One NBA player to start a franchise with

[titsrock]

I think LeBron can't shoot the basketball in crunch time and will earn more new nicknames..LeBrick, LeClank...

Or what happens if LeBron passes away from taking the game winning shot this playoffs...let's see what happens if "The King" wusses out of the big shot...that would be interesting to see.

As a Lakers fan, I'm going with Kobe. :thumbsup:

Duane Wade...now thats funny. All you have to do is bump him a little and he will go off the court crying like a little baby. Wheelchaired off the court for a shoulder injury...what a puss

 

[Will E Worm]

Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year

I think Elijah Johnson will be a decent player.

360 Elijah Johnson

Derrick Rose 36 pts

I picked Kobe. His skill aside, if you are trying to start a franchise, you need a big superstar, and no one is bigger than Kobe.

Yeah,LeBron's bigger and better.

I think it comes down to who makes their teammate better.While Kobe has come a long way from being that totally selfish player that he was,there is no way that he's better than LeBron in this regard.

Both of these guys have to prove that they can win championships on their own.Let's face it,Kobe wouldn't have gotten dick without Shaq,and last year is proof of that,especially since he got shut down by Paul Pierce in the finals.

Who's gonna stop LeBron besides LeBron,or the refs.We'll find out in the coming weeks I guess,and we'll see who gets the upper hand when Cleveland and the Lakers play in the finals.(it's almost like they might as well skip most of the playoffs until the conference finals,because you know damn well that there's almost no way that the league isn't going to make those two meet in the end)

LeBron gets away to the equivalent of murder on the court. The travels and phantom fouls he is sin free. But LeBron is just unbelievable, how can someone 6'8" 260 lbs. be the fastest, strongest, biggest dude on the floor. In my mind he has reached the level of Jordan in that where I will stop and sit to watch a Cavs game just to see LeBron. Last nights game, I think 4th quarter LeBron steals it, throws it up to Moe Williams and runs past him to receive and alley oop that was thrown a bit high. Jaw dropping he is. Surprised to see the best PG in the game not get a vote yet.

I voted for Lebron James. I heavily considered Dwight Howard though.

Like Kobe the best, but picked Lebron because he is younger.

Lebron has great leadership skills at his age.

I am a huge Lakers and Kobe fan, but I'd pick LeBron James because he is big, powerful, unselfish, and unstoppable. Kobe has games which he'd have a bad game but still kept shooting and doesn't distribute the balls around (like Game 3 vs Utah) so I don't like him when he's like that. LeBron knows how to get his players involved and he can score whenever he wants to. He's the most dominant player in the NBA right now.
