Enough about that though; I really want to know what you guys think his ceiling really is because of the combination of size, strength and speed he possesses.
    The ceiling is only as high as he pushes it. If he doesn't stop working on improving every aspect of his game he'll keep getting better.

    I honestly can't wait to see where his game is a few years from now. I think this first championship has put his mind at ease and the flood gates will open.

That's what really happened lol
        no that didnt happen. Phoenix didnt want to trade Amare and they backed out. The Cavs didnt say no to Amare for JJ ****ing Hickson.

          I know guys here on OS get sick of it saying it's old & tired, but it never gets old to me.

          I don't take it too serious, I guess that's why it cracks me up.

            It wasn't for Hickson straight up obviously.. It was essentially the same as the Jamison trade only they would have had to include Hickson and they didn't want to lose that many pieces for Amar'e

              The Cavs did offer up Hickson, but the Suns didnt want the package.
              The Cleveland Cavaliers pursued Stoudemire hard in recent days at the behest of LeBron James, but pulled out of talks with the Suns Wednesday afternoon and swung a three-team deal instead for Washington's Antawn Jamison when Phoenix told the Cavs it wasn't ready to commit to a Stoudemire trade.
              I dont know why everyone thinks that the Cavs didnt pull the trigger for Amare when a year later they trade JJ for Omri Casspi straight up. If they thought he had that much potential then they wouldnt have given up on him that fast. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4924306

                I was saying that based on the report given by NBA tv..

                All your article states is that the Suns backed out, it never said why or who was in the trade..

                NBAtv said the reason why is because Cleveland wouldn't add Hickson like I just said before..

                  I agree which is why I'm responding now... but with that said, your reply was so late and still mine is now a week later than that, I'm going to let it be. Sorry... don't agree with it all but good reply.

                    And NBAtv is wrong.

                    Everyone who is close to the Cavaliers organization has said that the Suns backed out because of media pressure, not because of JJ Hickson.

                      Simply can't get enough of this commercial. I remember watching this the 1st commercial break after they won the title.

                      Outstanding how Nike was able to outline Lebron's career journey to a title soo well, in a little over 1 minute.

                      And the ring maker theme along with Marvin Gaye is brilliant.

                      Probably, my favorite Nike commercial of all time.

                      Great work on this.

                        What do you guys think about comparisons between the Showtime Lakers and the Miami Heat? If LeBron was playing point, I could definitely see it. Spo said he wants us to play faster this next year also.

                            In order to play faster Lebron needs to stay at 3 or 4.

                              Two teams shouldn't even be in the same sentence if you ask me.

                                I don't see the similarities other than that they both play up-tempo...

                                Also, they will have to play fast if they expect to keep winning without a center in the rotation
