Have LeBron's peers recognized him as the best yet?

[Cynical Thoughts]

 

[kbtwofour]

LMAO @ these fools posting quotes from his teammates. It's a given his teammates are going to say he is the best and give him props.

What the OP is saying when Kobe and MJ were the best, you could easily hear their opponents say in the media before games, after games, and during the season say he is the best player in the league and give him props.

 

[Primetime21]

LeBron gets his props from everybody from Nash to Paul George to Popovich..What you want somebody to make a thread everytime a player or coach praises him or do you got everyone else here confused with you loco ass Kobe stans

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Craig don't even respect bronze

 

[Broke Wave]

Why does he need respect from the rest of the league?

He just needs to keep crushing their souls and dunking on them...

 

[paidNfull]

he was the MVP last year and is going to be again this year, anyone who says hes not the best player in the league is just delusional

yea Nash was the best player when he won them back to back MVP's

 

[Yuzo Lightheart]

reading comprehension fail

the question is why ain't he getting props from his peers if he's the best?

i feel like a lot of players really dont like lebron at all especially rose, durant etc



i remember probably in 2011 a player on the wizards was rocking his headband above his hairline so that part of his hairline was sticking out underneath his headband clearly to mock the way lebron wears his

things like that wouldnt happen to any other player except lebron. i dont know how to explain it but he just doesnt really get a level of respect other players have for each other. its like people accept his dominance but not him as a person. him being even more dominant this year i know is hurting a lot of other top players right now

even if you were to hear kd or kobe admit lebron is the best player right now it would probably come with a lot of reluctance in how they would try to come out and say it. they woulnt have it in them to just flat out praise him

lol at posting videos and quotes of Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis, HIS TEAMMATES. like they aren't going to say that Lebron's not the best, he's on their team and the reason they are number 1 in the East. Not saying he isn't the best, just saying those aren't good responses to the OP.

yeah I was looking more for his opponents like that Kobe vid posted earlier showed nikkas like Monta Ellis and Pietrus

ya and nash is clearly on lebrons level and ppl have questioned lebrons mvps

idk what ppl are really trying to fight that shyt is pretty lame at this point

seems like it might be jealousy, a lot of players in the league today are bytches

Maybe that has to do with the fact that much of his greatness is the result of god given athleticism? My theory is not that people dislike him as a person. From everything we've heard he's a cool dude who no one besides Deshawn Stevenson hates. However, lets be real LeBron is the freak of freak athletes. Kobe and KD prolly look at him like you better be that good cause if I had your body I'd also be killin nikkas on some next level shyt.

When Kobe was dominating, nikkas weren't thinking if I had his size/speed/strength I'd be doing the same shyt. They were like how the fukk he dropping 50 on nikkas shootin fadeaways with 3 nikkas on him?

Kobe and Mike's dominance was largely skill based. LeBron's dominance is largely cause he's bigger/faster/stronger than everyone else. Just like Shaq didn't get alot of respect cause he was just bigger and stronger than everyone else, I don't think LeBron's peers respect him that much cause they don't think he's earned it like Kobe/Mike did.

, I don't think LeBron's peers respect him that much cause they don't think he's earned it like Kobe/Mike did.

All that yappin and this is all you really wanted to say

still it was never like that when kobe was dominating. nobody really seemed to dislike kobe or want to take him out despite his dominance like i feel they do with lebron. theres just something about lebron that players dislike. when kobe had the asg blocks durant was on twitter the very next thing talking about how in so many words that an elite player shouldnt be getting locked up like that. whether or not hes right you usually wouldnt hear a player go out of his way to take the opportunity to criticize if a player is actually elite or not

 

[madness]

no one has tried lebron the way they try kobe either

when's the last time lebron caught a 1-2 combo from a nikka 6 inches shorter than him, got thrown over the scorer's table by a dude 40 pounds lighter than him or got clotheslined?

true, i just think its the age of the hater tho

Just my theory.

Its just interesting cause if I just watched ESPN, you'd think LeBron was the second coming of Jordan. However, his peers don't reciprocate the sentiments. Its an interesting quandary.
