Be interesting to see how Lakers go, Also Boston should have won game 7 of the finals after blowing two double digit leads, how will Boston respond with Shaq and Jermaine onboard. The Heat should be great to watch. But hope Atlanta win the title and Josh Smith gets all nba first team, all defensive first team, finals mvp, nba mvp and all star mvp. LOL : * ) and Defensive player of the year lol JO will get hurt before he makes a impact, and well you know the story with Shaq he's gonna wreck BOS team chemistry before the season ends (will start bitching about his touches and will half-ass it on defense as usual).

I'm going to go to say this. Heat-Wizards ECF. James vs. Wall and Arenas. I think James is the best player in this game. Dwade is third. Kobe is fourth. Durant is 2. The Akron Hammer is a monster, 6'9, 265? He can do it all too. If these 'haters' motivate him the way I think they willl, he'll be putting up 35 a night with two studs on his team. Bosh won't mean anything for that team because that Predator look-a-like is massively overrated. One more thing, Jordan is in a class of himself. Kobe is NOTHING like MJ. Don't compare them. Kobe has had superstars on his team for each ring, so when people say that this Bron decision pisses them off, go fuck yourself. Kobe is great, but he's not a MJ. MJ was the best player I've ever seen by FAR. I'd take Bron over Kobe though, and that is if they were the same age. One more thing. Memphis' Greivis Vasquez, stud. I'm expecting big things from the 6'6 PG. Kobe is nothing like MJ? Ummm, you need to go back and watch tapes of MJ kid. How old are u again Brad? Kobe is very similar to Jordan and is absolutely the closest thing to him we will ever see. I think you forget how good Pippen really was. Yes Jordan was amazing but without Pippen, they don't win close to six NBA championships. Everyone needs a sidekick. Lebron wasnt gonna get a championship unless he had another star with him. Kobe had another star with him for all 5. That's how you win Championships. Just recently look at the combo's of players who won. Kobe and Shaq, Kobe and Pau, Wade and Shaq, Duncan and Robinson, The Boston Three Party. Pistons were the exception. But 90% of NBA championship teams there r 2 stars on each team. Kobe is right up there in the category with Jordan as most clutch players in the history of the game. We havent even begun to sniff at that out of lebron yet. He is an amazing athlete and can do amazing things on the court, but until he shows he can take over a game LATE in the game and win a ring, then he isnt in the same breath as kobe and MJ Bosh won't mean anything for that team? Umm you need an inside presence to win a championship. You take Bosh off that team they dont have a chance against the lakers. He means a ton to that team and he has to be there and do well if that team wants a ring

Also TB... Wiz in the ECF? That's wishful thinking. Love Gilbert, but he is not good for that locker room. They are relying too heavily up front on inexperienced guys. McGee is WAY too young to rely on yet and Blatche is solid, but Gilbert Jamison and Caron were all gone once he started going off. He was the only player left, of course he was going to blow up. He will be solid this year, but with Wall and Arenas in the back court Blatche will just b a solid player, nothing special. They r headed in the right direction cause obviously Wall has huge potential and I think McGee will be a very good big in a couple years, but they are way too young and inexperienced to make it to the ECF. IMO the Heat, Celtics, Magic, Hawks, Nets(especially if they land Melo) Bulls and Bucks are far superior to the Wiz

The nba season is going to be interesting, i see Boston vs Orlando ECF. Lakers vs Boston Finals again. The MVP i see KD taking it also. I do agree kobe is not MJ but he is the closes thing to MJ. He is also the best player in our generation.

It's like comparing a runningback to Barry Sanders, it can't be done. Yes the prediction of the Wiz in the ECF is bold. However, if that team stays healthy and gets some help(Ala Boston getting older and hurting), then anything is possible. I'm almost 20 by the way, and Yes i know that Kobe has 5 rings but I can't compare a rapist to MJ on or off the court. MJ has his own flaws, but he is a man that gave it all every night out there. I see games where Kobe is off completely off. Maybe I'm just a homer for MJ and Bron Bron but I just haaaaaate Kobe. He's a cocky bastard who thinks because he has had the dominant post game in the triangle offense that he's the best. I think honestly if you put Bron on those teams Bron has more rings than Kobe. That being said. Heat win 70 games this year. But AGAIN, BOSH IS OVERRRATED.

