Ah right you are! Anyway, a lot of similarities if you compare the teams. The Kings had the balanced team with no real MVP candidates (Webber/Peja/Vlade vs George/Stephenson/Hibbard) while the Lakers had the top-heavy team without as much balance (Lebron/Wade/Bosh vs Shaq/Kobe/Fisher .. j/k about Fisher). Rigging aside, that WCF was a great series so hopefully we'll get something similar for the ECF.
Lebron is the most dominate player because of his physically abilities and lebron is a better passer. Paul George better shooter, better catch and shoot shooter, better turnaround jumper, knows how to play off the ball, better footwork.
Just like how Kobe has more skills than Lebron...but doesn't mean Kobe is better than Lebron. Lebron is probably the most dominate player since Shaq. We all know SHAQ wasn't the most skilled center, but because of his physically gifts he is one of the MOST dominate centers ever. (along with Wilt).
LeBron is one of the most skilled players ever. Don't let the athleticism fool you. This guy would be in the league if he was 6'3. What makes him one of the best players ever is putting all of that skill in a true NBA body. Stats don't agree with you as far as the shooting goes either. LeBron has been tremendous from all over the court. Compare: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01/shooting/2014/ to http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/georgpa01/shooting/2013/ Look at the efg% at various ranges. LeBron is better at every range.
Apparently Sager gets so much ass, dude has the best life just flying around interviewing peeps hahahaha Spoiler for size
Jason Kidd never learned how to shoot and he's a first ballot HOFer. LeBron has all of Kidd's skill but a much better scoring game regardless of his shot (which has never been terrible, just not elite until recently). I can't believe how much LeBron is underrated everywhere. He has four MVPs (should have five or six) and not a single one is even debatable. This guy could very well go down as the greatest player ever. BTW, I am not a Heat fan or particularly a LeBron fan. I just recognize talent, and it kind of disgusts me as a basketball purists how people even consider it a competition between LeBron and George or LeBron and Kobe etc.
Wait... I didn't really just read somebody say Paul George's skill > Lebron's skill, right? RIGHT????
Clippy and about shooting...how many of lebron's jumpers are wide open? probably 8 out of 10 of his jumpers are wide open because of his physical ability to get in the lane and lay it up or dunk. Defense get up on paul george or kobe because of their shot making abilty.
LeBron's jumpers are primarily open because he's smart. A contested jumper is one of the dumbest shots you can take. We don't know if LeBron can continually hit shots with guys right in his face because he's not dumb enough to make that kind of thing a big part of his game. I don't get the argument that hitting a shot in someone's face is "skill", since from what I understand,"skill" is usually correlated with basketball IQ (isn't that what everyone says about Kobe and his magnificent footwork?)
He is the most talented player probably EVER...but talent does not mean skills and fundamentals. let me say it in a simple way. Forget paul george lets go with KOBE and LEBRON....1) Who do I think is more skilled as a basketball player? Kobe. 2) Who do i think is better or who would want on my team. Lebron
