Correct. In fact, Larry Bird had one of the most effective post games for a small forward, and he had, basically, 2 moves: Back the guy in and either fade away with a jump shot or lean in. There's not much to a post game if you are big and can hit a jump shot.
over the course of his career, LeBron has put on shooting performances such as the one against Orlando. Just reference his games at MSG if you want to see some. Also, I never said he was a great "shooter" but he is a great "scorer". most superstars aren't great shooters but are great scorers. ala dwade, kobe, durant, to name a few. just look at the FG % and 3pt %.
He is cocky not doubt about it. But so are most superstar NBA players. Besides, since when is cockiness grounds to eliminate someone from being the best player in their respective sport. All you can do is speculate on last years second round as nobody knows the extent of his injury. That shaking hands crap was blown way out of proportion. Do all players shake hands after emotional playoffs games? No way, look at the NFL. Lots of players head straight to the locker room after losing playoff games especially the Super Bowl. You don't have to like him as a person but it is obvious that he is the best NBA player.

No kidding. I have to admit, after seeing them lose to NY the way they did, I pretty much expected them to lose to the other 3. I can't figure out what's going on. Has Spoelstra hit a wall on his coaching ability? Will Riley be taking over AGAIN?!! This is NOT about talent. The Heat have more talent than NY, Orlando, AND Chicago!!

Beyond the 3 the Heat have very little talent that is one of the problems. Lebron is the other problem. He does what he wants to do when he is on a team the coach is effectively neutered. Ask Mike Brown.
OK guys once again the reppa is ahead of the curve... I told you guys what it was with this guy long before he proved that I was right. Lebron is not even in the top 10 nba closers. Why? he is not a consistent jump shooter! The problem with the heat is simple. This is the house that wade built, I have him as the SECOND best closer after kobe. And until either wade takes his team back or the head coach says wade is our closer this team will struggle. Wade has not touch the ball down the stretch in those 4 loses and other close games... Lebron the next jordan??? huh are you kiddin me. Maybe the next Oakley
I think it's a matter of coaching. Lebron is a decent point-forward early in the game, but in the clutch the ball should be in the hands of either a point guard or Wade.

RESPONSE: A lot of people said that with all the publicity he was getting last year during the time that he had to choose to re-sign with the Cavaliers or move on.
Are they different types of players, yes. I don't think anyone tried to compare Jordan as a type of player with LeBron as you would more compare Kobe and Jordan and Walton and Jabbar as types.
but yes, a lot of people were comparing him with Jordan in terms of being a dominant force...............errr....until Blake Griffin came along.
"ahh missu, angry people like you really make my day Anyhow I will be posting comments about your boy gabbert and would be curious about you opinion..."
just because I disagree w/ you does not mean I am angry. It means that I disagree w/ you. Post away genius. Gabbert is not my boy.
