Exactly. Judging by their careers at the age of 24 I probably would take Lebron too not knowing how MJ would have turned out with a Pippen.That is if I'm building a team with a weak supporting cast.
I don't understand this either. I just gone done arguing with somebody that claimed LeBron is overrated and is a "choker" for missing those FT's. Basically, the dude was trying to act like LeBron lost that game. Way to conveniently ignore the nearly 50 points on only 30 shots, 8 assists, a late AND-1 that would have ended it if not for Rashard's jumper binge and the fact that he's carrying one of the best PER's in NBA postseason history.
Lebron James shot 6 of 10 from the FT line, and Cleveland lost by 1 point. That is the bottom line. If you are supposedly the best player in the NBA (which he's not, Kobe is), that is a choke.
Lebron can and will will this team to a 2008-2009 championship. Who's gonna beat them. The Magic had one excellent game, but can Dwight keep this up. Can Van Gundy really shake the Master of Panic label againest the leagues best player. The Cavs are still a better team. The Magic rely way too much on the three and thier defenseve is not great. The Nuggets are filled with players low on basketball IQ. They are fake hustle and fake toughness The Lakers team is soft, and they take off games. Lamar Odom is just terrible and will do something dumb. They don't seem to have the chemistry. The Cavs have shown a commitment to defense, not today, but they should come out strong next few games. If Dwight Howard can consistently drop thirty on the Cavs; he's the best center period. I just don't think he can keep it up. His shot is akward
THANK YOU SIR, JEEZ Michael Jordan is the GOAT but I wonder if some of these people talking about Mike even watched him play, Lebron definately has a legitimate chance at catching and surpassing mike. "I hate when people talk about lebron in the same breath as micheal jordan" So you must hate jerry west right?
Michael Jordan also entered the NBA at age 21 or 22. Lebron entered at 18. You can't compare age, to NBA seasons.
It's a shame that Boozer had to weasel out of Cleveland. I think that would have been a pretty solid duo once Boozer got healthy. (yes, I personally can't stand him as a Rockets fan, but he'd be a nice fit with LeBron).
I don't understand, were Shaq and Wilt chokers in nearly every game they ever played? If LeBron misses two of his field goals and hits 4 more free throws, would the outcome of the game be different?
Jordan is the GOAT, but don't bash Lebron because he existed. Enjoy LeBron James. He is a gift to this league
But seriously it hurts that my favorite player ever lost this game but, mo williams, delonte west and big z havent shot this bad all year and it wont happen again.
Naturally,there were others like Horace Grant,Cartwright,Rodman,Paxson etc but Pippen was the second best player on those teams. I know he quit on us,but at his peak he was a high class complimentary star.
He was 21. LeBron entered the league at age 19. That record I posted represents his first 4 years in the league. Jordan reached the Finals for the first time and starting winning championships in year 7.
Numbers are nice and all but you missed the point of the post. Fade as in he will be too physically taxed to carry them by the end of the game. Had he not been tired, I am almost certain he would have gone hard to the rim and finished hard on last couple of plays, especially the final play with Howard having fouled out. Tire him out and Lebron will be less efficient. Pretty simple. Lebron going to the rim, scoring and drawing fouls is much more dangerous than Lebron kicking out to his jumpshooters. Magic will live with those other bums taking those last shots anyday.
Big Z looks bad against dwight though, but I dont think dwight is really the key, because he was owning and the magic was still down 12
You've individually asked posters this 100 times in some obsessed way to reassure yourself that Yao is the better player. Move on, buddy.
