hes a great player, but if i was a coach i wouldnt be very confident trying to reinvent the half court offense to please one player
Those guys did not run the team. They gave the ball to Jordan and stayed ready to shoot. Phil used to always yell at them and tell them not to just watch Jordan play.
Bron as strong as he is, and as much as he controls the ball does not force things over and over. Sometimes, yes, but reads the game and takes what is given to him.

Dude, their coach sucks. He knows nothing about offense. If you give him someone like Billups or ... it would just make him better. But he is so good with the ball and so unselfish that it makes sense to run offense through him.
May not be traditional, but it works.
Back in the day it wasn't believed you needed 8,000 all stars on one team to be a contender. Look at the Knicks. I was a huge fan of theirs but when I watch old video of them all I recognize are Starks, Oakley and Ewing -- but they played as a team.
and mason and mark jackson one of the greatest pgs of all time but i hear you
If Lebron wins at least 3 championships and plays at the level he's playing right now for at least 5 more years he's a top 5 players of all time.
No doubt, LeBron James is the best player in the NBA. He could hold that distinction for the next 5-10 years. I do believe he's pretty self-absorbed, but so is Michael Jordan and most elite athletes, and the media remains on his nuts.
But, when it comes down to it LeBron represents a combination of athleticism, size, skill and power that the league hasn't seen since Wilt. I didn't like him to begin his career, God we were hearing hype about this guy since he was junior in high school, but eventually even I came around. He's an amazing athlete that continues to improve even to this day. He'll go down as one the 5-10 greatest NBA players ever, and we'll be able to recall how in the 2007 NBA Finals a 6'7, 215 lbs. Bruce Bowen locked his ass down to win a championship.
That was an early Bron year. I don't think Bowen at his elite years could have done it to lebron today; now, he is just too strong.
I mean no disrespect, but for me that's irrelevant. Bruce had the assignment to guard a guy that outweighed him by 40 or 50 pounds, was far superior to him athletically and had torch the Spurs in the regular-season match up. Oh, and LeBron had just come off a record-breaking performance in the last round.
I'm an 80's baby, too. But, I've got to admit that most of that first statement rings true. We're the beginning of the "look at me" at ude and it only get worse from here.There you go... that nails it! Ego. Hubris. I'm speaking in generalities and of course their are exceptions. With Facebook, Myspace, twitter and god knows what the "look at me" factor is pretty sickening in your generation.
He is talented. But so was Magic, Bird, Jordan, and even Kobe. They all had ego's but it was UNDERSTOOD and SILENT, not so demonstrative.....
I don't hate him, but I dislike his at ude toward basketball history and personal leadership. I can't stand it when players reform to themselves as "leader" or act as the defacto best player (even if it's true)...it's not humble and when they lose he basically makes it seem like his team is a bunch of bench guys that he needs to lead to the promise land (even if it's true). He talks about MJ's #23, but he seems to forget that Bill Russell and Julius Erving built #6...if the dude wanted to be "cool" he'd choose #25, 1 better than Kobe since I think he IS the player of this generation. It'd be a uva story line too.
Other than that, his handlers do a good job keeping his image in control and he's not making dumb life decisions. He just thinks he's smarter and a better leader than he actually is.
Can't complain about his game. Its the other stuff that annoys me.. he's a poor loser.. sure you can be compe ive but be man enough to admit that you're not infallible..
No.
i hate him because he gets every call
