Been saying this same thing.
If I'm starting a team right now, I'll take Lebron.
But dear God I hope I don't have to play Kobe with the game on the line. Or D-Wade for that matter. Both have much more of a killer instinct than Lebron.
For every spectacular shot he makes, he turns it over twice, misses two 4th quarter free throws, gets stuffed and throws up a clunker.
Lebron is still not a pure shooter either. He has to be on to be shooting well. Otherwise, he can go ice cold or throw up some ugly shots.
Lebron is at his best when he puts his head down, barrels to the basket, and tries to get bailed out by ticky tack fouls or he finishes strong.
Lebron is easily the most talented player in the game today, and his potential is obviously just as great, but he is not a closer yet, he doesn't have a killer instinct, his shooting is inconsistent, and he is not even close to being the best ever like the media hype makes him sound.
