So when KG went to Boston and turned their D into one of the best defenses in YEARS it was really because of Ray Allen and Posey and all the other roster fill??

Yeah sit and think about that my friend.. if you were a basketball player you wouldnt win jack either..

You do what you do for your team to WIN.. if u can drop stupid #’s along the way fine but if not know ur role.. just cuz they superstars dont mean they dont have a role.. Allen Iverson anyone??

Lol all everyone can jump on is “You said Lebron isnt elite!?!? how dare u!!”

knocs, of course i know he is elite.. but its funny how everyone gotta bring Kobe into the discussion..

Kobe was 3 time champion by the time he was 24.. NO DISCUSSION.. So you all must know Lebron couldve led the charge that Kobe led against Portland in that playoff series?? lol actually i know.. he wouldve either charged or choked.. Could Lebron have locked down the other teams best player at 24?? Nah but aye he couldve blocked him on a fast break! YAY!

Yawn.. the discussion is so tiring.. accomplishments vs hype and what ifs..

HMMMMMMMMMM who wins..

there aint no point in arguing because there is no arguement.. like i said.. your boy got to win something to impress me and pure basketball purists.. until then i still see bad footwork (LMAO they legalized the crab dribble for him??), charges and clutch time bricks.. He still bricking clutch FT’s?? DAMN..

IMO hes WACK.. he should chalk up 2-3 more charges a game.. and 2 should be in the end of close games cuz hes retardedly predictable.. just like CP3 should get 2-3 more pushoff fouls a game.. but aye thats just the way it is..

And HONESTLY NO i didnt think KG was elite because he didnt ACCOMPLISH THE MAIN GOAL IN ALL OF SPORTS after being a beast for so many years.. after a while stats dont mean shit.. thats why so many superstars start hopping teams looking for rings later on their careers..

But KG got his ring and the stats to back it up..

It dont go the other way around..

How soon we forget Kobe airballing 3s in the playoffs. Lebron is a better player at 24 than Kobe was. Kobe was mastering his craft really? In Kobe’s 6th season he was shooting 25% from downtown, that’s dominating. BTW Lebron is at 36%.

Let me know when Smokie shows up to your party.

I don’t which is worse JSmooth/Al better than Pau/Bynum or LBJ not elite and hasn’t worked on his game like Kobe.

Alledgedly, Gilbert’s girl is pregnant….only she would know the truth.

Yea, Pau is not that tough. I recall Horford dominating him in a game in ATL Horford’s rookie (I believe) year–and Horford is vastly improved. (Look it up; I don’t have to.) And yes, Pau is not what he was when he was go-to center for Memphis, winning rookie of year and single-handedly taking them to the playoffs a couple of years.

Naw, J-Smoove realistically did not deserve All-Star game last year–I am not that biased.

And note to NBA (and school of life?) novice–a good start is always nice. Once you start on a roll, it often keeps rolling (and the flip side). And would anyone today bet Atlanta doesn’t make playoffs? Phoenix? How about N.J.–anyone think they will make playoffs? How is Milwaukee looking? Anyone now think Atlanta might be top 3 seed in East? Anyone think Atlanta will have 2 guy on All Star team (not voted; chosen by coaches)? Last 2 items still may not happen–but certainly does not seem as farfetched today as 3 weeks ago. Bottom line: Like most things, it is great to get things off to nice start and build momentum. Compare Heat this year vs. last year.

@ LAballer: I am crazy comparing Oden and Aldridge to Bynum and Pau? Question: What’s the difference between Lakers and Trailblazers? Answer: Kobe.

I know he pushes the envelope but read everything he said.. its kinda spot on the situation.. and honestly i havent addressed the Lebron in football thing because (i hate to say but as Whitlock said) the only reason it came up was because Mangini didnt want to talk about the season and said he’d welcome Lebron.. BUT he did have some valid points;

A)All of a sudden because LJ wants 23 retired the WHOLE LEAGUE should do it?? and his basis for this was “because he was the greatest to play”?? another media response from a media darling.. no depth and didnt make much sense to me.. he said Jordan did so much for the game?? NO Russell, Erving and Magic paved the way for him to PLAY.. Jordan made a one man show exciting..

B)He aint won shit yet to have his eye wandering over to the football side and as someone who has played both sports as a professional football player i would be offended for him to think he can jump onto my stage after his only credence is dominatin high school kids.. at least make sure your game is sound.. post up anyone??

And there are no more comparisons between Kobe and Lebron.. i wont even address cuz its nonsense.. Lebron needs to win something before i even look at him as a true elite player.. look at the REAL elite players right now.. hes a media darling and thats all.. and the way he is treated on the court by the refs is an insult to players who have had to work their way up and fans who like said players..

Kobes, Dwade, Duncan, KG.. they all won a championship for their team.. only one not on their is Melo and he barely became elite.. and its frightening for me to admit it but i think Melo’s game will win Denver a chip eventually..

i hope Lebron avg those #’s.. if he didnt you would need to justify how the man touches the ball 80+ times a game and aint droppin shit..
