He scored 50-60 points with people hand checking him. Now that players in today's league don't have to worry about getting hand-checked of course the G.O.A.T could score 100 in today's league.
Really? I am assuming because Lebron hasn't won a championship (team award) it erases all of his PLAYER accomplishments in your mind. Biased much? I'd love to hear your argument for H. Grant over Lebron James.
2 x League MVP (at 24&25 yrs of age) 2 x All-Star game MVP 1 x League Scoring champion ROY and much more.
I like this list alot more. However, i'd put shaq at #2 and #3 is a tie for me between Kobe and Duncan. Rings are irrelevent to me also since that is a collective accomplishment and not done individually.
Oh ok so a team with no second star on the team and continues to lose in the playoffs does not to overhaul the roster to make a legitimate contender? It wasn't going to happen. LeBron knew it. He moved on End of story.
And at this time LeBron didn't feel the cavs were going in the right direction and didn't want to waste peak years rebuilding. How is that any different from what Kobe did? Well LeBron never bashed his teammates(publically anyway) or his owner even after dan gilbert's letter to cleveland fans.
Since you went there. Let's see what kobe has said at a press conferences or in interviews that has had a negative effect on his reputation.
"I sit here in front of you guys, furious at myself, disgusted at myself for making the mistake of adultery. And I love my wife with all my heart."
"I would like to be traded, yeah," "Tough as it is to come to that conclusion there's no other alternative, you know?"
When asked by stephen a. smith if he would change his mind about being traded
"No" "I just want them to do the right thing."
"The Lakers obviously want to move in a different direction in terms of rebuilding," "Three years ago when I was re-signing they should have told me they wanted to rebuild."
Not to mentioned he publicly bashed mitch and bynum with no remorse. And also bashed his teammates on the court.
LeBron is better right now than Kobe was at 25 he is the #1 player in the NBA. He is getting better every season. He has smashed a lot of records kobe used to own ie (youngest player in NBA history to..), When it's all said and done LeBron will be better than Kobe. Kobe fans will obviously disagree no matter what. One stat sticks out to me the most is...
Kobe career pts 25,790 (14 yrs) Lebron career pts 15,251 (7 yrs) Kobe career pts after 7 years 10,658
There were no touch fouls and less bs calls. No flagrant fouls either (started in the 1990's), the nba is much softer which allows higher scoring games to excite the fans.
2 x League MVP (at 24&25 yrs of age)
2 x All-Star game MVP
1 x League Scoring champion
ROY and much more.
Duncan,Olajuwon or DRob.
