When does it become Lebron's League?

[Mr.Kite]

Back in 2007 or so, Duncan said to Lebron "this will be your league soon"

In 2014, this league still doesn't belong to Lebron. In fact Duncan proved to Lebron that 3 old timers (Manu, Duncan, and Ray) are still more competitive than a man in his prime.

Lebron is 30 years old. There isn't much time left for him to take over and claim this to be his league.

When Bird and Magic said to MJ, this is your league now, MJ was 28 years old.

I believe some youngster will surpass Lebron to claim the league as his. I suspect it will be Lillard.

As ridiculous and asinine as the thread title and everything you said was, suggesting the league will ever "become" Lillard's trumps it all.

When the refs quit sucking off the spurs.

Guys are overrating that inefficient scorer while hating on Prime Allen Iverson who actually led his team in the NBA Finals. and played in the hand check era. I can just imagine Lillard's FG's percentages in the pre 2006 NBA Rules.

OP is one of the reasons why the the kobetards are the most hated group in this forum.

PS


Lebron > Kobe.

Lillard was a 57% TS shooter last season. That's actually as efficient as any of Bean's most efficient seasons basically, granted that Bean scored like 5-7 PPG more though

I was talking about his FG%. 20.7 ppg on 42.4 FG%. People are calling AI a Cancer and a volume scorer, but dude actually averaged 33 ppg on 45 FG% when they updated some rules in 2006.

It's hard to say. It sort of is now, with people saying he is the best player in the game now, but i get your point, it doesn't seem like he has really dominated the entire league.

Part of it is because he teamed up with two other franchise players to win his chips, which people are sore about, and he has gotten beaten in the Finals even with his chosen teammates too. If he can't make the Cavs winners very quickly, who knows when ESPN will decide to move onto someone younger and declare him the next GOAT?

Yeah Lillard's 42% can be attributed to him being terrible at the rim. Very good 3 point shooter, but he shot 53% at the rim. Compare that to Kyrie who shot 57% at the rim. IF Lillard can improve there, he should be shooting around 45% ish maybe

It's already Lebron's league.

In 2014, this league still doesn't belong to Lebron. In fact Duncan proved to Lebron that 3 old timers (Manu, Duncan, and Ray) are still more competitive than a man in his prime.

You can share the league also, even when you 'own' it. Perfect example in your post-- Bird and Magic. You don't need to be 'invincible' to own the league.

Iverson is underrated. That was a 30 year old Iverson.

Prime A.I. would destroy the NBA's current crop of guards.

Yes, even Paul and Westbrook.

He was the only consistent performer for the Heat in the 2014 NBA Finals. It way just like Shaq in 2004. His teammates and sidekick sucked, underperformed, and choked at the same time.

Lebron in 7 years is still a 4x NBA MVP, 2x Finals MVP, 1x NBA Scoring Champion, and 3x Playoffs scoring champion.

Forget that, Agent Zero would take a shit on them.

It's already LeBron's league. 4 Final appearances the last 4 years. Two titles the last 4 years. No one else that wasn't on that Heat team has those accolades.

Also LeBron is changing and dictating the market as we speak. Tons of free agents didn't decide what they were going to do until LeBron made his moved. That move alone made the East wide open for almost anyone last year that was a 5th seed or better. Let's not forget his contract as well. He could be the first player to plan on doing multiple two year contracts consecutively to get the most money he can because of the new TV deal.

No disrespect to the Tim Duncans or Kevin Durants or Kobe Bryants, but ESPN SportsCenter turned into ESPN LeBronCenter for a week while people hung on every rumor of what he was doing.
