Two clips from the Magic, Cavs game about how 'Amazing' Lebron is...
1st... Comes from behind to 'block' a 360 degree break-away dunk.... Alllllll WRIST!!! Didn't even touch the ball... No call... 'Clean' block.... AMAZING!
2nd... Another come from behind where he blocks a Lee lay-up... Lee's hand is above the rim and the ball is clearly on the way down when James bounces it off the backboard.... I think he got body too... No call... 'Clean' block.... AMAZING!
Used this as evidence about how fast and strong Lebron is and talked about the term 'Chasedown' which they said was created to describe Lebrons amazingness... They said the term had never been used before Lebron came to Cleveland... Yeah... Never heard that one before... AMAZING!
Now Lebron is great, and incredibly physically gifted, and Kobe is clearly not the same player he was 2 years ago...
But I'd respect Lebron a lot more if they called the game the same for him as for everyone else...
He gets tons of clean blocks but in the playoffs he's been goaltending about half the time. He fouls a lot... Everytime he drives through the lane, he drops his shoulder and knocks people out of the way. AND FOR THE RECORD... I DON'T CARE... I just wished they let EVERYONE get away with that... I like seeing blocks... If they're not obviously Goaltending, let them play...
Hell, DHoward is twice as physically gifted and incredibly skilled for his position, and he doesn't get the respect Lebron does from the refs. Wade doesn't either... Nor does CP3...
Lebron is going to be the greatest in the game and my criticism is for the league not Lebron...
Hell, I'm watching it now and the announcers are playing up a Lebron/Kobe confrontation... They seem to be trying to suggest Kobe is afraid of Lebron...
Last night Vince MacMahan threatened to start a Basketball league... I think he already did.

Re: Jerry West: Lebron is better than Kobe
Like I told a professional gamer months ago, "Lebron is the best Running Back in the game, he only needs 1 dribble to get to the rim, and to add insult to injury, the black and whites all got him."
David has already shot off his left nut and saved himself from testicular cancer.
He's still got his right nut now.
His only nut.

Re: Jerry West: Lebron is better than Kobe
Well, you gotta look at all the angles
Physicality : Lebron > Kobe
Leadership : Lebron > kobe
Speed : Lebron > Kobe
Passing : Lebron > Kobe
Explosiveness: Lebron > Kobe
Midrange : Kobe > Lebron
Impossible Shots: Kobe > Lebron
Move Versatility : Kobe > Lebron
Clutch Plays : Kobe > Lebron (this includes making crucial free throws)
Killer Instinct : Kobe >>>>>> Lebron
Defense: Even
3 Pointers: Even (Kobe still has the better form, so I would give him a slight edge)
I still trust the ball in Kobe's hand when it matters down the stretch. He's more versatile than Lebron, and is the most skilled player in the game today since Jordan.

Re: Jerry West: Lebron is better than Kobe
passing is a wash.
therefore kobe comes out 5 to 4!
Nice way of judging the players, btw. +1

Re: Jerry West: Lebron is better than Kobe
Lebron perimeter and free throw shooting are still liabilities.
And nobody is more protected in this league by referees.

Re: Jerry West: Lebron is better than Kobe
i'm a bulls fan so right or wrong if i'm trying to pick out anyone who is the best i will always compare them to mj. if i'm looking for someone for the season or over several years it's lebron easy. he's a freak athletically that you can compare to almost no one... throw in the fact he doesn't have the huge ego most true superstars have who do you really compare him to?
that being said if its down to game 7 in a playoff series i'm choosing kobe every time. he has that big game i'm going to win no matter what attitude that mj had. lebron could have it but we haven't seen it yet.
my point being your really can't pick between the two. it just depends on what you need. their both great. it's like bird vs magic thier both great and you can't really compare the two.
