Michael Jordan is perhaps the greatest NBA player to have ever touched a basketball. When he was younger, in high school, he was said not to be good enough for his high school team and responded by working diligently to improve and eventually become a member of the North Carolina Tar Heels. He had enormous success at UNC, and was drafted into the NBA by the Chicago Bulls. Along with Scottie Pippin, the two would form a dynamic duo that would lead to an eventual six NBA Championships and named one of the "50 Greatest Players in NBA History." He also stepped into baseball, with not nearly as much success.

LeBron James is a shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He entered the league straight out of high school with an immense hype surrounding him, and he has lived up to it. He was the youngest player ever to reach 12,000 career points at the age of 24. He is also a very skilled athlete. He played wide out in high school, and excelled at football. He's been to the NBA Finals once, but lost to the San Antonio Spurs. There is no doubt that as LeBron continues to play, the league, fans, and sports in general will reap the benefits. He will go done in NBA history as one of the best to ever play, possibly the best.
