    For some odd reason you keep asking me this. Can you please show us the post where I mentioned my love for PER?

    Your next post alludes to me thinking LeBron is in the GOAT convo. Can you please show us the post where I noted that he should be in the GOAT convo? I'm assuming there would also be some post with me making a link between him belonging in the GOAT convo due to his high PER?

    I don't think these posts exist but since you keep bringing them up I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard to find if they do, since you must be pretty confident you read it somewhere to continue to post this in multiple threads. Or you can admit maybe you have the wrong dude or are full of manure. Your choice.

    Thats bc Lebron James is not too worried about marketing in Japan, hes more focused on the big china bucks. Remember, Kevin Durant, Kobe, are all signed inNike..who do they feature all the time? LBJ, he has the most exposure for a reason and I think Nike is not around this long to be dumb.
    Kobe is a rapist, shaq is a dumb big man, and dwade is lebron's side kick
    none of them compare to LBJ in marketing

    LBJ and MJ are in their own levels, and MJ as shown by the toher post on his hall of fame is just a jerk and a bad teammate. Lebron is as good and going to be better on the court(check hollinger,PER), he is a better teammate, and just a good nice person overall(see the state farm commecrials?)

    As shown by that picture, the biggest of the big from Warren buffet, Jayz hang out with lebron, no other players have that access
    Look, MJ had hate when he was around in the 90s, when you are the greatest to lace htem up with a flawless game like lebron and just hte lifestyle everyone wish they could have and the person everyone wish they were, yet hes still down to earth, humble, and a good teammate, then you are going to get picked on. He said it himself, he spoield people and so that makes him a target and in the end of the day, they go back to their lives, and he keeps rising to the be the best in the world and in the history and raising his celeb status

    I am not going to say most marketable player ever that is MJ, but he is pretty marketable. His decision special outdrew an NFL game.

    LOL, that's the same case in China. LeBron cannot hold Kobe's jockstrap there. We knew what happened in 2008 Olympics. And last few years only solidifies it.

    i hope for his sake that he isn't. many of these lebron nuthuggers sound like they are about 12 years old. "he's a nice guy. see the commercials? he is ballin. see the photos?"

    lebron is a very talented player. i also drank the kool-aid and thought he would surpass mj and make cleveland what chicago was during mj's time. in fact when his high school clips started emerging i was stoked because i thought finally the next mj is here.

    but man has lebron disappointed. his numbers are great and he does a heck of a job in the regular season but at the end of the day it means very little unless he proves that his team can depend on him during crunch time and he wins some rings like he promised.

    i remember when durant won his scoring title and lebron was brushing it off like, "i can win it if i wanted to, but i don't care about that."
    and that is NOT the kind of attitude he needs in order to even think of being considered the GOAT. Vain players like Jordan and Kobe were constantly keeping track of their stats. That's why they will always be respected albeit maybe not liked.

    I'm still disappointed that Phil Jackson took Kobe out of the 81 point game. I wanted to see him get as close to Wilt's record as possible. Lebron doesn't have the motivation or the balls to do that sort of thing...yet.

    we have yet to see if he is going to finally understand that he needs to be a selfish prick and chase records as well as win games and championships. i would love to see him stat pad because i think he is capable of consistently putting up ridiculous numbers and win at the same time. who knows? maybe this will be the year that he finally wins.

    but he seems to have the attitude that he has plenty of time to do it later. that's a dangerous frame of mind because every year he gets older it will be harder and harder for his body to recover and if he gets injured then that could very well be the start of his downward spiral.

    "and then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."

    Bottom line, I'm no LeBeliever till I see some championships...

    Of course MJ only has six, and Kobe five...so almost there

    Bill Simmons on LeBron choking in finals
    http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7770130/handicapping-nba-mvp-race

    LeBron famously shrank from The Moment against Boston. A friend of mine sat right next to Miami's bench in Dallas during Game 4 of the Finals and told me the following story: If you remember, Dallas called timeout after Miami jumped to a seven-point lead with 10 minutes to play. The series looked like it was over, or headed that way, barring a semi-improbable comeback. Wade had been carrying them for this game and the previous one; now, the table was set for LeBron to bring them home. His teammates knew better than anyone.

    Here's how my friend remembers it: "They were excited in the huddle because they knew they were close (to finishing Dallas off). I was right there, I was sitting three feet away from their trainer. LeBron sat down and started chewing his fingers. I remember (assistant coach) Bob McAdoo and a few other bench guys kept coming over, slapping him on the shoulder and saying, 'Come on, Bron, take us home.' And he was just staring into space and chewing his nails. I remember AT THAT MOMENT wondering, 'How would MJ be right now?' I thought for sure LeBron would get fired up and feed off those guys. He looked like he wanted no part of it! So they go back out and Dallas starts coming back. Next timeout, same thing. 'Come on, Bron, take us home.' And he's staring into space and chewing his nails. I could see Wade's face. Remember, Wade played his ass off in those Dallas games. Wade had this look on his face like, 'Oh, **** me.' That was when I knew Dallas could win. I don't think LeBron has it in him. I will never forget watching that from that close. I feel like I witnessed history and actually felt that way as it was happening."

    LeChoke isn't as good as Kobe and Kobe isn't as good as Jordan, and only what happens in the Finals can change the order of those names.

    PS, it says a lot that LeChoke is now having to fight for a comparison to Kobe when everyone thought he'd eventually outshine Jordan, which we all now know is never going to happen.

    In case you missed me ask in post #902, can you please highlight my post where I state my love for PER? You keep mentioning this in threads for some reason.

    Well, LeBron nuthuggers have been using this for a long time. Hollinger invented it, and a lot of you have been following, Ashcoza has been using it in every post, just check the post above. Until you convince other LeBron nuthuggers in this forum that PER is a joke, it's just gonna stay that way.
