NBA Daily Dime - April 23
LeBron is just great player to watch. Read this excerpt from the above page:
--A Question of Trust--
Where have we seen this guy before? Who is he?
Is he Magic? Oscar? Jerry? Michael? Can he be defined?
Maybe not. LeBron James is a one-of-a-kind player with the size of Magic, the strength of Oscar, the instincts of Jerry and Michael's leadership abilities.
Case in point on the MJ comparison: There was a play late in the third quarter, where LeBron drove the lane and, after drawing several Wizard defenders, dropped the ball off to Donyell Marshall for a wide-open layup. But Marshall badly missed the layup.
Marshall tried to laugh it off, but LeBron was not amused and fired a nasty scowl in Donyell's direction. LeBron had seen the Cavs' lead slip from 19 to 13 and was not finding humor in the situation.
Michael would have done the same thing. Michael had no patience for that kind of thing, especially the laughing-it-off part.
Here's where LeBron is different: Michael doesn't give Marshall another chance. LeBron does.
While LeBron is tough on teammates, he's not Michael-tough on them. LeBron has a different way. He includes them, gives them a second chance, and at times he defers to them.
So, maybe that's who he is. LeBron is a superstar who trusts his teammates and that trust might take the Cavs higher that we could imagine.-- ESPN Insider Will Perdue, from The Q in Cleveland
