I have this debate constantly with friends, family, priests, monks, strippers, and the guy who sells me Green Apple Skoal at Mobile. LeBron James is the most overrated player sports has ever seen. I mean that.
Sure, he's a great player, but give me a break. People give this guy a nickname of "King James" before the fool even enters the NBA. And what does that get you? Oh good a nickname. Awesome. Try getting a ring first, idiot. Ya see, the guy is athletically gifted to the point where if he wrestled, Jim Ross would be drooling all over himself about what a physical specimen he is. And he would be correct, because he is. But...Imagine Kobe with his size. How about Jordan?
The guy is 6'8 260. That's the same size as Karl Malone, only he is built like a house. All he does is jump in the air, fly through the sky, and dunk. His outside shot is still average, although it has gotten world's better then when he first entered the league. He still cannot hit a free throw with the game on the line, is a help defender at best (if you think hes a lock down defender, please don't even talk to me), and he calls himself by the wrong initials. LBJ. You are an idiot, Lebron. You're middle name doesn't begin with a B. Its Raymone. So call yourself LRJ. Stop trying to be Little Baby Jesus. You are more like Lionel Richie, Jackass.
Honestly, I hate the guy. Its evident. But I hate him for his antics. Cockiness is one thing, but this guy is a dbag. Flat out, just a dbag. Here's a quote from after the game tonight: "When you have three bad games in a seven-year career, it's easy to point them out."
Really? 3 bad games? You WOULD say that LeBron. You really would.
Bottom line is: Kobe is better than LeBron for one simple reason. No, not because of the rings, because I'm pretty sure Dan Marino is better than Trent Dilfer, and Ken Griffey Jr is better than Eric Hinske. Because Kobe Bryant never has games like this when it matters. Both have had great games, both have had bad games, but when push comes to shove and the game is on the line, Kobe will take over for the Lakers, and win it. That's what he does. He makes tough shot, after tough shot. Game winner after game winner. He doesn't complain about an injured elbow, and then try to prove X-Rays wrong by having 27 MRI's.
Just shutup and win. If you are THAT good, you should win. Bottom line. Until you start taking over games like tonight or any other close game, you will never, ever even come close to Kobe in my mind. Sorry pal. Won't happen.
Enjoy fishing this spring and watching the NBA Finals on your HD TV, while deciding if you should go to South Beach, or stay in Cleveland.
