He can not take any team to the championship. Everyone is getting excited that he might end up with the Knicks, Bulls, Nets and get some quality players amongst him. The Knicks cant even made the playoffs and dont get me started on the Nets lol, so why would Lebron a man who wants to win go to those crappy teams when he is not even that good of a player anyways? The Bulls are a decent choice.

First of all. Lebron has been in this league near 8 years and he still has not formulated a decent jumpshot. With Lebron is is always drive to the hoop, run over everybody, get fouled, dish out assists and the occassional 3pt shot. I mean where are the fadeaways, off balance shots, and smooth dribbling to shooting mechanics seen in Kobe and Kevin Durant.

Lebron cant go to the hoop all the time especially when Garnett, Gasol, Bynum or Howard are in the paint. He needs to work on getting better at his jumpshots so he can mix up his style more.

Jordan won because he could shoot the ball from any angle, even as he got older he still was the master of the fadeaway because his legs could not carry him to the hoop as in his younger days.

Before Lebron can be a champ, he has to learn how to shoot. Especially off the dribble and fadeaways.

I agree with you, that is what many sports analysts believe is the difference between Lebron and Kobe. Kobe can drive in, and has an excellent mid-range jump shot. While Lebron needs a running start to basically get that shot off over someone. Until he hads that technique to his artillary all he can do is shoot the occasional 3 and drive in.

Agreed. One player can only do so much. LeBron is an A player on a team full of C players or worse. Jordan was an A player who had a guy who was basically an A player himself (Pippen) and quite a few B players. Same with Kobe. I just don't get all the hate on LeBron when he was the only reason the Cavs were even halfway decent! Without him they wouldn't even make the playoffs in the East and that's saying something!

I think there needs to be a sticky on Lebron. The amount of topics for this guy is getting out of hand.

I dont think he is overrated. I bet if he was on your team you would be riding him hard. The guy is a good player and i wouldnt mind if he played for the Rockets.:D Probably will never happen though.

Last year Lebron deserved the MVP, this year he clearly does not. Kevin Durant should of won it.

The Thunder put up more of a fight against the Lakers than the Cavs did with the Celtics.

Lebron is a good player but he just cant drive to the hoop all the time. He has got to pop off some mid range jumpers more often and they should be banked in.

Lebron needs to stop worrying about going to other teams or changing his jersey number, He needs to work on his jump shot. The man can pass, drive to the hoop, and be a team leader. The only thing lacking is a good jump shot.

Yes, we all should listen to the rant of a fan. You must be right about Lebron. Wish someone would tell him what you think so Lebron would listen and care. [QUOTE="Ninten007"]

He can not take any team to the championship. Everyone is getting excited that he might end up with the Knicks, Bulls, Nets and get some quality players amongst him.

Not overrated, just shoved down our throats by the media is what pisses me off alot.

Look im a BIG time laker fan, been one all my life, and in fact, I enjoyed watching the Cavs get dismantled, but no WAY is Lebron overrated. Yeah the Media shoves him down our throats too much, but he's a freak of nature.

That Said, GO LAKERS. Let's repeat.
