When I grew up playing basketball, there was one guy I wanted to watch and that was Larry Bird. I have never watched a player like him.  He was a all around player – passing, dribbling, shooting – he could do it all. This day and age, the best in the game is Lebron James. He can do it all. It’s hard to compare a James against Bird, because the game is so much different. Also, when I grew up, there was a player called Michael Jordan and he is truly the best player I have ever seen. A long time ago, I knew a security guard at the old stadium. He let me in early one day to watch Bird, Jordan and Magic Johnson work out. Take it from me, I have never watched 3 players work out before a game as hard as they did. But in 2015, Lebron James is the best.
