Title: Em, who again said that LeBron James is overrated as hell?
Post by: 7even on November 11, 2004, 08:19:00 AM
The Suns, a Team with a perfect season until it faced the almighty LeBron, who outscored the whole team in the fourth quarter as a fucking 19-year-old.
(http://cache.nba.com/media/cavaliers/LJames_170_041110.jpg)
38 Points, 10 rebounds, double-double.

Now he has the most points per game, more than Bryant ... and a SHITLOAD more than the highly overrated Anthony.

With an efficiency of fuckin THIRTY. Being 19 years old.

He has already more points than Bryant, more rebounds, more assissts, more blocks, more steals, higher field goal percentage.

Seriously, exactly anyone who still thinks Anthony is better must be retarded. Wade >>> Anthony.

And the excuse that Shaq steals Bryant's points doesnt work neither.

Face it. LeBron will take the Shooting Guard crown. Soon.

umm yeah

LeBron = inconsistent...thus OVERRATED



do you realize that I just pointed out his averages? He's 19, he'll get much better than he is now which is already unbelieveable. He might have even better averages in 10 games than now, which would be insane, yet, very possible.

since he averages a point more per game than Kobe makes him better?  LeBron James really hasnt proven anything in the league....did the Cavs make the playoffs?  No?  yeah, thought so....are the cavs even at least at .500 right now?  No, they aren't.

LOL@saying LeBron is bad cause he didnt carry a horrible Team to the playoffs in his rookie season

it's not that he averages a point more per game..
he also has:
2,5 rebounds more
2,1 assists more
1,8 Steals more
0,3 Blocks more
Better FG %

that doesnt make him better, huh?
plus Kobe has the better Team, and is fucking 7 years older. 7 years!! When LeBron is 26, people wont even remember Kobe.

First of all, no Kobe isnt Shaq....neither is any of the other players in the NBA....yet some teams seem to still have a record which is above .500....Jesus Christ man.....and the other thing, Lakers are a new team.....you expect them to throw together a bunch of guys and go out there performing like the Lakers from the 80's?  It takes time and I still have faith in the Lakers....yeah and Kobe has the better team?  a team that you just said has been getting raped lately....so are they are good team or are they the type to get raped?  make up your mind.....LeBron James isn't Kobe Bryant, don't even compare the two....that's a slap in Kobe's face....shit LeBron's not even as good as T'mac nor Vince Carter IMO....

Post by: acbaylove on November 11, 2004, 04:32:53 PM
Some considerations:
1. Cavs built their team around LeBron. Lakers didnt build a thing around Kobe. He started as the sub of Eddie Jones.. and when he grew up, he had the team built around Shaq (litterally: the Lakers traded 6-7 players for him). He grew up in a system where he wasnt "the" (only) star. But a promising young who played with the most dominant center ever. Then he started to win some titles with Shaq, he started to have a better role in the team, and he's now a leader with the team built around him. You cant compare LeBron, playing in a terrible team and averaging good stats with a player who won 3 titles, in the best team of the NBA. If you do, it's like if you compare banana's with potato's. You know what i mean?
2. LeBron is the most exciting young player in the league. No doubt. But if you dont get the difference between Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady/LeBron James then i cant help you. I mean one thing is to have great stats. Totally another thing is to play in the play offs, or to litterally carries the team (the best in the NBA) over your shoulders, like Kobe did in 99% of the 4th quarters of the last 3-4 years. It's just another GAME, another thing, totally another thing.
3. LeBron averages 4 minutes per game more than Kobe.

It's a difference if a team is technically better or plays better nba basketball as a team.
See. Lakers were definitely the better team than Detroit last year. Still Pistons raped them. Case closed.
The Cavs Roster has nothing on the Lakers roster. No need for me to make up my mind dude. No contradictory elements involved. I rule.

LMAO...LeBron stats don't mean shit...Look by the end of the year who accomplishes more, it'll most definitely be Kobe. Kobe is on another level, dude. You should know that...That's why all 30 GM's in the NBA ranked him the best shooting guard in the NBA...PeACe

Kobe is still better than LeBron, but for the people that said that "Cavs are dumb, they shouldve get Anthony instead of LeBron" or "Melo got robbed, he deserved the RotY Award much more than LeBron" or "LeBron is the most overrated figure in sports of all time and will be a flop in 2 years" can now finally shut the FUCK up...

And also, Im sure it's just a matter of time till LeBron is the best Shooting Guard in the NBA.. it's inevitable. He's already in the Top 5.

