LeBron led an otherwise average team to the NBA Finals; Price was part of a good team with several comparably good players (Brad Daughtery and Larry Nance) that made it to the 1992 Eastern Conference finals once.
Again, context.

I would agree -- the context is that LeBron James has become arguably the best player in the NBA at an age most players are coming into the NBA. If LeBron regressed to Mark Price's level and stayed there for the rest of his career, he still would be better than Price.

The only way Price would be considered greater than LeBron is if King James got injured and/or showed an inexplicably sharp decline in his game. It seems you want to award it to Price simply on the basis of years of service.

Re: 10 Greatest Cavaliers

paulo - i just don't see how you could go with price here. lebron's already had 3 seasons far better than price's best. price was truly a great pg, but lebron has already established himself, firmly, as the greatest cav. as it was, price really had 5 all-star-level seasons, and had 1 1st or 2nd team all-nba. longevity is the only thing price could possibly have on lebron, and even there it's limited.
