For those of you who don't think Jordan got any hate, I guess you weren't in Houston in the mid 90s when people were saying Hakeem was a better overall player than him. Hell, some people STILL say that.
The media have been hating and loving him this year, all depends on what you read. He's the best and most versatile in the NBA, so of course the media will be talking about him a lot. He has won a couple of MVP's and has been to the NBA finals, so he has done alot, and he is only 26 years old. He's next step will be to win a NBA cship, which shouldn't be too far away. Yes he has some flaws, but when is the best player in the game, by a margin that is getting bigger, you also have acknowledge what he is doing, and just not focus on the bad stuff.
You don't watch much Heat games do you? Lebron plays 5 postions for the Heat, and allows Wade to do what he wants, as Lebron takes the best defender every game.
If holding LBJ to 35 on 14/25 shooting is "stopping" him, I guess you think he's even better than I do!
sure, sure.. He got what he wanted.. Right after Wade destroyed them and left them wondering what else can they do to stop him.
This season Lebron had more points, rebounds, assists, and steals than Wade. He had a higher fg%, 3pt%, and ft%. He often guarded the opposing team's best perimeter player. He's clearly the best player on his team.
Like I said before LeBron really brings the Bi*** outta these haters this time of year. Stats and reality becomes irrelevant
Dude, who the **** are you to think that leading your team in basically everything makes you the best player?
Well, Derek Fisher has made a career out of putting up terrible numbers, playing no defense, and hitting one big shot every year.
bron went on that streak to close out the game with wade ON THE BENCH. but wade has been great though.
True for that particular game but who would you rather want the ball in the hands of late in a close game? If you didn't answer Wade then you need to watch more basketball.
Wade being a better closer doesn't mean LeBron can't close, or isn't the better player. Wade is probably a better closer than Kobe. I have never seen Kobe do what Wade did to Dallas in 2006. I would rather have Kobe or Manu closing than Shaq or Duncan when they were winnng titles together, but I know which one I would rather build my team around. LeBron is leading the Heat in damn near everything. It's his team. If he doesn't close and they win with Wade doing it and him leading the team in everything then I think he will take that. I really hope they win just so I can see all the bs excuses that guys come up with.
If you don't answer Lebron when he's gotten more pts, rebs, assists, steals, higher fg% all while guarding the opposing team's best player its you who needs to watch more basketball. Apparently all you do is watch the final highlight reels in NBA jam instead of the entire game.
It utterly depends on the situation, sure if you're going to Iso on the perimeter in the half court you want Wade - if you can get a post-up you go to LeBron, or actually if you're in transition and you want to score quickly you'd go to LeBron, when he has a full head of steam in halfcourt you can't stop him.
