LeBron - Probably 48 against the Pistons, scoring the last 25 or whatever. Or his first chip.

Kyrie - All Star Game or Fiba MVP. Lol, he's got plenty of time though.

i was thinking more along the lines of a spectacular moment. ie: an insane posterization, a clutch shot, etc

LeBron - Dunk on KG in 08 or dunk on Sheed in 07. Maybe the GW three against Orlando but the fact that we lost the series really dampens that moment.

Actually for LeBron, it's gotta be this: http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/LeBron-James-4th-Quarter-Shot-Gm-7-NBA-Finals.gif

In before someone posts Ray Allen's three for LeBron.

Probably Duncan's closeout against L.A. in 03.

He won it all in 99 and then the Lakers became a powerhouse, one that spanked the Spurs two years in a row. The Spurs then beat them with Duncan posting a 37/16. San Antonio officially take back the mantle (for one year, at least). We were the only Western team to beat a Jackson-Shaq-Kobe Lakers.

If it's one singular moment, probably the 3 against Phoenix. People were talking more and more about Duncan leaving his prime. He then opens the Playoffs with 40 points against Shaq and Amare and the unlikeliest of clutch shots.

Or maybe it's Tim basking in the fact that he was better at 37 than Dwight Howard.

[Charlie Sheen]

Rough topic for me. All I got for the mailman is vicious attacks on drob and zeke. Hard to capture his greastest assets consistency and longevity in one moment. Easy to snapshot his scummyness.

didn't get to watch Kobe's 81 live.

but I remember this dunk Lebron had over the Pistons in the finals as a Cavs where he cut past Hamilton/Prince and he was still quite far away from the basket and dunked over Sheed.


probably both are off topic by the way/anyhow.

I was going to put the 81 game on but by 2006 everyone knew Kobe could score. Maybe not an 80 point game but up to 2006 he had still had that 40 point month and before this game he had the 62 vs Dallas.

So I went with this. People were saying Kobe rode Shaq's coattails and were saying Drexler had a better career. He was fresh off a loss in the Finals and managed to turn things around and prove he was a winner.

This for Lebron and it's not close IMO.
