Nobody has ever had the voice, the heart, the skills and the body? Please, give me a freaking break, many NBA greats have. Nobody has ever been able to play all 5 positions in the NBA like LeBron? Um, anyone ever heard of Magic Johnson? Starting at Center and winning a championship? I can't believe a guy like Coach K that's been around as long as he has and seen as much as he has could also get caught up in this prisoner of the moment stuff. I'll give you another nobody has ever, IMO nobody has ever been a worse shooter and had less actual finesse in his game and been praised more. LeBron is great, there's no questioning it now, but take away that size and speed and you take a way a LOT of his game.
I've watched a true master of the game for years in Kobe Bryant, seen some things from him I've never seen from anyone else, from amazing and impossible shots, to just ridiculous scoring games. Generations before me watched Michael, Magic, Kareem, Bird, and others do amazing things, and that LeBron now somehow gets almost put ahead of all these guys is a joke. Hell he still has to show me a lot to even come close to the player Kobe has been, let alone Michael Jordan.
I think Coach K got caught up in all the "love" to be honest. Yes, Lebron was basically ungaurdable in the Olympics. That being said, he really isn't some demi-God on the court. I find it interesting that many of the gushers seem to deminish Lebrons teammates. I understood acting like no one on the Heat did anything but to treat the same for Team USA
as well, wow. It is sad that these guys are creatures of the moment instead of true fans of historians.