Man i aint tripping, and yes i'm still a Laker. I mean i'm not the kind of fan who dreams about impossible things, i'm realistic. Like i told you many times i'm a Laker fan since Ceballos used to do surf during the play-offs and Van Exel used referees as a punjiball, so.. i can accept negative seasons. Expecially now that the team is a mid level team and not a top team. I knew this was going to be an hard year for us, i accept it. Still you have to consider Lakers played 4 games on the road, against teams who are better than the ones Cleveland faced. And you have to consider we miss 3 good (i mean comparing them to the rest of the roster) players like Medvedenko, Divac and George. Not superstars, but we need them. And that's the truth.

Like I said, Lakers are still in the process of becoming a team.

Of course. We welcomed Shaq in L.A. back in 1996 starting the "Shaq era". We won our first trophy after 4 years.
Now it's the first year of the "Kobe era". Let's give him at least the same time (and a better supporting staff).
We will have some space cap in 2 years, and a lot in 3 years.
I say in 4 years we will be ready for a Championship.

something you shouldnt forget is that Kobe is 30 (!) in 4 years.

Kobe is in his prime now. He wont get any better.

that's almost like LeBron's first season man... and it wont have anything on LeBron's 2nd season.

Quote
# Named 2003-04 NBA Rookie of the Year becoming the first Cavalier and youngest player to ever receive the award
# One of three rookies in NBA history to average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in one season (O. Robertson, M. Jordan)
# Scored a career-high 41 points versus New Jersey on March 27 while dishing out a career-high 13 assists
# Winner of the bronze medal during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.


PPG 20.9
FG% .417
APG 5.9
RPG 5.5
STE 1.65

You  figure, LeBron's first season almost matches Penny's second season.
In addition to that LeBron was a extremely young rookie.

Post by: acbaylove on November 14, 2004, 02:04:49 AM
What i mean is that Penny looked awesome in his first years. Then he got injured, then he lost his confidence, now he's just a wack SG who's paid 15m $ per year. You know what i mean? You never know. You cant say how a player will be in 10 years. Look at Kobe Bryant. He strarted with all them airballs against Utah, remember them? He started on the bench, and Jones was the starter. Phil even asked to trade him in 2000! Then he took Lakers over his shoulder and he became the man you most wanna see with the ball in his hands in the 4th quarter. You gotta give LeBron a couple of years and more time to learn the game. Yes, he's fantastic! Yes, he's in the top5 SG's of the league. But let's give him some time. He plays in a wack team, where he'll never win a title. We gotta see if he'll move from there, and if he'll have one day a team built around him and built to win. And you gotta see him finally playing in the play-offs, TO WIN. Cause it's totally different from playing in the Cavs, trust me.

Anyway Lakers have now a tied record, with a big W in Houston, after 5 straight on the road. That's a surprise for me, it's a great record considering the skills of the team and the absence of Divac, George, Medvedenko and, let me hope about it, Karl Malone.
Title: Re: Em, who again said that LeBron James is overrated as hell?
Post by: 7even on November 14, 2004, 02:14:25 AM
yea of course if he becomes badly injured, he's screwed. but let's not hope for that. Cavs roster gobbles dick, but it took Jordan a while to have a competitive NBA team as well.

and fuck you for spoiling the Lakers / Rockets game, I fell asleep during the 1st quarter and wanted to watch it now lol  >:(


btw Kobe should grow a fancy 'fro again :D bald, he looks kinda weird lol

Age? So is it the "thing" who makes LeBron better than Kobe? The fact that he scored the same points of Kobe being 3 years younger? Man please, be serious about it. Age is not the most important thing when you compare the stats and the careers of two players. The real difference is that LeBron plays for a wack team, where he was the best player since before he got drafted, while Kobe got acquired while nobody got the faith in him but West. He started being the sub of Eddie Jones. He started playing 15.5 minutes per game in the first year (just 6 times as a starter) and 26.0 minutes in the second year (1 time as a starter), not 39.5 minutes per game like Lebron (79 times out of 79 as a starter). He started when people didnt have respect for players who arrived in the NBA from the college (now it's all different, and college players are always n.1 draft picks). Plus he started in the most skilled team in the NBA, starting from the bench, growing, and winning 3 titles.

That's the real difference, not the age.

3 full seasons in the NBA is a huge difference.  I remember nik being one of those, lebron will flop.  Now all he has is bringing up Kobe even though this has nothing to do with kobe.

That's true, but I'm just saying the "age" thing becuase Lebron is doing things at the age of 19 that some can only dream of. Nik was being an ass and saying "Well, Kobe can do that!"..yea, it took Kobe 4 years to (when he first entered the league) score numbers liek Lebron...regardless of how good a team is, Kobe should've proven himself within those 3 years..but his 4th he finally started to pick things up (22 pts per game).

and look at this year

The top 3 players in this league as of now are..easily are
Garnett, Lebron, and Wade..they got great numbers in points/assists/blocks/steals and rebounds....whatever happen to Carmelo ;D?

