Sportswriter, Peter Emerick in his article, “Lebron James’ 4 NBA MVPs as It Compares to Michael Jordan & Other 4- Time MVPs”, notes that Lebron is comparable to NBA legends and Hall of Famers. He supports his claim by first listing the MVP season stats for Lebron James. Then he compares the stats Lebron James put up against Hall of Famers like Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Lastly, he states that the similarities and differences of Lebron and Jordan and how their pros and cons even out. Emerick’s purpose is to prove that Lebron James is as good as the legends in order to have people realize Lebron’s greatness. He develops a neutral tone for basketball fans and Lebron
Not only is LeBron a tremendous athlete his locker room presence is important. He knew what the city of Cleveland wanted and he understood the pressure. James is also a veteran and has been through it before. Peyton Manning led the Broncos
Curry has also had some accomplishments that Westbrook does not have or just do not have as many as Curry. For example, Curry has more season MVPS, All-NBA First Team appearances, and he was once the steals
AJ Stephens Ms. Ward Integrated science 1 TTH 1st February 9, 2017 Jimmy Butlers life and career as an NBA all star What does Americans know about the NBA all star Jimmy Butler? At the early age of 13 his mother said “ I don’t like you leave” and kicked him out for good. This research paper is about Jimmy Butler’s early life, his NBA awards, and his NBA career.

The first award we will look at is the R.O.Y award. Each player only had one year to get this award, and “Jordan was the one to get the rookie of the year” (Kobe Bryant vs. Michael Jordan Comparison). Next, is the MVP award, “Kobe was the MVP one year, while Jordan was the MVP five years” (Kobe Bryant vs. Michael Jordan Comparison). This shows us that Jordan was dominating the league, while other players were just as dominate as Kobe was. Finally, we will look at NBA championships and Finals MVP’s.
“The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy” by Bill Simmons, was a book only the Sports Guy could write. Save a few hundred pages for Simmons to inform the readers on how he became the basketball and Celtics fan he is today (hint: it was his dad choosing between a motorcycle and season tickets to the Celtics), why as a child he called himself Jabaal Abdul-Simmons, footnotes galore, his hatred for Isiah Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain, and many of the greatest “What-if’s” in basketball history. Other than that, Bill Simmons uses this behemoth of a book to indulge on what he has thought to be “The Secret” of basketball and winning championships, and gives his take on how the NBA Hall of Fame should be constructed. In a pyramid style ranking with five levels Bill Simmons has who he thinks should be where, as of 2009, and each level getting smaller and smaller due to the higher standard. It all ends with the 12 best of all time, sitting atop the pyramid like kings with Michael Jordan number one.
WOW! I said as i looked at Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlin’s stats. They are two of the best players to step on an NBA court. Wilt used to have the most 3 pointsers in an NBA season. Michael has only 1,000 points more points than Wilt.
The Ethos of Egos Michael Jordan, has scored more points (5,987) in the playoffs than any other player in the history of the NBA. There are many facts and statistics that one could site in regard to basketball, but I believe that this one is the most important. The playoffs are when it counts. A team could win every single game in the regular season, but if they slip up even a little in the playoffs, all those regular season wins become obsolete. That is why Michael Jordan being the all-time leading scorer in the playoffs marks him as the best player to ever play the game.
Influential people are the ones who are willing to work the hardest and motivate others to accomplish the things they didn 't think possible. Kyrie Irving has inspired many people by the way he plays on the court and also how he helps people off the court. Kyrie says "Work hard,stay focused and understand that nothing worth achieving comes easy". Thus one of the reasons why people are inspired by him on the court. "No alram clock needed my passion wakes me up" This is a coinsedental quote that shows his passion for basketball .He has also shown his passion for helping people by going to Africa.he went to South africa on a trip with uniceff and was helping the kids with physical education activities back in 2012.However he also helped them
These reasons listed all show how Michael Jordan is the best player of all time and Lebron is not. There are many reasons why Lebron can not be the better than Michael Jordan was. One of the reasons why Lebron can not be said to be better than Jordan is because of how many championships Michael has won compared to Lebron. Michael Jordan played in the NBA for fifteen years, made it to the finals six out of those fifteen years and won every time. While Lebron is in his thirteenth year in the NBA, made it to the finals seven times, and won three out of those seven times.
He won MVP while he was on the Heat and led them to championships. Lebron and Wade made one of the best duos in NBA history. Shaq was also one of the best on the
First, I will be comparing two players. The first is modern Kobe Bryant. The second is Michael Jordan from 1990-2000. Michael Jordan was considered the greatest of all time.
When people think of basketball they may think Michael Jordan, Kobe bryant, Lebron James, some of the greatest athletes to ever play the game of basketball. There has always been a debate about who is the better player Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. In my opinion Jordan is the greatest basketball player to ever play with Kobe in a close second. There are a lot of differences and similarities in the way they play the game.
Kobe Bryant was able to win 5 and Michael Jordan won 6. This puts MJ ahead in the winning category because championships are what you strive for especially since MJ played for less years. Most players would be satisfied with winning one, but winning wasn’t enough for them. Their cutthroat mentality and desire to be the best escalated them to becoming two of the greatest players ever. What’s outstanding is how they both played in different generations and played almost exactly the same and both of them were not able to be stopped,
In 2011, Kyrie was drafted number one overall by the Cavaliers and also won the Rookie of the year while Curry didn’t. In 2014 both Kyrie and Curry was on the U.S. basketball team for the FIBA World Cup. U.S. of course won so they are both FIBA gold medalist but Kyrie won the FIBA MVP award, meaning that he played better than Curry during the World Cup. Kyrie also won Male Athlete of the Year during the same year. In 2016, Kyrie was fully healed and was able to ball his heart out and finally he has won a championship.
The love this world has for sports is something people have never seen before. So many people would die to play the game they love, but why not talk about it or entertain them while the game is being played? A sports broadcaster or sportscaster is a professional who reports on many athletic events on radio or television. In the field, there are different types of broadcasting. Sportscasters who specialize in running commentary can be one of those types, and the majority of sporting events will feature both of them.
