Reason being is cuz SHAQ won those ;) :thumbsup :pimp

I think there is no comparison to Lebron. To be honest, he has skills of all the greats. He's bigger than Jordan and can play the foward spot. Jordan could never have done that. He passes and has vision like Magic, he can hit clutch 3 pointers like Reggie Miller, he can dominate a game and take it over, he can make all the players around him better. I truly think he is the best all around basketball player to ever play. I think over the years, he will break all kinds of records and most importantly lead his team to titles.

Please.....He didn't do it alone

Agreed .... look at the Fakers now. They got Kobe and Phil and they SUCK. No one player makes a team .... its a group of guys that have chemistry .. like the Pistons. No crazy standout player there, but just a bunch of good players that all work well together like a well oiled machine.

The cavs have that same chemistry. Just watch and see what they do over the next few years.

we forgot about T-MAC folks :thumbsup

Whatfucking ever.. Look at the Lakers since Shaq left :thumbsup

The facts prove it! :1orglaugh

He HAS the killer instinct for sure. Lacks the clutch drive to the lane? What? Have we been watching the same games. I have the basketball package and watch almost all their games. This year was when he got his 3 point game together and thats why no one can guard him now. He can drive to the whole and finish while getting fouled or step back and drop a 3.

I even talked to Yoda and he agrees ... Lebron is a Jedi Master.

Jordan wasn't alone either he had pippen(was considered 2nd best player in the nba during jordan's career) :thumbsup

exactly, so Kobe is like Pippen and NOT Jordan, behind someone's shadow

Mike is deeply disappointed in you, D-Money

http://i.tsn.com/i/o/jordan/photo8.jpg

I can still see the play in my head over and over again-
I was at OSU with all my frat bros from Detroit and I never heard the end of it- it still makes me cry seeing Jordan hit that jumper
:-((
Thanks Ramos I am now going to shave my ass and squat in a bowl of gin...
:mad:

No I was thinking more like shaq as pippen :thumbsup

Key words: DURING JORDAN'S CAREER!

In other words.. he was good cuz he had jordan LOL

Whatever man.. Look at facts.. Look at the Lakers with Shaq and look at them now.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

How can Kobe be THAT good when the same team that went to the playoffs.. with D wade .. get traded to LA and then Kobe who u are saying is better than Dwayne.. takes his place ( dwayne's ) yet the lakers suck ass! LOL

The facts speak for themselves.. kobe is talented and very good one on one scorer.. he sucks cock as a baller! Fuck kobe!

Dont even put kobe in the same level as lebron and dwayne! :thumbsup

D. Wade is better than LeBron and Carmelo IMO because not only can he take over a game but he makes the other players on the team better because of his ball handling and passing.
Watch out for the Heat once Shaq comes back. :winkwink:

Now u are just being stupid on purpose! :1orglaugh :upsidedow

I didnt want to say that cuz im from Miami.. so Im biased.. but can u imagine with a healthy shaq and zo playing like he is playing!!! :thumbsup :winkwink:

LB is the most exciting player in the NBA to watch

That was nasty but Zo leads the league in blocked shots and shot blockers are going to get dunked on.
And the fact Zo is even playing at this kind of level is a miracle considering he had a kidney transplant.

What the hell is this shit Michael Jordan would be mad as a mother fucker if he saw this! are u serious na never that big up to all my south side hustlers in the chi town fuck ohio never will there be another M.J .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....................................

For the love of the game

100% agree with ya. Kobe should be playing in that street ball league, not the NBA. He is a one man show and not a team player. D Wade is 10x the better player. You need more than point scoring to be the best.

LMAO
:1orglaugh

Shit, he looks mad at me.

It's easy to set records if your the only one on your team that gets the ball.

Koby = way better.

See how many his selfish ass wins now Shaq is gone. Donut. Zero and he never will. Kobe does nothing to make the players around him better like Jordan did. Scottie Pippen wouldn't have been half the player he was without Mike. And remember, the Bulls really didn't have a top notch center. Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright. Please!

Cant argue with ignorance, If you think D wayne is better than kobe you are smoking that good shit, common what has he done in the nba, nothing. Dude dont ever say that again. :helpme :helpme

Your right about the center position but dont forget about rodman, one of the strongest rebounders in the game ever.

No one compares to Jordan and no one ever will. But no one will ever be the next Magic, or Bird, or Dr. J or Chamberlin, but Lebron will be classified as one of the best with all those top names.

The thing about Lebron is that he has a lot of talents. He is kinda a combination of a lot of good players. Thats what makes him no unique. Top scorer, rebounder, crazy vision and assists, 3 point threat, and most important, he knows how to get the other players on his team involved.

