Speaking of championships I thought it was very very cool that the Cavs were presented the Eastern conference trophy by Bill Russell.
In case some of you are unfamiliar with him the man has more NBA championship rings than fingers:
Michael Jordan would have needed two careers to get more rings.

That's not what matters. What does matter is that MJ won championships and Lebron hasn't yet.

agreed.
everyone forgets that LeBron is what, 22 years old and he is doing this.. i know melo came out of cuse' but im not sure if wade went to college or not.
not to mention that LeBron has made his team better every year.. just look at the Cavs over the past 4-5 years.. his team has got better EVERY YEAR. including beating the Pistons this year which they got very close to doing last year.
too many people just write off the Cavs. IMO the Cavs big men are the most underrated in the league.. Z and Gooden are both VERY good shooters and rebounders, dont forget that the cavs lead the league in rebounds... and Varejo comes off the bench and provides soo much energy and defense it is redic.

I am sick of the Wade/Lebron debate. Remember their rookie year, when they both sucked and Melo looked to be the standout of that draft?
Analysis, Analysis, Analysis. Until Cleveland plays Miami in the Eastern Finals, there really is no reason to compare, is there?
LeBron James: 39.5 minutes per game, 41.7% from the field, 29% from three, 75.4% from the line, 1.6 steals per game, 0.7 blocks per game, 3.5 TOs, 5.5 rebounds per game, 5.9 APG, 20.9 APG
Carmelo: 36.5, 42.6%, 32.2%, 77.7% (weird), 1.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 3.0 TOS, 6.0 RPG, 2.8 APG, 21.0 PPG
Dwayne Wade: 34.9, 46.5%, 30.2%, 74.7%, 1.4 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 3.2 TOs, 4.1 RPG, 4.5 APG, 16.2 PPG
The only thing Carmelo was clearly better than James at was 3pt%. Everything else is pretty comparable. So I would have to disagree, Carmelo was NOT looked at to be the standard of the draft. In fact, I don't ever remember hearing that. I will agree they were both better than Wade, but Wade wasn't expected to be this good, and he also had a much smaller role than those two his rookie year.
