The LeBron James Thread

[DieHardYankee26]

Only LeBron has done something that made enough people hate him to fuel a thread like this.

It ain't even safe to post stats no more...

Sheesh

I sometimes wonder if any other player could generate this much chatter during their career. I know Michael Jordan comes to mind. But he wasn't hated as much as LeBron.

If the internet was around in MJ's day like it is today he'd be hated just as much.

I feel like if there was a Kobe Bryant thread around the time of the Lakers 3-peat as events from then to now he would've had a massive thread. But he's the only one I can think of. Between Shaq leaving, criticizing his team, rape case, etc. he could generate this kinda thing. Hell, Kash could've run it himself .

Seriously we all know Kobe could have a thread like this.

He would if it would stay open long enough.

Random stat but Kobe at 34, is averaging 29.7 points on 39 minutes.

Kobe is a very different player.

Jordan at 34? 28 ppg
Kobe at 33? 29 ppg

LeBron is the same type of player as Jordan, not those guys you mentioned. Wilt easily could've averaged 30+ if he wanted to, but he changed his game when he went to LA. He's also a post player, more physical than what LeBron does.

Russell? In a conversation about offense and scoring?

Robertson and Baylor are great examples, except LeBron is a much better scorer than these guys were.

Bird had no back at 34.

Kareem is a post player, can't compare.

Come on man, why does this always happen? Lebron is not the same player as Jordan. Its not even a "who's better" thing. They don't play the same style of ball.

King B, do not get me started on useless arbitrary statistics, that is one reason I hate watching broadcasts, they bring up some of the most bat**** ******** stats I have ever seen, and I use the term stats VERY loosely.

I don't think so. People don't hate great players how give you 100% every night, on both ends of the floor.

C'mon. If the internet was around even Bob Dylan and the Beatles would have some vocal haters. MJ has some haters, too.

Plenty of people hated MJ

With the way news spreads now. I think Michael Jordan would of had some of dirty on him in someway. His imagine was just too clean.
