LBJ also has improved his game in his seven years in the league. His range has increased, as has his accuracy.
He also learned to be a leader in Cleveland and carried his team to best record in the regular season, as well as taking his team to the NBA Finals.
While LeBron’s speed on the perimeter, explosiveness around the basket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and overall game differs from the point guard Magic, the new Heat player passes much like the Laker Legend and looks to involve his teammates in a similar fashion.
Charles Barkley has even preached this for years, that Cleveland should have run more often. And, I agree.
If LeBron really is Magic and could get up and down the court anything like the old Showtime Lakers from the 1980’s, it would be crazy time no matter what team the King reigned over.
But the real difference between these two great players is that Kobe has a Gladiator mentality. Hadarii Jones, a Featured Columnist here at the B/R, said it best in a recent article. “Kobe is a dying breed.”
I couldn’t agree more. And, I’m not alone.
The backlash that has swarmed the King after his decision to leave Cleveland for Miami is like a rainstorm in Seattle that never ends. And, from all angles, LeBron has been hit, from peers to legends.
The focus is all about LeBron’s heart, his will to win, and his ability to be “The Man” on his own team, not to partner with other greats.
The zinger that has stung the most was from Michael Jordan himself.
After a recent golf tourney, MJ said, “There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], called up Magic and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team.
“But that’s … things are different. I can’t say that’s a bad thing. It’s an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I was trying to beat those guys.”
Those comments from MJ are going to haunt LeBron for a very long time, at least until he wins multiple rings.
But the legend disappointment over LeBron’s decision didn’t stop there. Charles Barkley told the Arizona Republic last week, “Mike and I are in 100 percent agreement on this. If you’re the two-time defending NBA MVP, you don’t leave anywhere. They come to you. That’s ridiculous.
“I like LeBron. He’s a great player. But I don’t think in the history of sports you can find a two-time defending MVP leaving to go play with other people.”
Like a breakaway dunk, the bashing didn’t stop there. Magic was quoted as saying,“we didn’t think about it cause that’s not what we were about,” said Johnson, whose Michigan State squad beat Bird’s Indiana State team in the 1979 National Collegiate Athletic Association championship. “From college, I was trying to figure out how to beat Larry Bird.”
Was this too harsh of criticism from these three Hall of Famers? Possibly. Did LeBron deserve this? Maybe not.
I see it differently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from a fresh perspective. I see it this way.
LeBron took control of his career, played his own General Manager when Cleveland couldn’t get him a real No. 2, similar to a Pau Gasol, and LeBron had to leave and join a new team to partner with a real No. 2.
I’m sorry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Cavs never had a real No. 2, a player who will demand a double team. I’m talking a real threat, a real All-Star. That’s what Kobe has. That’s what Garnett has in Pierce, or even the other way around in Boston.
So, I can see why LeBron made the decision. And, time will be the true judge.
For now, LeBron has a heap of junk to climb out of, get from under all this ridicule. But fans have short memories and winning erases all mistakes.
If LeBron is really serious about winning, that it is the only thing that matters, it would serve him well to look to in a different direction than he has in the past.
The biggest lesson LeBron should learn is not from the legends but from Kobe. Get back to work.
The real reason there is still no comparison, no real debate in the LeBron v. Kobe battle is that Kobe has that killer instinct. Win or die.
You can almost see it in his face each game, each last-second shot. We don’t yet see this on a consistent basis from LeBron.
I think that’s what the legends and everyone else is really trying to say about LeBron. The underlying question is his will to win, his real drive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his supreme desire to be the best at all costs.
Jordan had it. Magic had it. Kobe has it. They would step on their opponent’s throat to win. And, they were their own man. Period.
