re: How can you justify saying Magic>Lebron?

I think the Magic comparison is the best one you can make with LBJ, since they play somewhat similar roles for their respective teams (I like it much more than the Jordan comparison)

When you look at the teams, Lebron has to do more scoring, because he doesn't have a dominant inside game like Magic did. This also could help inflate Magic's assist numbers, since it's an easy assist to throw it in to a top 5 center and have him dunk it 6 times a game. However, LBJ gets that too when he tosses it over to Wade who slashes in for 2.

I think the entire Heat roster relies on Lebron to carry them more on an every game basis than Magic's teams did. When he doesn't play well, they sink pretty fast.
