I don't know if this means anything, but when Oak Hill Academy played St. Vincent-St. Mary the season before this past season, Lebron showed up Carmelo big time. While Oak Hill won the game because of their incredibly deep squad, all the scouts and the crowd knew that LeBron was better. This was when he was a Junior and Carmelo was a senior.
Carmelo is an amazing basketball player, as we've seen from his outstanding (but all too short) college career. But who's to say that LeBron would/wouldn't be able to do it. All this speculation isn't really necessary because it really could swing either way. LeBron may very well be the next Jordan, or he might be the next Harold Miner. It really just depends on his ability to adapt to a more intense schedule and his work ethic. Kobe is where he is now because of how hard he works on his game.
Anyways, personally, I think he's gonna be good. Not legendary-good, but a mid-upper tier player that will start on most any team he plays on. But again, it's just guessing.
