Dick Allen Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 25, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) You don't need to be personally invested in him/the Cavs to see what an asshole the guy was. No one would have questioned him leaving the Cavs. It was the bulls*** parading around the country getting other teams to beg for him that pissed me off. Especially since it was all for show. It was all for attention. He knew where he was going before FA hit. Unlike Wade and Bosh, who went on a country-wide tour, at least several teams, Bulls included, went to LeBron in Cleveland to sell their proposals. There is no question "The Decision" was a mistake. LeBron would be the first to tell you that. I actually think he's a pretty good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because the league was the perfect example of parity before that. It's not like 7 teams have won nearly every title since 1980 or anything.

LeBron going to Miami made winning championships and uncompetitive joke, just like the NBA has been almost it's entire existence. It shouldn't stop teams from becoming good. Only 9 franchises have won championships the last 33 years, since Magic and Bird came on the scene. Edited March 25, 2013 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 25, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Mike knows it too. His lame reasoning for choosing Kobe over LeBron ("5 beats 1") was so amatuer. A 10-year old could come up with that. It's way more complex. Imagine LeBron with early 2000's Shaq? lol. 80-2 every year. MJ + Shaq = would also demolish the league, what's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBJ would have more than 1 right now if he had prime Shaq as a team mate...don't mind me, I still get defensive about my idol, warts and all, lol.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:58 PM) This Heat streak is getting a little bit interesting. You figure they'll wax the Raptors on Sunday. If they beat Boston in Boston next Monday, the streak will be at 23. Their next 4 games after that are at Cleveland (no Irving), Detroit (they suck), Charlotte (lol), and at Orlando (they suck). This thing could very well be at 27 by the time they come to Chicago March 27th. Well damn. Anyway, this is it as far as I'm concerned regarding Rose's season debut. If he's too big a vagina to get up for the Heat and their historic streak, he's not coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
