What an insult it is to compare my poker play to LeBron's basketball play! I am crushed.

Kid, you do realize that LeBron James is the most talented / gifted player in the NBA right now, right?

Well, maybe D-Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen and co aren't good enough to take Lebron to the next title (just a hunch based on tonight's blowout against OCK). guess next year he'll want to play with the entire Dream Team roster LOL

First of all, Its February, All this Heat aren't crushing is overblown. they have more mileage over the last 2 seasons than any other team.
2nd KD is the 2nd best player in the league, and is in the form of his life, and has a strong team around him. He is putting up beastly numbers even with RW out and having to shoulder a lot more shot creation responsibility.

Mileage from last season, not o mention that overall record won't matter that much in getting out of the west. Looking at your teams record only ones partway. I'm also a big OKC fan and you are giving zero respect to their extremely effective bench, defensive specialists, and role players.
KD is outplaying LBJ right now it's true, but he has had the best stretch of his career and is posting career best numbers right now, and this is the first time in KD career he has posted a higher PER than him ( not too mention PER undervalues defence which KD is no way near him on.)
It's also odd that you hate on Lebron for being athletic, but love KD despite him being outrageously tall for his position and having a 7foot 4inch wingspan on a 6ft11 frame. But I guess he has talent?
And all of this is coming from a huge OKC fan, playoffs are what really matters.

KD is the better scorer, better shooter especially from way out. He is also slightly better rebounder than Lebron. But aside from those categories, Lebron is way better than KD. His lockdown and perimeter defense is way off the charts not only compared to Durant but from the other players as well. He can guard multiple positions not to mention play multiple positions. His court awareness is also very high and is a very good passer. His athleticism is freaking unbelievable( as if he is juiced up, but he's not). This is coming from a Kobe Fan and a Lebron hater. Kobe in his prime is another story. One thing more, the only thing Lebron does'nt have, is a very good footwork - ala Kobe or MJ.

Chipper- Lebron doesn't have really good shooting too..which is in my opinio the most important part of the game. anyway, if Lebron is so much better than KD, than how come OKC are looking much better than Miami? we can all agree that the heat's roster is better than OKC and I wouldn't day Coach Brooks is better than Spolstra

Yanivgo - Lebron doesn't have really good shooting too.which is in my opinion the most important part of the game.
- Lebron's shooting improved drastically through the years. You just can't leave him wide open for jumpshots nowadays.Remember game 7 of last year Finals against the Spurs. The Spurs let Lebron took a jumper rather than he drives strong to the hoop in the dying seconds of the game, and the result was Lebron's second ring.
If you think shooting is the most important part of the game in your opinion, so be it, I won't argue with that. To Each Their Own.
Anyway, if Lebron is so much better than KD, then how come OKC are looking much better than Miami?
- This is still a Regular Season, you tell me that in the postseason. Regular Season Games win against a certain team doesn't mean a lot, and I assume you know that! Miami is just coasting around. Though Indiana will pose a lot of problems come playoff time against them.
We can all agree that the heat's roster is better than OKC and I wouldn't say Coach Brooks is better than Spoelstra.
- I don't think so. Wade is getting slower by the minute due to his injuries. Reggie Jackson is coming out of age, not to mention Westbrook is still in the injury list. OKC has a deeper bench compare to Miami and during playoffs, Spo cut his rotation to 8 players just like Riley. And this will factor a lot in the long run.
I play basketball in HS, could have played in College but decided not to and my ex-boyfriend play professional basketball overseas (So I know squat about this game). But that doesn't mean I'm an expert of this. I just love this game and these comments are coming from my POV. But I just don't argue just for the sake of arguments. I bring facts to the table. And I see a lot of flaws from your statements (including your early posts in this thread), and I wonder if you even play competitive basketball let alone knows the basic fundamentals of it.

Big NBA fan here! It's weird that you're a Lakers fan and your fav player is D.Rose, not Kobe lol.
Anyways, this year is been pretty cool out West. I like Portland, OKC and Spurs to go deep into the playoffs. On the other hand, the Heat will have a difficult time this year against the Pacers with the emergence of Paul George and Roy Hibbert. Despite this, I still got the Heat in 6.
I'd love to see the Heat vs OKC in the Finals once again!

Well, I thought this was more of a grown-ups forums, I admit..nevertheless you surely are the more articulated one of the both of us (since english is not my native tounge). however I find it very difficult to understand this- "But I just don't argue just for the sake of arguments. I bring facts to the table". what facts did you bring if I may ask?
and btw, if you disagree that shooting is the most important part of the game, then I think you don't really understand the game....maybe when you'll grow up though..
