LeBron James : He’s good at basketball

LeBron1.jpg
This kid is on his way to becoming an all-time great. And I think, barring injuries and if he gets a few championships under his belt, he will be perhaps THE best of all-time. (Sorry, Michael.) But my arguments for that are reserved for another post.

LeBron’s acrobatic-tight-rope-walking-of-the-baseline for a lay-up at the end of overtime (did anyone else notice he had four guys defending him when he layed it in?) sealed up a 121-120 win for the Cavs, putting them up 3-2 in the series over the Wizards.

Steve Nash may have been the MVP and Kobe Bryant may have scored 81 points, but in my opinion, there is no one in the league more exciting and entertaining to watch on a nightly basis than King James.

We are all witnesses.

    Better than Michael? I rue the day I spent good money taking you to see M.J. Put the beer down Hoosier boy. When James can count to six (as in championships) we will talk. By then you’ll have misinformed rug rats of your own.

    Better than Jordan? What pipe are you smoking? James may be as good as Jordan offensively…but Jordan is leagues beyond James defensively. Jordan led the league in steals nearly every year. James can’t do that…even when he’s guarding Antawn Jamison.

    Yeah cut that out. He’s not in the same chapter as Jordan right now. He’s not even in the same book. Steve Kurr even said during the broadcast that the Cavs looked like the Bulls of the late 80’s, when everyone just stood around and watched Jordan dominate. And those four defenders he beat were from the Wizards. You could find four Asian guys at the SRSC who play defense better than them.

    Just for duplicity’s sake:

    “… I think all he’s saying is Bron could be Jordan given the right teams around him, the right management and the Zen master at coach. I don’t think that’s so absurd to think. Sure, the sentimentalists will say ‘no one will be as good as Jordan,’ and the hopefuls will say ‘Bron is the next Jordan!’ It doesn’t really matter what we predict though. His career should be fun to watch and comment on for years and years. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get to see the special combination of circumstances that aided Jordan’s fame appear on the LeBron side of Indiana.”
