"LeBron James" No Killer Clutch

SINCE 2003 LEBRON JAMES HAS BEEN LOOK AS THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE IN MANY PEOPLE EYES. WELL IM HERE TO SAY THAT I WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO SAID........"THAT IS BULLSHIT TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE".............FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY HE IS A GOOD PLAYER NOT GREAT YET BUT ON THE CUSP......THE PROBLEM IS LEBRON DOESNT HAVE THE FIRE AND DESIRE LIKE SOME OF THE GREATS IN OUR PAST TIME IN THE PRESSURE SITUATIONS........PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE LEBRON PLAYS THE TEAM GAME BETTER THAN ANTBODY IN THE LEAGUE, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHEN YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR, THE PUBLIC DEMANDS YOU TAKE OVER AND SHOW YOUR SUPERIOR SKILL..........SECOND, ALOT OF YOU LEBRON FANS OUT THERE SEEMED TO FORGET ABOUT A FEW PLAYERS WHO ACTUALLY HAS THAT "SUPERSTAR CLUTCH GENE".............KEVIN GARRNETT, DWAYNE WADE, PAUL PEIRCE, TIM DUNCAN, SHAQ, AND THE "BEST" OF THEM ALL.........KOBE BRYANT...............................ALL PROVEN PLAYOFF PLAYERS. IN MY EYES TO BE CALL THE KING OR THE BEST OR GREATEST OF ALL TIME.......YOU HAVE TO NOT ONLY WIN IN CLUTCH MOMENTS BUT ALSO WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS..................STATS ALONE GETS YOU INTO THE HALL OF FAME, BUT CHAMPIONSHIPS CREATES DISCUSSION FOR GREATEST EVER.................IM SORRY LEBRON AND LEBRON FANS.....................THAT DISCUSSION IS A LONG WAY FROM HAPPENING..............................................................HOLLABACK

  1. A few flaws in your arguement...
    First- I don't think anybody in the world thought Lebron was "The best in the league" in 2003. Shaq was the best and most dominant player in the game in 2003. Lebron was very good as a rookie and has obviously only gotten better since then. Second- To call Lebron "good" but not "great" is absurd. You cannot watch the guy do the things he does every time he steps on the court and call it a "good" performance.
    Third- His expectations are unparalleled. Nobody has analysts and 'experts' saying he has to score 30, get 12 rebounds and 12-15 assists for his team to win (quote from Jon Barry before game 6 last night).
    He plays the game the right way. He uses his teammates so well that when his teammates fail he fails, and when they succeed he succeeds. That is the game of basketball. 5 men working together that Win and Lose TOGETHER.
    Kobe Bryant has/had better players around him this year, and for all of his championship seasons. Kobe is still a great player, but to be able to throw the ball down to Gasol or Bynum and just let them play volleyball around the rim until the ball goes in is a privilege for Kobe. Not to mention having Artest be the primary defensive stopper takes even more pressure off of Kobe. Lebron is the best Scorer, Passer, Rebounder, Defender and Ball Handler on his team. Kobe is just the best Scorer on the Lakers.
    Can't argue that Kobe is more clutch then Lebron, I will give him that. Just remember...Lebron is 25 years old.
