The 2 people that everyone compares him to are MJ and D-Wade. One of my favorite statistics ever is that when LeBron won rookie of the year he averaged 20.9/5.9/5.5 pts/ast/reb. At that age MJ averaged 13.5/1.8/4.4 at UNC and D-Wade averaged.... nothing because he was academically ineligable.<BR/><BR/>LeBron is not on the same court as the rest of them. It's that simple.

It isn't fair to either of them. MJ might have made those plays, he might not have -- but MJ wasn't in those situations at age 22 and four years in with a garbage team behind him. MJ has a LONG career to look back at, LBJ has just started. You want to compare them, wait until LBJ retires and then do it.hutlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383359405494669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-49812831392190867102007-06-13T15:24:00.000-04:002007-06-13T15:24:00.000-04:00No, Griffey would still make the All-Century team ...No, Griffey would still make the All-Century team because that was for 1900 to 1999.

His lazy blocking of the pitches led to too many passed balls and wild pitches (charged to the pitcher, but because Molina didn't make the proper effort to get in front of the ball). Also he threw out a very low percentage of base stealers.<BR/><BR/>It was probably a big factor in the Jays not picking up his option ... that and the fact that he's the slowest player in the majors.IkeKrizzulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462121707162240038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-10814335028103328812007-06-13T13:42:00.000-04:002007-06-13T13:42:00.000-04:00Remember a few years back, they had an all century...Remember a few years back, they had an all century team and even honored Ted Williams at it?

LBJ has the size, speed, and athletism to beat any person to any spot (most importantly the rim). Instead he settles for layups, passes or shoots mid-range shots. For a person that we are all supposed to "witness" as the next great one, he sure seems to lack the killer instinct.

If anything it just proves LJ is still no MJ. MJ would have made Bowen look the fool much like Byron Russel. Actually its amazing how much the end of that game was an opposite mirror for Lebron and MJ. Lebron had an opportunity to strip the ball from Duncan in the post, and failed, where MJ stripped from Malone, then he had a chance to fake out (push off, whatever) bowen and knock down the big shot, instead he let Bowen ride him.Zachariah Durandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192423643919433834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-56603693240531701052007-06-13T12:24:00.000-04:002007-06-13T12:24:00.000-04:00NL SS is ridiculously loaded right now.

I’d heard about an over-sized leather chair, and flat-screen TV… and didn’t see either. It appears the only thing that makes Bonds’ locker different from say, Vinnie Chulk, is that Barry has two. No big deal. So does the other Barry (Zito). And the entrance to the locker-room also features a sign warning the dangers of steroid use. I’ve been in darn near every clubhouse in major league baseball, and I can tell you with honesty it’s the first time I have seen a warning of this kind.**PatriotsNationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135734612898802153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-22073160784120995702007-06-13T11:44:00.000-04:002007-06-13T11:44:00.000-04:00What if Zito has a no-hitter going and a ball drop...What if Zito has a no-hitter going and a ball drops in front of Bonds that would have been caught by a fielder playing with non-wooden legs?