"Durant is more like Jordan,IMO." Durant is more like Jordan than Kobe? UGG.. Durant is 6'10. The guy jacks up 3's all day long. Please don't tell anyone that Durant's game is more like MJ than Kobe's. I like Durant and think he is very good already and will continue to get better, but to say his game is more like Jordan's than Kobe's is incredibly Inaccurate. And Jordan was very cocky as well. Yeah I understand people dont like Kobe because of the whole "rape" thing (typical woman trying to just get paid off by a superstar millionaire) and because he is a very cocky player, but there are very few great players that aren't cocky. They know they r the best and some r more humble about it than others, but most stars are cocky guys. It's just the way it is. "I think honestly if you put Bron on those teams Bron has more rings than Kobe." I respect your opinion Brad, but again I think you are completely wrong. We will never know for sure, but LeBron is a completely different player than Jordan or Kobe. LeBron wouldnt know what to do in a Triangle Offensive system. He is not an outside shooter, and a lot of his offense involves 1 on 1 with 4 guys standing around. Triangle Offense is not that at all. I personally think that this age group is more obsessed with all around #'s and the highlight real than actually playing the game and understanding how the game is played on the court. Now a days people will bring in players and change the system to what fits them better instead of bringing in the correct player to fit what system is already in place. That is why Phil Jackson is still one of the greatest coaches in the game and jerry buss is a great owner. Pau is THE PERFECT FIT at C for the Triangle. One thing I always love to point out is how bad of a coach Mike Brown really was. He implemented a system that never had a chance to succeed. Its Lebron's team and we will do whatever he wants. That's a coward of a coach. Implement a system that the ENTIRE TEAM fits well into not just your superstar Ok I think I am done

That being said. Heat win 70 games this year. But AGAIN, BOSH IS OVERRRATED. so that's your excuse cause he's a rapist, where's the proof, the charges were dropped and there was mounting evidence that the chick had intercourse with other men during that period, on top of that she didn't even bother to show up to court, which seals the deal that this chick was out for the money and nothing else. You blast KB for his situation what about MJ, he had marital issues as well, and on top of that he had gambling issues, which if he had kept going to the distance with it, David Stern would have banned him from the NBA cause it would destroy the integrity of the game. Kobe's a cocky bastard and LBJ isn't, I am sure it was LBJ that was wearing a I am all about stats shirt, I am MVP, saying that the teammates were his sidekicks, as well as having a 1 hour SHOW ON ESPN to tell where he was GOING. I'll give you that MJ IS THE GOAT (even though Wilt and Magic can give him a run for his money), so he wins that battle against KB by 1000000 TIMES, but LBJ is not even close the BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME, he's BARELY in the top 3 as far as I am concerned. LBJ IS GREAT in terms of driving to the basket and SHOT BLOCK DEFENSE, but his man to man defense is average, he can't SHOOT (his shots are basically from 2 inch or less), can't post up (has zero post moves, and never tries to post up), and number one and most importantly he is ANTI-CLUTCH. KD and LBJ isn't even close to MJ, KB's game is mirrored just like MJ's, his moves, his attitude, and his work ethic, and his clutch intangibles, LBJ has nothing of that sort. BTW B. Sanders is not the best RB of all time that honor goes to Mr. Jim Brown or Walter Payton.

LBJ wouldn't fit in TRI-OFFENSE, TRI-OFFENSE relies on spacing and cutting, LBJ's game is based on driving at the basket like a madman or chucking up 3's at the top of the key.

If you think Barry Sanders isn't the best RB of all time then something is wrong with you..
He quit at the right time too.
Who else did the lions have then/
NOBODY!
