Yes, I agree with you on some of those points. The media will be claiming that a heir to Jordan has arrived and that LeBron is one of the greatest ever played. And you know what, they might be right. If the Cavs do somehow pull away in the series and win it all he will get the MVP (unless Gibson nabs it, haha). The thing is that Lebron has this tendency of making the players around him better. Part for part the Spurs are a much greater team than the Cavs, some might still say that the Pistons were a better team, but the Cavs, with the help of Bron-Bron, manage to equal more than the sum of those parts.
There was something that I heard during that whole Kobe debacle recently: that players have to play with Kobe on the Lakers, but in Cleveland players want to play with him. I think that speaks volumes for LeBron as a player. Kobe Bryant, one of the best scorers of this generation, is unable to make his team good, but LeBron managed to lead a team of mostly nobodies into the NBA finals.
And on a another note: "But for the rest of the team....they'll get nothing but a ring. "
Somehow I don't think the other players will mind that much.
