The years of Bird, Magic, and Jordan are distant memories, though cherished ones. Taking flight into a new generation of basketball is Cleveland Cavailers superstar Lebron James. He's the hottest player in the league, positioning his team in second place in the Central division of the Eastern conference. With a backup of swing-shooting guards like Larry Huges and Damon Jones plus a reliable scoring big man in Zydrunas Ilgauskas, James has enough help to do more than keep the Cavs afloat.
His numbers are impressive, 30.6 ppg, 5.8 apg, and 1.8 spg. With a 20-11 record King James will continue pursuit for the Cavs to rise from their miniscule previous seasons and lackluster performances. It's a sure bet he will insure a playoff spot for his team. The caliber of players he collaborates efforts with seems to make things click. This means Lebron doesn't have to score 30 points or more every night for his team to win. If anything he has ample opportunities to set up his teammates and collect more assists per game.
As one of the most popular and best all-around players today, James has become the poster child for the NBA. His world-wide appeal, performance and demeanor on the court also make him a good role model. Kids are in awe of his talents. They want to be like him. Oh my, could he be better than guess who...Jordan? That will be discovered later on down the road. What's important now for Lebron is to caltpult Cleveland to the top. Give him time, he's working on it. King James will rule in 2006.
