So what do u think about Lebron James being younger than JJ Redick and Adam Morrison but still a lot bettter?

James is just that once in a generation player that comes along. Like Barry Sanders in football, Michael Jordan from the last generation of basketball. He's just a freak of nature and they are just good players.

LeBron does not suck in basketball! You may not like him as a person (although I am quite sure you don't know him personally).  However in his first two years LeBron is already statically in the same category as Micheal Jordon, Kobe, and Larry Bird. I mean he is one game away from leading his team to the conference finals on his first play off appearance. Is this a joke question? It must be.

LeBron has 20 years left, he will pass kobe in every statistical category. Kobe will never win another title, if he does he will be the second man (like the other 3 titles he won) and LeBron is only 21 and he is averagin numbers that havent been seen since bill russel and MJ! kobe just scores. LeBRon jame will win more titles, and be the best once he retires. and wats all this bullshit that lebron started younger?!?! kobe came out of highschool to u fags.

Maybe, maybe not...I just think Lebron has more to ijmprove on like his jump shot.for me it's still not perfect. You can't slash to the basket everytime so you got to have versatility in your game. Well for me Lebron will not put the same number in the era of Jordan. A lot of players that played that era have retired when Lebron came into the picture. He will be left out iof that happened...Not even enter the playoffs

A.) hes not a complete player yet. he needs to work on defense more.\nB.) He is not the best player in the league. Kobe Bryant. its the truth  and I HATE Kobe. \nBut with that said lebron james is 21 years old was in the top five in MVP voting and is on the verge of taking his team to the Eastern finals. He has met and exceeded all expectations the media and the sportcasters has thrown at him. and hes 21! hes has years to get so much better. their is no celling to his potential. thats why everyone likes him.

Yes, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are at par with Jordan's basketball - and a scary thought is that both have got many years of basketball ahead of them.

JJ Redick. First they both put up insane numbers but look at where the players play. JJ plays against some of the great players in NCAA basketball while Morrison plays against some of the worst competation in NCAA. Try putting Morrison on a team that plays a strenght of schedule like Duke. Then you have to look at how the players score. Morrison get most of his points of designated play specialized for him, such as a pick in roll play that gives morrison 3 options. In the NBA the team isnt going to revlove around Morrison and NBA teams have better defenders, coaches and defencive schemes that wont let Adam get his easy buckets. JJ on the other hand creates his own shoots off the dribble. JJ also has very long range which will help him adjust to the NBA's 3 point arc. The only concern I have with JJ is how he plays under pressure. This year we saw him break down at important times even though he does come in the clutch most of the time. I will give Morrison the edge on clutch and defence. If Morrison finds ways to score off the dribble better than he will become the better player but as of now JJ has the edge.

MVP trophies have been James' destiny since he entered the league, and by winning in his third year it's tough to say whether he would be ahead of schedule or not.\n\nIf James' first two years in the NBA could be criticized, the commentary was twofold: He had yet to lead his team to the playoffs and had struggled in "clutch" situations. James has shed both of those black marks over the past month and a half, leading Cleveland on a 15-5 tear since the start of March that has gained the Cavaliers title-contender status and put them in position to potentially win 50 games. Included in the stretch were two game-winning shots by James and a pair of game-winning shots he set up. Over the last 20 games, James is averaging 34.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists -- an MVP performance, to be sure.\n\nWhile the Cavaliers will assuredly win fewer games than any MVP's team since Michael Jordan's 50-win '87-88 Chicago Bulls squad, there are plenty of mitigating factors. Cleveland has a rookie coach on the sidelines, and only one team with just one All-Star (Dallas) has won more games than the Cavaliers. With all due respect to Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden, the Cleveland supporting cast can't compare with the deep, veteran group assembled by the Mavericks.\n\nAlso, the Cavaliers have been forced to play without free-agent signee Larry Hughes for 45 games, started unproductive Aleksandar Pavlovic 19 times and gotten sub-par work from their point guard duo of Eric Snow and Damon Jones. All three of Cleveland's major offseason acquisitions (Hughes, Jones and Donyell Marshall) have disappointed to some extent. Before this is ascribed to James' "not making his teammates better," consider that while Hughes and Jones have seen no significant effect playing next to James, Marshall's effective field goal percentage has skyrocketed from 39.4 percent to 50.4 percent when playing with James.\n\nTo really demonstrate how much James has boosted the play of his teammates, let us return to where we started, to plus-minus ratings. With James on the bench, the Cavaliers have been outscored by 10.6 points per 48 minutes this season. Only one NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers, has come close to that futility, getting outscored by 9.5 points per game this season.\n\nStill, Cleveland has earned home-court advantage in the East. It is a testament to James' performance, and it is why he is the league's MVP.

