scroll up and see the quoted text in grad's post. I think he has the potential to rival Jordan. Jordan was not a legend when he was 1-9 in the playoffs.

1 first-round playoff series win. Legends usually have a bit more on their resume.
I believe there was some player named Bird...Larry Bird. Ever heard of him?
this has nothing to do with love for lebron or his potential (which I'm very high on), or what kind of a legend he could become. Read the convo from the last page.C'mon how about a little love for LeBron? The guy won his first playoff series he competed in.
then I'll nominate him a legend among 21 year olds.Not at this age.

In the 1975-76 series between these two teams, does anybody out there remember Elvin Hayes going to the line and "bricking" two free throws in the closing moments like Arenas did tonite? I sure as hell do. I was "actually" one of the 300,000 fans at game 7 of that series, as a 13 year old kid. The rest is simply "Dick Snyder" history.
The old Coliseum was such a blast. My uncle scored some tickets at the last second for that game, and I swear to God they were the last two seats sold for that game. If there is any human out there that was at both the game 7 vs. Washington and the scUM game in 2002 I'd love to have your input. As crazy as the crowd was for the Buckeye victory, I'd bet my nuts that the crowd noise and enthusiasm was no where near that after THAT game 7.
Regarding other young 'legends': Larry Bird was 23 before he ever appeared in an NBA playoff game, so he's not a good comparison.
A better choice would have been Magic Johnson, who scored 42 points, and had 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in the last game of the 1980 NBA finals (a game that Kareem missed). Magic was named Finals MVP at the age of 20. Now that's a young 'legend'.
I think you're being a little too harsh. Can you name anyone else who's been this good this quickly in the history of the NBA (he's 21)? I can't.
