King James, the most overRated player in the league?

not overrated.

he's 22 years old and the Cavs wouldn't even be an Eastern playoff team without him.

Pistons are a legitimate contender IMO and he pretty much carried the Cavs over them.

he's much better than Richard Jefferson.

 

He is good, but not the best player in the league, like some people says.

 

Worst...

Ever...

I think most of Lebron haters here don't really hate Lebron, it's just an overreaction to all the media attention that he has received over the years

 

The guy is a stud, but you are correct that the Rockets would be in the finals if they were an Eastern team...that conference sucks a donkey ball.

 

Lebron is already the second most talented scorer in this league (behind Kobe), and he's only 22. He single-handedly beat a great Pistons team. And he's not yet hit his peak. Lebron is NOT overrated.

 

Lebron is pretty good. I think you need to step back and realize that he's only going to get better.

Plus Jordan didn't his 1st championship to much later.

 

King James is good. Tmac is GREAT.

Tmac >>>>> Lebron James

 

The media has definitely overhyped him, and i feel that even LeBron has bought into it himself.

I see LeBron as Shaq when he came into the league, freakish athletic talent, amazing power and speed and the world at their knees praising a flawed, incomplete player.

I only hope Lebron really works on his game over the next few seasons and realises his full potential, at least he works to keep in shape, that's a good start.

As for this series, the Cavs suck and this only goes to show that one player cannot carry a team of scrubs and a sorry coach to a championship.

 

Why is that so many people on this site just can't give lebron his due? Sure he's overhyped, that's always been the case, but if you think he's not an MVP caliber player or worthy of mention in the best player discussion you are nuts.

Just because the Spurs have more talent by far doesn't diminish the fact that LeBron has taken a rag tag team to the finals and beat a more talented team in detroit, and you could argue new jersey has more talent as well. As a Horn, I love Boobie's coming out party, but when he legitmately deserves consideration as the cavs 2nd best player, you know lebron has no help.

And to anyone who thinks t-mac is better, get the red homer glasses off ASAP. T-Mac doesn't beat the pistons in the conf finals with that team. T-Mac doesn't will his team to win game 5 like LeBron did.

 

None of those players would have taken lebron's cavs to the finals by beating detroit except wade. Little better than Richard Jefferson? Give me a break, LeBron is a top 5 player in the league, Jefferson is a nice role player.

I mean what is similar between those two players? That they both play SF? LeBron is bigger, more aggressive, has much better court awareness and passing skills, makes teammates better and plays better defense when he focuses on it.

edit: didn't see wade listed

 

i don't think he is overrated i think the media just makes too big of a deal of him and what he does or does not do

 

I hate people that think a 22 year old who has already brought his team the the NBA FINALS is overrated. He is a great player, one of the best in the league. He got through every team in the east. Detroit was considerd a very good team until the cavs beat them. Jamesis not overrated, he is good.

He makes his teammates better with passing and they elevate their game in his presence. Do you have any idea how rare of a quality that is?! I thought he was overrated too. Until this season.

Lebron isnt even the most overrated player in the SERIES! Like I said in the other thread, Tony Parker is overrated. He doesnt extend the defense he doesnt make his teammates better.

And yes. Ill put the pic of him back up too.

 

all you have to say is that you hate lebron.

dont hate the game my friend. He is that good. Look at the road the 94 rockets took to get to the finals. at the time hakeem was the only recognizable player outside of texas.

He will be a great player when its all said and done. You are going to have to deal with it.

This sounds like a personal problem to me.
Worthless thread

 

Uh, you called him only a little better than jefferson. You didn't say he has a similar style to jefferson but is a lot better. If you think lebron is only a little better than jefferson, you need to watch a lot more basketball.

Jefferson can't create his own shot, and doesn't have the playmaking skills of lebron. They aren't remotely in the same stratosphere as a player.

The only thing that is similar about them is they that both are more comfortable slashing and scoring inside.
