Thanks for posting it Juice....

He basically confirmed his retardation....its a long drawn out article not even explaining the reason he compared lebron to dr. j....

Lebron has never played with the amount of talent Dr. J had as a 76'er. Dr. J wasn't big time ball handler, not did he make his teammates better really...he was a great player but more like Carmelo because he is a reciever....I mean he himself said Dr. J didn't get the touches he should have....Lebron doesn't need touches if he is the point guard....which he essentially is but hasn't really been given that role flat out...only why Mike Brown is lost and needs Lebron to save the Cavs.

Anyway...I wanted to mention what Lebron might need to be successful as a point guard....targets.

Someone said Chandler could be like Sprewell....Spree had huge balls and played with energy and a chip on his shoulder....Chandler plays like he is a narcoleptic. Dude has no pulse. IMHO....Lebron needs a guy that can run the floor just as wild as he does...someone like Iggy of the 76'ers or Richard Jefferson of the Spurs. Both guys can fill the lanes perfectly. I like Iggy better cuz he can handle and pass very well at the 3-2 spots. A sign and trade for Iggy would be awesome. David Lee would be awesome as well if he could be retained but he needs help...maybe Shaq follows Lebron and D'antoni actually finds a way to include him in the offense/defense. If they resign Lee, maybe Mike Miller comes too.

How good would a rotation of Lee, Gallo, Shaq, Lebron, Iggy, Walker, TD, and Mike Miller be???

Iguodala I can get on-board with. But please, not Shaq.

Hey EnySpree, looks like Tommy Dee is thinking the same way. Perhaps he's a fan of your blog?

If you remember Magic Johnson, as many of you do, Earvin was the leader of the fast-paced “showtime” Lakers. He needed a Byron Scott, James Worthy and Michael Cooper to finish on the break. He had the ability to see over defenders, and that gave him a great advantage. Magic is 6′9, James is 6′8.
Magic ultimately morphed into the best post-up guard the league had scene before Jordan learned more of the craft. I think D’Antoni can put Lebron in a position to be that effective, so long as he surrounds him with the right athletes. I’d be hesitant to think the Knicks would become Showtime 2.0, but they will definitely get out and run with James (or Wade) along with Bosh, Chandler and Gallinari, who would be ridiculously efficient in the secondary break. Maybe Eddy Curry could get low post position and finish at the basket. Is that asking too much?
Get out on the break and you’ll get the ball. I think that can completely attract Lebron James. And if you look at the stats, the Lakers, despite having a slew of Hall of Famers, never finished better than 7th in defensive rating in any title year and finished as high as 10th in any championship year.

Yeah I peeped this too...Chad Ford also wrote a similar take talking about a source. That source might very well be me.
