Is Lebron Most Overrated player EVER?

[BOTSLAYER]

I was referring to the post with one player backing down the other player.

Almost a year later, how has 'BronBron's performance since then changed your answer to this question?

Top 15 player of all time. I'm ok with it. I don't understand why he would lose status after this year.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He was never overrated in the first place but now there is no question he is making his legacy greater.

Now come to Cleveland and bring KLove with ya!

No, Bill Russell and Scottie Pippen would share the award.

Scottie Pippen?!

Oh no you dittint

Let's also not forget that the new rules that guys like Wade and lebron take advantage of have greatly inflated their stats as well. This is no longer the game that Bird, Johnson & Jordan played.

Top 10 of all time already and still has plenty of years to go...

Lebron is not overrated

That is absolutely ridiculous. I'm an extreme MJ fan, but for cripes sake Lebron IS one of the best to ever play the game.

Not THEE best, but one of the best for sure.

If you're one of the best in history, then as far as I'm concerned they can say whatever they want about you and there is no way they can overrate you.

If they want to say Lebron poops pretty pink flowers, go right ahead. I'm not going to question it. He's fucking great!

Non big men wise, Id say top 5 or 6. Centers are somewhat in their own category IMO.

Ahhh... the old "it used to be legal to clothesline people, which somehow means that no one will ever be able to be great again" argument.


The rules have definitely turned in favor of the offense... which might also say something about Jordan being able to average the number of steals he did, and about LeBron's elite defense. It goes both ways.

I just pointing out that guys like lebron throw themselves into the paint and just about always can draw the foul if any defender is stupid enough to even try to play D on him. Wade might even be worse. I can't count how many times I've seen that hack throw up a shot fake to draw contact and go to the line. I'll be glad when both of those guys leave the game.

Cause Jordan never got calls.

If that's what you're talking about, I honestly think the superstar treatment in the NBA has gotten much better in the NBA over the last couple decades.

I guess I can't fault them for taking advantage of it, but look at the league these days... it's all about scoring. It used to be a big deal when a team got hot and even got close to 100 points. These days it's not rare when both teams reach 100. Goes to show you how good Jordan was to be able to average over 30 for his career.

The 80's was the scoring decade (they scored much more than they do now)... fast moving, free flowing, pass happy, team basketball with not much focus on defense.

The 90's was the defense decade... teams started focusing on team defense, tough interior play, and superstars started going isolation.

Since then we've seen a pretty good mix. I honestly like where its at. New rules have made bruiser defense harder to pull off, and isolation offense easier to pull off. Still, teams like the Spurs have figured out that pass-heavy team offense still wins.

I love how players cant adapt their game to match the rules and tendencies of the refs. Jordan shot plenty of free throws

 

[iowajerms]

I thought it was pretty funny how ALL of LBJ's failures included "in the Olympics", "in the NBA Finals", and "winning MVP".

He must really suck.

Your hatred for Lebron is making you very delusional bc every great player gets to the line for a reason. Durant got to the line almost TWICE as much as Lebron. So you will be happy when he leaves too?

Great players draw players, that isn't a suprise.

Comment reeks of sour grapes.
