LeBron doesn't have to convince us via marketing he is the best ever. He isn't trying to be Michael Jordan, he is trying to be LeBron James. It doesn't matter what numbers he puts up or how many rings he wins, there will always be a large number of basketball fans who will consider Jordan the greatest NO MATTER WHAT. And I understand it, Jordan is the definition of champion and competitor. No athlete has ever had the determination and will power MJ had.

Everyone just piles on LBJ since The Decision. He is going to go out this year with a huge chip on his shoulder, with a me VS the world mentality, and he is going to dominate. I really believe the Heat could put Jordan's Bulls record of wins in a season in serious jeopardy. A lot of people dislike LeBron, but they shouldn't under rate him. He is the best player the world has seen in a long time, maybe ever (Kobe is great too).

i edited the tweet. i can't type that word. and clearly, anyone calling him anything with a racist is clearly a ****ing racist, dude. i'd advise you to just dismiss that.

I dont know what you mean by this... Dismiss what? Some guy called him racist stuff, I agree on that so I don't know what you are trying to say.

I disagree about is defense, I think he's a top of the line guy. Not the best, but far from mediocre. Even if his footwork isn't perfect, he more than makes up for it with his freakish athletic ability and size. Not to mention his help defense and the ability to chase down guys on fast breaks. I've never seen a player cause so much fear in opponents by trailing them on a fast break. Cause we've all seen LeBron many a ball against the backboard from behind.

I DO think he lost confidence in his shot or shut it down VS Boston last year or something. It wasn't the same LeBron I had seen the rest of his career. He lost his aggresiveness completely. Anytime he wants to take over a game, he has the ability to. I wanted to see him go to the rim everytime because there is nobody in the league who can stop him if he really wants to go to the lane. But I think for the most part he is really candid and honest in post game interviews and press conferences. He doesn't dodge questions about the game and I think he's a smart dude.

The Cavs messed up royally. They were lucky enough to get the 1st pick of the draft and take LeBron years ago... Then didn't do ONE DAMN THING to put a solid team around him. They put all the pressure on him since the time he was 18 and he did a TON for that team, city, and fans. People forget, the Cavs were one of the worst teams EVER before LeBron, and in 2 years he made them a playoff team. He never won the title but the Cavs were always serious contenders the past few years, and it was 100% because of LeBron. The Cavs didn't even try to give LeBron his Scottie Pippen sidekick. Jordan's teams were great TEAMS. Cavs were a one man show. They had a chance to get Amare last year and they went the cheaper route and went for Jamison.
