LeBron: 37-12-12. The Best Ever. Period.
Sorry to all Jordan lovers. LeBron James has surpassed Air Jordan. He is bigger. Faster. Rebounds better. Passes better. And now he nails the big midrange jumper.
LeBron’s clutch fade away on Delfino is a classic illustration of his improvement. While he’s doing that, he’s also dishing off to DJ and Devin. Not to mention blocked shots, steals and LeBron’s new tough demeanor.
LeBron is the prototype of the future great player, as Jim Brown was in 1965. Only he plays in the present. Players are helpless against him. I seriously believe he could score 50 a night if he wanted to.
I know all the the Bull’s trophies. Screw it. Mano a mano, LeBron is simply a better athlete than Jordan. And he is still improving. This year appears to be a quantum leap for him.
I know that we miss an extra big on the bench. I know our defense is weak. I know we’re running more. The amazing thing is that LeBron is using the faster tempo not only to score more, but to step up his defense. I wish the others would follow suit. For now, I will continue to eat leftovers, and savor another great performance by the best NBA player who has ever played the game. Moo.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 1:34 amWOW, first off let me start by saying, I always rooted against Jordan. I hated him. But, until LeBron or what I grew to know him as last year in the finals was ‘LeBrick’ wins at least half the championships Jordan won. Then we can start to compare. And YES winning championships does matter. The individual achievments on a random game in the beginning of a random season doesn’t really count. Jordan did NOT have great players around him. Pippen was slightly above average. The rest were just role players that I guess, Phil gets credit for, convinced them of thier roles. But, Jordan made them excell at thier roles. Jordan didn’t just score, but he was amazing and possibly one of the best at his position defensively. Maybe I’m being too hard on Lebron, because today’s players are harder to convince of their roles. Which in turn would make it harder for Lebron to win as many championships if even one at all. Maybe that game winner in Ehlo’s face has left a bitter taste in the mouth. And Lebron has given you a chance to cut down Jordans status. Honestly I feel Kobe is a better basketball player than Lebron is, but the media loves Lebron. and Kobe has that “LA” drama stuff lingering over his head. we all our own opinions this is mine. Go Browns!!!

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pmFirst off: its too early to compare him to Jordan plus he is’nt even the best in the nba right now lol…. that would be Koby Bryant you know the guy with 3 championships 2 nps mvps and several scoring titles, lets just slow down and see if james can do it over the long haul.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 1:26 pmKobe? Please. Hype machine. You think he plays defense like LeBron does now? Can he dish off? Can he rebound? Kobe is a huge scorer with a lower career shooting % than LeBron. Period.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 5:02 pmWahzoo and Dave are right….and Koby is the best right now….and Lebron has a LONG way to go to catch Jordan. Christ, even Tom Chambers had a good day every now and then…….scoring 60 vs. Seattle 3/24/90.
Get a grip Moo.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 6:57 pmKobe is not a team player i rather win with 12 assists then with 50 points a game, oh yeah remember when lebron was younger he hit for about 50 and we lost, think he has learned a little if you watched the last 5 minutes of the comeback today you would have seen a guy on the floor directing the players with info from coach brown and that was lebron.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 9:18 pmhell you know Kobe is pathetic, Lebron isnt the Best, Neither is Jordan, ill still say till my death bed, unless lebron has a stellar season, Magic Johnson is still the Best Basketball Player that ive ever seeen, Lebron is a one man team, thats why hes doing so good, if Lebron wasnt in cleveland, the Cavs would be dog shit, theyd be as bad as the timberwolves.

Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 10:21 pmLeBron can pass like Magic, is faster than Jordan, jumps higher than Kobe. How “magic” would Earvin have been dishing to Damon Jones and Larry Hughes instead of Cooper, Jabbar and Worthy? Case closed. Moo.
