Said it myself after Tuesday's game. I want to see Lebron perform well consistently on the road before we start saying he is even close to in Kobe and Wade's league. The guy has done it in the 4th quarter at home which is what good players do....

Great players step up on the road and take games over we'll see if that happens... and doing it once like tonight isn't the deciding factor either...

Any player can get hot for a few games I want consistency from this guy. What playoff game did Jordan ever score less then 20 points back to back in big time games....?

Well, what has Kobe done in the playoffs on the road since Shaq left that is so special?

Last years game 5 at Detroit , Cleveland won 86-84 , Lebron had 32-5-5 ... So I believe he can do it , and so does he ... , the problems were game 6 and 7 ...

I hear ya Larry , we know this is gonna be decided in the last 3 mins , just like all the other games ... so why watch the 1st 45 ?? you might ask .. The answer is Simple ..... KING JAMES ... Gonna be interesting to see how much he grows up tonight , a win would be huge , I backed off my moneyline play though ... Clelevand is 4-0 in the covering department , so Im taking the points tonight , and getting ready to root it in !!

I think Jordan was the greatest ever and don't think Lebron deserves to be mentioned along side him right now. But what was Jordan doing when he was Lebron's age??? Exactly.

I don't have any problem putting him Wade's league and not far behind Kobe. What have either of them done without Shaq? People that don't think that's a huge factor are ignorant.

Don't get me wrong, I want to see James step up on the road as well, but the past two games have spoken volumes about the kid. People that keep putting him down are just haters who don't appreciate great basketball.

btw On the Cavs and the points. Detroit has not shown the ability to pull away from this team yet.

Shaq didn't do all that much more then anyone else in the 2006 finals... Wade won that series not Shaq... Shaq averaged like 19 a game in the playoffs that year and was on the Bench often...

Jordan hit a game winning shot in the National Title game at that age... Jordan was clutch but he was on a far worst team then Jordan and Jordan didn't miss hte playoffs once in his whole career with the Bulls...

wade put himself in another league last year when he dominated in the NBA Finals last year... I would argue with you that Shaq wasn't even one of the best 4 players on the court in the finals last year...

Shaq doesn't have to average 30 points a game to be a huge factor, even you know that. Anyway, we've been over this before, I'll just agree to disagree on this one.

When Jordan was 22 years old , the Bulls were swept out of the playoffs in round 1 by Boston ( however , Jordan did set the playoff single game record with 63 points in that sweep ) Jordan averaged 43.5 for the 3 game series ... , at age 23 , Jordans Bulls were swept by Boston the following year as well , as a matter of fact , It took Jordan until age 25 to make his first Eastern Conference finals .... So yes , right now it is premature to compare the two , But if James has a couple rings by age 25 or 26 , those comparisions will be flying high ...

For the record , Jordan is my alltime favorite player , i get tears in my eyes discussing his acheivements over the years

Mike didn't come out at the age of 18...

AND MIKE never missed the playoffs something Lebron has already done... Mike played in a tougher league IMO

Lets just agree to disagree but I think Lebron willl never be Mike comparable... Maybe Magic but not Mike... Obviously not a knock on him haha

Maybe you didnt count those last 2 years playing with the Wizards , but the rest of the world including the statisticians did ....

I saw a stat , the Lebron was the first and only player to average 27 pts , 8 rebounds and 7 assists in his first 20 playoff games ... FIRST AND ONLY ....
