Ridiculous...

I was going to write this post about how the sports media has become tiresome with their coverage of the NBA's two brightest stars, Lebron and Kobe.
Everyone seemingly agrees that Lebron is more physically gifted than Kobe and that Kobe is a far better game closer than Lebron.
Conversely, it seems to be conventional wisdon that Kobe is a bit of a ball hog and that Lebron frequently passes up the clutch shot to include his team mates.
I had prepared a statement regarding the genius of Lebron's decision-making paradigm, and I was ready to say that his pass-first mentality would eventually pay off.
Yes, I was already on the James gang's bandwagon, but I didn't expect Lebron to answer for himself this soon.
A mere two days after the King was "too unselfish"....
I'm going to pause right here to highlight how ludicrous the notion that anyone could suggest a professional athlete is too unselfish actually is.
Let this simmer for a second.
"Yeah, the nerve of Lebron James. It's like he understands the meaning of the word 'team' or something. He actually trusts his team mates to take the final shot of the game. What a loser."
I rest my case.
Un-Pause.
A mere two days after the King was "too unselfish" to take an off-balance shot over passing to an open team mate, James addressed the only two counterpoints anyone has ever had against his otherwise flawless game.
His jump shot is shaky.
He would prefer to not take the final shot.
With exactly one second remaining on the clock, the GREATEST PLAYER IN THE GAME hit a three-point jumper without flinching and with no backboard or rim needed.
Check and check.
Many have speculated that these playoffs could be when Bron-Bron takes his place as the next Jordan, but Jordan and I would both disagree.
A direct quote from His Airness:
"Do it your own way, and see where it goes. It might not hit the way you want it to. You may not make as much money as you want to. But there's value in remaining true to yourself."
Lebron makes plenty of money, but the point remains clear.
Both Jordan and James are the best of their time.
Nobody who touched the court while Jordan was playing was as good as Jordan.
That includes Kobe, who can not lead a team of second-tier players to six rings.
Nobody who is on the court right now is as good as Lebron.
That includes Kobe, who isn't big enough or nice enough to win or lose the way Lebron does.
Basically, Lebron is ridiculous.
