Why LeBron Will NEVER Be Kobe...Cleveland is FINISHED.
Citizen-Y:
Lebron reminded me of 2006 Kobe in this series. I guess knowing that ginger man nailed your mom will do that to you.

Exactly. All the greats go through it...to say, at 26, Lebron will NEVER be as good as Kobe is straight stupid....guess how many titles MJ had at 26??
Lebron still has no post game; once he gets one, it is LIGHTS OUT for others. Antwan Jamison, Mo Williams, and a washed up Shaq ARE NOT what he needs. Neither is Mike Brown.
Kobe struggled to be the man on a championship team, Jordan struggled to win until he was 28...I'd say Lebron has some time still.
Lebron will take the loss as motivation to get better and become more of a leader. No player has ever went through a career without hardships. Lebron didn'
t play great in the playoffs, but he'll be fine and still win a couple of chips along the way.,

The current LeBron would have to play 2nd-tier to a player like Kobe to win a ring, and that's all there really is to it.

Teams that win 60 games aren't mediocre, plain and simple. BUT, if you watch the Cavs, and you seem to be an expert, you know their offense is majorly flawed and too Lebron centred (as you have said many times); there is no movement, too much Lebron...Lebron NEEDS a real, just like Kobe does, just like MJ did...
Come on NIK, you telling me you would be happy if Jamison was the second option, or Mo Williams?
The cavs weren't medicore, but just like last year they weren't quite good enough. Lebron had a part in that no doubt. See, unlike certain Lakers fans who praise only Kobe when they win and blame others when they lose, most Cavgs fans (i am not even really a cavgs fan by the way) will tell you straight up Lebron wasn't good enough in the playoffs.
Kinda like Kobe in 2006 and 2008.
peace

Here's the difference...
in 2006, Kobe willed a team to the postseason..a team who no one expected to make the playoffs. Kobe had them overachieving to the max. He single-handedly pushed them to accomplish way more than anyone ever expected.
in 2010, LeBron let down a team that was expected to win it all by most analysts and NBA fans. He single-handedly ruined any chance they had to win the championship with his lackadaisical play and weak effort.
No real comparison.

Like I said in my previous post, Kobe '06 and LeBron '10 are two different worlds. When you look at both scenarios, Kobe pushed his team to overachieve, while LeBron held his team to underachieve. HUGE difference.
