Hey this is my first blog!
I'm not really inspired to write anything.... I don't think anybody is reading this stuff anyway at the moment because I just started..... Basically I am blogging to myself..... But I guess I will just write about my favorite subject to write about: SPORTS!
I was always sad because I got into sports around 7th grade. The many disadvantages I had were that I got into basketball just as Michael Jordan retire, I just missed Steve Young, Jerry Rice, and caught Marshall Faulk's last good season, and I totally missed the 2001 Met's amazing run to the World Series.
I always compare the players of my generation to the players of the older generation and wonder if I will ever be blessed to experience someone amazing like Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, or Steve Young, and so on. I think this year in basketball I can finally say I am witnessing someone who is going to make history!
This whole LeBron James and Kobe Bryant feud is AWESOME! It's pretty funny how people use to make LeBron and Carmelo rivals because they were the top two drafted players and then for awhile it was LeBron and Dwayne Wade because Wade won a championship but now it is LeBron vs Kobe and this rivalry has made the NBA AWESOME.
If I were to pick between the two I would definately pick Kobe right now because I think he plays smarter, he's the best closer in the game, and he is simply unstoppable. I still don't really believe in LeBron yet because you can still somehow stop our outplay his team. You can't stop LeBron but his team is still stoppable. In my opinion LeBron is starting to become the next Kevin Garnett when he was on the T-Wolves. He had players who couldn't help him in the playoffs but now that he's on a team with 2 players who can get their own 20 points and he won a championship. I think Mo Williams is decent but I don't believe in him. I think if LeBron can get just ONE solidfied player he will win MANY championships.
On the other hand Kobe has a perfect team. I think the only team that is better well built is Orlando the only thing that seperates the Lakers from Orlando is that they have Kobe. Kobe is someone you cannot predict. The reason why the Lakers are a well built team is that their whole team is centered around Kobe. They got plenty of three point shooters who Kobe can kick it out to, they have two great rebounders who can create second chance points for Kobe, they have slashers who can cut for Kobe to pass to, they have two decent point guards who can bring the ball up and give Kobe the ball and who have a good mid range for Kobe to pass to, and they have Pau Gasol who can get 20 points and 10 rebounds so Kobe doesn't have to do things all by himself. It's like Kobe is the missing puzzle piece he fits perfectly in the team and that team fits perfectly around him.
LeBron's team did win 60 games in the regular season but this is the playoffs. This is where it counts and if you cannot execute when it counts in the NBA, then in my opinion your a waste of money. Sure Orlando matches up really well against the Cavs and Dwight Howard and his 6-10 three point shooters are incredible but the Cavs have their own matchup advantages. First of all they have LeBron.... need I say more? Second their 1 and 2 guards are much better scoreres than Orlando's. Delonte West and Mo Williams are the key for the Cavs to win but these guys are not producing the way Rashad and Hedeo are playing. Mo Williams has not had 20 points all series and Delonte has only had one 17 point game the rest of the games he has only had about 11 points. LeBron can get 40 no problem but if he has no help, he's going nowhere.
But we're back to the same question..... who's better LeBron or Kobe? I still think Kobe is better because even though his stats are not as good as LeBron's and even though he is getting older I think he plays smarter. LeBron is making a lot of turnovers these days and that's because he is only 24. But when it is all said and done I think LeBron will be the best player in NBA history by far!
I'll write less useless stuff later.....
