Understood. I just have a feeling that Lebron will get his rings, but it's at least one more away. Kobe wants to bury that ape that's been on his back since Shaq won one in Miami. Once that's done, then it will be time for Lebron to carry on his mantle.
I must admit that while Ferry has assembled a good team, I still think they are 1-2 players away (and I focus primarily on the bigs). If Cleveland gets someone like a Bynum; then I would say they're IT for a while to come. Until that happens, I think they're susceptible.

Born in '74. I've been told that while the Russell/Chamberlain match-up was exceptional, the '72 Lakers were something to behold. I wouldn't know any more than word of mouth and second hand stories. I would have to say that the battles between Magic/Bird/Dr. J were outstanding.
