Lebron James overrated.?

[The Good$!!!]

hahaha na apil man nuon si Carmelo sa overrated nga mao cgi gi buthan sa media


******

wa man ta nag compare ni LeBron over Kobe, lahi na cguro na nga thread...

Hehehehe you don't like LeBron... I sure do hate Melo as hell but I appreciate the talent though...^^

All about respect bai...^^

OT:
Melo is just a troublesome nutcase who needs a disciplinarian coach ala Chuck Daly or Pat Riley and he's all set... He should get his act together bai... Sayang, Iverson is not getting younger. Iya man sad na sala nga g initan cya sa media...

The way I see it, mas lig-on ang Nuggets last season kaysa karon... Goodluck sa imung Nuggets Arch... Hopefully mag abot cla sa Hornets next playoffs...^^

kay ang rules sauna dli mn ka kasulod ug NBA kung dli ka college level, unlike now na pwde na high school ma draft sa NBA...

I think you got that backwards dude...

[vanguard]

LeBron was overrated when he entered the NBA. He was good but not really that great. Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson did better than him in their rookie years. But since then James has lived up to it and has proven that he really deserved such hype.

lebron is an overated player, wala pa gani xay na proved sa nba...IMHO

wala pa gani xay na proved sa nba...IMHO

Really?!? Again my apologies for the language, but I think that's another retarded statement. And ignorant, if I may add.

All that at a young age of 23, by the way. If these are not considered "proof", I don't know what is.

overrated or not the bottom line is LBJ is simply so good...that's why he gets those attention because he is so damn good...NIKE as well as the Cavz will not waste millions of dollars on him if he's not good or overrated as you guyz would claim...

He might be overrated for you guyz but damn he's so good ur putting him down hehehe and you know wat u can't put a good man down...

and i can't wait for the day for LBJ to prove you all "baseless critics" wrong hehehehe!

[Nutley]

wait nalang gud ta if maka champion si lebron karon nga season.mubalhin gani na siya sa euro na makuhaan na jud ug maayo ang nba.wait lang ta if ma prove niya nga makachampion siya.basin mapareha na siya ni malone ug ni barkley nga wa jud intawon singsing bisan isa.

[hoopster21]

di ra ang pag ka champion bro ang sukdanan kung unsa ka kamaayu ang player...sa ato pa banga cla o overrated cla ni malone o stockton kay wa man jd ma champion? cla webber? iverson? c kidd? c nowitzki? sa ato pa banga cla kay wala ma champion?

[tackielarla]

^Based sa logic sa uban, yes banga/overrated sila. Mas maayo pa si Jacque Vaughn sa Spurs kay naay singsing!
