Players that proved you wrong.

[navy]

Which players proved you wrong in the NBA?

[Joyner82reload]

Durant. Didn't think he would surpass LeBron at his peak before he hit his prime.

[Rose'sACL]

Swaggy P.

[GoranDragon]

Durant. Didn't think he would surpass LeBron at his peak before he hit his prime.
He'll surpassed Lebron when he beat Lebron in a finals series.

[Joyner82reload]

He'll surpassed Lebron when he beat Lebron in a finals series.

So Kobe still>LeBron. Got it.

[GoranDragon]

So Kobe still>LeBron. Got it.
Bringing Kobe into this when you have nothing else to say.:lol

Lebron murked Durant into crying to Mommy in the finals, until Durant gets his revenge, he ain't "surpassing" sh1t.

[christian1923]

Paul Pierce. Never thought he was a championship player.

Dwight Howard. I thought he'd be a great player by now.

Jr smith. I thought he turned a corner last year but naa:coleman:

one of my favorite moments of Kobe's career, IMO it absolutely made him the player he is today.

There isn't a player in the league today with the balls to take those shots over prime Shaq & Eddie Jones as an 18 year old.. not only that, but to keep taking them, to embarrass yourself on a huge stage when you're supposed to be this "next Jordan"

to come back from that and become the player that he became gained my respect

[cos88]

kevin garnett ... did not know a corpse could start in the nba

[pezt]

Enes Kanter
I follow his Career since he was like 15 and always thought he would be an Elite Big.

Dude hasn't developed a bit for years and plays the worst defense I have ever seen. Also he is dumb as a rock. On and Off the court.

[Black and White]

Paul George, I didn't think he would get nearly as good as he is now, he proved me wrong.

[Angel Face]

Lebron James

His Charitable work is unparalleled. No one else comes close, outside NBA he helps kids and people. Inside NBA, he helps players. ex. In 2011, Lebron's known charitable work showed again during the NBA Finals, His compassion for other people is unparalled as he helped Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs win their 1st NBA Championship. GOAT Charity Player :applause: :bowdown:

Your franchise irrelevant since Jordan retired so you spend your time trying to discredit Lebron and the Miami dynasty. Seek help.

[GoranDragon]

Durant has surpassed Lebron all time. Whats the problem? :confusedshrug:
no.

Lebron: 2 rings, 2 FMVPs, 4 MVPs

Durant: 0 rings, 0 FMVPs, 0 MVPs, 1 crying to mommy on national tv footage


surpassed?:lol :roll:

[knicksman]

i never thought lebron would be stopped by fatass boris diaw

[Dr. Ice]

I was certain that josh smith would eventually fix all of his shortcomings.

He proved me wrong.

[GOATbe]

no.

Lebron: 2 rings, 2 FMVPs, 4 MVPs

Durant: 0 rings, 0 FMVPs, 0 MVPs, 1 crying to mommy on national tv footage


surpassed?:lol :roll:
Like joyner said, halfway he's on pace for the GOAT regular season though :bowdown: . He's surpassed Lebron.:rockon:

[GoranDragon]

He won the series.:oldlol:

[GoranDragon]

He surpassed Kobe no doubt. But Lebron is still above him on the all time list.

[GOATbe]

If he surpassed Kobe than that'd mean KD is the GOAT. :confusedshrug:

[Bandito]

Kobe- he sure shut the haters (ESPN) up :lol

Lebron - I expected big things from him but he hasn't done any of those things.

Shaq - met him in real life and he acts like a normal guy, not a spoiled star

Will add as I remember players that proved me wrong...

[GoranDragon]

[DFish24]

Jason Terry: Never thought he could outplay Lebron in a finals series.

[GoranDragon]

He didn't. Dirk did.

[Bandito]

He didn't. Dirk did.
Who's alt are you? You remind me of a young Lebron23 A LOT...

[RoseCity07]

I knew Anthony Davis would be good but I never thought he'd be such a superstar level player. This guy is a monster on both ends. I think it's safe to say he's going to carry a team to the finals.

