If you know anything about basketball, you know about LeBron James. If you don't, here are a few facts.

- At 24 years old, he is either the best player on earth, or the second-best player on earth, depending on how you rate Kobe Bryant (who is six years older).- He is listed at 6'8" (203cm) and 250 pounds (113kg), but he has grown taller and larger since his stats were taken.- He has broken almost every record you can think of since he entered the NBA straight out of high school.
- Every team in the NBA is clearing space in the 2010 salary cap. LeBron is coming out of contract at Cleveland at the end of next season, and it is quite clear he'll move as a free agent. Whoever he moves to will instantly become a favourite for the NBA title that season.
This Sports Illustrated article can give you an idea of just how physically dominant he is in a league of physically dominant men.
Anyway, LeBron "King" James is the business. He has singlehandedly dragged his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to the NBA finals these last few years. Don't believe me? Check out this video of James and four other guys playing against the Detroit Pistons in the 2007 finals. James scored 29 of his team's last 30 points, including the last 25 straight, to win in overtime.

And here's his Top 10 Plays of the 08/09 season so far. My favourites are numbers 5, 4 and 2.