In response to Chess...LeBron isn't overrated. For some reason you think he is but that is completely wrong. As others have stated Motown was just too good of a team for the Cavs to beat. Once the Cavs get another decent player and they develop as a team the could be the equivelant to the early 90's Bulls.

i'd say lebron has the best chance to be the next jordan.  dont get me wrong, dwade is the man, but lebron is doing it by himself.  i think lebron is more of a showman than wade is, is younger, and to top it off there's no question that it's lebron's team, dwade has to share with shaq.

Kobe has skills so he seems better. But lebron doesn't take enough chances to prove himself!

Well, Lebron has not reached his prime yet.  When LJ reaches his prime, will he be as good as Jordan was in his prime?  Stay tuned!  If you're an NBA fan, you have to look forward to seeing him develop.  The other question(s):  will he have a player as good as Pippen, and a coach as good as Jackson to aid his development?  Not likely.\n\nBest player of all time?\nI subscribe to the view that Chamberlain was the most dominant force ever in the game.  Russell was the greatest winner.  But, I guess the greatest combination of individual talent and winning was Jordan.

LeBron, this kid is phenomenal. He's averaging 33 points a game, he's keeping his composure, keeping his teamates involved, not allowing himself to take the game into his own hands, he's aware that there's 4 other men on the court with him to get the job done. His awareness of his other teammates is great, it's like he's got a 3rd eye, he has that Jason Kidd thing going on without the alley-oops.\n\nKobe......still has some growing up to do now that he's on his own. He has to learn to trust his teammates when he can't get a good shot off. He has to learn that just because you're compared to Jordan, that doesn't mean you possess the same skills as him. Only Jordan has been able to take an entire team upon his back and deliver in nearly 75 games a season, Kobe must learn to help build up the players around him before he even think of doing it all on his own.

Adam Morrison. he has all around game. he is taller than j.j redick plus he beats j.j in every single major catagory except for assist (which is only by about .3 assists per game.) j.j may have a better long range shot, but he has no defense whatsoever. morrison has more 40 point games than j.j plus he can hit game winning shots. he is also a more consistant player than j.j redick. and he would make a better NBA player.

yep, he is only 21 and he's probably scored way more points that some of the old veterans. Someday he will be the best. he just needs to win something with the cavs.

Pistons556 you obviously dodn't know a lot about this Milicic. At the age of 17 Vlade Divac (If you dodn't know who he is ask) said he has great potential. He was picked 2nd after Lebron James but before Carmelo Anthony, Bosh, Wade and a lot of other good players. The problem was he got drafted to a team of future all stars that didn't need another good player. You may think he doesn't care but if at age 17 people start saying that you are the projected 2nd draft pick and 3 years later you only started 2 games in your entire 3 years of being in the NBA you would be discouraged too (im saying that he's discourage not that he doesn't care). And they didn't bench him because he didn't have any skill, it's because they had a team filled with veterans. To answer the question, he will be a great player probably one of the best but it will take time for him (years) to regain the confidence that the coaches took away from him.
