Battle 4 Atlantis 2012 is Loaded

Throughout the week of Thanksgiving there are all sorts of college basketball tournaments and for a long time the Maui Invitational has been regarded as the cream of the crop.  Things could be changing though though when you get a look at the field of the 2012 Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.  Louisvile, Memphis, Duke, Missouri, Stanford, VCU, Minnesota and Northern Iowa round out a mean eight-team tournament.  2012 will only be the second year of Battle 4 Atlantis, but things certainly look promising for this holiday tournament in the future.

Who is Better, MJ or LeBron?

I have seen both Michael and LeBron play live and countless times on TV. Yes I was even the moron who watched LeBron play in a televised ESPN2 high school game at famed Pauley Pavilion. In that game LeBron should have received at least three offensive fouls, but he scored 21 points on 8-24 shooting while leading St Vincents to a victory over the then #4 in the country Mater Dei. I said then to a couple of hoopaholics that this phenom out of HS would never be a true force in the NBA. This was the final year HS players could come out and apply for the NBA draft. LeBron went #1 overall to the Cavs which I found hard to believe because Carmelo just won a National Title at Syracuse and went #3 and going #4 and #5 were Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.

Well fast forward a few years and LeBron just held the MVP of the NBA to 6% shooting when he guarded him in the 2011 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. 6’8″ LeBron can play all five positions if need be. Could MJ do that? LeBron is a monster at his size and I have to believe MJ would have major issues checking him if they went head-to-head.

I know MJ has six rings, but they were in a completely different era. LeBron is the most dominating player I have ever seen and I saw Wilt, Kareem, Jerry West, Magic and Larry in person too.
