Watching the Cavs/Wizards series has been very, very entertaining.
Lebron has just shut DeShawn Stevenson right the down. I love it, and I don't even like the NBA all that much. |

Good call roberto, good to see you in here...Lebron is crazy good, he was engineered to play pro hoops. I wish Gilbert Arenas wasn't at the sub-par status right now, he's a great player when he's healthy and very clutch. A healthy Wizards roster would make this series more exciting to watch than the previous 2 years combined, especially with all the they are saying about each other via the media. |

Some teams are good in the season and suck in the playoffs
Lets name a few(Dallas, Suns)!!!
Hornets are the new team on the block! Read some articles about Byron Scott how Kidd was his maker in NJ. Well when or if Hornets win he will sleep happy that night. |

Yeah, it's just easy to watch that kid play basketball - I remember watching him play in the All American game in 2002 or 2003 and thinking then "Holy , how is this kid in high school?"
Easily the most sound player since Jordan, but that is coming from the mouth of someone who's only payed passing attention to the NBA for the past 5 years or so. |

After the last game, Gilbert said that playing against LeBron is like playing against a Michael Jordan that is four inches taller and forty pounds heavier... an impossibility. |

:stongue:
That's a good way to put it, the guy is just a ing beast and has so many years ahead of him. I remember back when people thought Grant Hill and even Anfernee Hardaway were the "next" Jordan. Lebron is simply way too versatile & explosive for most defenders to even touch. |

This is not overall i.e. bill russel, wilt blah blah I only chose people who I saw play live(tv :p)
Jordan > Kobe > Lebron > everyone else
Jordan and lebron have very similar games. They would own the whole game and destroy the 4th by being some what selffish but if they get the W whocares!
Kobe usally has a more overall helping out teammates stlyle but still has 4th quater magic. |

Not a knock against Kobe, but it should be mentioned that LeBron has never had a Shaq or Gasol or even an Odom as a teammate... much less a Phil Jackson as a coach... he's stuck with Larry "I Don't Play To Win" Hughes, Damon "No D, No J" Jones, and Anderson "Sideshow Bob" Varejao. |

thats why lebron is 3rd. Without Rings no matter how bad the team is I can't raise him any higher not saying duncan and all others don't deserve that stauts.
He was pretty close last year. Hopefully a few more before his career ends to have another chance |

| larry hughes is on the bulls now brotha, LeBron has Wally to dish to when (IF) he gets caught up drivin down the lane and ben wallace cleans up his mess when that rarity occurs. Lebron doesnt need a huge supporting cast, he does it all (e.g. Cavs vs. Pistons Eastern Conference Finals last year) |
