First off please don't think i'm talking about LaBron being over-rated from a talent standpoint. He is the second/third  best player in the league right now, what my gripe is all the accolades being thrown his way and he really hasn't done anything. Yes he is the youngest to do this and the youngest to do that but what hardware does he have to show for that? Wade already has a ring.

I did a little research and Labron numbers, victories and finals apperances in his first 5 seasons are right in line with A.I. yet nobody has ever called A.I. the best in the game, or at such a young age was he ever considered to already be one of the greatest of all-time.

I don't like or dislike LaBron. I hope he does win one. I just think the term "KING" James is a little for overzboard someone who has been to the top yet. Hopefully "PRINCE" James can get past the Celtics.

With all due respect, you are by and far plain stupid.  Just read your post again and comment on how completely dumb that all sounds.

I'll be waiting to here back from you.  For the record, Karl Malone never won anything but was considered one of the best in the game.  Lebron would dunk him throught hoop.

Last time I checked, basketball was team sport:

MJ (Truly the best player ever) always had a supporting cast: Pippen, Horace Grant, Rodman, etc.

Kobe (Arguably the best player in the game now) won all of his championships w/ Shaq and may win one this year w/ the help of Gausol and Bynam.

Tim Duncan has never done it alone either he's had the Admiral, Ginobili, and Tony Parker.

Yes Lebron is a Superstar/Great player, but until he has a supporting cast, the Cavs will only be really good and not great.....I'm sure Danny Ferry knows this.

It's like Batman w/out Robin......Kool-Aid no sugar, bread no butter, and ham no burger!!!!

The series against the Celts is going to be a great one and unless the Celtics can win a couple on the road, I do not see them beating the Cavs.

True, but MJ pushed those players and made those players better, like Kobe has done this season.  Pippen didn't come into the league a superstar, Jordan helped make him a superstar. 

Kobe hasn't won a title without Shaq, but he won 3 of them with him, and that's impressive.  He may win another one this year without Shaq.  Bynum isn't coming back this season, so he won't help.  You can all point to Gasol, but that's kind of funny, considering that I don't think he's ever even been to the playoffs.

Karl Malone wasn't being billed as one of the 50 greatest players 3 years into his career. Neither was Jordan, or Magic, or Bird.

As far as sprock99 goes. For someone fram a place(ohio) where all the school buses are short, i would be slow to call someone stupid.

Actually Magic, Bird, and Jordan all were.  Jordan averaged 37 a game in his 2nd full season.  Malone maybe not, but part of that might have to do with less media in that day and age.

And we're supposed to take you seriously after making a blanketed statement like this?

Okay.  Something tells me the picture on your avatar is appropriate.

Funny how the only thing anyone can ever throw in LBJ's face is the fact that he doesn't have a ring.  He's 23.  Tweeeeenty Three.  And last tim
e I checked, he isn't the Cavs GM.  The reason sprock was referring to your post as being stupid is that it is.  Overrated is the LAST thing LBJ is.  Here's why he's getting the APPROPRIATE accolades that he does:
