I have been an avid fan of Jordan eversince. I love his moves. Everything that he does I have always been fascinated. Lately I can't help but admire Lebron's moves. Now i think he can do better than Jordan if he won't get injured severely. I think he is stronger and faster.

I can't agree with you more. I think Lebron is going to be one of the most greatest players in NBA history. He made it to the NBA finals at such a young age and he is always practicing his skills to improve himself. He used to be weak in jump shoot and three-pointers but if you have watched the fanal of the FIBA Americas Championship you will know what a progress he has made in three-pointers. That is what a great player should do: work on his weakness until it becomes his strength.

I can't agree with you more. He is definitely the next Michael Jordan with a touch of Magic Johnson combined. :) The only thing Lebron James lacks is better team mates. In my opinion, his team needs a good center but not Z Ilgauskas, he is way too slow. Drew Gooden, needs to improve a whole lot.. And ow, his team needs a real point guard.. D. Gibson has a good future as that.. I just hope LeBron will have good teammates to work with and to complement his ala MJ and Magic talents. ",)

Hello conrada1923, I agree with you Lebron James is a young and a very good basketball player. He's a very good all around player and continues to improve on his game. Given more time and experienced plus championship titles he may attained the level that Michael Jordan did as an NBA superstar.
LeBron James is a good kid, a great player, and poised to assume the role of the No. 1 superstar in the basketball universe left open when Mike left the Bulls. But he needs to win championship titles.
I think LeBron has a grasp on the title of “the next Michael Jordan” because of his wondrous skills and his popularity. If he doesn’t help the Cavs get better each year, his standing could deteriorate. For right now, though, he is tearing up the league, like Jordan did, with a different style. LeBron isn’t as acrobatic, but he’s close. He passes more than Mike. He doesn’t slam home as many poster-perfect dunks, but he gets his share.
But he’s one of a kind. For that reason alone, I think he qualifies. :-)

everyone says he is, but I think he still has much too approve. The most important is to lead the team to championship.

I honestly do believe that Lebron James has the talent to become to next Michael Jordan. Now, this is no small task. Many of the people whom came straight from high school to the NBA were dubbed to be the next Michael Jordan. However, overtime, it was found out that they were us that- a dub.
Just because someone has the pleasure of being mentioned in the same sentence as Michael Jordan means nothing. Someone must also consider the things that Michael Jordan had to go through. He didnt even make the first cut of his high school basketball team. He wasnt even drafted first in the NBA draft. Not even second.
So, yes- if Lebron James is to be considered the next Michael Jordan, then he has a lot of work to do- for being the next Michael Jordan is no simple task. He will have to show that he is not a dudd, and leap over obstacles like no other.

I live here in Ohio, so of course I get to "witness" everything Lebron does, and I too grew up watching Jordan, but I do, even though I'm a little afraid to say it, I do think Lebron may be just as big or even bigger than Jordan. He's only 22 and he's doing great things. Lebron's an amazing player.
