Lebron James

[dandaman23]

WOW. Did he look good or what?? 25 points in his first NBA game thats great. Especially against a team like the Kings. I cant believe he is only 18. He is going to be really good some day. I'm not comparing him to MJ but he can be as good if not better than MJ someday.

I was a doubter but now I might be a believer!

Basketball is too political and craftfully refereed to entertain. I hate it. LeBron sucks. No way someone should get payed millions to play basketball. Now FOOTBALL, that's a sport, although I have to admit, I have noticed alot more problems with the NFL than I used to, or cared to notice?!?!

The Kings dont play defense. And the Suns dont either. It will be interesting to see what he does against the Eastern teams that play a little tougher defense. Dont get me wrong, I think he can play, but I want to see if he can consistently hit the outside shot.
And on a quick side note....he still hasnt won a game.

Well..they are building him up to be the next Michael Jordan

[dandaman23]

Another great game for him. 21 points 12 rebounds and 8 asissts. He is doing great. Before the season started I wasnt sure on how he would do but even in just two games he has proved that he is for real. Oh and this is to The Saint, even though you said the Suns dont play D he still shot 4-5 3 pointers. The stats count but they really no good to your team if there not winning.

thats true but i want to see him go up against yao ming and tim duncan like carmello had to do! not divac and cabarkaba!

Well..the NBA sneakily did their schedule where marquee matchups are played after the football season ends....so you'll see him go up...he's proven to be a good player....so far.

For whatever it is worth, unless he puts up ridiculous Jordan type number thsi year, I don't think he will win ROY.


I think that's because he is great, but won't help his team win, which is much more important.


I think the Nuggets might improve to 30-35 wins, that would put Carmelo Anthony as my first vote for ROY.

Other rookies to watch are T.J. Ford, stuck in hell (aka Milwaukee), and Steve Blake, with the Wizards, who strangely enough, may play better now that all that Jordan pressure is off. Blake backs up Gilbert Arenas, so I am not sure a 6th man can win ROY.

Luke Ridenour probably won't crack the starters spot in Seattle ahead of Brent Barry, but Brent is better as a 2. But he is not a better 2 than Ray Allen, so by default he is the 1. But if Ridenour is good enough to start, then with Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis to pass to, he may do REALLY well. You'd have Barry coming off the bench then, and he can shoot and pass too. Assists for everyone!

It's too early to tell, but I think Carmelo Anthony might get a chance at ROY
