I am still trying to figure out why he is being called "King James" I mean , what has he done in the 7 years he has been in the league? Now I know he has won 2 mvp awards but those are individual awards and I am not saying he did'nt deserve them but if I remember correctly , the 2 years that he won those awards there was another guy busy winning his 4th and 5th NBA Championship......While The aforementioned "King" can't even take his team to the finals in either year of winning those awards.

I know some people have always said that Kobe could'nt win without Shaq but he did win 2 more titles without him amd I guarantee that my belvoed Lakers would not have won any of those titles without Kobe on the team. I honestly believe that Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest clutch players in the history of the NBA.

I am just sick and tired of hearing about a guy that has done absolutely nothing in the league but score a bunch of points and win regular season games but always allow his team to fall flat on their face in the playoffs.....when it really counts. All of the NBA greats are considered great because of their ability to win in the post-season and lead their team's to championships.

If you look over the last 20-25 years and name all of the great players of the game you will notice one common characteristic they all share..........RINGS! Here is a quick list of some of the guys I am referring to.

Magic Johnson
Kareem-Abdul Jabbar
Larry Bird
Kevin Mchale
Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Hakeem Olajuwon
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O'Neal
Kobe Bryant
Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan

Now, this list can go on and on through the years of the NBA but I have made my point , and in my somewhat biased opinion LeBron James is not a king ,hell he is'nt even a duke in Kobe's court if there is a king of the NBA it's not#23 or #6 or whatever he is wearing this year it's number 24....yes I am a die hard Lakers fan but I can totally feel the pain the Cleveland fans are feeling after "The Classless Chump" turned his cheek on his home town on national t.v. End Rant................Go Lakers!!
