But the great wing players....one of the many things making them great is their mental toughness and/or will to win.Maybe it's the same thing.I think that attribute is like physical talent;either it's already in you or it's not.

I don't think James has that.

First, I do not dislike you at all.

Second, I think that you are correct that this attribute is a big part of what makes some players good and some great, what makes some great and some hall of famers. I think James has it. I don't think he has it to the same extent as a Kobe Bryant or a Michael Jordan or Larry Bird or Magic Johnson though. He may not even have it to the extent of a lot of lesser players, Tony Allen or Maurice Williams, for example. But I don't think any of those players, or any player in the history of the league has the physical talents that he has. So it's a combination. Bird and Magic may have had ice water in the veins but they were limited in the things they could even attempt to do because of physical limitations whereas James may be scared but he's got so much ability that he's able to get things done. At the free-throw line though, none of the physical abilities or lack thereof matter. Maybe a difference between him and MJ is that MJ said to himself "I want the ball and I'm GOING to get it done" while LeBron says "I want the ball and I'm going to try and get it done."
