The last time I've checked the objective
of basketball is WINNING. Carmello Anthony is most definitely a winner.
OK, OK, LeBron did win the state basketball tournament in Ohio. No
offense to LeBron, but that is like being the tallest midget, nobody cares.
He beat up on kids that were his age and younger. Meanwhile, in a world
where there is an actual challenge, Carmello took it to people that were up
to the ages of 21, and he is 18. In the national title game he went up against
Kansas, whose two best players were seniors and had been in the final four
before. He smoked them. That is a way bigger accomplishment then winning
a state title in basketball, Schaumburg won a state title, but none of those
kids are going to be all stars. Then you look at physical skills. Everyone has been jizzing over Lebron's size, he is 6'8, and Carmello is 6'8. LeBron can dunk, so can Carmello. They are virtually the same physically; accept LeBron is a little leaner and muscular. The last thing that people like to rave about is LeBron's court vision. It's pretty easy to pass the ball when people 8 inches shorter than you are guarding you. I would bet anyone that Carmello matches LeBron in assist their first couple of years in the league. The last thing you can look at is what type of person they are. LeBron is a punk who has been spoiled and dubbed the Jesus Christ of basketball. He has managed to get himself in trouble for A) getting the Hummer from his mom. Then B) taking those Jerseys for free. That was stupid and selfish of him. How is he going to handle the pressures of the NBA? Carmello is a model citizen and loved by everyone in the Syracuse community. The fans, coaches, and media alike were impressed by his skills on and off the court. The fact of the matter is that Carmello is equally as talented, more experienced, and a better citizen. What is there to like about LeBron? |