LMAO...You're retarded...Kobe was better than LeBron was at age 19...He just wasn't on a shitty ass franchise that isn't even expected to make the playoffs...Kobe is easily the best player in the NBA, and the best player of the generation after Michael...LeBron is a good player, but he doesn't posses greatness and isn't near the same level as Kobe...PeACe

how the fuck can you tell after not even a season and a half that lebron does not pocess the same greatness as kobe.  and btw compare field goal % so far this season and lebron is shooting 10% better.  And if you campare 2nd season lebron is shooting 9 % better than kobe did in his second season.  But there is still a lot of ball to be played this season an lebrons shooting can go down to 391. a game.  But than again im talking to nik, who said after one game how good the lakers were.  And for the record im not saying Lebron is better than Kobe, b/c he has a long way to go before we can even compare the two on a level like that, but NIK get off the whole Kobe is a god tip.

Today I watched Denver vs Houston and oh my god McGrady was beyond horrible. Bryant and LeBron are the 2 best SG's now. Look at the record of Cavs compared with the one of the Lakers  :D Plus Cavs just had a bad start with losing first three games.. but after that..  8) And you really can't say there are good players on the team except LeBron.. a few days back when he had 43 points noone else had even 10, box office score looked funny. Anyways, so far this season goes I really can't see how Kobe is supposed to be lightyears better than LeBron.. what the hell makes you say that? LeBron has better stats, & the worse team.. those 2 things are  facts.

LMAO. You're retarded..Lebron is the youngest to score 2000 points..Kobe at the age of 19 was on THE FUCKIN BENCH..lmao> You dont even know your own fuckin player? Funny, becuase you lick his balls so much i thought you would know that?  ::)

\And as of now, Kobe is no where close to being the best in the league..or the best after Jordan...it's Garnett's NBA...live with it.

WTF dude...Other people were comparing LeBron to Kobe, that's why I was saying Kobe is on a whole other lever, which he obviously is...Dwayne Wayde's field goal % is 10% higher than LeBrons, that doesn't define a great player though...Bottom line, LeBron is playing for a piece of shit team, and the longer his team keeps playing mediocre, the harder it will be to measure his greatness...

1.LeBron does NOT have better stats than Kobe.
2.You don't compare players based on stats.
3.Comparing Kobe to Lebron is like comparing Jason Williams to Magic Johnson...It's not gunna happen.
4.Kobe is a leader and has awesome defense, not just offense.
5.Kobe is regarded as a much much much greater player than LeBron by anybody that knows anything about anything.

you can cross your 3rd, 4th and 5th point because all you're saying is "well, everybody knows that Kobe is much better" - which is a ridiculous way to argue.

Like I said, dumbayash, you don't determine a players greatness based on his stats...If that was the case, Tracy McGrady was one of the NBA's greatest players to ever play last year...Learn how to judge basketball, idiot...It's obviously obvious that Kobe is regarded as a WAY more effective player than LeBron...PeACe

let's just get this straight.. I make a LeBron James thread, you come in and say "but Kobe is better", and now you're the one who's bitching when I say Kobe is not Jesus' reincarnation? Kobe is still better than LeBron, yet I can't conclude why anyone would say they're on a entirely different level when he doesnt have anything to back it up with except "stats don't matter" and "everybody should know Kobe is the best player ever".

Let me explain to you something...Just because 2 players have stats in the same range doesn't mean they're on the same level...Tracy McGrady has had stats better than Michael Jordan's, that obviously doesn't make them on the same level...It's funny that you are an idiot and I have to break it down to you piece by piece...Let me make it simple for you, LeBron James came into the league hyped up as the next Kobe...LeBron won't be regarded as "on the same level" as Kobe until he at least advances his team to the playoffs...Until then, he is just a good player on a bad team...ANYONE can be a good player on a bad team...I feel like a special ed teacher.

Wade? Man Wade already proved last year he's a great player since he led Miami, a mid-level team, into the Play Offs, as a rookie. Melo also led Denver, a wack team, into the Play Offs, as a rookie. You cant even compare LeBron to those 2 players, yet. If Cavs will make the play offs (i'm pretty positive they will, but we're still in November, so..), LeBron can be considered as good as those two 2nd year players. And yes, if Wade will win 2-3 titles with Miami (and Shaq), he'll be on Kobe's level for sure. But let the kid lead his wack team into the Play Offs first! Or he'll be just another T-Mac or V-Carter.. Stats doesnt mean a damn thing! I've seen Jordan litterally dominating games with just 10 points scored..

"jordan is the $hit... period"  and tha was it... why can't we just do that?

LMFAOOOOOOOO.

Son felt so threatened so early on, he felt the need to compare Kobe, who had played in 4 Finals already to a baby, 19 year old LeBron, barely a month into his second season.
