LMAO

People really underestimated him in the old ISH message board.

lol

"My only gripe with LEBRON is that from the dunks i have seen etc. HE is not really that athletic. NOt sure if he can do well in the pros..hope he does though."

[Lebron23]

some of them are still posting here like Daheezy, GOBB, Miles Berg, Johnnysic, and DA Ko King.


Daheezy: But ain't no super star either...
Why can't we all just wait and see.
Member Ronnie Feilds?

LMAO at Lebron being the next Harold Miner.


Take over the league with a shoot-first mentality on a crappy team. Realises he isn't going to win championships that way after awhile, so changes his game. Basically I see him on the same par as Jerry Stackhouse.


LOL. a 19/20 yrs.old Lebron >> Prime Stackhouse

Damn, this guy giving a bad name to chingchong china men round the globe.

and this clown MMKM still keep hating on Lebron because he lived up to his hype.


MMKM: I think he'll be a bust. All the guys that get hyped that early never live up to their expectations. Remember Schea Cotton

yeah but you never know how a player turns out

true

That's why I don't post any negative things about Wiggins and Parker. I'll judge them once they start to play in the NBA.

I dont think they care about how you judge them.

Thanks Brah.

There is no hype about Lebron. He really is that good. If he "busts" it will because he gets injured loses interest or something or another. But he is better than 90% of NBA players right now. It's just that simple there is no denying it, accept it. It is the truth. He is a creator. His passing skill is really what puts him ahead of other players. There are many players who are gifted offensively but his court vision instroduces a totally new dimension to his game. Let it not go unsaid that his defense is also another strength. I will say that no player is perfect but he is good and his flaws are minimal. At his size 6'7 1/2", and weight 238 he is already more of a phsyical presence than many NBA 2 and 3 guards.

harold miner material.

Get off the wagon............he's not going to be a household name

He will be a superstar the same way Darius Miles is a superstar.


He will be a bust as the number 1 probably but end up to be a decent 14 pts 3 ast 7 reb Lamar Odom type guy.

[LEFT4DEAD]

he will be iight not a 30pts 6 ast 6 reb guy like Kobe and T-mac now. He will be a bust as the number 1 probably but end up to be a decent 14 pts 3 ast 7 reb Lamar Odom type guy. This is just my guess.
:oldlol:
Threads like this one are always funny. But lets be real, there is no way you can predict how will some kid do in the NBA. You can only be a laughing stock like most of those guys in that thread.

hey that's why they on fourms instead of scouting nba guys to be fair
