We were always under the impression that LeBron James was a once-in-a-generation kind of athlete. So imagine our surprise when we heard that NBA prospect Derrick Williams already thinks he has what it takes to fill LeBron's old Nikes in the city of Cleveland—assuming, of course, the Cavs spend the first pick in the NBA Draft on him next month. "I think I'm the No. 1 pick because I have more star quality I would think," Williams said recently. "I'm just a bigger person. Just trying to fill in for a big star like LeBron like they're missing. That missing piece. I think that's me."

Say what you want about him, but dude doesn't lack confidence, huh? [via ArizonaSports]
