Lebron - Living up to the Hype

Lebron has shown EVERYONE what he is about.

He scored 29 of team's last 30 points in the game last night! And he is only 22.

"It was very Jordanesque," the Pistons' Chauncey Billups said. "That kid was on fire, it was crazy. He put on an unbelievable display out there. It's probably the best I have seen against us ever in the playoffs."

Lebron is no "moment of truth" infant (see article below) like Dirk Nowitzki.

This year, he is the Dwayne Wade of the playoffs although I don't think the Cavs can beat the Spurs.

Not many teams especially one as bad as the Cavs over the years, have won a championship that quickly (except Bird's Celtics and Magic's Lakers) and Lebron will have to wait and earn it just like Jordan did. He will get one soon though, trust me.

The NBA needs more star power like Lebron. It is unfortunate that he shines in Cleveland and not a major city.
