Whats the big deal about LeBron James?

[Time-Traveler]

Hello. I am from the year 2016; LeBron turned out just as good as expected.

And better than Kobe. Kid badmouthed Cleveland some on his way to sunny Florida and got on my shit list, but what he said when he came back as an adult came close to almost touching me.

As far as the competition, James has been playing in summer AAU ball for years now, against the best high school talent in the country. Most of these kids he was playing against all these years were older than him too. He’s been playing with NBA players in informal games as well. No one has had as much hype as him in high school, and the other players who’ve had lots of hype like this (Garnett, McGrady, Bryant) are all currently being ridiculous in the NBA. It takes everyone a couple of years to get adjusted to the NBA, but James will be a superstar, no doubt about it.

This guy right here, he really knows his shit.

Even if Lebron is in Garnett & Kobe’s class – & here’s guessing he’s a step below – he can’t be expected to be an All-Star at least until the 2005-06 Season & I’d bet it’ll be more like ’08 or ’09 before he’s there.

The amusing thing about this was not only that the 2005-06 season was LeBron’s second appearance in the All-Star game, but he was also the All Star MVP that year.

So, yep, he turned out to be that good and even better.

Since this has been resurrected, I’m moving it to The Game Room.
