Watched LeBron decimate the 76ers last week. The ESPN’s Ric Bucher said that the Cavs’ forward checked in at 6-foot-9, 274 -pounds. Just a guess, but there’s never been an NBA player to possess this unique blend of size and speed. When LeBron was a 240-pound rookie, the ...

I don't believe it. Guys like Howard and
Oden are just as muscular if not more, and...
are also taller. Bynum is also bulky. I think Lebron's weight is greatly exaggerated. Do you really see him having 50 pounds on Kobe? 10 pounds on Howard? I think ...

... is that LeBron James is currently one of the most fascinating athletes in all of sports. And we get to watch and appreciate him every night. We were one of those guys who didn’t fully appreciate Air Jordan (our favorite non-game winning jumpshot in NBA history is at the 2:15 mark) back when he was dominating in the 90s (Magic Johnson fan here). In hindsight, we can now see that Jordan was the best player in the history of the NBA. We won’t make the same mistake this time with James.

overall... Yes, absolutely. Noce at power forward didn't work when Skiles and Boylan tried to do it and it's certainly not working now either. At least when Skiles was the coach, Noce was actually playing somewhere above the garbage level he's been at the last two years. Remember how much of a menace he was against the Wiz in the 04-05 playoffs? That player has been gone for quite some time. * From The Big Lead (link): Watched LeBron decimate the 76ers last week.

... was on in the background, and when the Cavs-Rockets highlights came on, my conversation topic immediately shifted to LeBron James. He’s 6-foot-8 and weighs around 260 (or 274?) pounds, but he plays like a guard! And he’s so fast, and so crisp, and so good! His dunks are so effortless, it’s like he’s playing on a toy hoop in a basement! Why am I yelling so much?!?!
It’s just not fair. But it’s fantastic to watch.
Gracias, TBL.
