ok, the cavs have always hated michael jordan, but now they have someone that could be like him, anybody agree? i am possibly one of the biggest mj fans ever, and hate when people compare people like kobe to him, but do u think lebron could become jordan? this guy is just like him, hes got this insane ability to rise up to the occasion this year in the playoffs, (he has had some breakdowns but still, hes what? 22?) but anyway, this guy makes people around him better, he just has that switch of, should i takeover now? type of thing u know, im not saying hes there, or for sure hes gonna be, but do u think its possible he could become that?

I look around the league's roster and see only one player that looks to have the chance of becoming as good as Jordan was. Lebron James. There are other guys that play very well such as Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade but no one looks to have the capability to rise like James has. If the Cavs' management can keep a solid team around him his entire career then he should go n to win five titles or so. Things look grim for him this year to win a ring but the experience will be invaluable. Also, a loss in the Finals would give him a hunger throughout his career that few are lucky enough to acquire. Be ready to see many years of Lebron James crushing teams in the playoffs.

I don't think the Cavs "hated" Michael Jordan, What gave you that idea? He was a rival when he played against them when he was with Chicago. But I never heard of any Cleveland players having any personal animosity against him. They probably had a lot of professional respect for him.
As far as James being another Jordan, Lebronn may equal or even exceed Jordan IMO. He's only 22 and look at him!

My husband is a HUGE M.J. fan and also a big fan of Lebron. He said that tonight was one of the most exciting games he has ever watched. He is 30 years old and grew up watching Michael (not to mention the mounds of videos we have of him playing) and he says that his stats are looking better than Michaels in the beginning and as good as his mid-career.

LeBron is my favorite player. He has been since his second year in the NBA. I wouldn't compare him to Michael Jordan just yet, he's way too young and unexperienced.
But, anything is possible.

Of course the guy couldn't miss tonight and this guys slam dunks. I am personaly a pistons fan but this guy can drive and gets fouled or makes it no problem and though he isn't known for it he can easily make the threes.

Lebron is just a huge ball hog.
