    AD might be piling on the stat sheet but he won't go far in the playoffs...

    He must learn alot, gain leadership, expand his game more, .......

    A long long way to go and along the way hope that his GM get him some badass role players to play with

    sure he must learn a lot he's only 22 and in his third year in the league. And his supporting cast is not to be held against him. Even qualifying for the playoffs in the WEST with such a team is a miracle.
    What does the GM has to do with how good an individual player is?
    Right now he is better than Lebron even though he is out of the playoffs.

    Wow can't belive this thread is still going. OP will go down in the rah-tard hall of fame with Welvyn da Great.

    Except he will never even be close to Welvyn da Great's level.

    That makes Harden better how?

    Lebron could be one of the greatest to ever play the NBA whereas Harden hasn't achieved much other than being an offensive genius.

    Lebron prob still the best player, but he isnt indestructible anymore.

    There are legit cases for a few people gunning for number one in the world. Last year lebron and kd was in a another realm but some players now have the potential to peak past lebron

    What were Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving's win shares like last year? Feel free to post their advanced metrics without LeBron. If they were so good, and playing in a "JV" conference, how come they never made the playoffs until LeBron came home? For all the hype you're giving Kyrie, all he has to show for himself without LeBron is a couple of #1 picks and Dion Waiters lol.

    He's gotten to the point to where he knows how to pace himself in the regular season and turn it on in the playoffs. He will prolong his career this way. You can afford to take time off in the East.

    Not really sure what the year has to do with this. Maybe Lebron isnt 2013 Lebron but so what? 2015 Lebron is still better than 2015 anybody esp. Since AD is still too young and 2015 KD is injured. Why the **** wouldnt Lebron get 1st votes over Blake Griffin or whoever?

    Rather asking people why Lebron is better, why dont you prove first that Harden or Curry is better than lebron? Lebron is 6'8 and has proven to be a better defender than those two, he has championship exp, can play make, shoot and defend 1-5. He has also been to the Finals for the last 4 years. So the burden of proof should be on you since you are the one going against the grain here.

    Harden is already a better offensive player than LeBron. He will never come close defensively but he made some great plays last night.

    Lebron is still the best but he has lost a step or two and has done so rather quickly. I think by next season or for sure the season after it will be a mainstream opinion that he is no longer the best player in NBA.

    Anyone who says Anthony Davis is better than LeBron right now is just wrong. This is one of those weird hype things where everyone is desperate to find the next big thing.

    Davis is not better than LeBron or Durant currently.

    He may be soon, but too many people have crowned him too early.

    This exactly. I am the last person to defend LeBron since he left Miami, but he's still the best player in the league. MVP or not, he's the best, unfortunately.
