I hope wife doesn't lurk here.

She is a cutie.

As face value it wasn't one of the best dunks I've seen, but with all the emotion wrapped around it, it is right up there. Very deserving of a commercial IMO.

Wait.....LOL!! Check it again, he gets a GREAT pick and the 2nd player over plays his move, once in there air....forget it....ANY player is posterized....

As a Celtics fan, I have to agree.

We're talking Pierce, Posey and KG here folks!

Each and every one of them are premier defensive players, and LeBron made them all look like school boys on that play!

Also, like Matt said, Kevin Harlan's call was the capper of that.

No....but the NBA was nowhere near pushing him to be the next great anything UNTIL he one his 1st championship. There was still Larry, Magic and Isiah.....

Maybe it's because Michael wasn't this dominant at an early age?

Gasp, did I just say that? Yes I did.

2nd point to this and all homerism aside for a second. The media is MUCH bigger now than when Michael started off in 1984.

News outlets have been reporting on LeBron since he was in middle school. His high school games at St. Vincent St. Mary were broadcast on ESPN. LeBron was on the cover of Sport's Illustrated as a Junior in High School! Just think about that for a minute......

The bar was set so high for him even BEFORE he came to the NBA. It almost seemed impossible for him to live up to everything that was said of him. But you know what? At the tender age of 24, amazingly he IS starting to not only reach, but exceed those expectations! That is what's so amazing about his story. But guess what folks? This is only the prologue. This kid hopefully has many chapters yet to write before all is said and done.

LMAO!!! Yeah.....try comparing the teams and players back when Michael was young......then come talk to me.

Bird, Magic, Worthy, Wilkins, Ewing, Thomas, Lambeer, Rodman, Olijuan, Miller, Mutumbo, Mourning, Malone.....

...and that was JUST the 80s....Lebron will NEVER see the amount of talent thrown at him day in day out like what was thrown out at Michael Jordan....
