NBA: Comparing The League’s Stars To Characters From “The Wire”
Lebron James, Stringer Bell
Future: It’s hard to deny that both Stringer Bell and LeBron James are business savvy, and clever. Stringer Bell was focused on his future which is why he began talking with Clay Davis about building grants. Like Stringer Bell, LeBron James has a vision for the future; he wants to bring a championship to Cleveland.

Better Product: While Avon Barksdale was away in prison, Stringer made the decision to give up some Westside property to Eastside kingpin, Prop Joe, in exchange for better product. LeBron James has already shown us that he will leave for better product …Big 3 in Miami anyone?
Ambition+Impatience: Lebron James tells Sports Illustrated, “The Spurs know how to pace perfection. I haven’t figured that out yet.” Cavaliers general manager, David Griffin, tells Sports Illustrated, “The most important thing in his life is winning a championship here, and he feels incredible pressure to deliver,” he said. “He is consumed by it.” Stringer was told by Clay Davis that it will take longer than expected on the building grants, this was far too much for him. Stringer’s ambition combined with impatience drove him crazy; hopefully this isn’t the case for LeBron James.
