Lebron James is OFFICIALLY NOT A CLUTCH PLAYER aka he will never be better then Jordan & Kobe?
Question:Lebron James is OFFICIALLY NOT A CLUTCH PLAYER aka he will never be better then Jordan & Kobe.
- After the game 1 and 2 choking which he couldve put his team up 2-0. Lebron James choked, he officially is not he is all he is hyped to be.
- Yes Lebron James, will be the top 3 players in the nba for years to come.. BUT remember this he will never be the best to play this game
- He will never be only level of Jordan and Kobe
- He is a stat guy. he like peyton manning .. he will get the commercials, endorsements, money, may 1 title when its all said and done..but he will never be better then Brady aka Kobe. and he will never live up to the hype of Dan Marino aka Jordan.
- James is just a stat man for the next 15 years or so...flashy dunks and thts it
- Jordan is something you will once and a lifetime
- Kobe is the closest to the something, and people should admire it, before its gone and were all left with a bunch of stat guys who make sorry shoes & commercials.
Answers:
Do you agree with me on the Kobe/Lakers situation?
Right. James has had SO many challenges this playoffs.First off, let's establish that the Eastern Conference is weaker than the west.
Next, let's also establish that the Cavs played a Wizards team that lacked 2 of their best players, one, arguably an MVP candidate, and the other an All-star this year.
Next, the Cavs beat an injured NJ team without Nenad Krstic, and a barely recovered RJ. Had NJ been in the West, they wouldn't have made the playoffs this year.
Not to say the Cavs weren't good, but the trail they had to take was the easiest in the NBA to get to the conference finals.
How did Mark Cuban look last night? i didnt see the game?
thats right Jordan is the best clutch player ever and Kobe is the best clutch player playing today.What's your oppinion of YAO MING?
You have to remember that LeBron is still young but he will never be as good as mj or KobeWhat do you think is more important? Size or Length and quicks?
Not fair. LeBron may don't have the killer instinct like Jordan, Kobe and Carmelo (that's rite, I believe he's the second coming of Kobe Bryant). But that doesn't mean he won't win the title.I do agree he follows down the path of Diddy even though he's hangin' out with Jay-Z.
kobe is NOT clutch.
Robert Horry is the definition of Clutch
and before him was Reggie Miller
Where can I find list of the nba players with the most 3 pointers made in the 06-07 season.?
I've been trying to get people to see that since he came in to the league with all these pathetic media hounds acting like he's the best think to hit the NBA since Jordan. The NBA doesn't care about whether or not someone can produce; they seem to care only about whether the player is marketable. Popularity doesn't make someone "one of the greatest". BEing "The greatest" obviously will make one popular. I think most have it backwards with LeBron.. It gets old listening to people rant and rave about how he's "The best" when the only player on the Cavs that you see during the highlights is...LEBRON...Gets old..What was the final score in the Spurs-Suns game tonight?
When Kobe was young he was known for throwing up airballs in the clutch. That has all changed now. This is LeBron's 1st real playoff experience so he needs time to develop just like Kobe did.Who will the free agents be this summer and who do u think will be going and staying.?
You are right about the clutch thing for sure. neither of these guys can touch Jordan (MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same year) they couldn't do that. Kobe is the best one on one player of the two but he doesn't make his team better and not a proven winner without you know who. Lebron is mr everything and his weakness is not being clutch. Jordan made other players better and dominated the game MJ is the ManTonights Jazz vs Warriors game?
How old is Lebron? I think it's too early to call. Kobe is not clutch either. When is the last time he made a clutch shot? The only clutch shot people remember for the during the Kobe era is Derek Fisher's 3 pointers from an inbound pass with 0.4 on the clock. And of course the numerous ones that Robert Horry made. So admiring Kobe? He really isn't that good, just like Allen Iverson isn't that good.Lebron is only what...23. And he is just now has some decent talent around him. He will be good. I think his biggest downfall is the Detroit and Chicago are still going to be good for a few years so Cleveland is just in the wrong division. Don't get me wrong, I love Jordan and am a huge Bulls fan, but I still think Lebron is amazing.
Wow, you really went out on a limb. If you say Kevin Durant won't be the better than Jordan, you'd probably be right, too. Same for probably the next 30, 40, 50 players to come into the NBA rated as "the best".
But you are WRONG about Manning. He's better than Brady. Always has been always will be.
And we all know Peyton Manning never won anything...
Look, I'm a Pistons fan, but the reason LeBron isn't stringing together championships is because his teammates blow. His sidekicks are a center who can only play 27 mpg, and a two guard who shoots about 8% from the field.
His team managed to somehow fumble Carlos Boozer out of their hands (how is he doing, anyway?).
There is a reason that players compile strong statistics. It is because they are talented. Jordan filled stat sheets because we was scoring, passing and rebounding.
He won championships because he had Scottie Pippen, who averaged 17, 6 and 5 while shooting 52%. In fact, they shot 52% as a team. He didn't just carry a bunch of stiffs along with him.
LeBron is fine. He'll get better, but he won't win any rings until he has another all-star alongside him.
Can you name all the coaches of the Toronto Raptors, up to and including the 2003-04 season?
what? I'm not on the LeBron bandwagon, but this is only his SECOND post season appearance. how can you judge him against other legendary players entire careers?What NBA teams has Jimmy Jackson been on?
Too early to say. However, I think LeBron is much better than Jordan and Kobe when they were 22. I remember Kobe throwing 2 crucial airballs against the Jazz when he was younger. Now, he's the most clutch player in the league. I dont think he'll be the next Jordan because he doesnt have the lust for scoring Jordan and Kobe has. I think he'll be more of a Magic Johnson with better scoring. If Magic averaged 30 points with his assists and rebounds, wouldnt he be better than Jordan?How does the NBA draft lottery work?
