Re: ESPN Poll: Who's the best Player Kobe or LeBron
When it comes down to it the only people I see touting Lebron are people who watch him every night. That's understandable, and I'm not putting any negative connotations on your fandom, but I think it's possible you're sentimentality is a factor in your decisions.
I tend to overrate players on the Mavericks and Wizards because I have a lot of access to them, so it's no biggie.

That's why I try to use every statistic I can think of to supplement my knowledge. Nobody watches all the games of everyone, but I've at least seen a lot of Lakers games and Cavs games this year.
Numbers don't lie. They don't tell the whole story of course, but they aren't influenced by sentiment. That's how I can state my opinions with confidence. I have objective evidence on my side to back me up.
And quite frankly, if you've been paying attention to the kind of season he's been having, the statements in this thread have not been overrating him.

Re: ESPN Poll: Who's the best Player Kobe or LeBron
I have a question, since LeBron's performance will definitely cause more of a debate for MVP.
Has there ever been co-MVPs in the regular season? And if not, do you think that could potentially happen? I know we each have our own opinions on who the MVP is and who the best player is, etc. But is this possible?

I don't think it's happened, or at least I can't think of any instance off the top of my head.
I think it should have happened in 05/06 though.

They should give co-MVP's this season because if not someone is getting screwed big-time.

Re: ESPN Poll: Who's the best Player Kobe or LeBron
By the way, since it seems everyone has forgotten about Chris Paul, his stat line tonight was 23 points and 18 assists. Just another day at the office.

Re: ESPN Poll: Who's the best Player Kobe or LeBron
Naw, there has to be a winner.
Co-MVP's don't do it for me. Somebody always gets shafted regardless, this year shouldn't be any different
