Is it just me or do you no longer know who the best player in the NBA anymore?

It used to be kobe, espn tried to shove lebron down our throats until everyone realized he couldnt win a championship by hisself, rose had a mvp season but no chips n was taken out by lebron n wade, then dirk has the best playoffs in years plus a chip to show for it but nobody is really calling him the best... Durant has the numbers but cant reach the finals yet, meli n stoudamire are in the same boat figuratively n literally speaking, n dwight howard is in a sinking ship, while we can agree guys like blake griff, cp3, and kevin love are on the outside of this discussion ...

    This can only mean one of two things: There's more talent in todays game overall when rating the best players or todays best players are not talented enough to fully seperate themselves from the bunch as the clear cut best player....Wade is the best player overall when healthy imo but I can see how many feel there is no clear cut best

    are you ? ? lebron is 6'8, 250 and fast enough to stay in front of rose until help comes who everybody knew was going to shoot. Thats why he was able to slow down rose

    mattere of fact, im not even going waste my time
    now u sound ? ???? Everybody knows rose shoots at the end of the game but nobody has been able to slow him down and until that ecf when lebron played great defense stop the hate u nit pick at every little thing to state ur case. Matter of fact ................never mind

    What a lame. All this name calling u wouldn't say in nobody face stop it.The fact ur arguments are ? is why u resort 2 that. Plus u still haven't proved my point on Lebron. The fact Deng was in that argument shows u don't know ? about basketball. And Jason terry wasn't guarded by Lebron the whole time. And just because u have a few games bad defensively doesn't ur a bad defender is it not the NBA and it was 82 games played smh

    Are you ? ? im dead serious

    I did exactloy what you did except used more examples to completely ? on your argument. You used him stopping Rose as a example of him being a great defender. I countered that with several players who gave him bucket.

    I think it is Lebron. And I simply don't get the threadstarter saying he couldn't win a title by himself. Who has?

    kobe looks like the best now again.. but two weeks from now it will be Derrick Rose... than 3 weeks form now Wade... then the week after that Lebron.. then Durant 4 weeks after that... then kobe again when he goes on another 40 point games streak..

    Safe to say only reason Wade looked like he was >>>> Kobe was because injuries slowed him down?


    Healthy Kobe ain't ? around.
