It's a universal fact not an opinion.

LeBrick has never been the best player in the league, no rings, no talk.

Lebron has been the best player in the NBA for the pass 4 years.

Fukk off.

LeBron was clearly the best in '09 and '10.

He had a case in '08 (although, IMO, Paul and Kobe were indeed superior that year) and '11, as well.

Typing stupid shit with no argument or evidence to back it up, followed by typing "Deal with it" doesn't change anything. It doesn't change what already happened and certainly isn't going to change anyone's mind.

2007 is when Duncan started to show his decline. Idk if I'd put him at the top of the list. He did win a title though

2008 is fine

For 2009, you have to put LeBron in there along with Wade and Kobe

For 2010, I'd replace Wade with LeBron

2011 is cool but Wade and LeBron were about equal imo

Facts only exist in the science realm. Basketball doesn't fall under science. Everything else is opinion. Carbon has 4 protons when neutral = fact. Player being the best in his league = 100% opinion. You don't know the definition of fact and you're saying you're stating facts? Isn't there an inconsistency in there?

Lebron win any rings yet? No? Then no best player.

Kobe was clearly the best in 09 and 10 and in 11 those three were clearly better than LeBrick James. I think I might put Kobe, Melo, Durant, and Rose over LeBron that season too.

No offense but I'm waiting for his reply. A reply like "mentality" (basically a word that can never be defined or measured, and therefore can't be argued other than "yes" and "no") isn't a reply of any substance. I can say I rank Kidd last year above Deron Williams because of leadership, or Kobe ahead of Durant because of experience. Argue basketball, not arbitrary terms that have no substance. Does Kobe still not have that mentality now? So is he still better than LeBron to you right now?

do you understand the meaning of the word ''mentality'' in sports?

it's not clutch or gamewinners it's not ''not being in scoring rythm for 2-3 games''

firrst let may say that Lebron is a great player and he had a chance to be the GOAT - and im not joking


i will explain in a simple way ..

mentality in sports

there are many mental qualities that are important for successful performance in most sports. the main qualities are:

The 4C's

Concentration, confidence, control and commitment (the 4C's) are generally considered the main mental qualities that are important for successful performance in most sports .

Concentration - ability to maintain focus
Confidence - believe in one's abilities
Control - ability to maintain emotional control regardless of distraction
Commitment - ability to continue working to agreed goals

The techniques of relaxation, centering and mental imagery can assist an athlete to achieve the 4C's.


now let me give you some
examples

let's take ''Concentration''

- laughing and making fun of Dirk ''the couagh thing'' in the middle of NBA FINALS

for Heat fans this is the last thing you want Wade and Lebron to do. you want them to maintain focus, Concentration for fcuk sake this is FINALS media will talk about it fans won't let it go, reporters will ask the players about it .. waht a distraction!!
you just don't need this sh!t in the finals


- the silly things (dancing - hand shaking itc)
you know what i mean

- distractions got into Lebron in 2010 Celtics/Cavs ECF

-----

let's look at Confidence

mind games - there are players that it's easy to get into their minds just befor big games.

remember:

-Kareem comments on Howard befor 2009 finals (both Centers)
-Magic Johnson comments on Rondo befor 2010 finals (both PG's)
-Jerry West comments on Lebron befor 2010 ECF
-Magic Johnson comments on Lebron befor 2009 ECF
-Pippen comments on Lebron befor 2011 Finals



notice the the trend? they don't mean it, they just Mind-numbing and it worked every time with players have ''Confidence'' issues.

just mind games

-remember Celtics practice before game 7 in 2010 finals?
Staples Center scoreboard was still displaying the final point tally from Game 6 the night before (it was a blow-out): No coincidence

He called you a troll already so he kind of disqualified you from that. And no offense, but I, and many others also think you're a troll. How can you make an argument for Wade over LeBron in 2010? How is LeBron not clearly the best in 2009? Just because Kobe had Pau and LeBron had Mo? Makes no sense.

