Lebron KING of offense AND defense

Of course meant NBA...just woke up;) Sportcenter on:)

If Lebron continues to hit tough outside shots, you may see another Jordan on the horizon mixed in with some Magic Johnson too.

Sorry, not to be one of 'those fans' but.... LeBron is playing the best ball in the league right now, he isn't the best yet though. James and Durant really push eachother well, in fact James has even expressed how much working with Durant in the offseason has improved his game. Over the last 2 years (not including the current season) KD has had stretches of comparable greatness like James is having now. One game doesn't make someone great. A 6 game stretch doesn't make a player great. As far as King of offense and defense that's a huge statement taken from a small number of games. If James can stay on path with his current work ethic, I'll easily concede that he is the true best player to grace the game, but that's a statement reserved for future accomplishments. Cause right now, many would argue that Blake Griffin or Melo are the hardest to stop offensively. James offensive success is directly related to his drive ability that creates nature shooting space, and in relative terms his FG% is directly related to over 70% of his shots over the last 10 games have been within 12 feet of the basket.

Many like who?  Lebron is the hardest to stop because no matter what you do he scores or he sets someone else up to score.  There are many coaches in the league that would disagree with you.

Is that a bad thing or a good thing?  It sounds like you are more impressed with difficult shots.

Montsho, again I find you and I are about to discuss semantics once again. Think about the phrase 'hardest to stop offensively' and relate it to just scoring. Blake and Melo are two of the hardest to stop no matter how you look at it. You can easily find clips of James being stopped when his intension was to score, it's much harder to find clips of Melo and Blake being stopped when their intention is to score. I understand what you are getting at though, overall James is one of the toughest to stop on the offensive side of the ball, but there have been too many times in his career where he has shown he could be stopped when trying to score (though one might believe it due to the current stretch of games and his elevated play since year 2 with the Heat.

And I am more impressed with difficult shots like some the ones he hit last night against OKC. An allstar should hit a high majority of their shots within the 'gemme-range' (15 feet) of allstars. It's not impressive when it's something that should be standard. His shooting % right now is nothing more than a reflection of his intelligence catching up with his ability, shots he takes outside of 15 feet are now more calculated than in the past. I find what he's doin to be 'expected' of him, and not something he's unexpectedly risen to. It's the cornerstone a true great needs to build around and he's finally found it within himself. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't knockin James for his FG%, I was merely trying to point out something I see as fact about his current hype created from the past 2 weeks.

Its not really semantics.  I just completely disagree with your opinion.  IMO its much easier to stop Blake and Melo than Lebron.  If you double Blake or Melo they are stopped. No semantics needed.  If you double Lebron their is an extremely high probability you are going to pay the price.  If you play Lebron 1 on 1 you get dunked on. To me that sounds like Lebron is the hardest to stop while if you double Blake and Melo you basically shut them down since they are 1 demensional.

You see I think a player should be commended for having the intelligence to take easy shots as opposed to going for the spectacular.  You are right an all star should hit a high % in the gemme range but how many do? The players that rule that range in FG% are mostly Cs and PFs. IMO its impressive because he is doing it from all over

The reason there is hype is for the simple reason that its actually unexpected.  You can think all day long someone should hit their shots in a particular area but how many actually do it? Shouldnt all players go 100% at the line?  If someone did that for a whole season would we not say wow and hype them?
