    I believe the next freak will be a power forward, and yes this could include blake griffin. If not him, another power forward.

    Blake griffin does not have a polished post game and neither does lebron, thats why I had to compare things like dribbling and passing.

    And as for vertical BG has a 35.5 inch vertical. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/blake-griffin-1268/

    lebron is definitely faster and jumps higher than blake

    Well lebron is still racking up assists and rebounds on the stacked heat, so that argument is out the window.

    Since you say we can't compare dribbling and passing, what qualities can we use to compare the two players?

    Lebron definitely jumps higher than 35.5 inches, there are many plays where his head is clearly at the rim. Even on BG's huge dunks his head is not quite as high as lebron's.

    And you know that lebron runs faster than griffin, come on.



    I hate on lebron as a person, but you have to acknowledge his physical gifts and court vision

    Ironically, Griffin shot 6-17 last night. Probably his worst game of the season

    With all the times he's been wrong about players before, can't you give him this one? Sure, it was obvious and he was one of MANY people saying the same thing, but he needs this win.

    If Shaq actually bothered to put some work in the gym like Jordan or Kobe, he would that that guy!
