Life was often a struggle for LeBron and his mother. LeBron James‚ who has been called "the best high school player ever‚" is a creative dunker with the explosiveness of Jordan and the passing ability of Magic Johnson.

31 October 2014 LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony LeBron James versus Carmelo Anthony is a very tough matchup and it is hard to pick the best one. They both are great players‚ but my opinion is LeBron James and there are many reasons why. They both came in the NBA in 2003. They both played twelve NBA seasons.

He’d beat the bad guys‚ save Shaq’s ass in the Western Conference’s Juggernauts: Duncan and Robinson’s Spurs‚ CWebb and Sacramento Queens‚ and the Portland Jail Blazers were all victims of young Mamba.
