if ur in the basketball mood watch those highlights because lebron was in a special zone that is rare to see. i was alsow atchin lebron rookie highlights from a late season game vs new jersey. the aggression and fluid nature of his game as a rookie was just absurd, u never see a rookie play like that with that type of confidence and skill

I still think his greatest game ever was that Boston game, especially considering the implications on his legacy if they had lost.
His second best game ever was that Pistons game. You know the one I'm talking about.
He was that good as a rookie because he's maybe the most gifted physical specimen alive. Is there anyone else on the planet that can come close in terms of pure speed, strength, and size? I feel pretty confident assuming that he's probably the fastest 6'8"+ man that has ever lived.

anyways, danny granger is gonna be a free agent.... maybe to san antonio????? could be a nice pickup for someone but it just seems like theres so few legit contenders this yr. heat and pacers, spurs and okc?? clippers too but what are they gonna do late in games with deandre jordan?? i feel like its real hard for them to score sometimes against good teams. houston i dunno yet, they seem uncertain with who should be playin at certain times
okc is gonna run the west for a really long time and i think they will always regret the harden deal..... still makes no sense on any level to me. but i have said for 2 yrs and will continue sayin that serge ibaka is probably the most under rated player in the league. hes developed a really silky jumper for his size.

Granger would be a solid leadership and outside shooting pickup for basically any team. I could even see the Heat looking at him, but I've heard rumors that they want Caron Butler instead, which would also be an excellent signing.
The NBA is definitely very obvious this year. There is absolutely no question in the East, it would be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport if the Pacers and Heat don't meet in the ECF.
The West is almost definitely already decided too. I think OKC is almost a lock for the WCF with how Durant is playing, and the Spurs are also very likely but I could see the Rockets or Clippers overthrowing them. No one else in the West has a chance imo.

hmmm i can agree with all of that.... i honesty think miami could like... 6 peat.... that might be a stretch but i mean i wouldnt be shocked, its just a matter of keepin their fire lit over the next few yrs. even as wade fades to the sunset, lebron and bosh with a new crop of shooters around them is plenty for a championship... and who knows but oden is lookin really good considerin the time he took off and hes still really young all things considered
anthony davis is an absolute stud. i am interested to see how his body changes over the yrs cause he still doesnt look like hes grown into his shoulders?? but hes a freak of nature and has a ton of skill at that size and length. hes gonna be one of the few big who can take you inside and outside and protect the rim, maybe the only guy left soon.
im gonan add julius randle into the bust list with smart. i can just see them both bustin

Another upcoming rookie that could be solid but not great is Noah Vonleh. I know he goes to my school, but he's an excellent rebounder and is averaging almost 10 a game with only 26 minutes which is pretty great. I could see him being a Kenneth Faried type of guy because Vonleh's not that tall, so not a star but a solid contributor.
