This guy is starting to fill the void that I was dealing with after Michael Jordan stopped playing for the Bulls...his performance last night was spectacular....his clutch play was undeniably the best Ive seen since Jordan....his post game comments were of a man that should be much older than him.
Rose, Pierce, Kobe, Howard, shaq, Wade, Iverson, or all the others who play (or have played) at a level above the rest have never been able to stimulate the eye for me.
Lebron does that for me.
was nice to see Rivers and West and Ray Allen stay on the court and give sportsmanship the way they should..
[size=200]The rest just show they aren't out there to teach the youngens watching anything.[/size]

They must of learned that from the queen last year when he lost in the conference finals.

I don't consider him to be a Michael Jordan, I consider him to be more of a distributor and playmaker like Magic Johnson. He still has not won a title and I think their celebration last night was excessive considering that it was the conference semi-finals. That game would have been over in the first half if not for Dwayne Wade in the first half. I do half to say that the way that Wade and James are playing right now, that it will be hard to beat them. There have also been some Chris Bosh sightings which makes this team even more dangerous.

I think People are tuning into NBA basketball just to watch Lebron, I know I am having more fun watching the NBA because of Lebron....this is what I mean when I compare him to MJ...he's a marketing Icon by just being born, not by pushing the envelope.
I don't see Distributor Playmaker when I watch lebron, I see a powerhouse guard with extraordinary court presence and unbelievable rebounding sense.
His game isnt Jordan like...its Lebron like with the same outcome for the opponent.

I don't tune into NBA basketball to watch LeBron...I tune in to watch the Thunder (and occasionally the Thunder-pups).

He playes with way to much aggression from the beginning of his career, even Rose is way to serious to make a longevity career, but at least he hasnt made the four letter word his god like KG.

KG hater? Yeah he is intense and probably swears too much on the floor. But he is a grown man and can do what he wants. I highly doubt 4 letter words are his god. I know you are just saying that to make a point, but I think its a dumb argument. Great role model? No, probably not maybe when he was younger. Great player? Yes, although as he has gotten older he has lost a bit, but everyone does.

I actually have always had respect for KG, I fault the system for letting these young ball players go directly from High School to the pros, alot has changed since KG did it and became the highest paid NBA'er at the time...i think it set the tone for personal destruction even though he is a very good Ball player...I've always said when it comes to athletes and Music people and actors, "I may be a fan of there performances but I'm not sure I would like them in person".
Lebron has the best Professionalism on the court when it comes to starting at a very very young age...way better than Tiger, who is actually involved in a sport based on etiquette......KG would have been in the top 5 of all time in the NBA if he would have spent 2 years under lets say Dean Smith...John Wooden....and then moved on to a Jackson or a popivich and played under a Jordan or Magic.

1. Wilt Chaimberland (2x Champion, 7x scoring champion, 11x rebounding champion, 2x DPOY, Finals MVP, Averaged 30pts and 22rbs for his CAREER. Holds record for averaging 50pts and 25rbs for a SEASON.)
2. Kareem Abdul Jabbar (6x Champion, 19x All-Star, 6x MVP, 2x Finals MVP, #1 points leader all-time)
3. Bill Russell (11x Champion (8 consecutive), 5x MVP, would've been all-time block leader, but they weren't recorded.)
4. Michael Jordan (6x Champion, 6x Finals MVP, 5x MVP and DPOY, Avg. 30 pts for his career.)
5. Magic Johnson (5x Champion, 3x MVP (Consecutively), 3x Finals MVP, all-time leader in assists per game.)
6. Julius Erving (4x Champion, 4x MVP, 2x Finals MVP)
7. Kobe Bryant (5x Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 1x MVP, 2x Scoring Champion)

9. Tim Duncan (4x Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 2x MVP)
10. Larry Bird (3x Champion, 3x MVP (Consecutive), 2x Finals MVP)
In my humble opinion, THOSE are the top ten greatest players of all time. (Shout out to "Big O" and "The Dream", too.)

Tell me you aren't saying LeBron is better than all of those players. If so, then wow you are seriously out of your mind.
