The more I watch LeBron James, the more I'm starting to believe that this guy is the greatest player ever play the game of basketball. Growing up a huge Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, it pains me to write this, but I as great as Michael was I can't remember him ever being as dominant as LeBron is right now.
There is little doubt that Michael was much more clutch than LeBron currently is, but I don't think Michael could carry the bunch of shlubs that LeBron has the past 5 seasons. People forget that LeBron has already been to one NBA finals and that guy is only 24 years old.
If LeBron ever develops a consistent outside shot, there will be no stopping him. He is faster then most point guards, stronger than most power forwards and can jump higher than anyone on the planet. He doesn't play the defense that Michael did, but Jordan didn't become a great defender until a couple years in the league.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up when his contract is up with the Cavs. I think he'll end up in New York, but don't think for a second that he couldn't win 2 titles before he leaves. If Cleveland has a clue, they should do everything they can to pull off a major trade to give LeBron some help. Mo Williams was a nice addition, but the fact that Wally Szczerbiak gets any playing time, shows how little depth they have.
Ultimately it will come down to the number of NBA Championships LeBron wins over his career, that will determine his legacy. My guess....LeBron will have at least 6 rings before his career is over.
