Lebron who?

Sure, he can school a bunch of acne-infested teenagers who are worried more about whether the keg of Budweiser will arrive at the party on time, or what chick their going to date next, more then they are about basketball.

But, does this kid really have what it takes to be a legend?

One might say "Wow, this kid is great. He's perfect. He's everything you'd ever want in a basketball player."

Wrong. Basically every time basketball is brought up these days, Lebron James has to be mentioned. Keep in mind, this kid is only 18. He plays against teenagers. He's not god, nor do I think he'll ever be an un-godly player in the NBA, so stop treating him like a god.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, and every other sports news source in America is fixed on the fact Lebron will be the greatest.

The average height of a high school basketball player would probably be around 6'4" In the NBA it's 6'10 and 6'11. Pros can bench-press more, they are more experienced, and the most important factor, they don't have to deal with Lebron's pressure.

Nike put $90 million on it, and Cleveland will probably put somewhere around $11 million/year on it.

This kid has to be good, or not only is he tricking every single person in America into believing he's the next Michael Jordan, he'll be letting down everyone that he did trick.

With money comes fame, but with fame comes pressure, and with pressure comes disaster, and with disaster comes failure.

About 30 kids have gone to the pros straight out of high school, and only two of them are household names -- Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett.

Add a third to the list? I think not.
