Those are the only two distinct things that I can say he is and will be better than Jordan at when he retires


How can I proclaim him a better shooter or defender(which I think he is, by the way) when he is still in his prime and far from over?

I'll agree to disagree

It seems like every flop he commits, it gets multiplied by 5

You can't watch him neutral if you can't see it. Hey it's a skill to k ow how to do it. I'm not even saying its a bad thing. To me a successful flop is just like a steal.

I would even take Kobe in this department before I'd take LeBron.

I'm a Pelicans fan dude. I wish the Heat, Lakes, Clippers, and Celtics would lose every game imaginable.

But what I can do is respect greatness

every time someone criticize Lebron, you must be a hater. Saying he wasn't aggressive isn't "hating." Had he been aggressive and missed shots down the stretch you'd have people bitching...now that'd be hating.
Even Spo realized it. With 2 minutes or so left in the game the Heat call a TO, and what happens? Lebron straight to the hoop for an easy 2. That wasn't the case all night.
Battier, Bosh and Chalmers sucked but the other guys played fairly well

No way would I take Kobe over LeBron

LeBron has the skill set to guard any position in the NBA

He is a great player and a super freak athlete, but I don't like him. His other teammates played awful and that is why they lost to a Team. Spurs are a Team, Hest are the superstars, but they only have one superstar

Saying he's a good flopper isn't a bad thing.downplayimg it to pretend he's bottom part of league in it is acting like it is.

3 seconds left to take the last shot in the Finals. Who do you take? Kobe? Or LeBron?

Every time someone sticks up for him, they are labeled a LeBron lover/Heat bandwagon fan.

LeBron had a triple double, but that is a skewed stat. There's no way he should EVER have anything less than 25 points unless he has 20+ assist.

At times, Lebron is too unselfish with the ball. Once the Heat got Duncan and Leonard with 2 fouls, they should have been taking it to the hole almost every time down the court. I don't mind the kickout every now and then, but when you have the Spurs 2 bigs in foul trouble, you have to attack the rim.

With that said, it was a great game and will be a great series. The refs were consistent and that's pretty much all you could ask for.

Petition for these refs to officiate every game in the finals......

Lebron flops a lot, but generally speaking it is advantageous to do so.

BTW: the guy youre arguing claims to "not watch the NBA" so put that in perspective before you continue.

People are dumb man; fat, uneducated, unathletic plebeians and yet they are elite basketball analysts. Its hilarious really.

Does it have to be a jump shot?

I just have a different definition of flop, I guess.

I don't call it a flop if he over reacts AFTER the foul call is made. I call it a flop if he has to react to get a call.

While I agree, aggression is such a bulshit term when it comes to how Lebron plays the game. He is a point-guard in a power-forwards body.

Spurs were giving Leonard significant help each drive which left wide open Heat players.

Last night Miamis bench scored 30, that rarely happens. If youre teammates are wide open, you give them the ball.

If you have to ask this question, the answer is obvious.

You haven't watched Lebron play if you think he doesn't flop.
