lebron james place in history

I don't think he will, but he will be known as one of the 5 best players ever.  Jordan did it all, won 6 titles, Defensive player of the year, raised everybody's game.  Lebron has a ways to go defensively, and the NBA is about winning championships because a superstar has more of an impact then in baseball or football.  I don't see Lebron winning 6 titles, but it is still early. 

He has to stay healthy to do anything close to what mike did. I think he has as much Publicity as Mike did if not more now.  He does not have the rings to support his cause and not sure if he will get them if he stays in Cleveland. He needs to also be a defensive player of the year like mike was and be able to take a game over single handily ...right now he bu he just can't do it consitently. (that also has to do with his supporting cast Wally Zerbiak (SP) Ben Wallace are you kidding me?)

The cavs have no Pippen, Cartwright, Paxon, Bj Armstrong or Craig Hodges. Maybe a few more drafts or a free agency move to bring the other Ohio son home Michael Redd (what the heck does he see in Milwaukee?)

Here is the Key IF he really wants to replace Mike he needs to pay Craig Ehlo to come back and talk trash to get him hyped up and drop fifty to sixty a night in the playoffs to give him legend status such as Mike!

The Cavs have no Pippen, but Cartwright, Paxson, Armstrong, Hodges, etc., they have all that.  Those guys were just role players that looked better because of MJ.  Lebron is a very unselfish player, but he doesn't make the other players better yet like MJ did.  He'll learn to do that.  And also, Pippen was a project, Jordan pushed his ass every day to make him the player he became. 

Kobe does have three championships already and possibly a fourth post Shaq...he may be the face of the NBA but he also has some baggage as in labeled as a cry baby and some infedelity issues that Lebron does not have. Although in his defense his trade me or shaq may have worked out in his favor with him staying as the man in LA and Shaq struggling with Miami after his ring and now with Phx.

My thoughts are Lebron still has not been able to take over and just destroy like MJ could and would...where as Kobe can hit 50 a night it seems and take over a game at will. They both are great and I agree Lebron must win a few titles to be the face of the NBA.

The Cavs do NOT have a Scottie Pippin.  If they do where is this:

·  3x All-NBA First Team Selection (1994-1996) <o:p> </o:p>

·  2x All-NBA Second Team Selection (1992, 1997) <o:p> </o:p>

·  2x All-NBA Third Team Selection (1993, 1998) <o:p> </o:p>

·  8x NBA All-Defensive First Team Selection (1992-1999) <o:p> </o:p>

·  2x NBA All-Defensive Second Team Selection (1991, 2000) <o:p> </o:p>

·  7x NBA All-Star (1990, 1992-1997) <o:p> </o:p>

· 1x NBA All-Star Game MVP (1994)

The closest thing the Cavs have to a Pippin is Z, and he has robotic legs.  For you to lump Pippin in there with the rest of Jordan's supporting cast is a JOKE.  He was a true Robin to MJ's Batman.  LBJ hasn't had that player since he's been in the league.  Scottie Pippin would have been the best player on MANY other teams in the league while he was playing.
