DBAHO Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Round 1 was a draw. Melo had 14 points on 6-17 FG's, and 6 RBS. King James had 7 points on 3-11 FG's, 11 RBS, 7 AST, 2 STL, and 3 BLK's. James is gonna be an all round monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 The NBA is in a heaping s*** of trouble if they're banking on these two to save the league any time soon. They're just not ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I hate how people call a kid who has played like 4 professional games "King James". I feel he is overrated and time will tell if i'm right or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Let me preface this by saying I don't watch basketball at all (I know that rhymed, shut up) but this hype is really getting out of control. I mean Sportscenter was going nuts for LeBron in the first two games, but the TEAM lost both games. Apparenty ESPN was covering the Cleveland LeBron's. If I we're his teammates I'd be pissed.

I feel he is overrated and time will tell if i'm right or not. Chalk that one up to the media. LeBron IMO will be a really good player in this league, as will Carmelo. I think its good for the NBA that they finally gave younger fans a reason to watch their "product" again. I for one absolutely hate the NBA, but even I was interested in watching Carmelo play, moreso than LeBron. NBA is just a space filler between football and baseball IMO.

Could there be any more hype surrounding this guy (Lebron James) he didnt even crack double digits and people think he's the next Jordan. Wake me up when he actually scores some points please.

Wake me up when he actually scores some points please. I'm with you Nuke. This kid could be good but he hasn't shown me anything that crys out superstar yet. We will see.

whitesoxfan99 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I'm with you Nuke. This kid could be good but he hasn't shown me anything that crys out superstar yet. We will see. He's 18 and is averaging 15.3 points, over 8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. You guys are just waiting for him to fail that is all. He will be a superstar one day barring injury count on it.

SoxFanForever Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thats a great average, its also only a few games into the season. I will make my judgments after a larger sample of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I'm with you Nuke. This kid could be good but he hasn't shown me anything that crys out superstar yet. We will see. Compare him to ANY 18 year old in the history of the NBA, then you will understand what the hype is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Or, for those of you too lazy to pronounce two-syllable names...its just Bron v Melo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 The guy is going to be a star; plain and simple...Barring injury that is... There was never this much hype on someone this big...MJ,T-MAC,KG,AI,Kobe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
