    before we all jump on the Lebron bandwagon lets remember his defense is horrible. Lacked effort ..

    however, he was amazing to watch and im glad the Suns lost the game im tired of them being on their high horse.

    - SNash lost that game with his last second turnover and missed FT's.

    After watching the Heat a couple of times this year, I would have to say that Dwayne Wade > Steve Francis.

    Ilgauskus is no slouch. I'm not sure whether or not LeBron has a better or worse supporting cast than Jordan in their second years, but LeBron doesn't have the worst.

    Z
    Snow
    Gooden
    Harris

    Are all decent players.

    If the Cavs management play things right next offseason, this could be a good team really quick. They're going to have a boatload of cap space next year, and can afford near-max money to someone even if they resign Z. But of course, they have to spend the money wisely.

    In my opinion, how Lebron will eventually be remembered will depend on the Cavs finding another star to complement him. If they continue to surround him with current talent, Lebron will eventually be just another T-Mac: great player, great stats, not a winner.

    Lebron is putting up jordan numbers in his first 5 games, and he is only 20 years old. He is doing better than yao in his first 5 games.

    Since everyone is afraid to say it I will go ahead and do all a favor:

    Lebron James is the best player in the NBA now - pound for pound. period.

    Before now, Kobe had this title but Lebron has surpassed him despite he is only a year and a half remove from his prom. I know this is debatable or arguable but I will take this opinion to bed with me tonight.

    after watching him last season the only thing i thought would ever hold lebron back was not being able to shoot. can't shoot, forget about being the greatest. now he seems to be able to shoot (at least when i watch, not sure what his fg% is right now). and that's scary.


    he won't improve the way kobe/tmac/kg did in their first 3 years b/c they improved so much just from their bodies developing whereas lebron's is already developed and huge, but if he adds a little to his game each year by the time he's kobe and tmac's age he could be ridiculous. amazing how young he is and playing like this. he'll shatter the first to 10,000 mark.

    lebron is unbelievable, he is so young and already so good. He is now te leading scorer in the nba, and how old is he?20 or something. I'm looking forward in seeing him play basketbal for the next 14 years or so:D

    There's a 220lb man in Minnesota that would dispute that claim.
