The Game of basketball is a team game, No ONE player can dominate and carry a team by himself. Not Michael Jordan, Not Lebron, Not Wade, No one. Great example... Wilt Chamberlain. The guy put up 100 pts in one game. The guy WAS the team, the fact that other members of that team are remembered is just because he made them that good. The guy was the best big man to ever play the game... BUT. Bill Russel and the Celtics got all the rings because they were the better team. For you to hold the 'no rings' against Lebron is not a valid argument. Besides... Hes only 23.
I could go on and print out a page full of things that Lebron has done by age 23 that MJ had not yet done. And that includes win MVP of the league. However im not here to argue he is better than MJ, im just saying he has the potential to be that good and he deserves the hype.
You know what happens to players who receive but dont deserve the hype? Ask Sebastian Telflair. They immediately fade away, the country moves on to the 'next big thing'. But Lebron is different, he has established himself as one of the best athletes in the world. The best player in the best basketball league in the world, by 23 years old.

i agree with u on everything except the age argument....i go by seasons ...lebron chose to come to the league straight from highschool...jordan played in unc....look at the things jordan did in his dirst 4 seasons...its rediculous he was the best overall player defensively and offensively...and that is what wade has become and hopefully bron will get there too defensively...btw i hope you agree with me that wade completely got snubbed getting all nba defensive second team instead of first...funny thing the second team defensively is better than the first team. that is why i dont pay attention to awards in the nba anymore it's all bias. you are right wade is a great athlete but bron is a monster....a power foward who is comfortable at any position and has a weight and height advantage over wade. for me wade is more clutch bron is a slightly better shooter.
all in all the nba is fun to watch right now....
