So your saying that at the time of Shaq's most dominant years (Late 90's to early 2000s) he was the best player in the world? Yes he won MVP, but could you actually say he was the best player in the world? Come on,...dominance is one thing but being just the overly better player is another. Going back to those Shaq years, I felt that AI was actually the best in the world (late 90s (after Jordan left) to early 2000s).Also, I'm not using Lebron's physique against him, I'm just pointing out the obvious. Jordan's all around game was amazing..His mid-range game can actually be considered the best of all time. You can actually see hints of that same game in Kobe. Now I'm not saying Kobe is on Jordan's level or anything like that, but you can see where Kobe took a lot of his game from. Jordan and Kobe are so crafty when it comes to playing. You will literally see Kobe start to back somebody down from the 3pt line and then work into the desired position he wants to get. He has developed this game that is almost offensively perfect. It's crazy how his game has turned from that of an electric shooting guard/ very good player into one who uses his wits and knowledge of the game to do whatever he wants on the floor.Originally Posted by nyk buc
mike bibby is giving him the rondo treatment brother. and they only throw the kitchen sink at him when he uses the pick and roll. if he doesn't use that, the heat do NOT double him. what rose is facing isn't any different when you're the single star of a team like AI, tmac, kobe, lebron, wade faced.Originally Posted by thesimplestlife
you've been watching the playoffs right? Then haven't you noticed how every team has been playing defense on Rose? You act like Rose is playing worse than he usually does because he can't beat one man off the dribble. No, teams are throwing the kitchen sink at him to stop his dominance: Trapping, Double teaming, and triple teaming him in some instances. Now you cant honestly say teams are playing that type of defense on Lebron, can you? You know why they aren't...Well because he has Wade and Bosh, who both can score too. So you can't say well his numbers suck and doesn't look like the MVP yada yada yada..teams are going crazy defending him. The other bulls will need to be a bit more effective. You can contribute those numbers you said to what I just said, he has Wade and Bosh to help space the floor for him.Originally Posted by Rolaholic
Rose himself said that "It's extremely hard where a 6-8 guy can easily defend you". How can people still say that he has no jumper when he shot 51% and shot 45% from mid-range,the best numbers of his career. All his shooting %'s were better than Rose this year and overall he had better offensive numbers than rose despite the fact that he's also playing with one of the best offensive players in the league.. How exactly would you say that he's limited when he can score from virtually anywhere. What can Rose do more? Prettier lay ups? Explain. Not salty,just curious.
Rose is a great player all around but to say that he has a better offensive game is questionable since he put up worse offensive numbers being the number 1 scoring option on his team than LeBron who's had to share the load with D-Wade. Even during the post-season,Rose hasn't played like the MVP he was during the season while LeBron has been the best player in these playoffs with Dirk.
Now to compare their offensive games I will say this..IMO Rose has a better mid-range game. His mid range game is right up there with the best in the league and his release is fast enough that he can get it off at anytime. Lebron is a bit different, if he's not driving it's like you almost know what he's going to do. He'll probably do a little jab step then take a step back 3 or something like that. Yea, yea sometimes he will hit that little fade away mid range shot but that's really about it. I also feel Rose drives better than Lebron, and not b/c his layups are prettier either. Rose has more moves to get the hoop, while Lebron uses his god given build to almost plow his way to the hole. Rose can finish with EITHER hand equally while I'm not sure anyone in the league can do that up to par with him. Rose also has a bigger variety of shots he can make like Floaters, runners, and pull ups. When it comes down to it, I think Lebron's offensive game is good but there are other people in the league who have better ones than him, not just Rose. But luckily, Lebron is built so well for basketball that those flaws I just mentioned hardly surface.
who cares if lebron has god-given ability or whatever you may think. jordan doesn't have god-given quickness and athleticism at 6-6? or his god-given big hands? you're going to use that against lebron?
jordan was the best player in the L regardless of who you used to compare to him back then. kobe was the best player in the L for a 4-5 year stretch regardless of who you compared to him with. they were never one of the best 3pt shooters, but that shouldn't hurt their argument. they were not the best playmakers, but that shouldn't hurt their argument. and so on.
the best player is the player who literally dominates every matchups every game he goes out, whether that player is an average player or a superstar. that player outshines everybody on most nights. lebron is that player right now, as he can do that on BOTH ends.

