    He already admitted he's only 13 years old and has been watching the NBA for three years, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Yes. I agree Lebron will be top 10 in talent alone not only for the next 3 but the next 5-7 years.

    However...

    There is disturbing evidence that Lebron never wanted to be Jordan and that we, as a society, has labeled him something and forced him to be something his personality wasn't adapt to. In order to dominate, Lebron needs to DESIRE to dominate. We all figured he has the talent to, but what we never took into account was whether he was willing. Taking a paycut and joining Miami to hide behind Wade's shadow is now truly making sense about his real personality. I believe Lebron will go down in history as a tragic figure...someone who was cursed to have the gifts of Jordan but who had a personality of Pippen. No matter if Lebron ends up winning a couple of championships down his career, it will always be because Wade won it for him. Would we remember Jordan the same if he joined forces with Bird and Bird won championships for him? This is why Lebron fascinates the absolute hell out of me...he is probably the most interesting character in NBA history next to Kobe, Jordan and Tracy McGrady.

    Later, Lady Mama.
