    LeBron James.

    I understand the guy is well rounded on a stat sheet but people take it too far when rating him. Some act like he's the "undisputed" best player on the planet when there are other players that have cases. People act like he's perfect and ignore his weaknesses yet other players get critisized for theirs. He is an inconsistent shooter, has no fundamentals, no foot work, off the ball movement, post game, and when the stakes are the highest he usually underperforms. He's been in two finals and has been a disaster in both. And despite all this he STILL gets compared to MJ and people let his finals performance slide when other players play bad, they get critisized for it. I see a lot of "Oh one finals doesn't mean anything, he's still the best." It's been more than one finals, 2007 finals, 2011 finals, 2009 ECF game 6, 2010 vs Celtics, and other huge moments where he shrunk under pressure. So the GOAT claims don't make sense to me. How much can people let him get away with before they critisize him like they do other players? He isn't perfect.

    KOBE BRYANT EASILY. This guy was All- NBA First Team last season in front of DWYANE WADE who deserved it way more. He was also First Team All-Defense. thats just sad Dwyane Wade, Tony Allen, Shane Battier, Thabo Sefolosha, Loul Deng, and Ronnie Brewer were all more consistent defenders. Kobe let Chris Paul blow by him everytime in the Playoffs, hes not quick enough to guard faster guards. This guy gets compared to Michael Jordan like noone else, they say hes clutch like MJ, has a killer instinct like MJ etc... But truth is that Kobe has never been able to lead a team out of the First Round without a stacked team around him. Kobe isn't even that clutch in the playoffs. Name some Kobe game-winners for me besides the Suns one? Also Kobe has played terrible every Finals apperance excluding 2002 and 2009. Even in 2010 when he won Finals MVP he shot 40% for the series and had the worst shooting % for a Finals MVP in NBA History. His teams always make up for his blunders.

  • Amare Stoudemire. You got a big man who doesn't rebound, can't guard a lamp post, isn't a playmaker, and doesn't make his teammates better. And if the Knicks pull off a deal for Dwight Howard or Chris Paul, he'll instantly become the third-best player on his own team. For $99.7 million.

    This is a tough question... I would have to say Chris Bosh.. He has failed to deliver TIME AND TIME AGAIN!!! Lebron is the runner up.. If he does not get a ring in the next 3 years... He will be the biggest bust of ALL TIME..... Now when people say Kobe!!! That is insane.. He has consistently delivered and and has rings to prove it...
