    How arent they more talented than the Lakers? Is it my hate for Lebron or ur love affair with a player who will NEVER win a championship

    The excuses made for Lebron are disgusting. They will NOT even get to the finals this year yet you guys will be back on the ? hype? train next year

    Is got to be your hate cos you even predict Lebron will never win a championship. That's pure hate!
    I never like Lebron but I do hate the lakers.
    The guy is averaging 25pts 7rebs 7assts for his career and how can you call him hype? Just because he yet to win a ring? Malone and Barkley are labeled as one of the best PFs, are they overhyped?

    Bynum > Shaq
    Gasol >>>>> Jamison
    Artest > Parker
    Fisher < Mo. Williams
    Odom > Varejao
    Brown = West
    Farmar < Moon

    Cavs still have Big Z, Hickson and Gibson. Cavs have the depths but Lakers definitely more talented!

    @OP: It's just a nickname.

    We can change it to "The Best Player in the World" James if you want.

    Too bad he already went to the Finals, with a team that was much more less talented than this one.

    No one really "deserves" their nickname. He's called "King" because he was expected to be a dominant player (which he has been since his second year), and "King James" sounds neat. There's no need to read into it any further.

    I'm sorry, but a few years back when Kobe had virtually no supporting cast he took ALL the blame. Unlike Lebron, he could never use the "my team didn't show up"excuse. I guess when ur "KING" you can do that :rolleyes:

    No, I just won't ride the "hype" train like a lot of you. ESPN highlights isn't my main source of basketball

    Was this a few years back before or after Kobe decided to mail in that elimination game against Phoenix in the playoffs?

    How is it hype? What part of his team having the best record in the NBA, him being 2nd in the league in scoring (could have had #1 if he played the final week), having an insane PER, and his team being nothing at all like a championship contender if he wasn't on the team can't you understand? They overexpose James in the media, for sure, but you act as if Jordan didn't get air time back in the day or like how Stuart Scott won't stop sucking on Kobe's balls either.

    Of course ESPN shows LeBron highlights a lot.. he's a beast. If Yao was dominant I'm sure you wouldn't complain if ESPN showed Yao highlights everyday.

    Spoken like a true Kobe hater. If he'd took all the shots you'd call him a ballhog, the guy can't win
