As far as LeBron being the next MJ that is very far fetched. We will never see another MJ in our lifetimes. Need I remind everyone about a person called Kobe who was supposed to be better than MJ but we see were that went, and he had the same coach and several hall of fame players with him. MJ changed the face of basketball. LeBron is just following in his shoes. He was shut down in the second half and only had 6 points. Granted MJ had the same thing happen to him courtesy of Detroit, but he learned how to be a complete player and beat you in other ways. LeBron is far from that and far from ever being that the team looks to him to much and he just wants to take every shot he can and complain when it doesn't go his way. He reminds me more of Kobe and not Michael. When all is said and done he will have been a good player, but not the greatest. The greatest beat all the hall of famers and top 50 players of all time( Magic, Bird, Isiah, Drexler, Ewing, Shaq, Kobe, Dominique, and so on). The only true hall of famers that LeBron has even played that could even begin to compete with the 50 greatest are Shaq and Kobe. Let us step back and review who we are comparing LeBron to, the greatest ever MJ.
Deja vu? Lebron, Michael...Michael, LeBron
