Tough. Lebron is a more rare talent than Oden, but building around a big man is much easier. Can't take Oden yet considering how much Lebron has accomplished on this level without Oden having played a game yet, but as I said, building around a big man is much easier.

LOL. The only big men that has won with a all star caliber wing man is Hakeem and Oden ain't Hakeem. Give me Lebron.

I think Oden is more valuable to a team than LeBron.

As much as I think LeBron is the second coming... I have to go with Oden. Franchise bigs win championships.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I love the big men, and I think you win with great big men, but I have to see oden on the pro level to determine if he is going to be any kind of offensive threat. I mean will we have something closer to Hakeem or a better version of Okafor......

Lebron is a rare talent tho and he is a legit 6'8 player, in the mold of a magic johnson. this is tough..

The only "small" man I would take over a comparably talented big man would be Jordan.

I'm taking Lebron for more than one reason.

He sells tickets , he can put a team on his back offensively, also pass the rock well.

Easier to put roll players around him that are one dimesional cheap players.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Until LeBron get a frontcourt presence on his team, that is all he will ever do.

In other words, "He aint Jordan."

I'll take Lebron.

Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

big men need to be fed the ball.

Lebron is able to attack, distribute, etc.

its early yet for oden- give him 3 years.

I think when most people think of Oden, they think of him in a defensive concept.

I do, but you know I was not that sold on him a year or so ago. I am not saying he won't live up to the billing, he just may, I saw enough of him to be impressed, but since HS he has been bigger than everyone and his game limited to dunking over small players, I didn't see any slick footwork, any spin moves, reverses, anything other than dunk, I do think he will be a limited offensive player, but on defense a game changer. Against florida in the finals, he was a monster on defense.. offensively... blah...

Lebron - he's a proven commodity that is getting better.

Olden - is likely to be very good but unproven

An earlier poster said Lebron isn't Jordan. But Jordan wasn't Jordan at 23 either. Lebron will probably never be as good as Jordan - but it isn't clear he won't be yet. Even if he never gets any better he's already great. While I think Olden will be great also - I'll take the sure thing with upside over the unproven.
