Lebron James

[woodyk1]

Funny that Kobe passing the ball is something he can be criticized for considering many of the average fans say, "Kobe shoots too much."

And in 2006 the Suns were the 2 seed, the Lakers the 7. Kobe had nobody around him, and that Game 7 was at Phoenix. The Lakers were "supposed" to lose.

The last two years the Cavs have had the best record in the league, and been the #1 overall seed, and a favorite to win the title.

Also, Kobe was not the "MVP" in 2006. Although you may want the similarities to be there, they really aren't. LeBron has never won anything aside from individual awards. As I said before, I will start respecting him when he starts his sentences with "We..." and not "I..." Oh, and when he wins a ring. Don't tell me he does not have the talent that he needs, or that Kobe has. LeBron has Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison, who have both been all stars in the past two years. Shaq is old, but solid. I actually think Cleveland is a deeper team than the Lakers.

Crazy part is that the Cavs could win tonight and Sunday and move on to face Orlando in the East Finals. This series is not over, although many people, myself included are talking like it is.

I agree that LeBron has some growing up to do. He has had some good players around him this year and they have been the #1 seed the past couple of years. I agree that has been annointed a little soon in his career. He even pointed out that he's only 25.

I am just trying to point out that Kobe had some growing up to do as well. It looks like he has done it for the most part. He plays with injuries and proved that he can win being the focal point of the team. He is definitely driven by the championships.

So you don't think Kobe quit against the Suns when he refused to shoot. What about his horrible finals performances against the Pistons and Celtics? He gave up in Game 6 at Boston as his Lakers got destroyed. And you can't really be comparing the talent around LeBron to the talent around Kobe. Gasol, Bynum and Odom give the Lakers three post scoring options better than anything LeBron has. Shaq is not solid. He's a black hole on offense and can't guard anyone, the Cavs are much better off with Hickson and Varejo playing most of the minutes. Kobe also has Phil Jackson as coach while LeBron has Mike Brown who's trying to play 11 guys in a playoff game, and throwing out new line ups ever two minutes.

But tonight's game is the biggest of LeBron's career and will affect how people remember his career. If he comes up with two huge games and the Cavs win, no one will ever talk about Game 5, if they lose then he will start to be labeled as a guy who can't win the big one and chokes when it matters most.

Mo Williams is one of the most overrated players in the league, Jamison is old. Lebron does need to grow up and I hate Kobe but you CANNOT seriously compare Gasol to Jamison. Hell, I would take Derek Fisher over Mo Williams. Williams turns into Brick Williams in the playoffs

 

[GoHawks24]

The bottom line is that Kobe has MUCH better talent surrounding him and all you have to do is take a look at the stats to see that LeBron's #s are much better all-around. If LeBron wants to win a title I think he has to get out of Cleveland. That city is cursed.

Rooting for the Celts tonite,not because I like them,or dislike Lebron,but because I like him as a player and want him to see the light...no way are the Cavs going to have a better chance to win the title than this year,so he might as well join Rose and Noah in Chicago and win multiple titles. Go Celts.

I think LeBron is gone now unless the Cavs win the title, and even if the Cavs do make it past the Celtics they're going to struggle with both the Magic and the Lakers.

 

[hawks23]

First off, Lebron and Kobe are both great. I like Lebron better than Kobe and I think he is better than Kobe. That doesn't take anything away from Kobe.

No one can seriously argue that the Cavs have a better supporting cast than the Lakers. The Magic also have a better supporting cast around Howard. Shaq is old. Mo is too streaky. Jamison is good.

I'm very excited to see the game tonight. Lebron is going to be very aggressive and the Cavs will force a game 7. If anyone has any doubts on Lebron watch tonight and get back to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

lebron will go to chicago where his idol played

Anyone watching this game see Shaq switch pivot foots 2-3 times without being called for traveling. That really annoys me while watching NBA. Good game so far. Lebron's shot looks bad right now. Lucky for Lebron Mo is finally producing. Getting sick of all the Lebron talk of where he will be next year. Let it be until after the game at least.

That used to annoy me until i stopped watching. WWE wrestling is a step up from the NBA IMHO.
