Wow, someone actually knows about basketball. Well, to answer the questions, they'll live up to the hype, and in a couple of years, they'll be pretty good, the superstars of the team (Pretty close to being them right now).

Yesterdays game was a bad game for both players, everyone has their bad games, and even though Lebron did score 7, he is an all around player (He is like Magic, not Jordan, don't know how people come up with he plays like Jordan, sporting the number 23 doesn't mean anything). He backed it up with 11 Rebs, 7 assists, 3 blocks!! 2 steals, and only 2 turnovers. Carmelo is not like Larry Bird (at least not right now). He can score (outside and inside), can rebound, and that's about it, if he has a bad game scoring, then he has a bad game (Larry Bird was all around, he can blow up 40+ on any given night (especially in the playoffs), he can rebound, he can pass, he can steal, he IS Mr. Clutch, he can score anywhere, even from downtown. Whereas if Lebron gets 0 points, he can back it up with ease by getting 10 rebs, 10 assists, and so on.

Cleveland isn't going anywhere for a couple of years, then in about 3 years (maybe even 4), they'll make the playoffs as a low seed, it'll take them at least 4 or 5 years to get up there to the East finals, or even the NBA finals, and that is if this team stays consistent. Cleveland has a really good team right now, but they don't play D, and they don't have chemistry right now, that's where Lebron is supposed to come in. Right now, he doesn't seem like a PG, he should play SF (Dazzling passes doesn't automatically put you at PG). Magic was a PG for a reason, not because of his amazing passes, but because of what a PG is supposed to do... be the floor general.

A point guard guides the team to where they should go, he gives them directions for what they are supposed to do. He is the best dribbler and passer on the team, and he can create easy shots for other players. What Lebron does is go up the court without telling his teammates what to do, then passes it to the closest player without posting up, and then backs away from the whole team, which in reality, with that build he has, he should get inside. That is one of many reasons why Magic IS the best Point guard EVER.

Lebron also has to work on his shot, he has perfect form on his shot, so it's probably a mental thing that's troubling him. Also, although dunks are sweet, they don't make a superstar, if that were so, then Baby Jordan (Harold Miner), Dee Brown, Spud Webb, Vince Carter (He's not bad, good in my book) would be one of the best.

Nuggets, even though they are in the west, they actualyl stand a chance. They won't be an 8th seed, infact, they won't even be a 9th seed, but they'll give teams in the west trouble. They beat San Antonio, and Sacramento, although this is early, they have greatly improved from las years dissapointing season.

Nuggets have a better chance of going to the playoffs, but both of them are NOT going to the playoffs this year.
