MJ..? No...Maybe Kobe...Mike had a mental edge over the league that may not EVER be seen again...His own teamates were afraid of him...But Lebron, he certainly has the markings...He has definitely been playing great ball...He has certainly surprised me, I couldn't see taking Carmello behind him, but it looks like it's turning into a good move...

Pending injury, the fact that like Kobe, he can be a verteran when he's 25 or 26 is scary as fuck...

Almost as scary as seeing him jump to dunk the basketball, I'm betting that he hits his face on the rim sooner or later...Boy is jumpin' out the gym on them shits...

I think kobe is a joke compared to MJ. That's not a bad thing, it's just that nobody in today's league has the mentality of Jordan or Magic.

As for the finals, Super Sonics look pretty good. Don't underestimate them.

No they don't. Their strictly a shooting team, sooner or later the rim will get smaller and smaller for them.

I agree with you ghost. Teams will learn how to stop them and then they'll choke.

Devin Harris I think. Either him for Okafor, but his team hasn't won very much.

Devin Harris is the man!!!

Okafur is 3rd in the league in rebounds...as a rookie thats impressive, I think he has a double-double in everygame but like 7 or so....he's def. got rookie of the year so far in my opinoin. Being from Chicago I also gotta point out that Ben Gordon is doing great as well.

Ben Gordon isn't a rookie though. Isn't he a second year player?

This was a really weak draft class this season, I haven't seen a single rookie that I have been tempted to watch, certainly not following the Carmello Lebron shootout we were treated to last year...

I just wanted to see Shaq punch Kobe in his shit, and now that hasn't happened, I haven't watched a basketball game since...

Ben Gordon and Emika Okafur won a championship together last year, how can you think one is a rook and one is a second year player?

I agree that this years draft class wasn't quite like last year, but that one boy on the hawks can get UP...Josh Smith from some highschool I believe.
