Yeah that's all bullshite.

LeBron took 47% of his shots at the rim this year. Not hard to have a high shooting percentage when nearly half of your shots are the easiest shots in the game and the refs won't let anyone look at you within 5 feet of the rim.

Also, 11-26 in an elimination game.

Everyone in the LBJ corner wants to harp on his physical abilities all day.

pretty sure the OP was based around stats, not physical abilities

jordan had amazing physical abilities, too. he was a super freak in his own right

except for that big part to start his career and all

Judging a guy by the last 30 seconds of a game is the dumbest shite about basketball fans. Never mind the fact that the Spurs run away from the Heat if LeBron doesn't go God mode.

True
But his handlers and MJ would have adjusted. He was the biggest star in the world for ten years.

LBJ is the only guy that we can even argue about challenging Jordan. And we have 5-7 more years for lebron to pass him.

Has anyone ever lived up to childhood hype in the way Lebron has? Only guy I can think of is Tiger.

At the rate they're going I think both could go down as the 2nd greatest players of all time, with a shot to actually be viewed as the greatest.

You know what else isn't hard right now? My fricking dick because I'm reading low IQ motherfrickers like you try to wax intellectual on sports.

But what is not so difficult (as opposed to hard) is reading a motherfricking paragraph.

God damn you're the biggest fricking count moron who ever lived.

Yikes dude. I really think you've forced yourself to forget EPIC Lebron games.

Lebron's this is he tried to get the best shot taken every single time down. Does he take over sometimes? Yes. But he's all about getting the best shot for his team. Nothing wrong with that. He can obviously close out games though...

Always loved that argument. Lebron takes high percentage shots. WTF is wrong with him?

Yeah Game Score is bullshite. Why didn't he list those games? Why didn't he post those shooting percentages?

Yeah he made 56% of his shoots. Cool. Let me know when he stops taking just under half his shot at the rim. Hell Garnett has more diverse shot range at this point and he's a 35-36 year old center.

LBJ will probably be considered the GOAT after it is all over because he has more coverage, is more liked and is simply a better person. What makes Jordan better to us who saw him probably won't stand up to LBJ's total scope of work.

LeBron took Cleveland to the finals when the offense was "everyone get the frick out of the way and let LeBron score"

He's deserved every MVP award for a while now.

If LeBron hadn't have gone 3-12 in the first 36 minutes, then he wouldn't have needed to go "God Mode" only to choke down the stretch to get bailed out by Sam Cassell's alien brethen.

Am I the only one who notices that Ray Allen is always chewing gum when we see him just like those aliens in Mars Attacks?

LeBron shot 46% between 16-23 ft this year.

Kevin Durant shot 43% between 16-23 ft this year.
