Didn't want to have to, but what can you do?

This is dedicated to the ones that wanted to go "individual" as if it were the end all be all!

I'm not naming any names, just educating some of the "tidal waves" of comments in regards to who and whom, and what is what.

Lebron James.

A phenomenal athlete. I have the privilege of watching this man play.  Yet!!!!

I've also had the privilege of watching Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem, Dr. J, Michael Jordan, Shaq O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant play ..........................LIVE!

You see. I'm not a part of the "YOUTUBE" generation like most of the bloggers are. I

'm not a part of the "Google" generation which most of them get their info, yet I do google when need be.

I've watched Jordan play live in Chicago back in 93'.  And I've also watched as the Bulls made their respected runs. LIVE. Not on Youtube!

Live! While most bloggers were in grade school and didnt understand what a foul was.  But enough about that.

(side note) I love when bloggers talk about the 80's as if they were there. As if they have ever watched a game played in the 80's and really realized what was going on.

We see a lot of posts today in which we find that a lot of OTHER players were more deserving of the MVP award. I think that there are many that hold TRUE validity. Some are convincing. Some say "team success" some say "INDIVIDUAL PLAY".

I say both. Why not? Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant were all KEYS to their teams success. I would have said congrats to any of them if they had won.

One of them is the 2008 NBA MVP. And I wont even say because we all know.

We also know that some think because Lebron James who had a 30 point, 8 rebound, and 7 assist season shooting 48% and 71% freethrows and .315% 3pt. should have been the MVP. 

Excellent "INDIVIDUAL" season!

And also led a good team to a 45 win season in "arguably" the worst conference in the NBA. 

John Hollinger said he was the MVP because he explained that Lebron was just too  "head and shoulders above the rest" because he "individually" dominated!

Yet the coward that Hollinger is, voted for Chris Paul in the end.

And Paul was an excellent candidate. I wont take anything away from him or KG. They  were the reasons their teams are where they are.

Now lets look at another "INDIVIDUAL" great season. And no I'm not talking about 2005-2006.

I'm talking about 2002-2003. And another MVP player that  had these stats.

30 points 7 rebounds and 6 assists shooting 45% and 84% freethrows and 38% 3pt

"INDIVIDUALLY"

Now some people would say that Lebron's season was better because he averaged ONE more rebound and ONE more assist and shot .03% better. But like some people think,

its "INDIVIDUAL"

Heck, I would say it was a better "SEASON" as well! And I would also say that this was Lebron's greatest season. Yet' those other stats I mentioned came from

Kobe Bryant.

FIVE YEARS AGO. 

Those two seasons are very comparable. I think any Lebron fan would agree.

Lebron Still did it with some former All Stars, and Kobe Still did it with the megalomaniac that was Shaq.

Only difference is while Lebron was gaining those excellent stats. Kobe was on the other end  of the court stopping people from getting theirs.

 KOBE BRYANT WAS ALSO,

1ST TEAM ALL NBA DEFENDER 2002-2003

Since we know that LBJ wont be on any 1st Team Defense this year.

Now I ask you? Who had the better "INDIVIDUAL" season?

Lebron's 30 points 8 rebounds 7 assists 2008  or

Kobe's 30 points 7 rebounds 6 assists 2003 and 1st Team All Defense.

INDIVIDUALLY!

RANTS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUBJECT WILL BE DELETED!!!!!!!!!!!
