I hated Jordan growing up but he's the most clutch athlete I've ever seen IMO.

And he won two without him, Dwade won two, the 2nd riding Lebrons coattails. No one compares to Jordan, or ever will. The same way in golf when we heard Rory was the next Tiger, yeah right. When all is said and done Lebron will be in a class by himself, just like Jordan is.

10 years from now we'll be talking about the next Lebron.

Doubtful, no way Lebron is going to be able to hold up to the 8 titles promised. They almost got knocked out by the Celtics this year, the Thunder are still growing, and the Bulls will be back next year.

We shall see. Injuries in particular are a fickle, fickle thing.

Let's see him cement his legacy alongside the likes of the 3-4 championship guys before we get him onto Jordan's level.

He currently needs another season like this, and then two more like that before I put him up that high. Not saying it can't happen but it's no given.

We shall see, the NBA is sorta in flux right now with a changing of the guard so to speak and of course the rash of Bulls injuries this year.

The Heat also beat the Celts largely without Bosh but we all know a healthy Bulls squad would have given the Heat at least a good fight even with Bosh there.

There are still some huge wildcards out there. What is a team makes a hugely lopsided trade like the Garnett trade of years past and suddenly OKC has Kevin Love or Dwight etc? Anything can happen.

I think Stern, ESPN, Nike, etc... will do whatever it takes to break up OKC. Someone will offer Durant $100 million in incentive clauses contingant on him being in NYC or LA or another major market. They stewed the entire time the Spurs were winning titles and they don't want a repeat of that.

Had LeBron wanted to remain with the Cavs I'm still convinced that Stern would have forbidden it and I still think Stern is P.O'd that the Heat ended up with LeBron and Bosh and not the Knicks.
