The two guys you mentioned have correctable injuries. Brandon Roy doesn't have knees for all intents and purpose. The other guys will heal. Roy's is a chronic and permanent condition, whereby he will once in a blue moon show glimpses of his former self and otherwise be a complete and total shell of the great player he could've been.

A 94 rating would have been more appropriate (still being the highest in the game while other players ratings also decreasing a bit as well).

Because LeBron James is the best overall player in the game. I'm not a fan. Just an objective observer. The guy is the best overall athlete in the NBA. Maybe in the entire world. He runs like a point guard, is built like a power forward. Those athletic ratings boost your overall numbers high. And they're supported by a point guard quality handle and passing ability. Average to slightly above average shooting. And he is perhaps the best defensive player in the game not named Dwight Howard. He shutdown Rose and destroyed the Bulls and Celtics. You cannot devalue him too much because he performed poorly in the Finals when everything leading up to that point suggested otherwise.

...

I just facepalmed so badly I might have fractured my skull and given myself a concussion. All Jordan did was shoot mid range after 95? Really man. REALLY? He didn't attack the rim at the same clip as his younger athletic days but he DEFINITELY was going at it. Or he just averaged those foul shots on all jumpshots. Some people I swear smh.

I remember a long time ago I said "That was a good one, haha" when I heard that joke the first time.

No one has hit more game winners in recent times. And he's hit more, at a better clip than Dirk. (I remember when folks were questioning Dirk's clutch abilities not too long ago) LeBron is a ridiculous athlete. Maybe the best the NBA has ever seen. I believe that until he wins several rings, we will all expect more from him. And he may even have to do it without a Wade on his team to get full respect from some. And if he doesn't win 5-6, some will still be saying, "See? Told you he was no Jordan/Kobe". Bron should've just come to the Knicks.

And actually, LeBron has a very effective post up game. One of the most efficient in the entire league according to Synergy Sports, which tracks such things. He simpley, for one reason or another, doesn't use it as much as he should.

Oh so you are on the training staff for the Blazers?

Dirk goes to the line too? So what did that prove? Do you play ball?

CP# is the best point guard in the NBA. He has a more diverse game than any of them. So it's only natural he has a higher overall rating. If you were rating a player on being a 6-10 shooting monster, then Durant would win. Or on a point guard's ability to score consistently at a high rate, Rose would win. Overall rating means overall game. Paul wins.

If that's the case, I'll sell my unicorn when the season starts on time.

Just because I do not like the Miami Heat doesn't mean I cannot have a honest view of the team.

I agree LeBron is much more overrated than Wade. Wade is the best shooting guard in basketball right now and I never said he was not better than Dirk (don't understand why you brought up that comparison). However when you look at Wade's whole body of work he has a tendency to struggle against good defenses and is inconsistent for stretches in his careers. Great player but still slightly overrated.

Also I did not say Wade had an atrocious playoffs. I said Miami as a team was atrocious offensively throughout the playoffs. They scored over 100 points three times throughout the playoffs and one of those was an overtime game. They were survived by great defensive and equally horrible offense throughout the eastern conference. That is why they fell when they finally saw a legitimate offensive opponent.

Butler's knee injury was surgically repaired and has healed. Roy's knees have no cartilage. I hate it as much as you do, but 'dem the facts.

You said Jordan only shot jumpers after 95' which is beyond incorrect. Jordan still attacked the rim at a higher rate than Dirk did. Now his last 2 years (when he was on the Wizards) he was now completely oriented.

I love Jordan as much as the next guy but now you're romanticizing his game, primarily his mid-range game.

Really? Since when?

It may not make a complete player, but being one of the best scorers in the league certainly goes a long way to make you a good player.

Nope. Just someone bored with an NBA press credential and too much time on his hands. The "Roy's knees won't heal" thing is not a big secret. Everyone knows it. Short of some stunning new procedure that regrows knees, he's done as a great to good player. It sucks. I am a huge Roy fan. 2k is right not to bank their ratings on experimental medical procedures that are not very likely to work. I hope, however, he proves you right. But I just don't see it happening.

# 197 MikeBadge @ 09/27/11 03:08 PM

To the Jordan/Nowitzki bit:

Nowitzki is one of the greatest overall shooters of all time and a better overall shooter than Jordan. Jordan was the better shooter off the dribble but considering the other aspects of mid range jump shooting (face up, post up) Dirk was just as good and probably a little better than Jordan.

They are both two of the greatest mid range jump shooters of all time but Dirk probably gets a slight edge in the mid range shooting department and definitely gets the edge as an overall shooter.

I wasn't aware that averaging 19 ppg on one of the fastest paced teams in the NBA on middling efficiency while offering practically nothing else to the table makes you a good player. He's OKAY. He does what he does. But if he's your featured scorer, or even a starter, there's a good chance you're probably being run by David Kahn or are the Minnesota Timberwolves.

# 199 Bandana P @ 09/27/11 03:12 PM

Not to get off topic from you guys and all that....but umm.. no Metta World Peace?

I am saddened

Dirk is every bit Jordan's equal in terms of midrange shooting. His superior on three-pointers. And approaches him, though not quite there, in terms of overall midpost game. Outside of that, he's an average rebounder and defender with definite athletic shortcomings. Dirk has to have a Jordan-like midrange game to be such an impactful player because the rest of his game falls short. But those one or two elite skills? Combined with his height and uniqueness? Those make for a scary offensive player.
