Title: Arenas says Kobe is better than LeBron and Wade
Post by: Halu Sination on January 04, 2007, 11:43:21 AM
Truthfully, it's hard to go at somebody who's the best player in the league. That's just like Dominique going at M.J. It's like, 'C'mon now, you know you're not even in his league.' So there's no point. Truthfully, there's no point....It's hard for me sometimes, when I hear LeBron or D-Wade [as] the No. 1 players in this league, and it's like they look past what [Kobe's] done, what A.I.'s done, because they're getting older. At the end of the day, until they're gone, until they're getting dominated, they're still the No. 1 and 2 players in this league.

dunno if this has been posted, but im sure many at this board would agree with his statement lol

Don't get mad get glad, people got tired of watching Kobe and Iverson, they want something new, that's why Wade gets the hype, who cares if Kobe is still better.

Gilbert always shows K.B. love. Which is another reason why I didn't like it when Kobe attacked him.

Wade's days are numbered. Trust me. That guy is very athletic, but has zero skills/fundamentals. All it's gonna take is one injury to take away that quick first step then what does he have to fall back on? Oh yeah I forgot, he's shooting a whopping 11% from the 3point line  ::)

Good looks don't hurt either. Him being on People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people (or something like that) definitely pushed his popularity.

People want new Icons of the league, that's just what it is. And it's not just about on-court stuff either.

^no that's exactly what it's about. Otherwise you're pretty much saying Wade is better than Kobe because he's one of People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people.

It's not about whose the better basketball player, it's about why certain people chose to promote Wade more than Kobe.

Not a Lakers fan, but I think Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league.

usually people wanna see somethin new and EXCITING, not just new. wade is a boring as fuck compared to kobe or AI.

Wade's days are numbered. Trust me. That guy is very athletic, but has zero skills/fundamentals. All it's gonna take is one injury to take away that quick first step then what does he have to fall back on? Oh yeah I forgot, he's shooting a whopping 11% from the 3point line  ::)

word, arenas is tearin shit up. its a lil scary watchin him (if ur rootin for his team at least) because he takes so many crazy shots, like that long ass 3-point game winner yesterday. but it also makes him one of the most exciting players to watch in the nba.

He's .283% and besides, shooting threes aren't his game.

Okay. Enjoy him while you can. A player who's that reckless at attacking the basket is just asking for an injury. Like I said, he has no shot to fall back on. If he can't attack the basket then get a free-throw, he's usless.

The media can make or destroy a man, you know. Wade is the son of a bitch crackhead who sold crack and who was been in jail several years. His father left him. He lived on the streets and he even got a kid without being married when he was 20. He's not exactly the best man possible to make him an NBA icon. But they did it. They made it look like Wade was raised up in Hollywood by a great family while Kobe is a criminal, thug, raper. And it's not that. That's the power of the media. Wade is loved inside AND OUTSIDE the court. But lol, there's nothing to love about Wade before his NBA time. That's what i'm saying. It's disgusting. I have nothing against Wade, but the fact the media and the NBA is riding his dick so much makes me feel bad about him. I don't like it, i don't like him.

Not in that order I hope.   I think Melo has to figure into their somehow, Wade plays NO defense and is aided by the refs, same for LeBron.

^ yep, not to mention wade's offensive moveset is extremely limited. if his special ref treatment is ever called off, he would deteriorate beyond belief

arenas was always popular here (partially due to the fact that he's from la). most people here were actually PROUD of him scoring 60 against the lakers, and everyone took his side even when kobe commented against gil's style of play afterwards. had that been anyone else other than arenas, this board would've shitted on him left and right.

but more importantly, if lebron calling kobe the best in the league didnt make this board like him any better, why would it be different for arenas?

word, he actually did look like an assassin when he just put on that ice cold stare and calmly walked away. i wonder if he does that intentionally to match his nickname
