The hyperbole is strong in your post, young padawan.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Yeah this league is just a bunch of babies.. Maybe they should be pillow fighting instead of playing basketball.

SMH

This actually had me laughing I'm not going to lie. But if you touch a guy in the league now it's an automatic foul. Lebron has never dealt with something like this.

Jordan even described what it was like dealing with it.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Player Efficiency Rating of ALL-TIME in a single season:

1. LeBron James (2012-2013) - 32.2
2. Wilt Chamberlain (1962-1963) - 31.8
3. Wilt Chamberlain (1961-1962) - 31.7
4. LeBron James (2008-2009) - 31.7
5. Michael Jordan (1987-1988) - 31.7

LeBron literally just had the best season in NBA history. Amazing!

Perfect case of when numbers and stats lie. I'll take Jordan in the 95-96 season when they won 72 regular-season games, the most all time, led the league with 105.2 points per game and were tops in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. Jordan simply refused to let any of his teammates take a play off. James didn't play his best when he played the Bulls this year because they played like all the teams did back in Jordan's time.

Neither have a lot of today's players, yet Lebron is the one having these kind of seasons and not anyone else today

I don't get why we have to run everything through the era test before labeling it impressive...lol

The bad boy Pistons aren't walking through that door

What exactly did Rodman do to knock Jordan out? Looks like he strained an abdominal muscle.

I wish more people would say "impressive" instead of "best ever"... would kill most of these discussions.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Regardless of Era what Bron is doing against his own peers is impressive in that right.. He's dominating and should most certainly be viewed as doing just that.

Multiple years of doign these kinds of things is what puts a player in the all time greats category when he retires, and LeBron is headed in the right direction.

Lol @ the people who liked wwharton's post.

I'm not saying Lebron's season isn't amazing. What he's doing is flat out unbelievable. But I don't think it's the best ever.

And I agree with Wwharton's post people should use Impressive instead of Best ever.

I forgot how every team from the 90's played exactly like the Pistons did.

On another note, people who like the 80's say the same thing about the 90's you say about today, people older say the same about the 80's, people older say the same about the 70's..

Hell we might as well say the 40's was the greatest era of basketball ever because every 10 years players play more and more like pu**ies..

[ojandpizza]

I don't think his season is the best ever, but if someone here can't have that opinion then why is it ok for us to say Jordan's was best ever?

[ojandpizza]

I don't understand why people post videos to show hard fouls also.. The fouls were still called? You don't think players like LeBron can take the fouls or something? Because I don't understand the purpose of the video, other than maybe to say it was intimidating? I don't see a superstar level player being intimidated regardless.

Besides, if LeBron drove and 4 people came to hack the **** out of him he would just pass lol
