So wait, LeBron has been in the league 7 years less than Bryant?

[pauk]

I'm not talking just points. Alot can be great scorers. Lebron in terms of a career Lebron isn't close to Kobe.

Lebron is a GREAT player and puts up great stats but in terms of a career hasn't done anything YET. He is only 26 so he is going to need to win titles, have more deep runs in the playoffs, more all NBA teams, all defensive teams, finals MVP's.

How Lebron ages is going to be key, can he still be as great once he starts to decline and go past 30? Kobe has the skills to last a long time from 30-36 for example..does Lebron? that remains to be seen.

dude.... lebron by that age will be better than kobe at 35 (i didnt bring up age 30 because thats freakin young man, thats the best year for most players... most players reach their PRIME PRIME right there)... 32-33 is where u start to decline athletically and so on.... jordan was at best from 28-32.. won his first championship 28

i dont know of ANY such good player with such skills & talent and work ethic of the level of lebron who were not able to adjust skills to suit his declining athleticism and so on after the age of 30.... not including those who were injured....

its not like lebron will go: "ah **** it... i cant jump over people anymore and i cant zip by everybody... i give up... without my athleticism i cant shoot, rebound, pass, defend or develope a hakeemesque post game... nothing.... all those skills depended on my athleticism so **** it."

LOL

You would hope Lebron would adjust his game and work on other areas but there is no lock that happens. Same with Wade. Both depend alot on their speed and quickness to be as great as they are..once that goes then what? that will be interesting to see. Lebron needs to work on his post game, that will make him last longer.

his post game being bad is a ****ing myth....
he has a good post game... its not HAKEEM LEVEL or even KOBE LEVEL.... but its good.... he just doesnt use it for obvious reasons!!

I do agree he definitely can improve his post game tho!!! right now...? not needed the slightest bit..... post game is for those slow unathletic dudes who cant do what lebron can do.... lebron gets the ball in the post... faces up... one quick jab step and BAM he explodes to the rim... with one step he is already by you and going for a AND1.... so i can see why he doesnt use his post game very often

here is one analogy on lebron not wanting to post up so much....
lets say you have a .50 cal Sniper and a Bow with a Arrow... an elephant is running towards u to kill u.... would you use the Sniper or the Bow/Arrow?
u use the SNIPER right?? why play around with the Bow & Arrow and give the Elephant a chanse to kill you when you can finish it of quickly with the Sniper???
now all of the sudden u are criticised for not being skilled with Bow & Arrow..... but u are... u just have another weapon which nobody else has which gets the job done much more easier and more efficient than anybody could with a Bow & Arrow no matter how skilled they was with the Bow & Arrow!!
get it?

please dont let me ever hear anybody make that excuse ever again ok?

kobe came into the league not even close to as NBA ready as lebron...... kobe played 15 minutes a game his rookie year for a reason...
kobe played 25 minutes a game his sophomore year for a reason...

HE WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO AS NBA READY OR AS GOOD AS LEBRON............

LEBRON WAS THE MOST NBA READY 18 YEAR OLD IN NBA HISTORY..... WHILE KOBE HAD TO DEVELOPE HIS SKILLS IN THE NBA...... IT TOOK KOBE 4 YEARS TO BECOME AS GOOD AS EVEN A ROOKIE LEBRON.........

by the time kobe was 21 (his 4th season) he was only then as good as the ROOKIE LEBRON.........

please get over it...

by the time kobe was 21-22 he put up the same amount of FG Attempts per game as Lebron ever did in his CAREER and still came up very short....... dont bring that excuse plz...

AND GUESS WHAT? DURING THAT PROCESS LEBRON WAS TOP 10 IN ASSISTS ASWELL..... AVERAGED MORE REBOUNDS, SHOT MORE EFFICIENTLY FG, MORE BLOCKS, STEALS... TRIPLE DOUBLES, DOUBLE DOUBLES.... YOUNGEST TO RECORDS....


kobe cant be compared to lebron.......... you better bring in the RINGS.... because thats the only thing holding him up...
