Do people still consider Lebron the best player in the game?

[The Iron Fist]

Yes, he is still the best player in the league. Put him back on Cleveland, he's a 30\9\7 50% guy on a 50+ Win team with All-NBA Defense. He has a MUCH more stacked team, with Dwyane Wade who's IMO 2nd best player in the NBA on his team.

and oddly enough,

the Heats are only 8-5. After 13 games last season,

the Cavs were 9-4.

What gives?

[MrJohnWall]

Best Player in the game is result of what your doing this season. Not your past. Or Duncan, Shaq would all be considered the best.
NOt only is Lebron not playing great. But his team is playing terrible.
I dont see how he can even be in consideration at this point.

The thread isn't about me,

its about if anyone still considers Lebron the best player in the game,
so, if you want to make a thread titled, "The Iron Fist, who do you think is the best player in the game?"

go right ahead.


I'm asking if anyone still considers Lebron the best in the game.

i've always thought wade was slightly better than lebron.

its way too early to start praising or hating on elite players this year. kobe is shooting very poorly. lebron is shooting poorly, not boarding, and turning it over a lot. wade has been inconsistent and is not playing and defense. durant has been ice cold. howard's been alright.

best player right now is paul or williams or gasol. but i don't think any of those guys are the "best player in the game"

i'll stay with my rankings over the last few years:

1. wade
2. lebron
3. kobe
4. howard
5. durant/paul

I don't like it but yes.

wade is not better then lebron or kobe the pass 3 years and so far he hasn't show he the best yet either.

what gives? the regular season gives. we all know that no matter what happens in the regular season....if the heat are healthy.....they have a much better team to win in the playoffs than the cavs.

at least the heat have a shot if they play great. the cavs had no shot....that is what gives.

the regular season means nothing unless the heat somehow don't get a top 4 seed in the east.

[magnax1]

He's top 4 no doubt, has his case for best in the league. I really haven't decided where to rank Dwight, Kobe, Lebron and Wade this year really.

Are you honestly expecting me to answer a question you clearly know the answer too? If you can't look at me and tell me this Miami Heat team isn't better then Cleveland Cavaliers, than I'm sorry, I won't explain. LeBron clearly isn't the number 1 option in Miami, and he was by far in Cleveland. It's 1A 1B here in Miami.

BS after BS after BS

He is on a stacked team with the worst record u can imagine with this team Hmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder why ??? AND They have 2 BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA HMmmmmmmmm something is wrong here ..

Worst Record? Really? They are 8-5 the worst record is like 1-12. Good job being stupid. What's going on wrong? Nothing really. They have no interior defense and rebounding. LeBron's fault? No. Wade's fault? No. They play the perimeter, idiot.

[ginobli2311]

wade is not better then lebron or kobe the pass 3 years and so far he hasn't show he the best yet either.

agree to disagree.

since 05....i think wade has been the best player. its very very close for me. but i'll take wade.

lol @ the regular season means nothing

1st and 2nd round done mean anything either lol

[All Net]

He's either first or 2nd.

Although some would argue Wade is better but I wouldn't say that. I think Wade is a close 3rd and has been for a good few years.

[The Iron Fist]

Is the two time and reigning MVP, just entering the prime of his career, still the best player in the league?

LOL.

Uh, yes.

Based on what?

His team is in the middle of the pack and its a stacked team.

[Hihater]

agree to disagree.

I know is your opinion but most will disagree with you. all love though

[Fatal9]

Yea, and I say this as someone who doesn't like him.

[Papaya Petee]

What do you mean based on what? The guy is a back to back MVP All-Nba First Defense who led his team to 66-16 and 61-21 last two years. He has a player just as good as him on the team this year so he reduced his shots.

The guy if he was in Cleveland this year would of went for 32\9\7.
