Who Will Win First? Lebron James or Kyrie Irving?

Next season LeBron James could lace up his kicks for the Heat, Knicks, Bulls, or one of a number of other teams.  Kyrie Irving will be doing the same, except it will be for Duke.

They will both have one goal in mind, and that is to win.  My question to you is this: Who will win a title first?

Obviously on their respective levels.

Kyrie Irving could be next season's John Wall.  He has the makings of the next Jason Williams, Bobby Hurley, or Steve Wojciechowski.  In a scary way, Irving is said to be better and more athletic than all three.

Irving is an athletic slasher that can cross over a Tar Heel and dunk on their big man after just a few steps.

He will undoubtedly step onto Cameron and be an instant star.  Thrown into the mix with Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith, Irving is expected to be the freshman member of the big three.

People are suddenly quiet with the "Duke can't win" comments and they will have as good a chance as anyone else next year.  They will be quick, athletic, and deep. 

Coach Mike Krzyzewski will suit up his best team since the Jason Williams days.  An impressive statement for a team that just won a title.

LBJ on the other hand is still a free agent.  He can't legally sign with a team until July 8, and not even Ms. Cleo knows where he is going to end up. 

Of the teams that he is talking about joining, Chicago more than likely gives him the best chance at a quick title. 

Throw him on a team with former Duke player (who left too early) Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, and a Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade and you have a true contender instantly.

That being said, they will still have to contend.  The East is not as deep as the West, but as the Celtics proved this season, anyone can get hot at the right time.

If James does not choose Chi Town, then I see him staying at home in Cleveland.  Not a team that I see staying great for very long.  LeBron needs a solid point guard that can slash opposite of him.

If I had to pick who would win a title first, I would have to go with Irving.  There is no guarantee that either will get a title, but Irving will have the better supporting cast. 

A legendary coach mixed in with one of the best teams in the nation greatly bumps Irving's chances.

One thing that hurts Irving's cause is the fact that he is more than likely a one and done player.  He is going to use Duke as a springboard and could have the tools to be a great NBA player. 

Until then, Tar Heels will have to cry every time he beats them next season.