He's trying to say Lebron is the best in the league. I honestly don't see that. To me, the best player in the league is the one who is the most polished. Lebron isn't the most polished. Now I'm also not saying that Kobe is still the best. He's slowed down a little. What I was trying to point out is that if he worked on those two assets, then he can become a really great player. And btw the other dude was trying to say that Lebron's been the best in the league since 2007. C'mon there are other players who were superior to him in some of those years.

And you don't think LeBron has a case at all ?? I don't think some "polishing" is what he needs to be a great player. He already is a great player, playing right now. If you don't see it, then oh well, that's on you.

Does he need improvements ? Absolutely. But to say that he's all he needs is post game and then he would be great player is absurd.

You have your opinion and he has his.

Not sure which guy you talking about, but he has his opinion as well. LeBron had a great run till he ran into the Spurs in the Finals. What's not to think he wasn't the best @ age 22 ? I don't agree with it, but it's a good debate. Just like some people say that Dirk was the best player after this season because he had a great run. People think differently when you start winning or have long playoff runs.

It all depends on how you precieve things and put into prespective.

It was a tie. Lebron led his team to a 66-16 record while Kobe led his team to a 65-17 record. I remember that year cleary everybody was always debating who's better Kobe or Lebron.

Lebron was the better finisher (near the basket) and play-maker (although, Kobe's passing and ability to set up his teammates were elite and not very far behind). Beyond that though? Get real.

Kobe from 06-08; Lebron from 09-11


Yes Kobe was better from 10-15ft, 16-23ft, 3PT.

Scoring is debateable. Kobe is versatile, while Lebron scored more and had a better %.

Better defender?

Lebron James DTRG was 104
Kobe Bryant DTRG was 106

and this is with the Lakers (89.6) having a better defensive effienclty rating than the Cavailers (90.7).

I'll say this he did lead the Cavs all the way to game 7 against the Celtics in 2008. he carried that team in the playoffs but like catch 24 said

is why I think Kobe was superior to Lebron that year.


no evidence supports this claim.

How is scoring debatable? Kobe kept defenses honest with his polished scoring skills and ability to hit from anywhere on the court; Lebron? Not so much. His jumpshot was better in 2008 than it was '07, but still shaky and no-where near as consistent as Kobe's from mid-to-longrange.

Better defender?


Lebron James DTRG was 104
Kobe Bryant DTRG was 106

DRTG is a team statistic (and heavily overrates blocks/steals). Lebron's teams played better defense in the playoffs as well.

Bad example.


and this is with the Lakers (89.6) having a better defensive effienclty rating than the Cavailers (90.7).

What? Cleveland had a 106 DRTG.


Clutch?

http://www.82games.com/CSORT11.HTM

I don't go by 82games interpretation of what is clutch (scoring a couple points with a certain amount of minutes/seconds left isn't my definition of 'clutch-play'). But even if we were to go by their criteria, looking at the page, you can't ignore the fact, Lebron played in 12 more games (and near 80 more minutes). One also can't help but notice something I aluded to earlier, and thats Kobe's versatility. Look at his FT and 3PT%. Much better than James'. From a scoring perspective, Kobe has more ways of beating you down the stretch.

2009's Sports Illustrated poll (based on 190 player votes) says Kobe was more clutch and the best late-game player in the league: http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/staff/posts/49281-si-players-nba-poll-with-the-game-on-the-line-which-nba-player-would-you-want-to-take-the-last-shot

Don't skip out 2009 when he face the reigning DPOY in Dwight Howard and a team defensive rating off 101.9 (1st in the league). His production ?

32.4ppg 5.6reb 7.4ast 1.4stl 1.4blk 43.0%fg 36.0%ft 84.1%ft

See how well he played against the #1 ranked defense ?

And yes LeBron James played better than that team too, I will give him credit there for sure.