some of you guys man...just because Lebron stopped Rose a couple of times doesn't mean he can really guard him. It's like when analysts were saying that Noah could guard Wade because he shut him down one time..SMH..
In all honesty I still believe Rose has a better offensive game the Lebron.If you have seen Lebron through his whole career then you can clearly see that he has some holes in his offense. He's actually a bit limited. He tends to drive a bit or shoot outside shots. Yes he makes mid range shots once in awhile, but he doesn't really have a mid range game nor a post one. Lebron is just blessed to be as big and as quick as he is, it really helps his game a lot.
Rose just tends to take way too many 3's. But in terms of a really solid offensive game, Rose has a bigger arsenal of moves and shots to get what he wants to get. Lebron is just really good at making the shots he's used to making.However, Rose can do more though.
Now defense is another thing..and I would definitely give that to Lebron. Rose tends to lag when it comes to screens and he seems to not care so much.

the defense rose is facing is not any worse (if that bad) than what lebron/wade/or prime kobe/prime tmac used to face on a reg basis in the playoffs. i don't know why you are surprised.Originally Posted by thesimplestlife

However, Rose isn't in the same position as A.I. was back in '01 when he had a bunch of bums around him and still took them to the finals. No, the bulls have some good players-Deng, Noah, Boozer(on some nights), etc..but still, it's not like how Jordan had Pippen or Kukoc or Kerr (since Korver isn't showing up). Plus if you look at Kobe and his championship years, he had good or legendary players around him (Shaq, Pau, Big Shot Horry, defensive minded Artest, etc).my point is nobody can do it alone. So yes, Jordan was killing people and was the best every night but you have to include the other players on his team as well. Jordan had Pippen, Kukoc, Kerr, Armstrong, people who would hit their shots if left alone. Rose has good players around them, but they're either not hitting their shots(Korver) or just don't feel comfortable shooting at all. Also, you can't be serious about the D they are playing on Rose. Be honest, when was the last time you've seen somebody pressed so hard all the time he has the ball. You know this was sort of happening to Lebron when he was at Cleveland. People were saying that he choked or gave up or crap like that. Well if you look back at it, the teams playing Lebron then were not going to let Lebron beat them, they wanted somebody else to step up, the thing is, nobody else did. But now in Miami Lebron is "the closer". You know why Lebron is closing out games like he is now? I already stated this but w/e...Wade and Bosh help to space the floor for him.

OK and Lebron shoots the midrange less than both players, he should shoot a higher % as the "best player in the world." How does he shoot the wide open three compared to other players? The pull up off the dribble?
This debate is stupid. In the end they're totally different players. They work on and master different aspects of the game to suit their physical attributes and given gifts. This is almost as bad as the "Who's better -- Tim Duncan or Allen Iverson?!" debates.
It's why Player A vs. Player B debates never go anywhere. This isn't the first time Lebron has had to guard D. Rose. He doesn't always lock him down, but last night he did. If they iso'd Rose against Bron 100 times how many times do you think D Rose would score?
I don't think Rose is better than LBJ, but I don't necessarily think Lebron is the best player in the league. My point is however, that people need to just get over what journalists say.
the best player in the L is that: the best player in the L. they dominate the game in more ways than any other player, and that's lebron james. he scores efficiently, rebound, make plays, and defend anybody. who else can make that claim? nobody.
are you saying we can't say michael jordan is better than allen iverson b/c of their different styles?
you watch the game of basketball. it should be evident.

It's why Player A vs. Player B debates never go anywhere. This isn't the first time Lebron has had to guard D. Rose. He doesn't always lock him down, but last night he did. If they iso'd Rose against Bron 100 times how many times do you think D Rose would score?
I don't think Rose is better than LBJ, but I don't necessarily think Lebron is the best player in the league. My point is however, that people need to just get over what journalists say.
the best player in the L is that: the best player in the L. they dominate the game in more ways than any other player, and that's lebron james. he scores efficiently, rebound, make plays, and defend anybody. who else can make that claim? nobody.
are you saying we can't say michael jordan is better than allen iverson b/c of their different styles?
you watch the game of basketball. it should be evident.
