NEW ORLEANS - Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James has heard LSU freshman Ben Simmons being called "the next LeBron." Even though James recently called for basketball greats to stop being judged against one another, he says he is OK with the comparison being made between him and Simmons.
"I don't mind it," James said Friday prior to the Cavs' game against the New Orleans Pelicans. "Someone's going to be compared to someone all the time and I don't mind him being compared to me. People not only recognizing what he does on the floor, but he's a great kid, too.
