    Not how I read it. I read it as a blanket statement that this is his best year which I disagree with. Not that it matters because I agree with Papag that Lebron is so far the MVP.

    FWIW: Pacers are two games ahead of Miami in the Eastern Conference, a half game ahead of Portland for the NBA's best record.

    LeBron is having the best season any basketball player has ever had, outside of possibly himself last season.

    HCP alluded to it; LeBron is shooting 63% from 2pt and 44% from 3pt while scoring 25.4 points a game. Nobody has come close to that in modern NBA history. LeBron has the highest PER in the league every season for 7 years running and the highest win share every season for 6 years running.

    Lebron’s best true shooting percentage (TS%) was .605 before last season which was .640 and now this season is .683.

    Lebron’s best effective field goal percentage (eFG%) was .554 before last season which was .603 and this season is now .638

    Most complete player to ever play the game. Enjoy watching him while you can. You'll be telling you grand kids about his accomplishments.

    Watching Lebron James makes me feel like I'm watching something I'll never see again.

    Kobe? Eh. They'll be another just as good as him someday.

    But with Lebron, probably never again.

    All IMO.

    Same here. I don't think there will be a superstar of his magnitude again for a long time. I mean Durant is good but he is the Malone to LeBron's Jordan.

    it's early, but OKC can't buy a boxout against ATL. Then again, when KD drains shots like that, then maybe you don't need to.

    Continuing with the "looking spry, amazingly" observations: Kyle Korver. 72% TS.

    OT: It's D-League, but this is a futhamuckin' beauty of a shot chart for the season:

    Smush Parker making a comeback? The always fantastic Jon Diebler?

    All this I understand, he's got the best shooting percentages of his career. I still don't think it's his best season... sue me.

    so, tattoo aficionados--it's not really my thing, so I feel unqualified to judge, but does it seem to anyone else that Birdman has large swatches of just plain color on him? Do you pay by the ounces of ink used, the intricacy of the design, etc? I mean, are you considered a below-average tattooee if they're just red and green blobs?

    BTW, HIbbert's kind of a beast. #newsflash

    Mario Chalmers finding that it's easy to be froggy when LeBron has your back.

    Honest Question, and really anyone can answer it: Why do so many people dislike Lebron? Other than the decision and that "Not 3, Not 4, Not 5" snafu... what has he done that's wholly terrible?
