LOL, in May 1 Lebronze can be the best player. In June he can be the best Fishman. Why don't you ask them again in June? Oh wait. I didn't see any of them considering him a better player than Kobe. You big liar still didn't learn the lesson? "He's one guy in the league that I think he'll probably be better than all of us when it's all said and done." -- Larry Bird "LeBron reminds me of Oscar who controlled many facets of the game." --Dolph Schayes "His (basketball) IQ is one of the highest I've ever seen." --Bernard King "I don't know of any forward in the history of the game who has ever had his athletic skills and his attributes that he has." -- Jerry Lucas "His ability in the open court -- he reminds me so much when he goes to the basket of Julius Erving." -- Billy Cunningham "I haven't seen anybody like him. It's like Karl Malone out at the point running a team. Are you kidding? [laughs]" -- Julius Erving
mind posting a more RECENT article of what wade thinks. wade said this year lebron can win the MVP every year if he wants to and compares him to jordan. i posted that article numerous times already. but here's another one: http://dimemag.com/2010/04/stan-van-gundy-lebron-will-win-the-mvp-every-year-until-he-retires/ so it's not the media my friend. it's people who play, have played, or coached in the NBA. sure there are still some who say kobe. but the MAJORITY believe the best player in the L is lebron. that has been why he won the last 2 MVPs in LANDSLIDE fashion. you do not win the MVP in LANDSLIDE fashion if you're not the best/most dominant player in the L. ***did nash win his MVPs in landslide fashion?***
lol, so what did charles barkley say AFTER kobe win a ring? i just gave you an updated article to refute your lie. and no, all the greats simply CRITICIZE lebron's move (which was bad in the public eye), but i don't think they would retort the truth: he's the best player. the best TEAM comes out in june. and that's the lakers. that doesn't mean kobe is the best player. does that mean pau is the 2nd best player? jeez
And west said many things. He said Kobe's the best laker ever. Better than Magic. And LeBron's the better player, LOL. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/jerry-west-on-kobe-bryant-hes-the-greatest-laker.php
again, you're proving my point. best laker ever? better than magic? that means he has bad a better CAREER. i admit that he has had a better CAREER than lebron. that's a FACT. i'm talking about who is the best player NOW. or the past 2 years. lebron surpassed kobe 2 years ago. sometimes reading is fundamental when answering something.
Try convince Wade first. http://dimemag.com/2009/06/dwyane-wade-kobe-bryant-is-still-the-best-player-in-the-game/
aiite this is making me laugh now. i'm gonna stop. when people start doing this and not even putting up facts or quotes to support their claims, they're just reaching. barkley DESTROYED lebron, and he's a homer b/c he calls lebron the best player in the L. lol. ima stop.
1. I am a YoF, and I am a Rox fan when Yao can play. 2. This is NBA dish to discuss any team not named Rox. Call me Kobe nut hugger or whatever, it's not like there's no TMac or Lebronze nut hugger here.
I enjoy watching LeQuit fans making one excuse after another, it's almost an art. And many of them happen to be diehard T-Mac fans too. De javu?
how has he passed him? he has how many rings? he doesn't have the handles, the footwork, the iq, or the shot that kobe has
you mean you enjoy watching fans stick by the players they have always defended instead of selling them out when things dont go their way? dejavu
so when kobe is 35 and declining fast, and lebron is 28 and has only 1 ring, does that mean lebron is not the better current player AT THAT MOMENT? why don't people understand i'm talking CURRENTLY. kobe has the better career. but lebron is the better player right now. it's not even arguable. kobe is too inconsistent compared to lebron. that was the case for kobe in both the reg. season and playoffs. kobe had 2 really mediocre playoff series where he shot 40%. that's considered a "bad/subpar" series if you are considered a superstar but i'm calling it mediocre b/c his team won.
I have no problem with fans who want to fan whoever. But let's not be delusional. It's like how TMac fans complaint how Adelman didn't give TMac a chance, bad trade with NYK blah blah. And how LeQuit fans tried to paint LeQuit as an all time great when he underachieved in playoff in consecutive years. I enjoy getting them exposed.
Kobe won the ring this and last year last time I checked, while the consensus is LeBron underachieved in playoff for the last 2 years. Talked to me when Kobe's 35.
But Kobe didn't take a 30-win team to a championship. Kobe took a team that would have won probably 40-45 games without him to a championship.
He's also 6-3 and 190 pounds. There goes your argument about MJ playing against smaller defenders than Kobe.
