Kobe's legacy is secure. Bron's will only get worse as the Finals losses continue to pile up and eventually he stops making them all together. It's happened a bit faster than expected, I must admit. I could see KD being the next guy up, Steph's rapid ascension on the other hand was almost completely unexpected if you go back to 3 seasons ago.
 
laker fan first. name is lakersman3000 not kobesman3000. secondly , i dont get how kobe fans are threatened. thats one of the dumbest things ive heard. nobody in they  right mind thinks lebron is/was  better kobe. kobe fans dont even have to try to argue it anymore. kobe legacy is done  . let it go..... 

if you love lebron thats okay just dont make stupid excuses why you dont want to hate him or "clown" him.

KD was being polite and waiting in line behind Lebrun and steph just cut in front of him

KD will never be the best player in the league

It takes a while for the #1 dude to get overthrown man. We need more time before annointing Steph the #1 dude.

Let's say if CLE wins the title this year, you dudes that are saying Steph, will you take back your vote?

This isn't Power Rankings, the crown should't switch hands every 3 months

Apparently Lebby should get the honorary "best in the league" treatment. Like those last few Kobe all-defense awards. Don't base it off the play on the court where he hasn't been "the best" for three years now... use his time in Miami.
 
Bron last Best in the World season was the last title he won. Three years ago. KD and Steph better than him. It's just the evolution of the game.

If you wanna get analytical about his shooting lets get analytical about his defense.

Lebron doesn't play defense, but opponents are shooting over 11% worse when guarded by Lebron.

#Washed

26 7 & 6 for a team that looks poised to go to the finals, his 7th consecutive final...but washed

:lol:
 
chris paul could have made at least 4 straight finals if he played in the east

getting to the finals in the east is meaningless, at any given year 3-4 west teams could have done it

he cant shoot anymore, doesnt play defense, his team is only a "contender" because of his conference, he takes subtle shots at his teammates, shows bad leadership by constantly quitting on his team, doesnt get to the foul line as much as before, is a step slower than 3 years ago, randomly takes weeks off to play GM. 

either he was never that good or he's washed now. 

over the years he's mastered the art of stat padding without much effect on the game. see any highlight of him forcing his team to play 4v5 so he can stay on offence to cry at the refs and cherry pick.

biggest game of the season, talks about revenge before the game, loses by 30. has the worst +- of his entire team, only stays in the game to stat pad

You using hypotheticals bruh

How you know CP could have went to four straight finals if he played in the east?

How you know know the cavs wouldnt be contenders if they play in the west?

How you know 3 or 4 west teams could do what the Heat / Cavs have done on any given year?

You allowing your hate to argue in hypotheticals. I dont even know if you're serious right now :lol:

If Lebron is so washed, why just cite his shooting? The fact that he can't shoot and is still effiicent speaks volumes of how unwashed he is

If you believe Lebron isnt the best in the league thats fine. But he does have a case and he isn't washed.
 
How can people still call him the best in the league after he lost by 40 and plays in a weak *** conference. We expect him to be in the finals that's a given , but there's way better players tha him particularly in the western conference, he wouldn't even make it out the first round. He just perfected the art of stat stuffing like my Mans said. It's over for LeBron. Curry's the new generation it skill over size now. I'll be surprised if they're aren't any centers 5-10 years from now.

here's a non hypothetical for you, lebron is 0-2 i the past two years vs western playoff teams

that alone means the west >> the east

his biggest challenge has been an injured bulls team

making the finals is pointless if you dont win

his shooting is awful, his defense is awful, his leadership is awful, his handles have always been awful

kobe has had 2 week stretches this season where he has put up empty, efficent stats but he's still the most washed player in the league

this is basketball, not fantasy basketball.

How is his defense awful? So we can use stats to prove that his shooting is awful but we cant use them to prove that his defense is good?

How do you measure one's leadership? And how is that awful?

How are his handles awful? Because they dont look appealing to you?

You see how many holes there are in what you're saying? You sound ridiculous bro :lol:

Lebron washed but you cant name 4 players in the entire league better than him. Period.

You using hypotheticals, bringing up **** you cant prove to drive home a tired point that makes NO sense. This is just one big mess :lol:

25 7 & 6 on efficient splits for a team thats 28-11. Been a good defender this year despite the tired narrative that he hasnt. But he's washed. Sounds silly
