good marketing by the nba.  we're doing everything to make this #23 better than the last one in which you see just one in a generation.  the current #23 is like an athletic shaq...not an air jordan.  at 24 shaq was just as dominate in a big man way.  grant was BS after he left chicago.  air took him to the next level.  pippen was good comp but ok with no jordan on a team..given the time frame air was in baseball.  oakley a career garbage man.  ok...rod is an oddity in the middle.

where are you getting this bullshit idea that people are comparing Lebron to Michael? no one who knows anything about the game would put them in the same league, Michael is the greatest who ever played the game, Lebron is a VERY good player but not in Michael's league. Lebron is DEFINITELY one of the 2-3 best in the NBA AT THIS POINT though.

That is a different argument. He is the best that i saw play but remember Oscar Robinson, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlin, George Gervin, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins and many more.

honestly man there's only 1, MAYBE 2 of those guys comparable to Michael, you could say that Wilt was more dominant for his time and changed the way the game is played and you could argue that Oscar was as much of a force offensively FOR THE TIME averaging a triple double for an entire season but IMO neither were as good all around as Michael.

Lakers vs. Cavs Finals if this happens the league would make LOTS AND LOTS of cash with lebron vs. kobe. This would make our salary cap go up and we would have more oney to spend. Right now im praying that both series go 7 games and the cavs and lakers vs. each other in the finals so we can see a kobe vs. lebron matchup. It also wouldnt hurt if that went to 7 games. These things happen then the NBA would make a lot of money and we can get back up to 20 mill in cap space. Would this effect our cap situation or not????

 I think Kobe is still better than Lebron, let alone comparing him to Jordan.   Allen Iverson was one of the best too and only 6ft or so.  He scored 50+ pts multiple times.

i agree, Kobe still has the edge on Lebron and i think he's going to find that out if they face each other in the finals, Kobe has the experience and 3 rings, Kobe is also a better shooter and defensive player.

23   cannot do everything which is why LA SHOULD win the title.  24 can get away with more things  but the Lakers are just too sloppy right now.  Fish and Sasha are colder than a freezer in Antartica right now.

Michael is the greatest who ever played the game

2nd best ever behind Wilt Chamberlin..... 50 points and 25 rebounds a game average in a single season.

If the Cavs come back from 3-1 to beat a better Magic team, we will all know that the vitamin guys knew the fix was in...Bottom line is the Magic has shown that they are the best team in the league...Update...The Cavs took game 5 and are only two games away from telling everyone that the fix is in...

LeBron definitely sounds frustrated right now, but if they go with their game plan from games 1 and 2 - and put their foot on Orlando's throat once they get the lead - then they can get the next 2 games and take it to a toss-up in Game 7. 

Sadly, they *did* follow the game 1-2 blueprint and after getting that huge early lead, they let Orlando get right back into it...again.  The scary part was how easy it was for Orlando to close the deficit and take the lead.  If I recall correctly, in 17 minutes of game time, Orlando went from a 22-point deficit to an 8-point lead.  That's a 30-point swing that should've been made a LOT harder by Cleveland.

They got bailed out by some favorable officiating and it helped that they remained aggressive (that timeout call early in the 3rd was critical) and they absolutely NEEDED those huge 3s from Williams and Gibson. 

But one of the things I heard last night on the radio really tells the story, though: Orlando did almost everything possible to lose a game they didn't have to win and they STILL almost won. 

From a fan perspective, it would be nice to get two Game 7s in the conference finals, but Cleveland has a lot of work today and will have to play flawlessly to bring the series back home.
