equal to LeBron James.

ever heard of larry bird?

easyliving · 02-12-13, 12:57 AM

guy is a freak of nature. he is having his best season yet. if he continues like this and wade stays healthy they got absolutely no competition. as far as the best ever its still too early to decide on that but at this rate their is no doubt he can be. you look at his first 2 years in Miami he was taking alot of jump shots not shooting a high percent now he makes smarter decisions on when to shoot and doesn't settle for jump shots. It is something else watching him drive to the rim and as often as he drives to the rim you would think he might get hurt but the way he is built no chance of that happening either. Enjoy watching the guy in his prime because we are witnessing history.

i used to hate on lebron until he went off on the celts at td last year in the conference finals....didnt think he had it in him...i cant wear my "lebron is a bitch" t with pride anymore

that being said larry bird or kevin mcchale>lebron

If Lebron get six rings, I think he will be the best NBA player ever. But I don't see Lebron getting no more than 4 rings, which will be good enough to say he's better than Kobe since Kobe got his first 3 rings with Shaq as the main dude.

Jordan will remain Goat because Lebron will never get 5 rings, which I think will be equivalent to MJ six rings.

Even with 4 rings I have no problem putting him ahead of Jordan. Jordan had much more talented teams than Lebron has had so far. Lets not forget Lebron took a crap Cleveland team to the Nba finals. Who was the 2nd best player on that team after Lebron? Once he left Cleveland they were back to being the worst team in the league. Jordan leaves Bulls their still a playoff team, Pippen, Rodman,Kukoc, Grant are the first guys that come to my mind who were all stellar players and played major roles for Jordan.

agreed...i see the younger generation kids like 23-27 think the same thing.....thats fine....cant fault them...they didnt get to witness things in the same light....i mean even they dont understand kobe patterned his whole aura around jordan.....but thats just how it is....they didnt see games on nbc with marv and john tesh's roundball rock

jordan had much more talented teams than lebron??? cmon man....ok....some of lebrons cleveland teams ya....maybe ok lebron didnt ha...ve a pippen....but what else was around jordan was the equivalent basically....and lebron had to have d wade and bosh(who did the damage in game 7) to beat an old celts team that was depleted depthwise....if the celts had j green, a bradley, and wilcox i think they win that series

russiaboss · 02-12-13, 01:21 AM

My opinion Wilt Chamberlain is the best ever. At age 36 played every game during the season and averaged 18.6 rebounds his final year. 22.9 Career. Only center in NBA history to lead the league in assists (702 in 1967-68). Averaged 50.4 PPG in 1961-62. Never fouled out in his career.

FindTheLock · 02-12-13, 01:22 AM

anyone who says Lebron is better than Jordan is either a knicks fan, or a teenager.

JayLA · 02-12-13, 01:26 AM

Lebron James is a monster athlete. I'm glad he's smart enough to excel in basketball. We're all loving his time here...even if we'll have to watch him play in another jersey soon.

Hating on him is one of those things.....you do it just because but come on....COME ON lol

Yes but if Lebron continues the way he is going he will be the best without question..........

As far as Kobe,he is no where near Jordan and his career is all but over...........

alan.mcconnell · 02-12-13, 01:54 AM

Lebron is not in the same category as him and this is coming from a Lebron fan.

The Kraken · 02-12-13, 01:57 AM

What do Jordan and Kobe have in common? Neither ever won a ring without Phil Jackson..

lebron is the greatest ever

Good point but it is not the game changer,

LeBron's career will speak for itself............

jsmithj88 · 02-12-13, 02:02 AM

y is it that lebron needs to win more titles than jordan or kobe for him to be better?
we know MJ was the best of all time yet 7 people have won more titles than him
how come bill russell isnt the greatest? hes got almost twice as many titles as jordan ....
is lebron the greatest of all time? no.
gonna have to wait to see how his career pans out

excellent use of a logical fallacy. Kevin garnett never needed Phil jackson either, so he will go down as the GOAT along with every other player who never won with Phil. There are a lot of GOAT's with that logic.

FindTheLock · 02-12-13, 02:06 AM

Let do another one. If Phil Jackson is the coach, then no player on his team could be the best player of all time; in fact, with phil at the helm, there is no need for any other team to even try, because it is a forgone conclusion that Phil Jackson will win the championship if he is the coach. He could coach a team full of retarded midgets to a finals victory, because Phil is just that good.

JayLA · 02-12-13, 02:07 AM

Its real simple to me: wade told lebron...do you want to take over the world? Bron said "kay"......I trust lebron will leave when his situation isnt +EV....ok he's still a fuckin beast. Girl friend of our recently said, "youre all gay for him...." we kinda looked at her like, you just dont understand. Lmao!

With all due respect, keep comparing times...see how far that gets you.

These leagues want change as much as most of us do. Hanging on is futile....

Broncos · 02-12-13, 02:18 AM

Speaking of good/great coaches how about the guy in JayLA's avatar. He was pretty good. Please don't mention Kevin McHale when talking about the greatest of all time, it is crazy talk.

I am from Cleveland, so I naturally lost a lot of respect for him for obvious reasons, but anybody that disagrees with him being the best player the NBA has ever seen is clueless. This guy is amazing and on a completely different level than anybody else in a league that is bigger, stronger, and faster than it ever has been. He could literally score every time he drives to the basket, and I think he's starting to show that with these past 5 or so games.

dumbass OP... let's see his 1 finals win in 3 tries try and play in the late 80s and 90s with the way defense was allowed to play then.

past 5 games or so.... MJ had a stretch where he had 10 triple doubles in 11 games and in that other game, only 3 assists shy of a triple double

5 game stretch = goat... SBR

LeBron has taken more games off and played lightly in just his Miami Heat days than MJ did in his career... you know, those games where the Heat lose to the Wizards and such. Guy can't go hard for 82 game season... try and touch 72-10 LeBron

JayLA · 02-12-13, 02:32 AM

Its always the same shit ...we refuse to deal with change.

How can any basketball fan claim he isnt the best they've seen? I dont get it.

He's shitting on your perception and laughing at it. You think this guy doesnt know the game better than most of us?

Come on!

JayLA · 02-12-13, 02:37 AM

Fukkin guy has been on two pro teams yet every mothurfukker has something to say about him.

Its so funny how people say Jordan made the league what it is... ppl are so clueless, go watch old film of James worthy playing for the lakers you could say the same thing. Lebron is def the best athlete ever to play but to put him above Jordan and a few others is crazy.

The Kraken · 02-12-13, 02:49 AM

Jordan was great but Nike helped Jordan become the best ever. Because we all know the best ever is pure speculation and lots of imagination.
