    Durant has far more potential to improve though...

    LeBron's game was never that evolving IMO. It has always been his athleticism and strength that has been damn near impossible to stop. I don't know if skill wise he'll get much better, but he'll have his size and strength and abilities for another 6-8 years before we start to see a decline, IMO.

    Cavs had one of the worst records against elite teams last year. Hollinger didn't even recognize that the NBA was about matchups until the Cavs were down 3-1 to the Magic.

    He still has a lot of room for improvement. If he can learn to shoot midrange jumpers and post people up before he loses some of that athleticism, then he will be ridiculous.

    This is idiotic. Since when has a statistical peak meant that your game has peaked?. Lebron still has lots of room for improvement, and they might not necessarily show up on the statsheet (man defense, shooting range). God, I hate Hollinger.

    Umm...who exactly did he take a look at in his research? Can you really compare anyone to LeBron James at this point, especially someone in the modern ERA that has all the new treatments and health luxuries we have in this day and age?
