2003
I'm just curious what season it was exactly that LeBron became the best player in the league.
I don't know the answer!
Gun to my head I'd say 2007-2008.
2003
Probably Game 5 of the 2007 ECF
08-09 season was when he became the undisputed best player, but the year before there was still some debate imo
when he moved to Miami
IMO, he became arguably the best player when he took that team to the Finals and had that magnificent performance against the Pistons.
I think it became indisputable (except by Kobe knobslobbers/Lebron haters) the year he somehow won 66 games with another team.
It became indisputable by even the biggest of Kobe knobslobbers/Lebron haters this past year after winning the championship.
if he was that good as you claim him to be...why he lose the next 4 games in the finals?
This is what I have always felt. But many people will debate it because of his playoff "failures", without paying attention to just how awful his teams were.
Walk into oncoming traffic.
Kobe was clearly the better player up until 2009.
because his team was absolute garbage.
im not sure there is any player in NBA history that could have found a way to take a team that bad, to the finals. MJ might be the only one with a remote shot, but somehow Lebron's unselfish play and natural creativity is what had those guys playing out of their minds in that run, and allowed them to get as far as they did. MJ would have probably not had the patience that Lebron had, to continue being willing to trust his teammates. Magic is the only other guy that comes to mind (because of his creativity and teamwork), but he didn't have the ability to affect the game defensively like Lebron could, nor score like Lebron could.
you're an idiot
shaq from 00-04, duncan in 05, wade in 06, lebron 07-10, dirk in 11, lebron 12-present
Probably 2006-07.
Duncan>Shaq after 2002
At approximately this moment....
i think the debate started in that 07 playoff run. at that point i thought he was the best player, but there was still debate. considering i live in LA the debate still goes on (sad part is, its true. they still think bean > bron). in my head he was the best since 07, it became common knowledge everywhere except LA since about 2008 or 2009
1999, 2003 & 2005 - Duncan
2000 - 2002 - Shaq
2004 - KG
2006 - 2007 - Kobe
2008 - Present - Lebron
Although Dirk stole his best player in the league cookie in 2011 by having one of the more memorable playoff runs of the past decade and outperforming Lebron in the Finals.
Absolutely not.... one bad series wasn't enough to put the Kang below Dirk, let's be real now...
pau cosign ot
easts compe ion was anyway, could care less what he or any out easts did anything worth mentioning...same with that clown rapists in 07
anyone can get hot for a stretch of games, lets not forget how nazi dirk came down to earth in the finals and shot a classic kobe stat line of 40%, if big daddy chandler wasn't there to save his ass and lebronze didn't choke in the final series, he wouldn't have his fluke championship...are you saying 2 years ago dirk was the best player in the league and now all of a sudden, he's a washed up bag, come on son, doesn't really add up, tbqh
