LeBron James is Overrated

Yes, you read that right. I think LeBron James is overrated. I still think he is one of the top five players in the NBA, but to say he is as good as Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul is stretching it. Why do I think he is overrated? Well, for starters, his basketball skills only derive form his unnatural size. Like Dwight Howard, he has one of the most athletic frames I have ever seen, therefore it is very easy for him to take advantage of it and score. Kobe Bryant is not a huge player and cannot take advantage of the same athletic ability of LeBron James. Yet, he still is able to win MVPs and carry a team just like LeBron James. When I watch LeBron James, I am usually not impressed. I will admit he has a pretty good jump shot, but that only accounts for half of his "other worldly game."