[Angel Face]

Who's alt are you? You remind me of a young Lebron23 A LOT...

do you think he'll kill someone in the near future?

[Fudge]

joyner started it with his "surpassed lebron" bs.
And you fell for it. Whose fault is it, really? :oldlol: You catch feelings too fast, my dude.

[r0drig0lac]

this

[BuffaloBill]

Kevin Durant. I never thought he would be the best basketball player in the world but here he is.

[ElPigto]

T-Mac. I genuinely thought he would eventually get out of the first round and lead the Rockets at least to the Conference Finals.

I know his team technically advanced twice but those don't count to me. Wish it would have been him leading the way or at least playing the Robin role.

[mugiwara]

I thought wes johnson would be good. Prove me wrong again wes, prove me wrong.

[ballup]

Jordan Hill. Thought he would be out of the league by now.

[Audio One]

[Kingwillball]

Steph Curry much better than I thought he would be..

[Milbuck]

Caron Butler. I have to admit I thought he would be traded or released by this point in the season. But halfway through the season, he's still rocking a Bucks jersey.

[Illuminati]

Kobe- he sure shut the haters (ESPN) up :lol

Lebron - I expected big things from him but he hasn't done any of those things.

Shaq - met him in real life and he acts like a normal guy, not a spoiled star

LOLOLOLOL

You can't be serious? Expected to be the next Jordan, the next big thing, was being called the King, Chosen One before playing his first NBA game.

And now youngest to 20k points, 4x MVP, 2x Champion on the verge of 3-peating, on the verge of going to 4 straight Finals only like two teams in NBA history have done that, already top 10 all-time (for most people) and still only 29 years of age.

How can you forget this?

http://breakfastisforclosers.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/telfairlebron1.jpg

:lol It's safe to say LeBron has lived up to expectations coming out of school.

[b1imtf]

Anthony Bennett. I tought he'd be shit.

[ImKobe]

Kobe. I thought he was just an athletic player with limited range at first and that he needed to go to college before he entered the league. He seemed like he would struggle with his 6'6 200 pound frame, he looked really skinny at first. You wouldn't think this kid would end up being the best player of his era. But in just 2-3 years, he developed into a true star and in another 2-3 years he was a superstar and was putting up back-to-back 45+ point 10+ rebound games in the Western Conference Playoffs. And I never doubted him again.

[Genaro]

First of all, I'm not trolling.
2011 is the year.
First of all I never thought Dirk could make people forget 2006. I thought he wouldn't win a title. He beasted in the playoffs and proved me wrong.

After the Miami big 3 was formed, I thought only Lakers could beat them. But they lost to Dallas and then I thought Lebron couldn't win as the man.
In 2012 he managed to surprise me with that game 6 against Boston. After that I started respect him.

[freshperry]

Steve nash. Didnt know he would go to the lakers from the sun consodering their minor rivalry and then to produce absolutely nothing as being laker...

It helps if a troll doesn't start the thread, fyi.

[houston]

lamarcus aldridge

[Mr. Jabbar]

dwight, i thought players improved their game after their first years

[moe94]

I thought Curry's ceiling was a sixth man award, at absolute best.

Huh now that I think I never thought he would amount to much coming out of college, I actually thought he would struggle to create his own shot for some reason :facepalm .

[moe94]

I'd like to think everyone wrote him off as a college kid who couldn't handle the NBA's athleticism and quickness. We lost. :facepalm

[Pushxx]

I thought Anthony Bennett would shoot at least 28% but here he is at 27%.

****er proved me wrong.

You what? Why????

[kshutts1]

Rose and Beasley. I wanted the Bulls to get Beasley. One of the very few times I'm glad I was wrong.

Wilson Chandler this season only (so far). I thought he'd be a fantasy stud with Gallo out... but wow has he been a let down. Same for McGee.

[Inferno]

Little early, but MCW. Thought the dude would be a scrub shooting sub 35%
