The Legend Of LeBron James

By Manny Bream

No one can deny that LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players in the NBA, whether he is the best ever is open to debate.

Young fans are always saying that he is the one, and nobody will eve be as good. In my humble opinion, I thank that it is way to early to be able to make sweeping statements if this kind.

Winning the NBA championship is something that all past masters of the game have done at least once, yet LeBron still has to win his first. Being in possession of a championship ring is symbolic, and no one can really be classed as an all time great without one.

LeBron is obviously very aware of this shortfall and now has one of the all time greats to help him achieve his goal; Shaq. The undeniable force of this center may well get James that prize he so desperately craves.

Teaming these two together has to be looked at as a stroke of genius. The Dominant force of Shaq will complement the skills of LeBron, and vice versa.

It's going to be a might exciting season, and watching them play together is going to be thrilling, but the one thing that will be praying in LeBron's mind is the embarrassing defeat they suffered at the hands of the Orlando Magic in last seasons play offs. He'll be hoping that lightning doesn't strike twice, and that Shaq is the man to conduct it.

What is exciting about LeBron is that he still hasn't reached his peak, which should be awesome when it arrives. This is another reason why you can't class him as the best yet.

The thing LeBron lacks is a maturity in his game due to his age, watching this develop over the next few seasons is going to be fun to watch.
