OT: LeBron gives up number for nod to MJ

[chakdaddy]

Not according to the CRAB NATION. According to the Crab Nation he is already a legend and the top 5 player in the league............... How SAD is that?

I agree he's being pretty obnoxious, but are you seriously suggesting that LeBron isn't even a top 5 player in the league???? It's pretty hard to argue that he's not the top player in the league. Stats wise, for serveral years now, he's put up numbers that basically no one outside Bird, Oscar Robertson, and Jordan ever managed - and Jordan could only manage it in '88-89. I guess it's early to anoint him a 'legend' but it certainly seems inevitable.

I am guessing he meant top 5 of all time.

LeBron is the best player in the NBA today by a pretty wide margin. It's probably inevitable that he will become a legend at the end of his career, and he could definitely end up Top 5 of All-Time if he achieves the success needed.

As of now though, he is NOT a Top 5 player All-Time, and yes, he should just STFU until then.

Ya, my bad. That is what I ment........... I mean I DONT THINK HE IS but the Cav fans do.

[Hilltop]

Why am I not surprised? Next to the Lakers, the Cavs have the most bandwagon fans around. And it's a shame for the long-time and loyal fans of the franchise who have been there through thick and thin. I guess wherever LeBron goes, his minions are going to be grabbing a handle.

That Cavs fan base will see a sharp drop if James ever bolts for another team.

^Yep...I guarantee as soon as Queen James bolts, the Cavs will have no fans just like they did before they drafted the Queen...

This guy is really getting full of himself. I wanted to like him, I really did, but it's hard with the comments he makes and the way he carries himself on the court.

As much as I love Kobe, Lebron is the new Kobe.

Irrelevant because the discussion isn't on who is the better player. The point is that LeBron is way too arrogant for a guy who hasn't really achieved that much yet in his career.

[CHIMOCHI]

BRON BRON stay working the media.

Are all 1800+ of your posts in the "Bron Bron working the media" format?

Exactly. He ain't done **** in terms of winning anything other than an MVP...a little humility wouldn't hurt Queen James...
