LeBron James the great Miami Heat player who DISSED the Cleveland Cavaliers in search of a ring is now saying “Rings Shouldn’t Matter”. Come on LeBron, when you left the Cavaliers you said it was because you wanted to win a NBA Championship and you wanted to get your ring. Now that one of the greatest NBA players comes out and picks Kobe over LeBron, you are making a statement that rings shouldn’t be a measure of greatness. Aren’t you being a Hypocrite? After all, it was LeBron who needed to get a ring so he could be measured as a great NBA player. Now that M.J. picked Kobe over James, he feels like he isn’t as great.

The team that LeBron leads is playing some great basketball. James is continuing to set new records on the floor and when it is all said and done he will be one of the grea...

You can make an argument that Lebron James, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant all could be rated the number one player of All-Time. If I was a betting man, Jordan would be the number one choice. The game in the Jordan era was different, more physical, lots of hand checking and harder fouls were allowed. Second for me would be Kobe. He has the work ethic of MJ and a drive of his...

They showed the 1988 MJ vs Dominique dunk contest directly after the 2000 Vinansity dunk contest. I have no doubt that these are the best two dunk contests ever. In 1988 Michael Jordan vs Dominique Wilkins was the most epic back and forth battle in slam dunk...
