It's becoming, much like with Tiger Woods, that Lebron is pretty much always one of the top candidtaes for player of the week/month etc ...every single week or month, whatever the case may be.
He's, quite simply, the most dominating player in the league, and can be dominant even without scoring an astronomical amount every game ...
Facts is, he doesn't dominate the ball ....he gets his points without taking a high amount of shots each game ...he scores while continuing to have a very high shooting percentage, and he maintains a high shooting percentage even while consistently seeing double, and sometimes triple teams....
This is unprecedented for a player playing the small forward position ...even check Michael Jordan's shooting percentage when he was a Bull ....rarely had years where he shot close to 50% from the field.
So, Lebron gets his points, distributes effectively allowing others to get quality looks at the basket and shots ...and all the while being one of the better defensive players on the team, and rebounders ...
Eventually, he will become a player that averages, for a season, double figues in all three categories ....something I thought we'd never see again ...which the last player that ever accomplished this feat was the great Oscar Robertson.
What is going unnoticed and unpublicized is the fact that Lebron, this season, has taken his man defense, help defense to a far higher level than he's ever displayed in his pro career up to this point.
As great as he was and is, he's getting progressively better with each new season ....and folks, that's scary.
Much like Tiger Woods, he's the best ...and keeps getting better and better.
At tyhe end of this guys career, he will be deemed the greatest all arounfd player to have ever put on an NBA uniform.Comment

LOL, 1 more point a game. How many more assists has lebron dished and rebounds has lebron pulled down in comparison? 1 point? Is that really the best you can throw back? LOL.Comment

alright you act like lebron is god cause hes only 6 years into the league and kobe 10 years or w.e i was just showing you that kobe was doing the same shit when he was 6 years into the league"From the time he hits the court, he plays at a competitive level that you rarely see," Popovich says. "He does the exact same things that Kobe (Bryant) does, that Michael Jordan did.Comment

But I will argue that Lebron shoots a much higher percentage than Kobe. Mostly because he takes less shots which in turn = more efficient.Comment

When did having a jumpshot make you the best player in the league?
When Shaq and Duncan were considered the best players in the game they weren't making threes. Kobe and LeBron are two completely different players. Kobe shoots and LeBron drives. Is one better then the other no.

I dont wanna turn this into a Kobe vs Lebron debate but it feels like its going this way anyway so...
Kobe is by far a better player than Lebron.
i dont wanna get into anything like skills because that will, take to long but i just wanted to say this...
when people talk about Kobe they talk about if he is as good as Jordan, when they talk about Lebron they talk about if he is as good as Kobe. You never hear Lebron compared to Jordan nearly as much as Kobe is.
You guys are talking like all Lebron does is drive close and score and cant do nothing else in a game .Last edited by Archer; 02-21-2009, 02:03 PM.Comment