Right now, Lebron is the BEST over all player in the league ..... there is no doubt about it.

let's don't forget also that Kobe is pussy wipped and a someones bitch

http://sportsmed.starwave.com/i/maga...yant_press.jpg

just throwing that in the mix too

Good point about no one compares to jordan or magic or bird

I just moved out here from Fort Lauderdale and I'm a huge Heat fan. I went to the home opener against the Pacers when Shaq got injured.
They're gonna be fine once J. Will, Posey and Walker all get in synch with the rest of the team. And Zo coming off the bench when Shaq is back. Oh my! :thumbsup

Again... we are talking facts.. What has kobe done ? Won championships.. please! He would have never passed the first round w/o Shaq! Actually HE DID NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS WITHOUT SHAQ :winkwink:

Tell me what has kobe done? How much better have his teams been since he's been playing? How many MVP has he won? Even what he is only good at.. scoring, how many scoring titles?

Punk! Kobe aint shit! bitch!

Even better.. just look up match ups.. Check the games where kobe and wade have played against each other.. look at the records and look at stats!!

And just in case.. This xmas.. we'll see it !! :winkwink: :thumbsup

You're all wiggers.

Every single last one of you bastards.

Let's see: In Wade's rookie season, they went to the second round of the playoffs--without Shaq btw. And in his second season, he and the Heat went to the Eastern Conference finals, playing with an injury as was Shaq.
Hey Kobe, :321GFY

This thread is saturated with people who THINK they know basketball. Lebron will never come anywhere close to breaking the amount of records that Michael Jordan has.

Remember Jordan went to college and STILL had this type of impact on the game. Lebron didn't go to college so he has a head start and he STILL wont even come to close. If you think he is the next Jordan, that man has a lot of work to do. Jordan broke A LOT of his records in the playoffs!

Also remember that the NBA today is different from the NBA of yesterday. Jordan went through Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas and all the other greats of that time to get his championships. He's played with and beat the best.

Lebron is good but he aint that good.

If anyone will come close, it will be Duane Wayde.

Jordan? Please.

However, I think you can compare him to another Bull... Scottie Pippen. Lebron will be better than Pippen, but only in the sense that he'll get 7-10 more points a game and be the go to guy. Overall skills wise I don't think he'll top Pippen though.

I don't see anybody currently in the NBA who can fill Jordan's shoes within the next decade.

Have to start by saying up front I am a Kobe Hater. His punk ass needs to give those rings back. He is the most overated player in the NBA. Man felt good to get that off my chest.

D$ keep C-town alive with me bro.

Don't talk about something you know nothing about

Grant Hill............hot wife....game is lame
Kobe Bryant..........little cry baby
Vince Carter.............scrub
Lebron james.............I agree
Dwyane Wade..............I agree
Penny Hardaway................has been
Jerry Stackhouse...............Bum
Tracy McGrady............had 1 good game, too bad it wasn't in the playoffs

Thats my wrap up...Holla

:1orglaugh

D-Money, we know you're sorry and will never make the mistake of making a thread like this again :winkwink:

When he wins some championships then he is the next jordan till then hes a maybe

LOL

I just felt like getting mad views. Didn't know people were so passionate about this topic.

But I will still say, if anyone has the ability to do it, it's LeBron. All those stats you pull out on Jordan, well of course, he's Jordan and LeBron has many years ahead of him to live up to my projection. So let's not jump on the "D$ don't know shit about basketball wagon". The only way I can prove my statement to be correct will take years. So to say I'm wrong, you'll have to wait and see. I'm not wrong yet and I'm not right yet either.

You guys need to specify what it is you are comparing. Are you talking about raw talent, or someone who makes his team better and makes them win. If you compare VC, Kobe, Dwade and Lebron, you'd have to give raw abilities/talent to either Kobe or Vince Carter, and if you want to argue this, see Vince's games, or his dunk contests, or kobe's games. In terms of making his team better, Lebron and DWade get that, but I can't see which of the two are better, because they are both doing good things. Whoever said this was right, Lebron will reach his potential quickly, and it won't be in the same ballpark as Michael Jordan. In terms of excitement, I still think TMAC or VC or Kobe or Iverson, are the best and most exciting players in the game, followed by Lebron. There's a LOT of guys you people fail to mention in terms of building a legacy or being amazing, just because of all the stupid Lebron hype. I will not be surprised if Lebron doesn't win a ring during his entire career.

Very true.. There's only one Michael Jordan. :thumbsup

Besides, James still needs strong back up ffrom th bench to ensure the team a spot on the play offs..

No one is going to be the next MJ.. but he sure is a player with uber raw talent.

Fuck, for old times sake, let's throw in Harold Miners name also :1orglaugh

IMO, no one can compare MJ to some other NBA players. they can step up in their teams but they won't be able to play like MJ's.

I need to watch more NBA

lebron will be lebron and cement his own legacy

no one willl be the next MJ
