LOL only Ohio and Wyoming (
) chose LeBron over Russell for best to wear number 6.
Hypocritically, many of them wanted to BURN number 6 just a few years ago.
Now? They adore LeBron SO MUCH that they want to be ignorant of HISTORY and what Bill Russell did for not only basketball - but HUMANITY.
I get that LeBron did a courageous thing, admittedly, in coming back home, but STILL...
...but whom am I to tell Ohioans how to think?
Slightly off-topic, but I would've LOVED for Lebron to have competed in the 80's and 90's......this kind of jersey ranking would've been different if he would've had to compete against Dr. J, Michael Jordan, Scotty, Magic, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, Larry Bird....any other GREAT SG-SF I may have inadvertently left off the list.
Even Paul Pierce Prime or Kobe Prime would've made Lebron's current Superman-ness seemed - human.
LeBron is a GREAT player and I like him as a person, but ESPN needs to slow down a bit on Godmode for LeBron....or perhaps they need to hit the books a bit more.
