LeBron is the best basketball player ever.

[play4win]

lebum got owned by old kobe on all star! lol! way overrated!

[Kermit]

I hate Lebron more than anyone, but c'mon, it's nothing more than a scrimmage game. If Lebron wanted to take over the game, I am sure that he could have, but he knew it was a team effort full of superstars.

Are you kidding right now? LeBron went for it late and got his ass handed to him tonight. Kobe bitched his ass.

With the above being true and accurate........LeBron is the best player in the world at the moment and it's not really all that close.

Missed the game but this is from the USA Today

Kobe Bryant shuts out LeBron James as things get testy

HOUSTON — When old man Kobe Bryant neared the end of Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game at the Toyota Center, it had long since been established that this would not be among the many vintage performances of his 15 times on this stage.
The way it finished, on the other hand, was vintage Kobe in every way.

Bird averaged more points and rebounds in his 9th year than LeBron is this year, his 9th.

[raiders72001]

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Larry Bird risked bumps, bruises and sometimes worse whenever he dared to attack the rim against the "Bad Boy" Detroit Pistons or Patrick Ewing's New York Knicks. He wouldn't have had it any other way. The Boston Celtics star took his share of hits, delivered a few and considered it all just part of the game. The Indiana Pacers president still loves the NBA, even though he feels it has gone a bit soft with rules changes designed to promote a crowd-pleasing style that puts an emphasis on scoring. A lot. "Every meeting I go to, they talk about scoring," he told The Associated Press with a chuckle. "Everything is geared toward the offense. My solution to that? Just start everybody off at 20 to 20 and play the game the way it's supposed to be played." Changes over the past decade have opened things up and it's more like a league-wide fast break than it has been in years. Last season, teams averaged more than 100 points per game for the first time since the 1994-95 season.

Exactly. LeBron is the best player in the World at the moment and it's not even close.

[mcduggly]

yup that's right LeBrock was even scared to take a last second shot in the f'n all-star game

MJ was always ready for a challenge, ready to defeat it, no matter what... not afraid. #eminem

Exactly, it's a "f'n all-star game", so why would he be expected to take the last shot? The initial play out of the in-bounds was drawn up for Deron Williams, it's obvious. You're an idiot and arguments are just as stupid. It's a fukkin all-star game, not a playoff game.

its too easy to rile up all these LeBron guys that only popped up and started talking after last June

its a good thing at this pt in time that the Heat have barley any competition in the East each year due to injuries to other teams and the NBA won't allow the Pacers to get to the Finals ...guy is getting basically free trips to the Finals now and like last year the refs will be all over the Heat... and it still took a young, dumb OKC team with Harden MIA last year for them to win

u gonna get mad and respond to this one too?

Lebron is bigger, stronger, faster & a better ball handler. When Jordan was in highschool he was probably considered between a 4star & 5 star player never really highlighted, Lebron was top news since his sophmore year and a coveted #1 draft choice.

All this nonsense about only kids who never saw Jordan play & Jordan has more rings is laughable. It should be obvious to all rational fans that lebron when his career is over will have been the greatest hoop player. #2 can be debated between Wilt & Jordan.

Most rings is a big joke, the greatest baseball player of the last 75 years had exactly 0 rings. Yogi Berra a great Hall of Famer has the most I think 10 and is not considered even in the top 20 of all time.

I'm a Lebron hater, but the guy has taking over the league.

You engage in the debate and don't expect me to comment back? Sweet dude. Your comments are so stupid that I have to anyways.

Yea, people NEVER talked about until last June. Stupid comment, people have been all over him since high school.

You're saying back when Jordan was playing, there weren't injuries? No star player ever got injured and made it difficult every year for Jordan to win his rings? The Heat beat some great teams last year, including the Thunder even though Harden was shutdown. And how are they dumb? That doesn't even make sense.

I'm sure the NBA is completely rigged and keeps the Pacers out of the championship. Another stupid comment. You think Pacer players are purposely having shots roll around the rim and fall just off or purposely having opposing teams make tough shots?

And I'm not mad, you just don't know what you're talking about.

sorry but NBA is only 5 starters on the court at a time... much less than football or baseball. championships mean more in basketball. LeBron is 1-2. can't be the best when you fold in the clutch. He can win 3 more and be 4-2 and it still will look terrible vs Jordan, same for Kobe and his 2 embarrassing Finals performances vs Celtics... blown away in elimination game and when they lost to detroit with malone,payton,shaq kobe. lol

Jordan is GOAT

anyone who likes LeBron and says he will be in time... come back in 8-10 years and try again. MJ even took off years in his prime. Could have won 8 in a row

Not talking about people just TALKING and HYPING about him... you think I don't know? Kid, I live an hour from Akron. You are the one who doesn't know.

