This is a joke/hyperbole of course, but how much do you agree with this list? I'm posting it from LakersGround just for fun. They got it from an ESPN board. Offense only: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LeBron: - dunk - layup Kobe: -dunk -layup - scoop shot - finger roll - hook shot - left handed hook shot - running hook shot - left handed running hook shot - post up, up-and-under - post up, spin move, either direction - post up, fadeaway - post up, spin-move, bank shot - post up, spin-move, fadeaway - post up, spin-move, fadeaway bank shot - post up, spin-move, fadeaway double-clutch bank shot - 180- fadeaway bank shot - 180- double-clutch fadeaway bank shot - mid range jumper - mid range fadeaway - mid range bank shot - baseline fadeaway - long range jumper - long range fadeaway - long range bank shot - 3 point jump shot - 3 point fadeaway - 3 point bank shot - 35 foot 3 point shot</div>
Yeah I saw this on LG.... Everyone wants to hate on LeBron now that is struggling against a very good defensive Boston team. I hate that kind of shit...LeBron is still young, he has MANY more years to polish his game. For all we know, it was a Kobe fan who wrote that, so it doesn't really tell us anything. Obviously Kobe's all around game is way ahead of LeBron's, but LeBron has a lot of time to work on his game. No need to compare the two, they're completely DIFFERENT type of players.

But whoever typed that up is right: Mike Brown sucks at coaching on offense, and fails at using Lebron in the best way possible. If they lose this series, Brown should get fired/demoted. Lebron should work in the post.

You know it would be hilarious if Lebron leaves Cleveland when his contract is up (right when he's about to reach his prime) to go play for a team like the Knicks or the Nets. I wonder what Cavalier fans would think of him then. Will he still be the best player in the league? Will he still be the golden child? Will they still be witnesses? Call me cruel, but Cleveland's reactions would probably be hilarious.
Well comparing Phil Jackson who has a disciplined team, and an actual offensive scheme that works, to Mike Brown. Just makes Mike Brown look like a middle school coach. But there seems to be quite a few coaches in the NBA that don't have good offensive schemes either. Mike D'Antoni's scheme was pretty much let Nash + Amare do the pick and roll. It worked, but it didn't require much coaching skill to do that. Some teams can win it with a bad coach, but then they did more talent. The Cavs have an average or slight above amount of talent but an average or bad coach.

If he goes out trashing the franchise, owners, and city (like McGrady) then yeah, they would turn on him fast as hell. If he leaves because he wants to win and he knows this isn't the best situation for him and acknowledges the fans and thanks them and kisses some ass (like Iverson) then they would probably still support him to a degree.
I think the main reason for this is that Lebron's inability to adjust his game during crucial times or whenever the opposition throws different strategies against him is being exploited by the Celtics. Lebron has al ot of time to learn and dominate some more... dont get me wrong he is already a beast as is...
Greatest. Thread. Ever. LeBrick is a great player, but he isn't on Kobe's level..YET. Boston has figured him out, and he hasn't shown any adjustments.
