Re: Was Gilbert Arenas the best player in the game

The reason why I say DWade isn't elite is because they need Shaq. Like I've said before the Heat weren't even above .500

i really don't like wade but if he is not considered one of the elites then I don't know who is.

Sadly no, but get back to me when he rapes someone.

I wonder who created this username...

Sorry bud, I didn't spin anything. I never even gave my answer yet. If there is any spinning going on here, its the people who answered.

The spinning has absolutely nothing to do with your answer. The spinning was the response to my question, because you really werent asking a question with this topic, you just disguised an anti-kobe topic with an arenas veil.

I didnt disguise anything. I think you just realized your own folly.:wink:

What folly would that be?

Off-Topic? You made this thread just to throw a subtle shot at people who believe Kobe is the best player in the game. People are calling you on it and you reply with "stop being off-topic." This thread got off topic the second you made a post about seemingly all about Arenas with all intentions of trying to make a feeble attempt to discredit Kobe. For someone who complains about the number of Kobe topics its a little hypocritical to start another one out of spite.

Do you have an answer, or will you continue to contribute absolutely NOTHING to every topic you post in?

I contributed the truth to this thread. You want me to pretend I can't see through you...Okay.

No, Arenas wasn't the best player. The best player isn't the best player because he's having a few good months or even a few great games. The best player brings it every night. Kobe was the best player in the league before he scored 81, before he scored 50 in 4 straight, and he still is after. NO ONE in this league has his skill set matched with his work ethic and "killer instinct." There is NO discussion as to who the best player in the league has been the last two seasons.

I guess scoring titles gets you that title then according to you.

Very good.

Okay...How about this, who in your opinion is better than him?

Re: Was Gilbert Arenas the best player in the game

More dominant? Better overall this season?

More dominant, a guy like Shaq, and Duncan. A better season? Dirk.

I think Kobe is tops at the SG position other than Wade.

Shaq hasn't been very dominant the majority of the season, he was injured and just recently stepped up. Duncan okay. Dirk a better season? Probably. His team has a shot a descent shot at breaking 70. But "better" season doesn't mean better player. I know the old "if they switched" comparison tool can only go so far, but I can only dream of the season Kobe would have if his teammates were Josh Howard, Jason Terry, and Devin Harris with Stackhouse off the bench. Wade? I don't see the comparision... Wade attacks and draws fouls as his primary offensive weapon. Kobe can do that plus create any shot on the court. Can shoot the three. Kobe's a better defender (obviously Wade said he wanted to work with him in the offseason last year on his D). Wade is a better playmaker for teammates. But overall Wade can't touch Kobe.

rebounds assist rating hands rating clutch play (no not last second shots, real clutch ratings efficiency, team success.)

Truth of the matter is, none of it matters when you cannot lead your teammates and they become your scapegoat.

Im not even sure he wants to play with anyone who could take shine from him.
