I do find it funny that people choose to nitpick at Lebron rather than enjoy his greatness. His last three finals games were unreal
i wouldn't say he was unreal last night. he was 9-24 from the field with 5 turnovers and missed 2 bunnies late. he made one of the great NBA Final plays that i've ever seen with the block though. that block was insane.

Come on...you're kinda making The Fixer's point for him about nit-picking. Dude drops over 40 points in two consecutive elimination games and then posts a triple-double in game 7. That's unreal. That's his 7th triple-double in the finals. MJ has two playoff triple-doubles....neither in the finals.

sorry i don't think you can shoot 9-24 from the field with 5 turnovers and consider it an 'unreal' game.

Did you miss his block on Igoudala?
nope but you missed my original comment regarding the block.

I did miss that, my apologies. I did bring up in another thread that IF he made that dunk, that is what you'd see for the next 30 years. Instead we got that vicious pin on the glass which is good too!

he played great but you called him the greatest all around basketball player ... not sure how you can say that when his shooting stats aren't in the elite category ...
I thought you were being sarcastic.
He shot 53% from the field in the playoffs this year. His shooting looked fine to me

He had a triple double and his block was arguably the biggest play of the game (along with Kyrie's nut shot into curry's eye -- I'm sure steph is used to those)

Boom. You'd think some people around here would cease to argue with me after the last 7 years. Yet they keep coming back for more. haha

dude ... look at his true shooting stats ... his 53% is a lot from dunks ... he's one of the worst shooters outside the paint ... only shot like 30% from 3 and 74% from the line this year ... he is not an elite shooter of the basketball ...

I never said he was an 'elite' shooter, but he is an elite scorer. In games 5 and 6 golden state made him shoot jumpers and he killed them. In game 7 his jumper wasn't falling so he scored in other ways...and also did other things to help his team win (triple double -- again)

Sometimes I wonder if people watch these games
you called him the best all around basketball player ... just not sure how you can say that when his shot isn't quite there ... like i said - i'd pick him first overall all ... he can dominate his game because of his athleticism and his ability to see the floor ... it's that athleticism that sets him apart ...

"Of the basketball....."
You actually typed that.
Anyway, his shooting is serviceable enough. Would your rather a Curry or Thompson who can shoot lights out but their attempts to get to the rack look like this?
Or would you rather a James who can shoot well enough to rip your heart out with a three (like he did last night actually. He missed several threes before nailing a huge one late in the 4th) but his attempts to get to the rack look like this?
see my post above ... already said the guy is freakishly athletic ... but he's not a great shooter ... the stats don't lie ... you guys love talking about his triple double stats but don't seem to care he only shoots 74% from the FT line ...
and the game has changed ... you see him flopping all over the place now - in the 80's and 90's - he wouldn't have to fake his pain ... he'd be on his ass ...

Lebron's shot was off this year, no doubt about it. He started to gain confidence in it towards the end of the season though. I can guarantee he will be working on that in the off season. Watch what he does next year.

you're acting like he's mark jackson or eric snow as a shooter. he is the best all around player ever

He does flop too much. But really...everyone does. I guess it's just more noticeable when it's him because he's by far the best player and everybody watches his every move. That said, I'd bet he'd have a different mentality if he was around 20 or 30 years ago. He'd have to. When Lamibeer or Mahorn are out there head-hunting, you can't show weakness. And flopping does show a little weakness. If nothing else, a lack of pride.

he's never been a great shooter ... look at his career numbers ... don't let the fact that he dunks more than dwight howard these days cloud the fact he just isn't a great shooter ... his FT % should be indicative of that ...

dude takes it to the rim without fear now ... pretty sure if he had that many dunks back then - he'd be on his ass a lot and we know lebron doesn't like to be on his ass ... but then again - maybe he's a bit princessy because that's the way the game is now ...
latest rumor is noel and the 24th pick to boston for the 3rd pick so they can take dunn (who I don't like at all).
potential moves like this are exactly why colangelo terrifies me as a sixers fan
Christ almighty. I was hearing this. First, I was going to say who ever does go to Boston, watch, will become a Hall of Famer (this is the Philly in me. Plus, fucking Colangelo). Second, why the fuck do I feel like they just have to make a trade as if they can't help themselves.

This whole thing is about to go to shit.
yeah dude, sadly I agree. I really hate taking a PG in the top 5 if it's not a possibility for that player to become a superstar. PG is easiest position to fill. Trading assets to move up just makes this worse

I put Jordan first because of the modern aspect to it.
