I remember there was some heat fans after the first LeBron title that claimed Mario Chalmers was the next Magic Johnson. That was funny.

Yup, Kobe has one MVP, and two Finals MVP (though he didn't really deserve one of those). He deserves some credit for the first 3 titles, but he was about as valuable as Irving was for the Cavs for those teams. Lebron was IT for the Cavs this year, and he couldn't do it without Irving, but Lebron was the clear MVP, well same goes for Shaq/Kobe. Anyways, to me Kobe won two titles as the best player on the team, which is good, but every guy on the list did atleast that, with many have more than that, plus more regular season MVPs, etc..Kobe was the best player 1 or 2 years tops. Other than maybe Olajuwon, Russell, and Duncan anybody else on the top 10 of this list was the clear best player in the NBA for atleast 3 years. I respect Kobe, but he is overrated.

I hate him for agreeing that Kobe isn't top 10? I think he's overrated. This year I've heard arguments about him still being better than Lebron, Shaq, and others. I just don't see it. What about my post was wrong?

Yep, have to co-sign this. The thread titled something like "who does the NBA belong to, Curry or Lebron" with a poll favoring Curry at 75% was this years General Board highlight. Pure comedy gold.

Kobe has, so far, had a better career than Lebron. If you think otherwise then...

When people talk about ranking the top 10, their criteria always changes from player to player. One player is slotted at #2 because of rings, the next is slotted at #3 because of MVP's, #4 because of scoring titles, etc etc. (just examples).

We have seen where kids are murdererd and the first reaction of gun enthusiasts is to get defensive about their rediculous toys. Their priorities are clear.

Guns are more important to them than their kids. So how about we simply give up on this generation and compromise? They can keep their guns but will be removed from their parental duties immediately and will be required to see a doctor to ensure no future offspring enter the world.

Within a generation or two, the problem should more or less solve itself.

You're right. This is rediculous. It is rediculous that we have reached this point. But there is nothing funny here.

It's not that simple. I'm not going to argue that 90% of regular fans already consider Lebron>Kobe, since it's just opinion.

Lebron is an more of an overachiever. He allowed a mediocre team to play NBA Finals. Lebron was able to win 60+ games with a below average supporting cast. Kobe lost playoff on his prime, while Lebron was a lock for playoff even in the worst team of the league.

Lebron is way better at boards, assisting, defense. Lebron has efficiency, and it's not even close. Lebron is better closing games. He is better with his back against the wall. All of this is supported by stats.

The only thing Kobe is probably ahead is on last shots to win the game, but I'm not so sure stats can support even that.

Also, Kobe never won a single ring as an underdog. He always had the best supporting cast around him, and for most of the rings he was part of the supporting cast. He also had an atrocious game 7 in the most important game of his career.

Kobe is a legend. He's great. He is top 8-12 ever depending on your criteria. But Lebron already acomplished much more than Kobe, unless you only look at rings.

As he watches this brilliant contortionist slide past him with the greatest ease and confidence his soul wilts till it has reached the point of extinction

His speed and skill is one thing but this is a gentleman with wisdom which belies his true age. This cunning craftsman overwhelms his defenders not only with his physical gifts, which are plenty, but also with his stupendous cerebral approach which can never be underestimated. He utilizes his keen eye for the game and superior guile and ultimately leaves his opponent dismayed and shocked at what has been demonstrated before him. He is a performer, that should be understood, but is also a battle tested warrior looking for new and greater challenges. We are in a great age when we get to see this exquisite athlete perform before us.

Mr Puddles wrote:I used to have a pet frog named Mr. Buttons. Being bullied most of my life, Mr Buttons was the only friend I had growing up. I would share my deepest secrets with him, and every time he would "ribbit" I would imagine that he was laughing at one of my jokes, or that he was providing me with sage life advice.

One morning, on my birthday, I woke up and couldn't find Mr Buttons anywhere. He'd sometimes hop around the house, and would usually come back to my bedroom not much later, so I figured he'd be back soon. I told my dad I couldn't find mr buttons anywhere, but my dad said not to worry and that if I played outside for a while he'd have a special surprise for me when I got back home. After playing for a while, I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my best friend in the world but still I couldn't find Mr. Buttons anywhere. I searched high and low, but he was nowhere to be found. I put up flyers around town, asking everyone I knew if they had seen my buddy, but to no avail. As it started to get dark outside, my mom called me back in the house. As we sat down for dinner, my dad told me he was ready to give me my surprise. As he put dinner on the table, and lifted the lid of the stew he had made he looked and me and said "look son, I found Mr. Buttons". As a glanced at the stew I saw my buddy looking back at me, covered in thyme and marinated onions.

I cried uncontrollably until I finally fell asleep. The next morning I was having breakfast as I saw my mother walk down the stairs from her bedroom and into the kitchen. She asked me if I had seen my dad anywhere. I told her not to worry and that if she played outside for a while I'd have a special surprise for her after she got back home.

As I'm writing you this story from a correctional facility in an undisclosed location, I'd just like to say that I'm only allowed to use the internet here for about 15 minutes a day. And today, I'd like to use that time to let OP know that his suggestion for Dennis Rodman to change his name to Redman is the dumbest idea I've ever heard in my entire life.
