Only thing LeBron is missing is the passion to obliterate his opponents.
LeBron even said himself he doesn't have it.

The fact that he said shows you how close it is though. You don't hear anybody saying Kobe is better then Wade or Pierce because it's obvious. Lebron is Kobe's only challenge or and the only player that comes close. I believe Kobe is better then Jordan so of course he beats out Lebron imo but Lebron is right there. If they all played together at the same time the arguements would be split 3 ways and when it's over there will be a new holy trinity. Kobe and Lebron are gonna push out Magic and Bird.

Doesn't saying it burn his bridge in Clevland? He only got 10 days from us. True or not why say it unless he was asked.

I dont think for one minute that Newble is selling out LBJ. He is stating his opinion and based on 1st hand knowledge he knows LBJ would feel the same. LBJ says so publicly many times.

No shots, or barbs or anything like that. It was respect shown to Kobe and Ira made a point to bring up LBJ because he has probably heard him say that on mancy occasions.

Im suprised he would say that after being with us 1 game. After how long he's been with lebron. But he's right.

Ira is showing his respect to kobe. he was just restating what lebron had stated soo many times. Newble wasnt saying anything to disrespect Lebron. He knows Lebron is good, and they both know KObe has that killer instinct. Hope we can keep him for the rest of the season, heard he is a good locker room vet.

Like NBA players know anything? What do they know?

The real objective opinions belong to nerds who create little statistical formulas in their mom's basement in New Jersey. I'm talking about John Hollinger.
