King James The GOAT?

By -
Lebron James simply put is NOT the Greatest of all time.. Lebron is definitely one of the greatest but not THE greatest.. Why is that you might ask? Good question. Statically he has a strong case with the multiple MVP's, Three NBA championships, 14 years of representing the NBA at the highest level, no arrest etc.. This guy has been a model of what you want the face of the NBA to be.. So what is he missing? He's missing that moment in his career, yes he's had big nights, the big game 6 in Boston, Finally getting by Detroit but those really aren't those GOAT moments.. For example moments like MJ and the flu game, or Kobe scoring 81, Kobe dropping 62 on Dallas in 3 quarters, Michael Jordan losing his Dad, Kobe rape case during the season ( falsely accused)) these guys just had adversity after adversity and it fueled them.

          Lebron is great obviously and no one can debate that he's had an era of being the best player in the world but something is still missing. Kobe nor Jordan never had to announce that they were the best player in the world as Lebron did in the playoffs last year. I think without a doubt Lebron is top 10 maybe even top 5 but he's not the greatest ever, especially after his suspect performance against Dallas in the finals, 17.8 points a game, 19.5% turnover rate quite frankly was his worst series in his career and he lost to a Dallas team that they should have been swept! Lebron still has time to change my opinion not that my opinion matters much to the self proclaimed "King" but he's not better then Kobe and he shouldn't even be at the table with Jordan yet. After we sit back and really focus on what he has accomplished over his career without a doubt he will be in the discussion, but in my mind the likes of Jordan, Kobe, and Magic are too far gone to catch and like I said I could definitely be wrong.

The SportsPACK NBA Regular Season Awards

basketballsocietyonline.com MVP: Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder This year's MVP race has been the closest it's been in recent memory. With 5 legit candidates, anyone of them is well deserving of the award but my choice is Westbrook. Not only did he break a record I thought would never be broken with 42 triple-doubles, but after losing 3 out of their top 5 scorers, Westbrook still has the Thunder in the playoffs as a 6th seed and lead the NBA in scoring. James Harden had an outstanding season but has a lot more help in Houston than Westbrook has in OKC, which was one of my biggest deciding factors. warriorsworld.net Defensive Player of the Year: Draymond Green Golden State Warriors After coming in 2nd in DPOY voting 2 seasons in a row Draymond Green final wins the award. Averaging 2 steals a game, Draymond is tied with Wizards point guard John Wall for 1st in the NBA. Green can guard all positions effectively and is the anchor for a Golden State defense that ...

Players Need Rest

By -
The media, fans of the NBA and legends of the game are getting upset at coaches resting star players throughout the season. I understand that the fans want to see their favorite player every night but in order to get peak performance out of your favorite players they need rest. NBA players more now than ever have a very demanding schedule on and off the court. Between traveling for games, having multiple endorsement deals and playing on back to back nights; coaches believe that its only fair to gave the players a night off. Most of the players that get nights off usually play through multiple injuries all the time so we shouldn't complain much. I know NBA tickets are not cheap and you expect to see the stars when you buy that ticket but that's the risk you take when you make your purchase. The players and coaches have to put their organization's needs first. None of these players are saying they need rest but it is much appreciated.
