Best Ever?
We live a special moment in sports nowadays and we don’t even realize.
On football, Payton Manning is getting to such a point that when he’s all set and done, he’ll probably be considered the best QB of all times if he gets another Super Bowl or not. His ability to read coverages perfectly, throw the ball as quick and as accurate as he does and be the robot he’s make him unique and almost perfect. His numbers are just ridiculous.
On basketball, LeBron James is the most unique athlete the game has even seen. He’s truck in form of a human being, nobody is sure of his measures. LeBron is almost perfect. James is almost unstoppable on his way to the basket, not only because of the rules but because he’s so quick and big. James can shoot from any spot of the floor, pass like a legit PG, play off the ball, has low post game and gets all sorts of friendly whistles.
I’m no LeBron fan but it’s idiotic not to understand how good and special he is. James hasn’t won a championship yet but everybody who understands the NBA a little bit knows that’s Danny Ferry’s fault. This summer LeBron has a decision to make between money, championship chances and business opportunities. The Cavs can offer him more money than anybody else, the Bulls can offer him the best team and the Knicks can offer him the capitol of the world and the chance to save basketball in NY.
Wherever James goes, his near future should consolidate him as one of the most dominant players of all time not only because of his talent but because his physicality should extend his best years. Don’t be surprised if LeBron turns 33, 34 and continues to run the floor like crazy and be the best athlete on the floor every night.
Manning is getting to such a point that in the end he’ll be considered the best ever even if he doesn’t win another ring. For James, the ring is the only thing missing for us to start absorbing the idea that he could be the best ever.
