		<description>You&#039;ve never seen a player disrespected as much as Lebron?

Gimme a break...what a joke man. Evidently you don&#039;t listen to the commentators on EVERY Cavs game.  They blow their loads every time he does something minuscule, like split a double team...something 5 people do 20 times a game.  Reggie Miller literally sat there in awe when Lebron split the Hawks double team.  You&#039;ve also evidently you&#039;ve missed Sportscenter every time they cover the Cavs.

Sportscenter has been undermining Kobe for years.  When he scored 81, they actually had people come on and legitimately state that Kobe was &quot;just running up the score&quot; and &quot;showing off.&quot;  The guy scored 81 and they found something negative to say about him.  EIGHTY ONE...EIGHTY FREAKING ONE.  And he still caught flack for it.  He scored 65 in three quarters.  He scored 50 points in four straight games.  And all people would say is that he&#039;s a ballhog, as if anybody who had the ball as much as him would put up scores and consistency like that.

Lebron actually had people coming on and legitimately stating he should get Defensive Player of the Year along with his MVP.  And the guy can&#039;t keep his own man in front of him to save his life.  He gets help side blocks and run down blocks so they say he should get the Def. Player award.  Talk about overhyping a dude... -.-  And yet Kobe gets two straight up blocks on Yao twice out of three possessions and nobody says a thing about it.  Kobe has been getting the same kinds of blocks as Lebron for years, and nobody said a thing about it. And Kobe actually plays his man and keeps him in front of him.

Many fans of the NBA often show disdain for Lebron cause everybody else is on his balls and have been saying he&#039;s better than Jordan since before he was even drafted.  The guy has zero rings and really hasn&#039;t done anything significant (the stats are good, but they&#039;re just numbers in the end).  He&#039;s overhyped by everything related to the NBA, because they KNOW he&#039;s the future of the NBA and he&#039;s the future that will bring the money in to pad their pockets.

Disrespect?  Lebron doesn&#039;t know the meaning of the word disrespect -.-  He probably never will.  He hasn&#039;t had a challenging interview or criticism from sports shows since he came in the scene.</description>

		<description>So much analysis given to this topic.  What exactly is the point?  Since this is coming from &quot;Respect Kobe&quot; I&#039;m assuming it&#039;s to point out that Kobe Bryant&#039;s superior mid-range shooting makes him a better player than LeBron James under the premise that great defensives don&#039;t allow forays to the rim?  Fine.  Then here&#039;s my counter.

With the squad the Cavs had, the game was mucked up beyond belief.  The shooting percentages of both Boston and Cleveland were much lower than the percentages in the Boston/LA series.  Let&#039;s be honest, there were no 131 point explosions in the battle of the East Titans.  Shooting percentages were just really low.  I think I already posted on this before.

Anyway, it doesn&#039;t matter what LeBron does anyway.  Had he shot 96% against Boston then we wouldn&#039;t be talking about this, but because there actually is an area of statistics that indicates Kobe is more skilled in the shooting realm, the blogosphere will go to great lengths to highlight this fact.

There should be a &quot;respect LeBron&quot; website because I fear he needs it more than Kobe these days.  I&#039;ve never seen a superstar get less respect than LeBron.</description>
