Top 5 SFs of all time

[ewingandoakley]

Lebron will not be one of the best SFs of all time until he wins that ring in my book. And before all the Lebron brown nosers start putting their two sense in, I just dislike him for what he did with the decision, and the fact that he did the decision in the middle of Knicks country in Greenwich, and crushed all those kids' hearts, including some people I knew who are die hard knicks fans who were in attendance. It just wasn't right and the fact that he went to the Heat, the Heat, the f-ing heat is just not right because the knicks hate the heat.

Don't waste your breath arguing with them. Pointless to because people are going to hate on lebron no matter what.

Some ppl point to his lack of rings , but u don't get rings without a team. Has nothing to do with how good you are as an individual. That's what the MVP trophy is for, u know the one that should just have lebron's name engraves into it

Others say he isn't clutch. His clutch shot % is the highest in the NBA over the past 10 years

Others say he sucks because of "the decision" which makes no sense. And that wasn't half as ba as what Dwight Howard is Doing in orlando... I dot see anyone arguing that he isn't the best c in the game right now



Long story short. Lebron haters will be lebron haters

I was about to post asking why no mention for Pierce... As a Laker fan, I fully agree with this. Pierce will be in the majority top 5 when he retires no doubt. I already have him in mine...

I don't like LeBron, never have, never will, I still though do have some respect for his level of play as he is a great baller. I didn't like the decision either not because he didn't come to the Knicks, I honestly didn't want him either. As for what Dwight Howard is doing, i have lost much respect for him. As much as I hate Lebron, he is a lock for top 5 SF of all time. until a new SF comes and bumps him out but between current and past SF's, he is a lock.

First, I'd like to state I do not like Lebron James, but the man has talent. Granted, he won't be on any "best whatever of all-time" lists until he can prove his critics wrong and win rings (not just one, but at least 2).

I would still put him in the top 5. I think Pippen is a great player, but not top 5 calibur. Lebron took the Cavs to the finals, Pippen didn't take the Bulls.

My list would probably have Bird, Worthy, Erving, Pierce, Baylor James and some other people on it.

My top 5
LeBron
Bird
Pippen
Pierce
Durant (The way LeBron is playing, Durant will be #1 in a few years)

Makes me laugh when people say 'Lebron took the Cavs to the finals' - I didn't realise Lebron played 1 on 5 basketball......no one person has ever taken a team to the finals, it's a team effort.


I hate Lebron with a passion, I really do, but I can't deny his talent. That said, I hope the Pacers squash the Heat in 6 games and keep Lebron from a ring - I want to be able to gloat for as long as possible about the 'big' three and their over inflated ego speeches about winning several rings and 'it's going to be easy' crap.

Sorry, i'm a ***** and i'm not ashamed.
