you know what, im going to give lebron some respect. he's a great player and i like him. he's top 3 in the leauge. but he's far from kobe and farther from jordan. when he faces a defender that can stay in front of him he has a tougher time scoring. he doesnt have enough in his repertoire. no footwork, no grace, no skill. like ive said before, just power. runs through you like a fullback. that works on weaker defenders. half the time its a charge

I don't think you understand that what really matters in the league is the results, not how graceful or how skillful the way someone scores. If Lebron is able to lead his team to more wins with less around him while also having better stats, then that shows a lot.

Edit: Guys this is turning into the Kobe vs. Lebron thread. When I posted this, I actually thought that's what it was.:o

Can you refer to me all the guys who are stopping him. Havent' seen many so far in the playoffs. Battier, Artest maybe? There aren't many wings that have readily stopped Lebron lately. Bowen included. His worst averages in the regular season were vs NOK, LAL, MEM and OKC. And 2 of those were b/c they had blowouts. LAL has Ariza but I wouldn't call him that great. LBJ doesn't struggle vs many teams any more. There are hardly guys who can defend him.

It was Kobe who was covering him when it mattered.
 
Hedo is probably the only player that was on the former great Sac Kings that will ever have a chance at winning the title he deserves... GO MAGIC!!!
 
Well, they proved me wrong. I still don't like the Magic (with the exception of Dwight Howard), because I don't like teams that play the way they play (IMHO, the three point shot is the single worst thing to ever happen to basketball), but since it's come down to the Magic and the gd lakers, I guess I'm rooting for the Magic.
