The way LeBron is playing at the age of 21, we have start making other guys worse as we can't give him an overall of over 99... He is 98 good as it is...
Hes shooting, improved his three, can dunk and drive very effectively, he can dish out the ball with the best of them, he's got a good handle on the rebounds, he's tall fast, quick and can jump straight through the roof, he is not a great shot blocker, but he gets his share of steals almost every game...
Basically he has the following flaws... His three point shooting isn't yet there, he gambles on defense a bit and he lacks experience in the league.
So we should not give him 98 now because he will become so much better??? What is that??? He is right now just that damn good... Who will win the triple-double battle next year? LeBron James and no one will come even close... The loss to the Pistons will get his game to another level... He was just that close, but he has to be better next time around and as a kid who's never been "defeated" he won't want to feel that again!
We're looking at the evolution of something incredible... He will be one of the best if not the best players to ever grace the NBA hardwood Jordan or no Jordan... Barring serious injuries of course... That's the only thing that can side track this man-machine integration that is know as LeBron...
Mike James?
