Of course he is going to say that, I am sure he doesn't really feel that way. He just needs to maintain his image.
What do you want him to say? I don't agree, and he may not even believe it, but when you're the former MVP, a no.1 overall, and the face of a big franchise with high expectations, you have to say stuff like that. Fans and teammates aren't going to be too happy if you're going in with a losing attitude.
Lebron plays a different position, and yes right now he's the best in the nba. BUT, if Rosé gets back to his old self, you'd have a hard time arguing against rose as number 1.
Hey, there's this guy named LeBron James. I believe he plays for the Miami Heat. You should check him out some time, apparently he's legit...
I'm sure everyone from James Harden to Damian Lillard thinks that they're the best. You have to have that mentality to make it to the pros along with supreme confidence. Whether you state it publicly is up to you.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even i can say that I am the best basketball player in the world but doesn't make it true.
DRose goes down with an injury for a year and ppl seem to forget how great he was. He has all the tools: athletic freak, good shooter, magnificent finisher, and probably the fastest guy in the nba. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/e04uyfgVgjY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> He obviously doesn't have the resume like Lebron but if he can get back to his old self there's no doubt in my mind he's off to multiple MVPs and possibly championships.
