No but I will always make that comparison. And duncan really is a PF but does a nice job at 5 too.

yeah bynums a natural center and thats pretty rare nowadays, i think howard is a PF doin fine as a center too

See I have to disagree lol, howard looks like an Olympian to me I mean look how dude is built. He is a natural at filling up the paint as centers do.

I agree, and your making my point. You were criticizing Kobe for not for his three years with out shaq, and then said it took 2 great players to help him out. Now your saying they couldn't get anything done becasue they had no center.

Check my posts, I've never been on the Lebron train. Ever. I've grilled on him many times before. Here's my view on him, just to make myself clear. He was a $96mil overmarketed kid before he was ever drafted. That set the toll for his extreme OVERMARKETED name. He's called the king, yet has won nothing. If you want to call someone the king, start with MJ, or BILL RUSSELL. 11 rings in 13 years demands highness. He IS taken care of on the court. Yes, lots of players travel, carry, walk, but he gets the most leway. Basically, I'm just sick of seeing his unproven face all over everything that is basketball, when there are far more deserving players out there. When he proves himself, ......ha, there calling him out on his travels right now on PTI.......
...and the fact that the league makes him look better than he really is makes me want to puke...
I do think he gets the most leeway, I actually think Dwayne Wade carries the ball more, and gets as many calls if not more.

Before you heard me even speak lebron's name I gave mad props to MJ, Russel, Majic, and Byrd. Those are the all time greats I agree lebron hasn't accomplished what they have but he will one day. The guy is a straight beast sure there might be more deserving players...but my question is why isn't lebron deserving? Is it because you hate him so much because he is so good, or your just another Skip Bayless, just not on ESPN. Watch all 82 games in the season, night in night out who carries there team like lebron HAS to in the 4th, not because there team is faltering or maybe off that night, no, lebron does it because he wants to make the people around him better with his assists, and makes the plays happen like only one player I've ever watched and that is MJ. I have seen Kobe in the 4th win a game but actually DOMINATE and get he numbers lebron does in the 4th only compares to MJ. Beleive me MJ is my favorite player of all time and no one will ever touch him I dont care if they win 10 championships, only real winners want the ball in the 4th even if they do lose, come on man. Be real.

Why is he not deserving? BECAUSE HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING! Plain and simlpe! I am being real. Pot calling the kettle black..... Not to mention, people who refer to themselves in third person aren't worried about making others better, they're worried about themselves. "A Lebron James team's never desperate"......seriously.....Just like all other players and teams we've talked about on here......I'll give you credit when you show me those rings. And don't say he doesn't have people around him. He's got a ring holder in Wallace, veteran in Smith, Big Z, 3 point threats in Wally, West, Gibson.....he's got help....
