Lebron has had one year where he's had actual teammates and thus far has an incomplete. I don't need to wait for him to win a few rings before I say that he's one of the all-time greats.
Yeah, while baseball is a series of 1 on 1 events, it seems pretty apparent that one individual can make a greater difference in basketball than they can in baseball. That said, seriously, Jamario Moon.
your team is down by 1 with 5 seconds to play. Would you rather have LeBron, Wade, Kobe or Dirk take the final shot? If I have all 4 of those guys on my team why am I down by 1? If I can only have 1, I'd take the player that leaves me the least likely to be down 1 at the end of the game. (LBJ) nice dodge Aww booooo, bring back your comment about what score Lebron leaves you with.

You're acting like Jordan single-handedly won those titles. If he ran out there with Jamario Moon as his #2, he wouldn't have done much either. So you think if Lebron just practiced more, he'd have a better jump shot? Why doesn't Geovany Soto hit more HRs??? Must not be a killer. ETA: You said you don't think Lebron is the best player in the NBA, are you arguing it's Kobe?
I woke my daughter up yelling at that. My whole family was asleep upstairs during the 2nd Gibson dunk and I just dropped on the floor and screamed into the carpet. My son had just gone to sleep around the 1st dunk so I just pumped my fist and did some crazy kicking motion that my wife thought was interesting. Anytime, I yell and cheer at the Bulls when my 4yo son is awake, even if he's in the other room, he'll yell "Gimme the hot sauce!" lol I've taught my daughter to root for the Bulls, but she makes it sound like a race war. "The white ones are good and the red ones are bad!" Road games are going to be tricky.
Lebron takes less shots at the rim (Why are we looking down on this again?) than Derrick Rose. To go along with this he shoots at a better rate from every distance except 3 (0.2% advantage to Rose in eFG%) Was that a serious question?
i love mazzaro's line from that game - 2.1 ip, 11 h, 14 er, 3 bb, 2 k, 1 hr. wonder when was the last time a reliever gave up 14 runs (or anyone gave up 14 runs for that matter). He had a 2.5 WHIP coming into the game. And it increased. By 1.29.
James Posey was the Heat who clotheslined Kirk. Wasn't a clothesline, it was a premeditated free-safety hit in the open floor. It was the dirtiest play I've ever witnessed live in the NBA, and considering I watched Rajon Rondo a few years later that is saying something. Haha, ok.
There was a promo for the new Cameron Diaz movie "The Bad Teacher" in which Jason Segal is arguing with a student about Lebron V. Jordan. Student: Oh, your entire argument is six championships? Segal: That's the only argument I need! That about sums it up. We can also discuss how next year would put Lebron at the age where Jordan won his first title. Then we can move on to the assorted bags of crap that were Lebron's teammates up until this year. and you said the cavs without lebron were better than the bulls last year. or maybe that was TT. Not I
