Shawn Marion will be very expensive. The Cavs would have to do a sign and trade.
I'm in the minority, but I think LeBron is better than Jordan at the same stage in their careers. The 4th quarter of Game 5 of the 2007 ECF is the rainmaker.
Jordan needed Pippen to advance in the playoffs. LeBron did not.
Jordan needed coaching to advance to the finals. LeBron did not.
Jordan didn't need anything else after that.
LeBron is just physically dominating. He completely abused a Piston team that is loaded with solid defenders. Defenders that take charges, get steals, block shots, rebound, and force turnovers. LeBron just dunked on them all. Jordan dunked on players. LeBron dunks on teams.
WTF....is niketalk filled with idiots today????
