lebron sucks
LeBron is good! But will never be better than Kobe!!
The success these two have encountered is beyond incredible, yet fans and analyst will always compare them. The best always has to be recognized in a major sport. Some say LeBron is best, and some say Kobe as I’m in that group.
In the 2003-2004 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected the number one prospect in the country. LeBron James drafted directly out of St. Vincent- St. Mary High School, was the best pick that year. In his debut season with the Cavs he blew up and shocked the world when he ended it averaging 27pts, 5rbds, and 4st. not many NBA players can say they have caused this type of havoc in league. The Cavs went from one of the worst teams in the NBA to a playoff contender, and would soon have their chance at winning a world championship. The only time the new-look Cavs didn’t make playoffs was LeBron’s first two seasons with the team. During the seven year drought with this team they lost twice in their only finals appearances, to the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic. The transition from high-school to the NBA is very difficult, because everyone is stronger, faster, and more intelligent. He handled the situation perfectly. From his determination to his domination in the sport, makes him a king on the court, and gave him his nickname “The King.”
After LeBron’s rookie year it would be completely wrong to say he shouldn’t be an all-star. He’s’ been in the league 10 years, and has been an all-star 9 years of that. In the all- star games played he was crowned MVP in the years 2006 and 2008. He was also MVP of the league three times in his career, 2010, 2011, and 2012. He is the first player to get back-to-back MVP’s. The consistency he showed to dominate this game is unbearable. The first MVP award he won wasn’t easy as it sounds. He was challenged by two great players, Kevin Durant of OKC and Kobe Bryant. In 2011 and 2012 the decisions were unanimous as LeBron was merely averaging a

    LeBron assures his audience that he has matured and that he has finally realized that his “relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball.” He speaks of his actions as a learning experience, and compares it to “college for other kids.” James uses ethos here to give credibility to his choices. This ensures his Cleveland fans that his past decisions were not disrespectful as they originally thought, but actually imperative to his growth as a basketball superstar. In addition, James decides to solidify the fact that he loved what he did in Miami with his teammates on the Miami Heat, and that that is something he will cherish as he moves on to the next stages of his career. His diction, which includes, “We are brothers for life” shows the respect he has acquired for his team in Miami. This shows his sincerity in his approach to the situation. Also, James decides to mention his family. He…

    There are some barriers that LeBron must overcome. Most people assumed that the Cavaliers would at very least make it to the Eastern Conference final for a rematch with Orlando. Furthermore, after being up 2-1 to the Celtics and a dominating performance by the Cavs in game 3 most people were ready to say Cleveland could be considered the overall favorite of the playoffs. Also, there were many people questioning LeBron’s focus on this series because of his pending free agency. The media accused him of being passive and less aggressive than the LeBron we’ve come to know in the NBA.…

    Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are two of the greatest basketball players to ever live. The way they play the game is memorizing. These two athletes are very extraordinary, though only one can be called the greatest of all time. The debate still and will always continue on who is the best. On one hand, there is the 6 time NBA champion in Michael Jordan; in the other there is the phenom who scored eighty- one points in one game, Kobe Bryant. In my opinion, Michael Jordan is and will always be the greatest basketball player to ever play the game. When I think of the word, "legend", only one name comes to my mind and that name is Michael Jordan. Even the president of the United States thinks MJ is the better choice. "Oh, Michael," the lifelong basketball fan told The Associated Press "I mean Kobe's terrific. Don't get me wrong," Obama said of the four-time NBA champion. "But I haven't seen anybody match up with Jordan yet". Michael Jordan tops Kobe Bryant in many ways, such as: offense, defense, and overall career achievements.…

    “The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy” by Bill Simmons, was a book only the Sports Guy could write. Save a few hundred pages for Simmons to inform the readers on how he became the basketball and Celtics fan he is today (hint: it was his dad choosing between a motorcycle and season tickets to the Celtics), why as a child he called himself Jabaal Abdul-Simmons, footnotes galore, his hatred for Isiah Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain, and many of the greatest “What-if’s” in basketball history. Other than that, Bill Simmons uses this behemoth of a book to indulge on his version of “The Secret” of basketball, winning championships, and gives his take on how the NBA Hall of Fame should be constructed. In a pyramid style ranking with five levels Bill Simmons has who he thinks should be where, as of 2009, and each level getting smaller and smaller due to the higher standard. It all ends with the 12 best of all time, sitting atop the pyramid like kings with Michael Jordan number one. Again there was no one other than Simmons to write this book. “You could dress me red, drop in into a Crips neighborhood, tell me that I have 12 minutes to start a high-caliber NBA conversation before somebody puts a cap in my ass...and I would…

    Another blatant difference between the two icons is the level of media savvy that they each possess. Stemming from his college days, Michael Jordan always had the media eating out of his palm. While many celebrities point their fingers at the media for being their ultimate pitfall, Jordan used it to his advantage. Keeping a strong relationship with the media landed him numerous endorsements as he was looked at as a jovial person and an exceptional role model. On the other hand, Lebron James has been vilified through the media in recent times. He has received much scrutiny due to the fact that he left his hometown team for a bigger paycheck, and for a better chance at winning a championship. While some may agree…

    Steph curry (and it’s is going to be very hard to argue) is the best shooter the league has ever seen. The last three years he has been the hardest player to guard on and off the ball. The main reason is that he not only is an elite catch and shoot player from anywhere on the floor , he can get his shot off on the dribble with his quick handles and release. The numbers he’s posted is off the charts not only just at the three point line but from beyond the line (i’m talking 28+ ft) he has a better percentage than players shooting 22ft. The man is such a great shooter the legend ray allen make hi statement and says, “ Based on what he’s done, I think he has to be—he’s on his way to being the best ever. It’s always arguable, based on who’s telling the story. One thing I always tell people is, it’s hard to compare generations. Everybody has something or somebody that makes him feel special about the game, or the way they saw and the way they appreciate the game. I’ve sat back and watched a lot,…

    There is a reason why the average kid in school shouts “KOBE” and not “LeBron” after he shoots a crumbled up piece of paper into a trash can. Kobe is a basketball wizard and is known as one of the greatest players in history. He is a winner and isn’t that what it’s all about, winning? Yes, LeBron might be bigger, faster, and stronger, but he lacks Kobe’s IQ and skill on the court, and infatuation for being the best. But most importantly Kobe Bryant is a true basketball warrior.…

    LeBron James and Kobe Bryant may play the same sport, but both have different perspectives on how they play the game. First off, Kobe has more experience in the game, compared to LeBron. Kobe began to play in the NBA (National Basketball Association) in 1996. Which makes him more experienced with the game and his team. Whereas there is LeBron who started his career in 2003. He may be lacking in years but, that doesn't make Kobe to be a better player. Kobe has his way of playing as does LeBron. Kobe prefers the “pick n roll”, as LeBron enjoys the “slam dunk”. Kobe is more defensive, as LeBron is more offense. No 1996, Kobe was everything. To being called the “Black Mamba”, to being known to have his shifty moves in like of the Great…
