    Harry,
    The scary thing is he is just 24 years old!!! If he stays healthy and he stays as focused as he is now, then Yes I do believe he will. Michael evolved over the years when the body could no longer do what it did he adapted. LBJ will have to do the same. As he gets older he may want to start dropping some of the mass he is carrying now. I interviewed him the first time at 17, he impressed me then with his maturity. He is special!

    If he continues to play and make clutch shots like that ....well don't know if he'll be better than MJ.......but he is sure heading in the right direction.

      Well then you can most likely figure out what the 4 digits on my name means...There truly is somebody left older than me??? Remarkable LOL !!!

        Yes, I had figured that out prior, that's why i gave my year. Obviously 56 was a better year. You're way smarter than me. i enjoy reading your posts and I"ll keep putting in my 2 cents.

      GG,
      I totally disagree with your assesment! #1 if I was really smart I would not be a Sports Reporter, I would have done something legit with my life! Second from my vantage point You seem pretty smart to me! I will always welcome your feed back!

    In relation 2 your ?, here's somethings 2 ponder. James wears jersey 23. Plays for Cleveland (founded 1796. 1+7+9+6=23). Jordan--who lives a lake or 2 away from Cleveland--made #23 pretty famous within basketball circles but knows that all FORMER GREATS love to see their legacies continued through somebody equally or more talented than they were, wich means Jordan is rooting 4 LeBron hoping 2 c him exceed in every way imaginable. Plus, but maybe a more impotantly recognizable fact is number 23 seems 2 b a take-over number!

      Anthacione,
      Are you a fan of Lost as I am? The numbers are a big part of that shows plotline! LOL Back 20 years ago 33 was the big number as Kareem and Larry Joe Bird each wore it. Magic was 32 as was Kevin McHale. 23 came into vogue when MJ wore it (Do you remember the number he wore briefly after coming back from the White Sox? No fair looking it up! LOL) LBJ worships MJ and makes no bones about it. I think, and this is just conjecture on my part that Micheal sees a a similar transcendent player in James more so than in Kobe. So I think you theory has substance!
