Man that ball must've had magnets on it :x

Nothing but net.

LeBron throws basketball 30 yards on target...new Cleveland quarterback controversy ensues.

 

[awwsome]

No, because of stuff like this:
Less of that. More of the facts and presenting cases and making points.

Wit never hurt, but getting personal isn't wit.

What's fun without trash talk though?

 

[awwsome]

Wasn't Boobie Gibson one of the main guys on that squad? That should say enough

Ira Newble played minutes as well.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

That really shows Lebron's strength - that was a standing throw. Even from halfway I need to fling it a little after a few steps to make it that easy.

 that throw

 

[sea manup]

 
What?!

How in the world was Love guaranteeing himself a HOF speech in Minny already?

And Pau was already solidifed as one of the greatest international players ever before Kwame went to Memphis.

and gasol was also known as a first round and out kinda guy as well..... dude got slandered much before he hooked up with the lakers. 

Absolutely true.

But he was still LARGELY considered as one of the greatest int'l payers ever.

We talking nba tho

Jeremy Lin is the second greatest chinese player ever

Ira Newble played minutes as well.

Eric Snow point gawd!!!

 

[bowb4me]

Eric Snow point? Oh gawd!!!

Fixed

 

[sea manup]

Lebron looking like Vick in that commercial

 

[lver of jordan]

Bron :x

[MoneyAmeer]

the real point god

 

[mister friendly]

Kevin Love wasn't making a HOF speech yet but he was putting up all time numbers

Is there other guys who did that for 4 seasons?

 

[hypebeast5]

So Jimmy Butler a lock for most improved?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Hawks on TNT and getting evaluated by "NBA experts", Ryan must be washing his ever-changing soul

 

[Quincy McCall]

So Jimmy Butler a lock for most improved?

Yea he'll steal it View media item 1506858

Wang ZhiZhi in his prime> Jeremy Lin

he just came into the wrong situation

Kevin Love was putting up all time numbers to miss the playoffs


Something we will most likely see again, seeing as he only played one side of the ball

Apparently you missed when NTer mrlbj explained that LeBron on his worst day is a better basketball player than MJ

I missed that. LeBron hasn't reached Kobes level yet. So it's impossible for him to have a better resume than Jordan.



6 for 6 no game 7s > 2 for 5 with one loss by sweep and another by the largest margin in Finals history. Case closed

Man lets be real



Lebron is on the same level as Kobe

It's close but I'd have to give it to Kobe. I can't say Lebron is on the same level or better.

Kobe really doesn't have anything Lebron doesn't have in terms of credintals

Comparing game not credentials.
In his prime Kobe was a damn good defender but so is Lebron. I give Lebron the edge but Kobe was no slouch.(Close)
Lebron is the better passer but he actually tries. We've seen Kobe when he tries and he's not bad himself.(Kinda close)
Lebron is clearly the better rebounder but that's a given since he's larger and stronger than Kobe.(Clear)
So now we come to the most important part of an individuals game, scoring. Kobe is the clear winner here.(Clear)
Mental toughness: Kobe(Clear), Clutchness: Kobe(Clear), Drive: Kobe(Clear) and if we compare credentials: 5 > 2(Clear)

Like I said, it's close but I can't give it to Lebron. It's definitely debatable though.

You put Carmelo Anthony on those Heat teams and they don't miss a beat.

Ehhhhhhhh

Where are the people who were saying the thunder should trade Westbrook for rondo...

Scott Brooks for Rondo would've been better.

Lebron ain't top 10 all time?


Yikes.

Who said that? You don't have to like the guy. I don't particularly like him, but game is undeniable. He's definitely top 10 all time.

I agree with the intangible part in the Kobe vs Lebron but it's hard to argue intangibles because intangibles they are different to different people

Kevin Love was putting up all time numbers to miss the playoffs


Something we will most likely see again, seeing as he only played one side of the ball

He was playing for a spot in the Western Conference

I'm not trying to cape for Kevin Love

I'm undecided about him

 

[Quincy McCall]

Kinda want Bucks to win a game 

 

[darthska]

I agree that the 07 CLE roster was buns, and that reaching the Finals was absolutely a testament to Bron at the time.

Just wanted to see if that what was being said when I read "Losing to an all-time great Spurs team is the only knock on Bron."

Actually, wait. 2011?

Seeing Donyell Marshall posted reminded me of the time he forgot to put on his jersey as he was checking in against the Sonics
