It's just that it's too early to rank him as an all time great...
But there have been very, very, VERY few players in history who were as advanced as James was coming out of high school...and I think he made a much easier transition to the NBA than Kobe, Garnett or McGrady.

What if Kobe or LeBron suffered a carreer ending injury tomorrow? Would they make the list?
Shaq is more interesting. He's closer to making the list.

Originally posted by Red NightShaq would be a sure thing if he could shoot free throws. There are very few who can match Shaq in the low post. Kareem with the sky hook could do very well against Shaq offensively, but Shaq would eat him alive at the other end.

If you are gonna put Lebron in, regardless of where you live, you are gonna have to put Kobe in. And I hate the selfish punk. (Kobe, not Lebron)
