    Would you ever compare Josh Smith to LeBron James?

    Maybe athletically or physically, but that is the only areas where they really compare. Josh Smith is much more raw and seems to rely almost solely on his athletic ability. He does not have much, if any, outside game. His handling and passing ability is not at the level it should be for even an average guard.

    Raw and potential is written all over his face. I love watching this kid though, keeps you on the edge of your seat. If he has the work ethic, this kid will defiitely become something special.

    He had a dunk the other week where he was eye level with the rim! Anyone see it?

    Athletically yes. Offensively/Defensively, no. James has the good offensive game, Smith doesn't. Smith has the defensive game, James doesn't.

    No. Not even close. Do I need a reason?

    Great quality posting there, and why did you have to start a new thread about this if you werent going to start discussing something with a point not comparing 2 totally different players who's only similarity is athleticism?

    But I'll answer your question, No there not similar at all except the highlights both of these guys can get up there. J-Smoove would have the upper hand on defense but 'Bron wins the offesive battle by miles. LeBron is a once in a lifetime player who comes along about every 3-4 decades, Josh is exciting and a nuts player dont get me wrong after all he is my favorite player but he isnt as good as LeBron in anyway shape or form. Josh Smith is more of a guy with potential to be a superstar and go to tons of all-star games and bring excitement to whatever team he's on while LeBron is a superstar of the other kind the kind that you can count on to win you games and sell tickets and do big things.

    thats true Buckets, Josh Smith is a great shot blocker for his size too, probably best 2 guard shot blocker in the league, him or G-Wallace, I hope he gets in the dunk contest.. even though I dont think he will because hes more of a game dunker [​IMG]

    LBJ, Josh Smith and G-Wallace got crazy hops... Imagine if they were all on the same team... These guys seem to spend more time in the air than on the floor. [​IMG]

    No. James is the kind of guy who will always have the ball in his hands, making plays & making plays for his teammates. Smith does not have great handles, but he is going to be a scoring machine who plays great defense.
