Lebron is close to passing Magic. If the argument is talent alone, there is no question, but with players like this it's not just about talent alone.
Lebron is the better scorer. There is no debate about that. He's a better defender by a good margin. He is a good passer, but he's not close to what Magic was. Magic is the greatest PG of all time - no one had the vision or the ability to make the plays that he did, and he did it at 6'9.
If you could choose between the two in their prime, I think the majority would pick Lebron but it would be a lot closer than you would think. Magic was a great player, an excellent leader and IMO he was more competitive than Lebron. Lebron has really stepped up as a leader the last two years and ultimately I think that's what will get him there. Personally I do not think he will ever catch Jordan because he was the perfect storm of talent, skill, work ethic and competitive drive, but if anyone does get their it will be Lebron.
That's a great post.

I haven't missed many Heat games over the past 4 years and in my opinion, the one thing LeBron does better than anything is pass the ball. I am dead serious. He isn't as good a ball handler in the open courts as Magic but his vision is just as good as is the zip on his passes.

Huh? Did LeBron win DPOY and I didn't see it? You know there are players who have won MVP and DPOY, right?
The fact remains there has never been a player with that size and strength that could defend all 5 positions on the court as effectively as LeBron.
Name a previous DPOY that is capable of guarding David West, Paul George and Lance Stephenson all in the same game.

It's not about his talent. Obv he would be fine there. How would he react to Ewing, Mason, Oakley ect hacking the hell out of him and trying to get in his head? Big difference between that and Lance Stephenson talking trash.
LeBron gets mauled regularly. Tackled by Hinrich. Forearm smash to the throat by McRoberts. Horsecollared by Teletovic. Broken nose by Ibaka, His response to those recent incidents was to get off the floor and win an NBA championship.