I'm talking about people all of a sudden wanting to compare him to Jordan all of a sudden after he only won his FIRST FINALS... and it took 3 tries. LeBron is a failure. He has all the gifts and he wasted year after year by not developing his game fully in Cleveland and whining year after year that he needed more help. Then when he had the teams and 60+ wins in reg season he still went shit mode in the playoffs in crunch time.

where was jordan his first 6 seasons in the league? how about his last couple years in college? Weird huh? weird how he started winning the second he got the greatest coach ever and a hall of famer to play next to him isnt it? he was at the exact same spot as lebron when he was lebrons age (other then the fact that lebron was able to take a team of bums to the finals by himself, something jordan couldnt do)

you mean kinda like how jordan couldnt do shit without help? lebron was still in the finals.. where was jordan? oh yea, at home watching

you're comparing the 80s when the Lakers and Celtics had teams full of HOF players... not to mention the bad boys in Detroit, and asking why Jordan and nobodies didn't win the Finals? Jordan gets to the Finals, he wins.

this guy actually likes the fact that the Cavs got past 1 real team in the East in the Pistons by 1 fluke LeBron game and then a guy named Boobie Gibson going off in the clincher... not even LeBron himself lol

and going to get their asses swept out of the Finals? good accomplishment

[dlunc3]

3 more mvps with 3/4 rings total, and lebron will have taken over as the goat... not to mention that he could easily be the all time leading scorer.. and not to mention the monster assist and rebound numbers to go along with it... he has the body to last

those who think lebron doesnt at least have the potential to be the goat are delusional... unless injuries kill his career, odds are in his favor to be the greatest... all the guy does is continue to get better while already has all the gifts needed

so just a coincidence that he wins the second scottie and phil show up huh? were those same powerhouses around in jordans later college yrs when he couldnt do shit by himself? the guy had the greatest #2 in the league, the greatest coach in the league, the greatest shooter in the league, the greatest euro in the league, and the greatest rebounder in the league lol the team won 50 games WITHOUT him. Put and of the stars of today on that team, and they have multiple rings as well

you can have more stats boy. what counts is the guys who win always when it counts. Jordan will always be the NBA's GOAT. people will remember Jordan when they have forgotten LeBron.

[dlunc3]

jordan lost three years in a row in the first round... something that lebron has never done even once.. where was that killer mentality all those years?

[dlunc3]

yea, guess three straight first round exits didnt count huh?

[dlunc3]

bulls won 8 more games without jordan then they did with him... that team was absolutely stacked.. all jordan though right?

[dlunc3]

you have nothing to say--- blah blah blah-- he has 6 rings right? congrats.. carmello anthony would have 6 rings with those teams too... 3 more rings and 3 more mvps, lebron will be leagues ahead of him, and there wont even be a question about it ... and barring injury, that is very doable

[ThaTopMoron]

jordan lost three years in a row in the first round... something that lebron has never done even once.. where was that killer mentality all those years?

i can play this dumb game too... LeBron... took him 3 years to even sniff a playoff series

edit: my bad.... Jordan was in the playoffs as a rookie

well for one thing 1982 through 1985 were the four best years in the history of college basketball...three of which were jordan's career...jordan got in foul trouble against indiana in 84 and that was that...didnt help that kenny smith was hurt most of the year but whatever....thats the nature of college hoops...one misstep and youre out...that might have been the most loaded tourney ever...he was still poy

as for pippen...did you ever watch a bulls game before jordan's first hiatus? every other bull including pippen was a role player in crunch time...jordan carried them on his shoulders

as for the team of bums lebron took, the teams they beat to get there were bigger bums...the east was horrid that year....howd cleveland do in the finals that year?

tell us about the 2010 playoffs and the 2011 finals

tell me about the three straight years of first round exits for jordan?

who knows if lebron will end up being better or not... but it is delusional to think that the guy doesnt have great potential to do so

he just keeps getting better and is going to go down with the best stats and personal trophy case of all time.. but will the rings be there? tough to say.. but gotta think the potential is there..

it is too early to judge, but foolish to not think it could happen

i guess youre late to the party

[ThaTopMoron]

LeBron better have more stats when he is done playing... he hasn't missed most of a season due to injury yet, as Jordan did in his second year. Then you have MJ's 2 retirements, more missed time. Oh, and he actually played in college... even more missed time. LeBron will have 6+ more years playing time. Too bad he won't have the college legacy or the total overall impact that Jordan had not just on the league, but in sports itself. Shoe deals... sports drink deals, all that stuff.... all started by Jordan. LeBron... hey! I had a nationally televised TV debacle the year I ditched the Cavs as a sellout and a quitter on the court