As for the 2010 Phoneix Suns, well you will have to look at it again. I thought he played extremely well and the defense actually look solid at time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDmnJAaxnQQ

Game 1

- Goes one on one with Dudley, makes a tough shot in the paint.
- 3 pointer, contested by J-Rich
- Ridiculous fall away shot by Kobe, that's impossible to guard
- Mid range, contested by Amar'e
- Literally hits over a double team of G-Hill and J-Rich, ridiculous shot
- Great split on the screen by Kobe, bad defense there, makes a tough floater
- 3 pointer, late contest by Nash
- Mid range shot, good defense by G-Hill
- Step back shot, contest by Dudley
- Great back door play by Kobe and 1, poor defense and foul on Frye
- Open court lay up on a turnover, pass from Odom
- 3 pointer by Kobe, late uncontested run by Barbosa

Game 2
- Mid range jumper, good contest by Hill
- Layup, Lopez on the switch

Game 3
- Turnaround fadeaway jumper, contested by Lopez
- Mid range jumper, contested by Hill
- Fakes out Lopez, layup
- 3 pointer, hand down man down Hill
- Mid range jumper, contested by Dudley

- Mid range jumper, poor contest by Frye
- Rebound, fake out of Lopez, layup
- Switch on Nash, Mid range jumper after running into the screener Gasol
- 3 pointer, made it on a switch on Nash, Nash contests though
- Switch barbosa, drives, hits jumper, contested by Frye
- Bad defense by the suns, Kobe finds away to drive it to the basket

Game 4
- Mid range jumper, contested by Amundson
- Mid range jumper, contested by Amundson
- 3 pointer, contested by Amundson
- 3 pointer, no contest by Amundson, stand his ground
- Mid range jumper, contest by J-Rich
- 3 pointer, no contest, bad D by J-Rich
- Pull up jumper, late face guard contest by Hill
- 3 pointer, switch on Nash, no chance for Nash there
- 3 pointer, run by Amar'e
- Pull up jumper, lazy/no contest by Frye
- Basline fadeaway, nothing you can do there
- 3 pointer, lazy defense on Dudley, should have contested it better
- Switch on Nash, draws foul, jumper, and 1
- Layup, good move by Kobe
- Pull up jumper, no contest

Game 5
- Jumper, contest by J-Rich
- Mid range jumper, great contest by Dragic
- 3 pointer, close out by Barbosa
- Runs into triple team, pull up 3 pointer, no contest
- 3 pointer, contest by Nash
- Mid range jumper, face guard by Nash
- Fast break dunk
- Drives, jumper, great contest by Hill
- Mid range jumper, contested by J-Rich, ran into double team
- 3 pointer, poor defense by the Suns but their zoning up
- Mid range jumper, face guard by Dragic
- Mid range jumper, no contest by Barbosa

Game 6
- Mid range jumper, contested by Hill
- Drives, draws foul, tough runner, and 1
- 3 pointer, contested by J-Rich
- Mid range jumper, contest by Amar'e
- Deep 3 pointer, nothing you can do there
- Mid range jumper, of the screen, no contest by Amar'e on the recover
- Mid range jumper, great contest by Dudley
- Fadeaway jumper, contested by Dudley
- Basline fadeaway, that's pretty much unguardable, contested by Frye
- Tough mid range jumper, contested by Frye and Dudley
- Double team comes, turns hits jumper, over contested Hill and Frye
- Jumper on Hill, ridiculously difficult, great contest by Hill



All this for:

33.7pts 7.2reb 8.3ast 52%fg

I would say his playoff performances should not be dismissed so easily. They were great. As is Kobe.

Now tell me how Kobe Bryant has worse stats than Lebron James?


This is a great point you bring up.

However, you have to look at the scenarios of each of those rounds, which is further from the stats. Kobe was banged up the whole year with that knee. Wade, while played great in Game 4, really were out of it by then. I don't think the Celtics were fearing nothing from Wade alone.

Same goes with LeBron. He had a great game 3, but he checked out after Game 5. His Game 6, isn't has great has his triple double suggests. I felt there no impact made LeBron that much. It just felt he wasn't in it. I

can't say the same for Kobe though. Remember, context. You have to realize that Kobe was going to get drained from the long playoff run eventually as he did run into damn good defense. Add in the knee injury, Kobe did have some great games in game 1, 5, and 6. The rest was medicore, followed by Game 7. Though, you have to give Kobe credit for mixing it up in there, fighting for rebounds, hitting freethrows,etc.. Also keep in mind Kobe is doing this on his 3 straight finals trip + the olympics.

