lebron got blocked by kobe 3 times in like 2 minutes in the all star game haha, could tell lebron wasn't really trying but still! Love having league pass and even getting to watch the all star weekend...

I wasn't too impressed with All star weekend this year.. Dunk comp was better than last year though.. Was the Kyrie Irving show all weekend.. That guy has some serious talent.. He's giving Cleveland fans new hope after the LeBron years..

God Lebron is overrated............he is power, strength and overall an athletic freak, but he has no offence skillset, finesse or any mental toughness, not to mention clutch, its painful watching him attempt post moves like he has figured it out, he hasnt, he just barges in because he is so strong, his footwork is a disgrace and overall not a very intelligent player.

you bet your life he was trying, he resorted to backing down Kobe 5 feet from the basket to try and score, because face up he can only win with speed, but if you know where he is going like Kobe does, he gets shut down. Completely overrated.

No offensive skill set? Are you on drugs? Scoring 30+ points and shooting over 60% from the field for 6 straight games.

Nothing wrong with his footwork. How many men his size do you know that can move his feet like Lebron can?

I'm not a heat can by any means, but Lebron is not over rated at all..

Its all speed and power, actually look at the degree of difficulty of the shots he takes? like 3 quarters of them are dunks and layups because he is such an athletic freak which explains his high FG %
i dont see finesse skill and touch in Lebrons game AT ALL, its pure athleticism

well thats wrong, he hits a hell of a lot of shots from outside of the paint, sounds like your seriously anti lebron... commentators made a good point though, they said michael jordan studied lebron and he reckons every time he heads left he takes a jumper, evertime he heads right he drives to the basket... he went left and kobe blocked his jumper haha.


As for kyrie, he and lebron know each other quite well, both become free agents in 2014, lebron back to cleveland or both to the lakers to replace kobe?

Doesnt mean he cant make a wide open shot, anyone who thinks LEbron is as skilled as someone like Kobe Bryant is dilusional, Kobe has phenomenal footwork and IQ, ive never seen Lebron pull off a pump fake, hesitation or spin anything like Kobe, he is a POWER player.

Maybe you should go look up how many shots he hit outside the paint in the NBA Finals.

No denying he is a power player, and that's works extremely well for him. Incase you hadn't noticed, Kobe and LeBron play different positions, and need to have different play styles. But why take a fade away jumper when you can drive for a dunk/lay up?

I'm not saying LeBron has more skill than Kobe, but saying LeBron isn't a great offensive player is a joke..
