Lebron James is a quite a good player, he's won MVP trophies that he deserved, and he has an amazing scoring ability. All that aside Lebron is not a king because kings have rings, and as far as i can tell there aren't any championship rings on Lebron's fingers.
After this year's finals Lebron "broke up" with the cavaliers on national TV to join Dwayne Wade's Heat. That's right they're Wade's heat not Lebrons. Lebron left cleveland because he couldnt win, then he joined Chris Bosh and Wade in Miami to play for the heat. Tarnished legacy alert!!!!! I'm wondering what those people, who compared Lebron to Jordan, are thinking now?
In my mind the title Prince James fits Lebron much better.

Canada's PG
As i have watched Steve Nash over the past couple of years I have come to realize a few things. He is not a top three point guard, and he has problems playing against other elite point guards.
If you don't believe me go watch any game when Nash plays against Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, or Derron Williams they outplay him. Another problem I have with Steve Nash is his MVP trophies. He didn't deserve them, the only reason that he won them is he was the most popular player in the league at that time. As soon as Nash wins a championship I'll believe that he is a superstar, but not until then.

There is an "I" in Vince
One of the most selfish guards of this past decade Vince Carter is well, how should I put this, a complete waste of talent. Over his entire career Vince couldn't defend anyone, seemed to put himself in front of his team, and acted like a baby anytime he was bumped or hit. The most important stat about Vince is that any team with him on the roster hasn't made it out of the second round. So what makes teams so eager to sign or trade for him? In this case it's his stats. His stats are impressive but his attitude is not.
The Clipper Effect
It is sad to realize that playing for the clippers can make fans forget about you. The Los Angeles Clippers have two under-rated players in Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman. These guys have quietly become one of the best at their respective positions. Both of them shoot over 40% and have a pretty good free throw shot.
So if these good, why are they overlooked? Because they play for the clippers. The clippers are the biggest joke of an NBA franchise ever. they have bad management, rarely pick the people they need in the draft, and are located in Los Angeles. Which is the home of the Lakers the best NBA franchise. In my opinion these guys need to play out their contracts and get the heck out of there so that we can appreciate what good players they are.

Tim Dunan: Mr. Consistency
Most people who follow bastketball dont realize it but Tim Duncan is the best player of the past ten years. Hes won 4 championships with guys who has been less than stellar. Throughout his career Tim Duncan has averaged a double double, which is probably the reason people dont notice him anymore. Usually when someone is amazing they are noticed, but if that person keeps doing amazing things they are usually forgotten; because they have been so good for so long. It's kind of funny that the reason he is sometimes forgotten because he has been consistently good for a really long time.
Brandon Jennings
Brandon Jennings point guard for the Milwaukee bucks is nowhere near as good as he is made to look.
Here's why. The average NBA player shoots at least 40% from the field, and Jennings shoots 37%. It's plain and simple, he takes to many ill advised shoots and more often than not he misses.
So the real question is if he shoots under average why is he considered an upcoming star? I have no idea, i don't see how one of the NBA's elite players can shoot under average. Someone at ESPN needs to look at his stats to realize that he is not a good basketball player.

John Wall
I cant understand why everyone is so excited about this guy. Even though hes an intelligent person and hes a nice guy, hes not a good point guard. Here me out on this.
The analysts on ESPN say that Wall has more upside that Derrick Rose and Chris Paul, but i have yet to see it. Throughout his whole college career and even now he has shown to have turnover problem. His average of 4 turnovers per game compared to 6 assists is atrocious. The worst part about this is that he is averaging these numbers against rookies and D-league players. So why is he looked at as if he is the next great point guard? Who knows but up to this point he has yet to show how good he can be.
