Yes.

Both better than KD.

And that is how history will perceive him.

Bernard King and Alex English.

It is what it is. The media will never shut up on it.......at least right now. BTW, I can name 2 players better than KD that aren't in HoF(?).

Well you aint the media.

It is a factor everybody looks at.

Meh, he is 29. Switched teams to get the ring.

No, it ain't gonna happen.

I wouldn't put Magic over Bird. Bird was older and Magic came out after 2 years at MSU.

The Bird Celtics were around his age if not older(Parrish). Bird's back had nothing to do with it. The Lakers were a better franchise back then.

Yes it was......put the NBA on the map.

Yes he did....and lots of it.

I love Larry, but how many HoFers were on his teams?

I really don't know about Kareem and Russell. Both had a lot of talent around them. Magic had the talent around him as well. No, it is a two horse race. James or Jordan?

Kobe is LeBron......just not what is on the court. Kobe settled out of court on a rape charge. James bolted for Miami. And fwiw MJ was screwing a gal from my neck of the woods. Pick your poison.

Kobe

My Dad is soon to be 78 and an avid b-ball fan. He loves these discussions when they come up. The NBA spans his lifetime. He would tell you that LeBron, without a doubt, is the greatest player he has ever seen. Think about that for a while. And fwiw, Dad is a Bulls fan. King James is like Wilt but better. He is a freak.

Exactly. I have seen some of the greats. LBJ is something else. I would invite anybody to tell me another player in the NBA that can literally carry their team on their back. I am not a James fan, but I sure as hell respect his greatness.

Love your MLB analogy and it is spot on. It will be deemed a bad trade if PG does indeed bolt from OKC. One year rental with no results. And the Thunder fans look at what they gave up for him.

Who is first?

Wait, they play basketball in Boston?

Look on the bright side......the Vic trade made OKC fans forget about the horrible Harden trade!!!!!!!
