    It just dawned on me that in a high school Duan Wagner scored 100 points in a game....DID LEBRON JAMES DO THIS? Why is he gettin all this hype that Duan Wagner deserved also? I don't understand....Lebron James scored 52 or somethin close to it, Wagner's season high is 100 POINTS! 100....not 90.....not 80.....not 70....not 60....not 50.... but 100 points! Why why why why why? I don't get it, Duan Wagner deserved the hype, the first instance Lebron James got hype, THEY GOT HIM IN TROUBLE.....TWICE! Duan Wagner could have gotten all this hype in a high school league not that private school league James is in. He's in a mediocre league playin kids nowhere near his size. Wagner played with players that matched up to him....Lebron James is playing ppl that r like 6'4 on average. I don't get it, what's ur take? Yeah Duan is 6'2 but still what's goin on? Help me understand.....

    Did you all know Wagner's dad played in the NBA? He played for the Heat.

    It's because of LJ's size and ability, all this shit about "next kobe", "next MJ", nobody did that to Juanny.Occasionally you'd hear, "next AI" but he barely got the recognition of people.

    Oh yeah, and he never had a shoe deal when he was that young either [​IMG]

    First research, then post. LBJ is playing against some great competition. They've already beaten several high schools in the top 25, including the #1. Dajuan is a great player, but it was well-known he was going to college, so he didn't get NBA talk like LBJ. Also, Wagner is a 6'2" SG, not exactly NBA size. Iverson makes it work, but he's a very special player. The biggest problem with high schoolers is that they don't have NBA bodies. LBJ's got an NBA ready body and has a natural postion of SF. He is seen as ready to contribute in the NBA, whereas Dajuan would need a little while to figure his role out. Plus, LBJ is still more talented.

    Yup I agree with that. I feel bad for Bron Bron tho cuz he has to have all that pressure on him, living up to people's expectations.

    The fact lebron is 6'8 and is very big while getting 15 rebounds a game proves how good he is.The teams he plays are good...but the test of course isn't the NBA.But he did face melo anthony and his team-mates in a pick-up game i think and both faired very well against each other.James is the bes thing since mcgrady and kobe...

    6-8 is a high school center size.
