Who's that anonymous fellow? Posts: 1,589 Group: Member Member #93 Joined: July 15, 2006	Looking at th Boxscores for Cleveland-Indiana LeBron is heading for another triple double. The fourth of the season I believe. Now averaging 31.4 points per game 8.1 rebounds per contest 8 assists per game aswell Can he keep these numbers up, especially with the injury depleted Cavs? Now playing low post and wing. Putting up career highs in several categories. And some writers are putting down his nae as the best in the league.....obviously the Laker fans go nuts and explain why they love Kobe Bryant a million times but is he better than Duncan?

Will he average a triple double though? I think he could. With a few good players with him I think he could get there, an extra 2 assists and 2 rebounds agme and it's possible. Is that a lot to ask from a guy who has atleast another 14 years in the league?

Likewise his shooting may improve as he'd only be taking decent shots and not having to force stuff because no one else can play. I don't think he will average a triple double, but he could be MVP within a couple of seasons if the Cavs can get to 55 wins. Record does play a part in the decision 9 times out of 10 so that is worth mentioning. Better than Duncan? I think so, although maybe not better than Duncan was at his very best a few years ago...

His numbers have increased largely because he has even less help than he did before, so he's having to do everything. If he got a better backup or more teammates that could carry the load, he'd play fewer minutes; if they acquired a half-decent point-guard (Andre Miller and Mike Bibby probably the most likely right now), his assist numbers would go down because the team would have another distributer. He's already an obvious MVP candidate, but I can't see him joining Oscar in that particular area of the record books.

If Bron gets a gd shot he has a chance to become the GOAT.

But it was clear to all they'd have been out in round 1, 2 at best in the west. Now he is stuck there and has to hope they can upgrade the roster.

I think Melo is clearly the best of the 3, the other 2 are yet to show any ability tp wear cornrows. All the greats have had cornrows; Iverson, Ricky Davis, Darius Miles. The list goes on...

Enough to tell you that Darius Miles is a future hall of famer anyway. Thats good news for LeBron that he didn't sign the longer contract, I thought he did, most of the top players do as it's the max deal over the longest number of years. That puts the pressure on Ferry to start doing something then, but with the pieces he has, his hands are tied somewhat.

Melo was the only one out of that group that signed the longer extension.
