    if you play with Lebron, you will look like less than yourself at your best

    Kings don't let others shine, it's part of the creed.

    8 for 12 from the floor today. Ridiculous. I'm still so thrilled to watch this guy on our team every game.

    if you shoot 66% maybe you should shoot more or be more aggressive

    Just sayin'

    He was, it's called anchoring the defense that completely stifled the #1 offense in the league. How's that logic work for you?

    Me: He should shoot more
    You: He did, he played defense

    :Lebronwhat:

    LOL, I love that he impacts the game on both sides, but I know you think he's soft as charmin on Offense like I do. But if you are that big and talented, what would a guy like Kobe be doing with those talents. Kobe has really messed up a lot of things for a lot of fans. Who measures up on his plane as far as killer instinct, mastering the craft, and aggressiveness? The results weren't always there, but always showed up to scrap. I respected that.

    I can’t tell when Ron is serious anymore—he’s reached Ron-Nirvana.

    anyway, AD rulez.

    Comparing any player to Kobe is illogical.

    his mere presence puts a ton of pressure on the defense. those leak out buckets, the lob threats. he finds you easy points--well, easy for him--and erases what would be easy points for the opposition. beast.

    so where are these threats late games? just see him continue to float around the perimiter and settle for jump shots

    yesterday he was far too content to be a cog in the machine instead of THE cog of the machine

    I think it's who he is, love him or hate him

    it's why he wanted to play with Lebron instead of beat him. Pluses and negatives in everything I guess.

    Or he just knows lebron is the better option? AD did plenty of water carrying in NO, but I guess no one here ever watched them?

    I watched if he played the Lakers. That's true with pretty much every other team though. I barely have time to watch the Lakers.

    i watched him a fair amount when he was in NO, and he showed his full offensive game there. but dude had to do everything on both ends for them to be a .500 ballclub. he came here so he didn't have to do that, but make no mistake: he is able.

    I think we'd all like to see flashes of the "mamba mentality" within them when it's winning time. That's all I'm saying.

    Feel like he’s done it a couple times...the first win over Dallas maybe?

    he’s had several clutch buckets as I recall. Certainly more than his detractors seem to suggest.

    you'd think he'll at least support AD but no, his Lebron derangement syndrome has spread to the Brow:Adlaughing:

    Love him, but there are times he is more white swan than black swan.

    the last game in the 4th, he was very passive

    just like Kobe, fans will point out when he's not his best, and I see no problem with that.

    didnt say hes unklutch all the time in late gms situations but there's a high probability that its a jump shot n nothing near the basket when gm gets tight...his possesion late in the 4th was exactly like the clipp gm late in the fourth, face up hold the ball n fade away jump shot even tho opponents not even close to him in sz
