And He Had To Time That He Doesn`t Touch the Ball While Standing On The Line Before Comming Back In...Simply The Most Aware Player In NBA History. Nobody Had Better Court Vision and Body Movement Coordination than Larry Bird!

Exactly, and he didn't get the assist. LeBron is about the stats.

why do you feel the need to use z instead of s the whole time. And it's not a lie, it's an opinion (a flawed one though imho)

well it's not dumb, because there are a number of strong arguments in favour of it. It's certainly a lot less dumb than most of the trash you peddle on here.

Only lagging in number of titles. This guy will be the second greatest player ever when all is said and done (if he isn't already).

First one is debatable (I'd lean toward Bird). Second one is just false. Bird was a great rebounder.

For what it's worth, I do think he'll be better than Bird when it's all said and done, and Larry Bird's my favorite player all-time.

This is gonna sound a bit fanboyish, but I've always liked your posts. You're clearly Barkley's biggest fan, but you hold no delusions about his limitations or the abilities of other great players. That is, despite clearly having a favorite player, you don't have an agenda and are generally unbiased.

Keep that sh*t up

3 x straight season MVPs

2 x FMVPs. One against dominant championship winning magic's LAL.

2 x MVP sweeps in 1984 & 1996.

LBJ has MVP against "ROOKIE FINALIST" OKC. compare OKC to 1984 LAL.

Greatest SF ever.

1. Bird
2. LBJ.

do you think havlicek is greater than jordan? Like I said I still think bird is greater, but there are a lot of strong arguments in favour of lebron.

Not only is this not english, but it is also totally irrelevant. A player's free agency choices have nothing to do with how great they are. Did you know that kobe was not drafted by the lakers but blackmailed his way into a trade to them? Wilt moved several times in hunt of rings etc. Not to mention that jordan, bird and magic all were on strong franchises from day one whereas lebron was never going to win a championship on the gilbert cavs. There were good reasons for why he moved, not that it matters anyway.

In terms of overall talent/skill... productions.. domination.... yes, why not...

In terms of accolades he needs some more rings to pass Bird..

lebron had a chance if he didnt gave up every year when he was with cleveland, he left because he didnt want all tha pressure on him, plain and simple
