LeBron James is the most exciting player to watch since Jordan

[talkingconch]

most exciting player since jordan cant even get more all star votes than a 50 year old kobe?

yet lebron stans continue to post delusional stuff

[DCL]

if you thought the sky hook was boring, you would had hated watching kareem skyhook your team to death all day and night, but he was the most unstoppable player in the league for a long time.

people need to understand the simple concept that the best player is not necessarily same as most exciting player.

dr. j was 100X more fun to watch than kareem. but that don't mean sh!t in being the best player.

Somebody on this thread said LeBron has a great post game.

Watching layups = exciting?

He has great post game right now..... whats the point of showing an older gif of him missing a shot there.... like if Kobe never misses something there or something? Lebron right now compared to Kobe has actually a much more efficient/productive post up game... he doesnt even have to pull a move at all to be more efficient than Kobe there, just use his size/strength to ragdoll down somebody under the basket for the easy lay in.... just like he did against Kobe the last time...

Great is a strong word. His post game has improved, but he still has work to do. I think he should study with James Worthy moreso than the Dream. I don't think he has the fluidity and quickness to pull of Hakeem's arsenal, he'd be better off studying a more traditional back to the basket approach. Crazy to think that he still has room to improve considering he's already clearly the best in the business

And here's the most exciting player post Jordan, easily:

No one electrified an NBA arena like this guy in his athletic prime. Everyone in the building was cheering for Vince, no matter what building or team he was in.

From the early 00's = Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant... are more exciting.

From when James got drafted = Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul are more exciting.

For the decade or last 15 years since Jordan, I think Wade or Carter have been the most exciting players. Flip a coin between them.

On TV Lebron doesn't look super impressive to me. But seeing him live its a whole different story. Still don't know if he had MVP year Derrick Rose beat in the excitement apartment - Derrick Rose gives the sensation that he has power packs on and then you actually see how he does unique spins on the ball and such. Both look like they are doing something more than other humans can do. Kobe is a scoring mastermind so he gets props too.

In that video, Lebron leaps from the foul line, incidentally, and he just gets control of the ball at the mid court line. Crazy, now that you aren't seeing anyplace else.

[alleykat]

any of you guys actually seen james live?

if you haven't then i suggest you should before you make your decision. he is insanely big and insanely fast....and can jump out the building....

and if you have and still think he is boring - well to each his own.

+1 that being exciting doesn't always correlate with being the best player.

Blake Griffin can obviously be pretty exciting, especially on his breaks.

[STATUTORY]

John Wall is up there too imo.

I think the most exciting player since Jordan was Vince Carter in his prime.

I lol'd in real life. john wall for all his athletic prowess couldn't even break down college defenses consistently and get to the rim at will, that's why Kentucky got cooked in the tournament and he's suppose to be exciting>

He traveled noob!

...and missed the shot


EDIT: DIdn't Kobe embarrass him last time they saw each other?

[Bandito]

I am going to rep you when I can! Respect

People keep forgetting A.I was an exciting player to see. Carter, A.I, TMac and Kobe were the swingmen that were as exciting as/since MJ. Lebron came after.

Who do you think it was?

[kNicKz]

you are totally confusing best player with most exciting to watch player.

not the same.

prime VC was more fun to watch than lebron. VC ain't holding lebron's jock strap as an overall player.

This. AI was absolutely mesmerizing in his prime. The way he would shred defenses at his size was crazy
