Laughable

ESPN Poll Question (aka, an invitation for stupid people to be heard): At age 24, which player would you rather have on your team?

Kobe Bryant: 10%
LeBron James: 30%
Michael Jordan: 59%

I'm all for respecting the past and I'm one of the first people to think that in today's instant gratification and instant publishing age, we're a little too quick to deem something the best ever...but holy living fuck, LeBron at 24 is so far superior to either of those two that it isn't even funny. If LeBron had played with Shaq at age 24 and Shaq was in his prime like he was for Kobe, their team would have won 7 straight titles and LeBron would have averaged 25 points, 20 assists and 13 boards a game. Not to mention 7 blocks. I'm not even exaggerating these numbers. He'd average nearly a quad-double with EASE.

People are fucking stupid. If LeBron keeps improving at the rate he has so far, he won't be the next Jordan, he'll simply be remembered as the best player of all time.