I don't think 2010 Finals was that great by any means. But putting it all together, you have to give Kobe credit for being the leader and giving it is all, even if he was missing a lot shots. Something I can't really say about LeBron in the playoffs, IMO.

Well yes it is all pretty debatable. I think everyone will just go with their own opinions and all. I look it like this:

2008: Kobe. LeBron played well, had a better line, but Kobe was doing a bit more of everything that year, picke up his defense, and the time playoffs came along, he turned it up.

2009: Tie, slightly favourable to Kobe. LeBron had competition form both Wade and Kobe (more from Wade) but he had that MVP on lock, 66+ wins, one of the greatest playoff runs i've seen. Kobe was on mission, though. He had a fantastic playoff run as well and after 2009 Finals, Kobe finally got his as the leader.

2010: Tie again, slightly favourable to Kobe. LeBron dominated the regular season again, unanimous MVP for me. But, checked out in the Finals (elbow injury too, but here is an inside look into Game 5:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d-Mnfz6iB0

Kobe again took his team to the promised land and won another title. Though not as spectacular as the year before, he got another ring to add to his growing legacy.

To be honest, for 2011 ?

Before the Finals ? I would have said LeBron James.

After ? I would have to go with Dirk Nowitzki. Has the most consistent run in both the regular, playoffs, and finals.

If there is a question of who is the best player in Miami, then I have to say it's LeBron James. Why ? Though it was relatively close between them at the end of the year and even though James played horrible in the finals, he was clearly their best player throughout the regular season and playoffs before the finals.

However, you're best player can't be the best player in every series though, that includes the Finals. And it's not the first time it's happened before. My pick for the best player on Miami from here on out is LeBron James. He still the younger player, the more durable player, more things he can improve, etc..

you didn't watch teh series. Lebrick played no defense. The Cavs hid him on the worst PG in the league, Rafer Alston, and he still got lit up. And who can forget the last 5 minutes of game 5 where he had like 5 turnovers. the Magic's gameplan was to let him get his, but stop his teammates, and it worked. if they tried that shit on Kobe or Wade they would have averaged 45+ ppg with their advanced offensive skillsets.

You can take that to the bank.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

Tell Dan Gilbert to start building a great team again.

His love obessession for LeBron has gone on far enough.

I hope LeBron buys the team someday. I bet LeBron is going to be a better team owner than Gilbert. Dan needs to focus on rebuilding his team, and forgetting about the past.

has had no financial head and IQ. (typical no brainer lebron fan so no wonder tho) :oldlol:

lebron won't make enough money to buy entire team to be owner.

lebron won't be one of the rich like Paul Allen or Mark Cuban.

How is the dictatorship down in wherever the **** you are living in?

You don't know where I live, yet you claim that there's dictatorship where I live. Very smart, your IQ is definetly high. My country is democratic btw.

He was indisputably the best in 09 and 2010 with a great argument for 2008 as well. Stop the hate!

lol..... he was always the most productive player in the NBA since his 2nd year in the NBA, the most productive player both in season & playoffs.............. :confusedshrug:

dunno who else could have been better..... unless you overrate team accomplishments (think that it is the act of ONE MAN) or hate lebron.. or both....

in that case.. Rip Hamilton or Chauncey Billups was the best..... then Tony Parker or Tim Duncan was the best... then Paul Pierce or Rondo was the best.. then Kobe or Gasol was the best.... then Dirk nowitzki or Jason Terry or Jason Kidd was the best..... :facepalm

diid this NUKKA just say 2009 lebron choked it away? you do you know he had an insane series right? they lost because orlando posed way too much mismatch problems for the cavs. damn near 40 8 8 per game in that series with a ****ing insane 37 PER

Because his stats are empty:confusedshrug:

That's still not undisputed dumb shit. Better numbers don't mean anything if they don't lead to wins. Kobe won, LeBron didn't.

Deal with it.

They lost because everybody else on the Cavs didn't show up not because of Lebron. But whatever, you're lame ass do nothing in life but think of reasons to hate on dude.
