No one has hit more game winners in recent times. And he's hit more, at a better clip than Dirk. (I remember when folks were questioning Dirk's clutch abilities not too long ago) LeBron is a ridiculous athlete. Maybe the best the NBA has ever seen. I believe that until he wins several rings, we will all expect more from him. And he may even have to do it without a Wade on his team to get full respect from some. And if he doesn't win 5-6, some will still be saying, "See? Told you he was no Jordan/Kobe". Bron should've just come to the Knicks.

And actually, LeBron has a very effective post up game. One of the most efficient in the entire league according to Synergy Sports, which tracks such things. He simpley, for one reason or another, doesn't use it as much as he should.

Oh so you are on the training staff for the Blazers?

He didn't attack the rim at the same clip as his younger athletic days but he DEFINITELY was going at it. Or he just averaged those foul shots on all jumpshots. Some people I swear smh.

Dirk goes to the line too? So what did that prove? Do you play ball?

CP# is the best point guard in the NBA. He has a more diverse game than any of them. So it's only natural he has a higher overall rating. If you were rating a player on being a 6-10 shooting monster, then Durant would win. Or on a point guard's ability to score consistently at a high rate, Rose would win. Overall rating means overall game. Paul wins.

If that's the case, I'll sell my unicorn when the season starts on time.

Just because I do not like the Miami Heat doesn't mean I cannot have a honest view of the team.

I agree LeBron is much more overrated than Wade. Wade is the best shooting guard in basketball right now and I never said he was not better than Dirk (don't understand why you brought up that comparison). However when you look at Wade's whole body of work he has a tendency to struggle against good defenses and is inconsistent for stretches in his careers. Great player but still slightly overrated.

Also I did not say Wade had an atrocious playoffs. I said Miami as a team was atrocious offensively throughout the playoffs. They scored over 100 points three times throughout the playoffs and one of those was an overtime game. They were survived by great defensive and equally horrible offense throughout the eastern conference. That is why they fell when they finally saw a legitimate offensive opponent.

Butler's knee injury was surgically repaired and has healed. Roy's knees have no cartilage. I hate it as much as you do, but 'dem the facts.

You said Jordan only shot jumpers after 95' which is beyond incorrect. Jordan still attacked the rim at a higher rate than Dirk did. Now his last 2 years (when he was on the Wizards) he was now completely oriented.

I love Jordan as much as the next guy but now you're romanticizing his game, primarily his mid-range game.
