LeBron James Question

I'm not a basketball fan and never will be but the Heat have a home game whilst I'm in the States next month and I'm wondering whether it's worth going or not.

It all hinges on James really. Is this guy the sort of legendary athlete one should never pass up an opportunity to see in the flesh or is he not really a patch on the Michael Jordans and Magic Johnsons of this world who benefits from the hype of 24 hour media saturation?

He is the best player today by far but he will never be in Michael Jordan's league. You should go though.

I saw him play when he was in Cleveland, no he isn't must see.

Lebron is so much better now than when he was at Cleveland.

He is great, but he isn't a must see before you die type athlete. I'd rather go watch Peyton Manning or someone like that. There aren't as many players out there now but in the past you had guys like Nolan Ryan and Ken Griffey Jr in baseball. Peyton Manning, Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson, Jerry Rice in football. Really the only "must see" player basketball has had since MJ is probably Shaq in his prime.

Lebron is way better than AP.

that depends,

AP is a way better running back than James but i don't doubt james is far better than AP in the paint

Adrian Peterson has a chance to be the best to ever play his position. LeBron does not. It's not "AP" it's "AD" as in All Day. His nickname he had long before he ever turned pro.

Actually Lebron will be the best to ever play the SF position. Also I'd rather watch Lebron play than AP run. I'm sure many others agree.

I'd rather watch Peterson go for 200 yards and 3 TDs then watch LeBron go 50-15-12.

Peterson is good but put a few injured linemen and a good run defense into the situation and you might not get what you paid to see.

As much as I hate Lebron he does something pretty special every night.

That said he still shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan.

Lebron is must see if u are a basketball fan. If not then I'm sure you will live if u never see him up close.

Lebron did it again last night to Golden State! He showed again why he is the best player in the world!

He said he deserves to be on the NBA Mount Rushmore. I disagree.

I agree with you, no way does he belong there.

Guys come on he said when he is all done playing he will deserve to be on there and I agree with him personally.

No chance.

No chance?

I don't think he will deserve it.

I actually believe David Stern would deserve it more than Lebron.

Who would yours be?

David Stern? Over king James?

In no order-

David Stern
Michael Jordan
Bill Russell
One of Kareem, Magic or Bird

David Stern left a bigger impact on the NBA than Lebron.

Yes u are probably right but he was around for 30 years! In 50 years no one will remember David Stern but people will remember who lebron James was.
