    Hard to like LeBron listening to the way he talks about himself, he gets more conceited and King Joffrey-esque every season

    Harden, Curry and Anthony Davis all have their own cover for NBA2k16 also if you pre order the game, you can pick it up 4 days early (Sept 25th) instead of the release date Sept 29th.

    Lebron's 10 year old son is apparently already a beast playing basketball. I was just thinking imagine if Bron plays another 8-9 years or whatever and then Bron's son comes in almost immediately after and becomes a top player. Jesus lol, that'd be kinda ridiculous.

    I think that has more to do with Lebron being the man right now. Lebron is great but he has too many question marks on his resume (leaving his hometown team on national TV, getting swept in the finals, Deshawn Stevenson & Jason Terry making you quit in another finals, the Spurs making you quit in last seasons finals, and again leaving a team that you had the ultimate success with in Miami) to be seriously compared to MJ as the GOAT. As far as Kobe, 5 rings, over 10 all nba and all defensive teams, and 17 years at the top of the game speaks for itself.

    Bron's better if you're playing fantasy basketball. Then again Melo puts up great numbers too, does anyone think he's on the same level? MJ, Shaq, Dr. J, Barkley, Bird and Magic have all said they'd choose Kobe over Bron, guess they're all wrong too.

    Bron can still pass Kobe but he needs to at least stay at this pace for another 5-6 years and get 3-4 more rings. Then again I already explained this all lol. Also Bron's not a better defender than Kobe lol.

    I just want to respond to one more part then I'm done with this for good cuz Guerilla's absolutely insane with some of what he's saying, you said 'Lol he's past Kobe and that's not even a debate anymore.'

    Not a debate anymore? Okay well that'd mean everyone agrees with you that Bron's better, right? Then what's this story that came out today where ALL of the top rated comments are saying Kobe's better?



    So let's see that's now the top players of all time and a majority of the fans saying Kobe's better, yet you say it's a done deal that Bron's better.....

    You really probably don't even watch basketball and are just basing this off stats and what you hear on ESPN, it's really embarrassing. Also it's hilarious that 'the Heat didn't even make the playoffs' is the argument you chose to underline. What the h--- do you expect to happen to a team that lost 2 star players? Bosh missed almost the whole year and Bron left lol. Wade was also injured often as usual, GREAT argument there buddy..

    I'm done but you should really open your mind a bit and quit acting like it's a 'done deal' that Bron is 'way ahead' of Kobe, Magic, Bird, Wilt, Kareem etc because that's an absolutely ridiculous statement according to basically everyone that knows basketball. Please don't even respond to me, you make no sense and I don't want to hear it. Like I said, Bron CAN still pass Kobe but he needs to prove he can do this for as long as Kobe did and he needs to win a few more rings. No chance Bron ever matches Kobe's work ethic and killer instinct though and you're severely overlooking that part of it too.

    i don't think "selfish" is a fair criticism of lebron james. you're talking about one of the most UN-selfish nba stars ever. that's what makes him great...the fact that he averages around 7/8 assists per game. he's always getting everyone else involved. he doesn't forget about his teammates. i'm not some super lebron supporter or defender..............but sorry......."selfish" isn't an accurate criticism of him.

    i think a more accurate/fair criticism of lebron is that he's not that good of an outside shooter for a player of his caliber. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he's a bad shooter. but seeing as lebron is the best player in the world......his outside shooting isn't too good.............he's really struggled throughout the playoffs when it comes to shots that WEREN'T taken inside the paint.

    You're right I should have just said 'Lakers got number 2 pick, cool. I'll wait 10 years and give you a reaction then after I see how his career went.' Cuz ya know, that's how people react to these things....

    Obviously it's not a guarantee, but no reason why I shouldn't be excited...f--- outta here with this negative s---. Lakers s----d for a few years now, I'm happy they at least have hope now.

    The Bucks still had a good season. They lost their rookie Parker and he was playing quite well before he got hurt. Kidd did a pretty good job with that team this year. They've got some things to work on, but for the most part I think their future looks bright

    Sorry I was working on something for class tomorrow and didn't feel like expanding what I said, but the Rockets tweeted this:
    [​IMG]
    It has since been deleted and they apologized for it. The Mavs also responded with a tweet saying "Not very classy, but good luck" or something like that. The tweet was a d-ck move tbh, but I love how NBA twitters are these days. I wish Miami's was more humorous.

    d--- was hoping the C's could catch the Bucks and avoid the Cavs in the 1st round, or slip to 8th and play the Hawks. But with the Bucks killing the Nets right now it doesnt look likely.

    Wow @Everett, you act like the Spurs should have won every single year. Yeah there's a few times they were close but didn't get it done, no one's fault but their own. You actually listed 7 years that they 'should have won...' Jesus are you serious? Lol..

    Also what was a fluke about the Fisher play? It was a 2, not a 3 by the way. But it was a great shot, never heard anyone try to discredit him for that. It's not like Fisher isn't clutch so not sure what's a fluke about it.
