Lebron is close to 6"9 260 now isn't he? I think we'll see someone similar to him, but not in the near future.

So funny how we are already speculating the next Lebron when the actual LeBron is still only 23

Well Durant has matched Lebron's rookie season from a scoring standpoint. Although I doubt he will match the rise to stardom in only his 2nd season in the league like Lebron

But Durant didn't have that NBA ready body to match the freakish athleticism.

Beasley does. So we'll see

So I think we can see players make a Lebron like impact on the game. But again, there is no SF in sight with such a freakish combo of size/athleticism.

There are some guys close to the size of Lebron with his leaping ability like a Josh Smith per say, but they don't have his speed. Lebron is one of the fastest players with the BBall in the league which is absurd for his size.

There is certainly no prospect in the 2008 or 2009 class that matches this and I'd think I'd hear about it if there was a guy in the 2010/2011 one that had it

What's up with the "Next LeBron", "Next Kobe", "Next Jordan"? Can't players have their own way? They could be the next of their own. There will never be a next anyone in the NBA.

Lebron is basically god, he package of size, speed, and skill I don't believe can be duplicated. The crazy thing is he is only 23 wait till his shoot comes around and he has a chance to do things that Micheal couldn't do.
