Is Lebron James the Randy Moss of the NBA?

[Mr. 1nighter]

Only thing that separates them is LBJ has been coached up for the media responses. LBJ has the most talent i've seen but he just doesn't "seem" to be a real hustle player. Everything just comes to him and he never really goes and takes it. Just my two cents

Oh and he's still my number 2 behind MJ

 

[TheNig]

LeBron James is the most unique athlete I've ever witnessed. Good and bad.

 

[Captain Crunch]

That's a very good comparison

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

So you're saying Bron doesn't have that 'killer instinct'? I think I've heard of that somewhere before

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

i feel like tmac or vince may be better comparisons to moss but i can see this to a certain degree

 

[Alexander The Great]

this is the only season you can say MAYBE, Lebron isn't going all out every night. His 4 years in Miami, he brought it every night

yeah i would say vince is the best comparison.

when vince and moss were in situations they didnt like, they kinda just mailed it in. when they were in situations they liked, they played like one of the best.

only difference probably is vinces best is like top 15 all time at his position....while moss best is top 2 all time at his position.

 

[UserNameless]

No... because Bron has been able to negotiate the green light to do whatever the fukk he wants based on power plays and Randy didn't have the savvy to pull that off.

It's not about bringing it, It's about going for nikkas necks every game, driving to the basket, none of that p*ssy fadeaway jumpers just because.

i dont even think it was that randy didnt have the savvy. it's just that the power structure in football is different than in basketball.

lebron has always had the leverage in because his presence on a team instantly makes them a playoff squad that goes on a deep run. meanwhile in football you can be a superstar receiver and still have to rely on your QB to get you the ball, the o-line to pass protect, the running game to soften up defenses, your defense to keep your offense fresh, your special teams to give you good field position. etc.

he also never won a ring ...

I think that's Shaq. GOAT talent and potential, GOATish seasons and impact during those seasons, not quite GOAT though due to not bringing it game in and game out and year in and year out. This is really the first year you can say Bron hasn't brought it game in and game out. One thing you could never say about him his first 11 years is that he wasn't bringing it every night.

it was beyond his control
