LeBron is the best player in the NBA not even a close #2

Giving credit where credit is due..

Going into this series I really was wondering how much better LeBron was than Rose.. LeBron is clearly head and shoulders better than Rose. Nobody else in the league could shut him down the way he did

1 Lebron



2 dwight howard
3 rose
4 durant
5 wade

Rose is a great player but he has had one breakout year. Let's give him time before we place in top 5.

Rose is better than Kobe? What? Stop... dude no

A GM thinking a 5 year plan might put Kobe outside that group, but one year ..hes #2

insane commentary

That's nice, how many rings does he have? How many does Kobe have the past three years?

Derek Fisher has as many rings as Kobe last 3 years. Does that make him better than Lebron too?

I'm not really arguing that Lebron better than Kobe (can go either way for now), just against the championship argument being only factor.

In the history of the game, Kobe is better than Lebron. When players are that great, rings become the difference. At this point in their career, Lebron is a better player.

Like I said, Lebron will get his. If it is not this year, it will eventually happen. Do I see him getting 5 rings like Kobe, no, but he will get 2 or 3.

The stage has been set by the Heat. Free agents are gonna start joing one another and you will have power teams. The 1st couple rounds of the playoffs will be easy, but the conference finals and finals will become tougher has you could have Wade, Bosh, Lebron matching up against Howard, Kobe, and Derrick Williams. Only an example, so do not start steeling me Williams will never be a Laker, etc. just a pure example. That could make it tougher for teh Heat as teams can have similar talent.
