I would agree if you are talking about championships. But as much as I dislike Lebron his skillset, size, and athleticism make for a once in a lifetime player

I think he has a realistic shot to be very similar to Duncan. I don't see him being in the spotlight as much as Kobe/Lebron.

Unless he leaves to go to a major market team. :ducks:

The best example I've heard is a KG mixed with Durant.

It would be cool to see him play at PG sometimes ala Lebron. Don't think it will happen though

Russell was every bit the athlete Davis is, but what's scary is that Davis might be a lil' bit taller and definitely has a few inches on his wingspan.

AD is already better than Lebron, Kobe, and Tim Duncan combined. He should retire now. He will already go down as the greatest ever. He has nothing left to prove in his career.

I wish Kevin Garnett was mentoring AD. That's the game I'd like to see AD achieve.

Add in AD's natural gift for blocking/altering shots, and he would hypothetically be considered a greater player than Garnett was.

You want Davis to try to bully small point guards like Garnett does?
