LeBron James put on a show for the NBA world on Thursday night, and now all of his critics are singing his praises.

LeBron gets compared to Jordan and Magic (He is closer to Magic in my mind), but his performance Thursday reminded me more of Mario Lemieux, who carried the Pittsburgh Penguins to two Stanley Cups in early 90s. Mario took a franchise that had been terrible for years and made it a team that is still considered an elite team. A team that was all but out of Pittsburgh that became the best team of the 90s.

LeBron also is doing more with less than any other superstar in the NBA has done. Magic had Kareem and Michael had Scottie. LeBron has …, well, … no one who is considered anywhere near elite.
