They both seem like NICE players in a league with thugs and jerks.
Michael and Magic were also nice.
I dislike BB players as a whole because they are deviants.
Latrell Spreewell and Alan Iverson are unfortunately more the norm.
Hope it changes soon.

Let me start off by saying, that I think Dwayne Wade is the next Dwayne Wade and Lebron James is the next Lebron James. There going to be greats because of what they do and not who they remind people of. Personally, I think it's unfair for games so good to constantly be in the shadow of another person's name. I especially feel it's unfair that people believe these players can not be better than there predecessors. I disagree with the notion that Jordan is the greatest player in the game because he simply not. Outside for being one of the most exciting players to grace the game, he has done nothing that stand's out compared to other players that have had similar accomplishments. Jordan's claim to fame was points and he does not lead the league's all time list in points. His 30ppg is however the best stat in league history but is tied with Wilt Chamberlain. The difference is that Chamberlain was much more effective at shooting the ball (54 FG%) than Jordan (47.9 FG%), so who would you deem as being the better scorer? In terms of MVP'S and rings both Kareem (6 and 6) and Bill Russell (5 and 11) have more. In short, I think we already have someone that is basically as good Mike and his name is Kobe. So far, the only thing Kobe has over a Wade and James is the experience of playing in the league so I do believe that either Wade or James could eventually trump both Magic and Jordan eventually. This is another good reason why I don't believe either of them is the next anything because they are quickly becoming the standard.

Jordan was dangerous from all over the court, Wade isn't as good as Jordon was both offensively and defensively. He'll be good, but not Jordan good. And James isn't at the level Johnson was. He can't run the point at anywhere the level Magic did, and he doesn't have the all-around skills Magic had. The day LeBron James starts an NBA finals game by jumping center, then proceding to effectively play all 5 positions throught that game, then you can start making legit coparisons between him and Magic.

I'd compare Lebron to MJ just based on all of his stats so far. They have a lot more common in their game than you'd think.
