    Of swagg.

    LeBron's always been lameish.

    Wade relies on flopping and refs, not exciting.

    Harden's one dimensional and complacent.

    Watching Goerge... it just feels right. Like the very first time. The way he moves, his hunger to take the big shot, the versatility, the haircut; he's got the MJ thing down.

    I think it's time to make it official - we're looking at the next big thing.

    PG is a SF

    And I like how you left out Durant and Westbrook

    Who cares? This is about swaggg. Can you even pronounce it, use your belly.

    Durant not a will imposer. He's not going to be the best defensive and offensive player on the court. Cares about his FG% too much to take the shots MJ and Kobe did.

    Westbrook is in the Pippen mold, great, but not the guy night in and night out.

    LeBran is the most talented but not cut from the same cloth mentally. He's just an athletic freak and doesn't strike anyone as a swaggmaster.

    Kobe was the oldest guy on team USA but taking on the toughest defensive assignments.

    He modeled for GQ Italy.

    Lebron takes the best guy defensively in the playoffs (at ANY POSITION) and has been the best guy offensively.

    Kobe's whole career he chose when he felt like playing D, and he'd slack on D ALL THE TIME because he always had help behind him (Bynum, Gasol, Shaq).

    The "swagg" comparision may be true, but you have to be kidding me if you think Kobe was always the best DEFENSIVE player on the floor, the NBA fed his legacy by giving him all D 1st teams that he DEFINITELY did NOT deserve.

    Kobe had lockdown ability and that's what matters. Why should he waste energy and play D in the 3rd when Luke and sasha are tripping over their shoelaces. Maybe some awards were undeserved, but reputation comes with the tenacity he showed off the court working on his game and desire to win.

    LBJ has all around ability but Miami is a boring situation for someone created (in a league of athletic freaks) to be the best bball player. Not in the same tier of competitive streak, style and swagg. Lameish.

    I see George ascending to the throne within a year.

    You want swag? Westbrook got more swag than all the guys you mentioned. Dude plays with Durant and he thinks he;s better than Durant.

    Also OP, Lebron > Kobe. That is getting clearer as each year passes by. George's goal should be to be the heir to Lebron's throne.

    Kobe's Throne sits inside a big brick castle he built himself.

    REALLY??? You have the gall to say "It's official". Who you, in the first place?

    Let's see the match-up between IND and HOU first before pronouncing any judgment?

    Ronny I doubt Paul George is a switch hitter so I'm thinking you're out of luck.

    You're trolling right? Showing a desire to shoot 100 shots a game should be =/= defensive 1st team.

    Kobe had lockdown ability but RARELY used it if ever.

    Kobe has had the BEST CENTERS IN THE GAME around him his whole damn career. Honestly replace Kobe with Allen Iverson, and AI has 5 titles.

    Nothing against Kobe, he is a great player, but ESPN's hype machine has made him out to be way better than he actually is.

    Your hate for Kobe consumes you. Not going to spoon feed a guy who thinks AI and Kobe are similar.

    More importantly, this thread is about George - I see it as my duty to lay down the law.

    To impose my will on this forum and let you know about the changes going on. It's an important metric to use when determining a players ability. You won't see a swaggman running away to wade's arms or deferring for 8 years.