LeBron is not a clutch player, yet. MJ was the best, Jerry West a/k/a Mr. Clutch was right there also. Sorry most of you guys never saw him play. Kobe is the best currently. I don't believe LeBron will ever be that type of player.He needs another super star on his team to bring out his best. He can be on the same level as Magic & Bird. Very clutch scorers because they were great passers who had Hall of Fame teammates (Kareem, Worthy, McHale, Parish) who could finish plays when they rec'd the ball.
Cleveland messed up when they didn't re-sign Carlos Boozer. Just think of both of those last minute plays, LeBron w/ the ball, will he drive, pull up for a jumper or pass to Boozer for a drive or a jump shot. Now they have to correct the situation and get KG, who would be PERFECT w/ LeBron.
Doesn`t micheal jordan train the chicago bulls?
Problem is ZONE DEFENSE. Why do you think Jordan was so Great? CAUSE NOONE could gaurd him one on one. Now they can just sit in a zone and make you shoot bad jumpers and force to use teammates. Lebron did not lose this game, Mike Brown did. In the third quarter they changed thier whole game plan for some reason, a game plan that was working. They had the Pistons cooked and Brown let em' off the hook by dumping the ball to Z in the 3rd quater.What do the 76ers have to do now to make the playoffs?
that is allot of hype they put on a young player( he is only 22)... i think it would break anyone...i do think he is a great player.. but not jordan ...never will be...only jordan can be jordan.
Define Tracy McGrady in one sentence. Just one.?
EXACTLYJames is just another normal O.K player
without any outstanig talents
doesnt get close to jordan or kobe!!!!!!!
Before you start comparing LeBron to Kobe and Jordan how about you take a look at who LeBron has on his team to help him?...Oh yea that's right nobody. LeBron will never be the next Jordan but as for being better than Kobe not much of a challenge. Kobe Bryant would never be able to win a championship alone and at the age of 22. And if we all remember correctly Kobe has only won his championships with the most dominant big man.Shaq. Bring Shaq to Cleveland and LeBron will blow Kobe out of the record books.
Why is shaq so good? what do u think he did to improve his game?
If Kobe is so clutch, what is he doing in the Western Conference Finals? Oh yeah, he is watching it at home. And for that matter, did the Lakers even make the playoffs? So much for your idea of clutch.Just remember, in clutch situations, Jordan was sucessful just as many times as he failed. What makes a champion is how you bounce back.
Okay AJ they did make the playoffs and went home in the first round (with a less than stellar series against the Suns), but I never said they didn't; all I did was ask if they even made the playoffs this year.
You are right he won't come close to Kobe. He won't come close to alienating fans, alienating teammates, alleged rape attempts, and 50+ point games in losing efforts. I just think all you Laker fans are jealous that James isn't wearing the gold and purple.
Do you think women should be sportscasters for mens events?
mrthomas425 you idiot they made the playoffs, lebron is not even close to kobeHas anybody ever heard as much whining from basketball fans as from the Suns'?
he has had plenty of times to close out games in the regular season and in the playoffs and he can't do it. Jordan, Kobe, Melo, and Agent Zero. can close games i think there are two people who will one day be able to compare with Kobe as 6th best player of all time. Behind Jordan, Magic, Bird and Shaq, Wilt, then Kobe and by the end of there Careers Melo and Agent Zero who are clutch and they will only get better. all these players will step into there own James needs to be able to close out regular season games before he can close out playoff games.Do you think the Warriors crowd will have a big effect at tonights Mavs/Warriors game?
BULLsh*t.If he had made that final shot, your headline would have been, ‘King James Comes Through In The Clutch’.
I wouldn’t call Jordan THE best ever…he may have been the best of his era; and Kobe? Get Real.
At best, Kobe is an overrated, ball hog, wannabe Jordan that many have him gassed up on his own ego.
He’ll never admit it but the ONLY REASON he has championship rings is because of Shaq Diesel and the rest of that supporting cast that was the Lakers at that time.
He will NEVER win another championship with ANY team and he has several years of basketball still left in him.
During the 05-06 playoffs, I believe it was Sir Charles that said something like, one of the reasons that makes Dwayne Wade a great basketball player, is that he controls the game and NOT the ball.
What I believe is that Kobe just wants to control the ball. It’s all about Kobe.
He’s such a ball hog that when he does give up the ball, his teammates are probably in shock about getting it and don’t know what to do with it.
Stop looking for another Jordan.
Appreciate LeBron for who he is and his ability.
He is a young player that hopefully has many years of basketball ahead of him. Hopefully, he’ll get better as he approaches his prime.
Remember Jordan didn’t get a championship until he was in the 6th year of his career and was on a couple of earlier Bulls teams that got swept in the playoffs.
One of those games Jordan scored 63 points.
It wasn’t until the Bulls got the right match of players and HC that they became champions.
LeBron is playing for the Eastern Conference Championship in only his 3rd season, so if you wanna compare teams and the impact one player has on a team, Jordan, Kobe or LeBron? LeBron, hands down.
And don’t count Cleveland out yet this 06-07 season. They could still turn it around and beat Detroit and go on to beat the west champ and be NBA Champs of 06-07 season.
My younger brother would LO-OVE that.
THANK YOU . I'm sick and tired of watching him play his isn't even close to clutch, I mean come on!
100% agree with you man LeBron chocked ONCE again in crunch time he will never be Kobe or not even close to MJ and please dont give me that young crap LeBron is 22 man...he better start to learn when Kobe was 22 he was owning the league yes in his first games he threw up an air but he made up fast and started to work out and practice and BAM!! he started to be clutch and a great overall player man so LeBron is not clutch im sorry...watch while you can cuz time goes by VERY fast
