What you're either missing or purposely ignoring is no one denies he's ONE of the best players in the league. He obviously is. It's the title of Best in the World people dispute. When you defer to your teammates during crunchtime to make the plays to win, I don't see how you can be considered best in the world.

Jordan didn't and Kobe doesn't. Lebron does.

dishing assists is NOT deferring to your teammates... it's creating plays. and if you do have a teammate who is as good as Wade, and said teammate is playing hot, why the heck would you not want the ball in his hands? The object is to win the game, not get a stamp of approval from the media and dahoss and ateam.

and what about the games that James has taken over in "crunchtime" and won throughout this years playoffs? You guys are cherry-picking your arguement off three games in the Finals, and even one where LeBron created the game winning play. Are you really not supposed to dish it to Bosh when he has a wide open look? it's a basketball TEAM for a reason. you're trying to say that a mans ego is more important than winning a game. Plus, you can "close out games" defensively, not just on offense.

I dont care about the whole "he's the single best player in the world". It's impossible to know and completely subjective. He might be the most talented basketball player in the world. But guys like Wade, Durant, Paul, Dirk, (Kobe before this year) etc are all amazing players, any day you could say either one of them is the best player in the world. Shoot, when Dwight Howard is on his game, he's basically unstoppable.

and it was completely tongue in cheek. I follow football, golf, and baseball very closely.. basketball not as closely but I played the damn sport for over 10 years and have played in hundreds of basketball games. If you dont think I know the difference between a closer in baseball and what you guys are refering to, I cant help you.
