stats are irrelevant durant was the leading scorer but i guarantee he wont be a 98 rose was the mvp dirk is the champ

[skinnybonez]

lol @Kobe stans he should be a 90. Dude is done

& LeRobin is rated too high for someone that only ply 3 quarters

[DisapoinnT]

OK these ratings are the stupidest thing I have ever seen. LeBron a 98 overall? ! Like I'm not even gonna bring up Kobe cause he is irrelevant but LeBron is not 1 overall away from Michael Jordan and he is probably rated the 2nd best player of all time cause I would'nt think bird or magic have a 98 or 99 overall.

Last year LeBron had a 97 overall entering the game as well as Kobe and d wade. By the end if the season, LeBron and d wade were both 96 and Kobe was 95 which is completely reasonable. So he must have improved his game drastically during the playoffs.... and dwade nor Kobe didn't. -_-

Idk how you can defend LeBron being as a good as Jordan.

Right now, LeBron is playing at a 98 overall level... at one time, T-Mac was playing at a 98 overall level... Grant Hill was playing at a 98 overall level.... It is not like he is at 99 like Jordan. If anything, 2K should bring back the 100 overall rating and have Jordan be rated at 100, cause I think Charles Barkley should be 99 overall if he ever made it into the game. 98 is good for LeBron for now, but to get to 99 he has to accomplish what Jordan did. 98 isn't perfect, since it is not 99 - food for thought.

99 isn't perfect either. You guys put too much stock into overall ratings and forget that isn't the entire picture. 99 doesn't determine that player as being some god tier or the likes, it's how his individual attributes work together. Take a young Shaq/Prime Shaq for example. I can almost guarantee he'll be 93+ but will he have any handle? Can he spot up and shoot the three?
What about his free-throws. I think you get what I'm saying here a player's overall doesn't dictate how good they are at individual things, they can be incredibly Aware (which is a big boost in overall) but barely able to hit a lay-up.

Take overalls with a grain of salt, there's too much "OMFG LEBRON IS 1 AWAY FROM JORDAN WTF BLASPHEMY!!!" in this thread without taking into account the overall factors.
