QuestionInference

Barcelona won La Liga last year.

How will Barcelona do this year?

The might win La Liga again, but it will be a challenge because Real Madrid has a very good team too.

LeBron James has won four MVPs and two championships and two gold medals by the age of 28.

Is he be as good as the all time greats Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson?

I think he can be, but he will have to win at least one more championships to be as good as them.
