C'mon guys fess up, Have you?
Personally, I'd say: NO WAY!!! He is a great player, but is he better than Wade??? Better than Carmelo??? Better than Kobe(don't hate me) Better than CP3??? Better than Durant??? Better than Pierce???
Now they're trying to sell you on Lebron being the greatest Basketball Player of all-time. Don't believe the hype. I'd take Wade over Lebron any day of the week.
I am not sure about the hype machine, but based on watching him play, he is the best player in the league right now, and he is still getting better.
I think what really sets him apart from some of those other guys is his defense. Kobe's defense has declined dramatically over the last few years, Wade was always good but not great, and Durant doesn't do defense.
I think you could argue that there are better scorers in the league, or better overall offensive players (although that is very debatable), but all-around, I find it hard to argue against Lebron as the best.
Now best all-time...I refuse to even broach that topic until he gets a post game.
