Lest anyone forgets, LBJ has speed as well ..... to go along with his power and size.
Can't fault the guy for being born with such physical traits.
I'm not a big fan of LBJ, but without a doubt, he'll go down as among the best to ever play the game ...... among the top 5 in my books (in no order - Jordan, Magic, Jabbar, Russell, Lebron).
====================================================================
My humble two-cents on all the Pinoy hate for Lebron.
** Social media.
** The Decision - This was probably the worst for Lebron and it's mostly his fault. I'm not knocking him for going to the HEAT - it was his legal & free-agent right to choose his team, even taking lesser money ....... but the way he handled it, via a television event, was indeed insensitive to many folks.
** Michael Jordan ...... The greatest to ever play the game - he dominated & revolutionized the game in such a way that even to this day, hardcore & casual fans are captivated by his achievements.
Unlike Jordan who had many predecessors, contemporaries & heirs with similar traits & games ex. Kobe, Wade, Drexler, Gervin, Miller, etc. ....... Lebron's physical traits & skillsets have little to compare with - Magic is probably the closest one.
Folks are usually apprehensive of what is different and unique.
Besides, we Pinoys always root for the small guys / guards ...... go to any basketball court anywhere in the country and 99.9% of the time you'll see shooting guard play.
