Like Mike? Peers see LeBron for own greatness

"Once last year came and he was able to bring his family down to Miami and really get comfortable in the surroundings, the new environment, he started getting back to being the LeBron James that we all became accustomed to," Wade said.

"It's not saying the year before that he wasn't special. Any time he puts on the jersey and he steps on the court, he's a special player, but now he's just even more confident. He's at that age, at 28 years old, where everything just comes together."

Remember that Jordan, although he hadn't been in the league as long after playing college ball at North Carolina, was 28 when he won his first championship in 1991. Wade would caution that this is only the start of James' very own, unique story.

"MJ's legacy at 50 years old is still going strong," Wade said, "and LeBron James' legacy will be the same."
