Fuck LeBron

I'm ready to join Team Lebron now. He wasn't a doosh bag at all during the off season nor during the lockout.

Dude hasn't shot a 3 all year, worked on his post game with Olajuwan this summer, and seems like a hands down MVP.

I hate the hell out of him but it seems like he got real serious about winning it all after last year's disappointment. He could be one of the best ever if he had the mental tenacity that he's been lacking so far in his career.

When you also consider the fact LeBron is only playing 35 minutes a game, shooting a higher percentage than those two and have to share the ball with another top 5 player in the league in Wade and top 5 PF in Bosh its as impressive as those games if not a little bit more. Plus he guards all five postions well on defense something no one in the history of this game has really done.

Best basketball player ever.

I am not saying he is the best basketball player ever (even though he has a chance since he is only 27 years old and that was the age Michael Jordan won his first championship). I'm just acknowledging the fact that he is playing at a ridiculous level right now and is now becoming the player people enviosned him being.

You know how easy it is to counter argue your point? He is playing with JUST those two, exactly!! And you even said Wade's foot has been hurt all year. Who the hell else is going to put up gaudy numbers on that team?

Yes, you are helping my case, thank you. LeBron has 1 banged up hall of famer and 1 above average NBA forward. Besides that no one on that team can put up good consistent numbers. So again, the numbers have to come from someone. He is super valuable to his team, clearly, but to say after these 6 games that he is having one of the best seasons ever is definitely jumping the gun. pump the brakes till we see what he does throughout the season and the playoffs.

Not really. I'm showing that LeBron has less talent to work with than those guys which makes what he is doing more impressive and when he wins championships (you know he will) it will be more impressive because he has less talent around him than MJ, Magic, and Bird had. And I said he was having one of the best starts in NBA history, not that he was having one of the best seasons. Now, if he keeps this up throughout the whole regular season I will say he is having one of the greatest season ever. Finally, if he continues this in the playoffs I will say he is having one of the greatest playoffs ever.

Your right, but if he does start winning championships and with the progression he has made as a player he will be neck and neck with MJ in terms of being the greatest player of all time in my opinion.

Kobe has put up equal if not better numbers, had lead the Lakers to 5 NBA titles, and everyone still acknowledges that Michael is above him in terms of greatest of all time. No one will ever take that title away from MJ, Hitler mustache and all. If LeBron wanted an MJ-like legacy, he needs to go back in time and erase what he did in the last year and a half, and win a few championships.

Only if he wins 5-6 championships. And Kobe, Magic, Kareem, Russell and Bird are certainly greater players at this point in his career. I would argue that Isiah is better too. He came up big when it counted and has 2 rings. Remember this is already James' 9th season.
