He's the BEST player in the NBA. And if you have been watching Miami's games in the playoffs he's been more than solid in closing out games. A lot the best players are arrogant (Kobe, Jordan, Shaq, etc.). Part of being the best at something is having the mentality that you are the best. I don't like to get involved in player personalities because it's not like I watch the NBA to see who's a douche or not, I just like to watch them play.
Three of my least favorite players! Dream was one of the best and a pretty class-act. Which I guess is why he's so underrated. He didn't have a big ass mouth.
Weird. I could have sworn Shane Battier gave Lebron James his worst game as a professional. I think Lebron James meant that only crappy defenders couldn't stop him. That's nothing special.

Along with Artest splitting time on him, Chuck making great help rotations, and Yao protecting the paint. That was a great TEAM effort.
Other players of the top of my head who can't be guarded one-on-one: Carmelo Anthony Amare' Stoudemire Deron Williams Chris Paul Dwayne Wade Dwight Howard Zach Randolph Kevin Durant Dirk Tony Parker Manu Ginobli Kobe Bryant (even now) Derrick Rose (Miami threw everybody at him) Basically.......if a player is an all-star or superstar they can't usually be guarded by one player the whole game. If they could, they they wouldn't be stars. So while what LeBron is saying is true.....its also common sense and almost not worth mentioning. Its kinda one of those "no s**t" statements....like water is wet.
