thats becuz you cant tell your ass from your elbow.
This is by far worst list I've seen.
its not bad. only problem is having Durant on there for this yr. LeBron was clearly the best player in basketball this yr and it showed more than ever towards the end of the regular season.

It is bad. Shaq wasn't even the best player on his team in 04. Lebron wasn't better than Kobe in 08. AI for 01 is beyond laughable. Rose in 11 and Durant for this year are just as bad.

Rest In Peace KOBE
2005-2008 Kobe ran shyt. Esp 06,07 and 08.

where are people getting the idea that Kobe "ran shyt" in 08?
Lebron: 30 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists on 48%
Kobe: 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists on 46%
Lebron's 2nd best player was an aging Ilgauskas, yet he somehow managed to take Boston to 7 games. Boston beat Kobe and a much more talented Lakers' team in the Finals in only 6 games.

Lebron shot 35% vs Boston. Even had a game where he shot 2 for 18 and his team still won.
Atlanta took the Celtics to 7 games. So I guess that means Joe Johnson> Kobe?

I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but how in the world did you put T-Mac as the best player in the league for 03? Despite the fact that he won the scoring title that was probably his worst season in ORL. He was just jacking up threes and wasn't really giving his all and he said so himself.
