LeBron to join Wade/Bosh in Miami
- Thread starter Ethereal
- Start date
now Larry Bird is gettin in the mix.
"That's why we have free agency," he told Dakich. "When you get an opportunity to get an open market, anything can happen. I'm like a lot of people. I'd like to have seen LeBron stay in Cleveland but his desire was to go play with some great players and try to win championships. You've got to do what's best for yourself. He's a very, very talented young man, a great basketball player and he wanted to go play with Wade and Bosh. He had the ability to do that and he did it.
"They'll be a great team but it's no guarantee they're going to win it next year."

he did what HE WANTS for HIS career
he has to realize he's not gonna be THE MAN in Miami... but he's gonna win more rings... and that's what HE cares about for HIS career
why should he care what YOU think is best for HIS career?
being the man in Cleveland and possibly winning no rings? or sharing the spotlight in Miami and possibly winning multiple rings?
he chose what HE wants

I don't think they'll be that bad man. They won't win 60+ games but that team isn't that bad. But by all means, they should suck, they just lost the league's MVP. Hickson is a good young player. They'll probably have chips on their shoulder and they're going to have it out for LeBron.
Security is going to be deep when LeBron returns to Cleveland.

This is a completely different situation...the backlash Lebron is getting speaks for itself.
The example of an old ass beat up LT is WAY different than Lebron in his prime. Teams don't cut players in their prime...especially after they win back to back MVP's.
Lebron is the self proclaimed "Chosen 1", The "King". He has his Jesus Christ pose hanging on buildings. He said he was gonna bring a ring to Cleveland and NOT go ring chasing.
You can't do all that and then just quit...especially when you are doing it to your home town on an hour long self-love fest speaking in third-person.
That's what really makes it over the top, as if it wasn't already.

okay.. let me break this down to you again... hopefully you'll get it this time...
you say is Lebron is disloyal, correct?
he left his team to give himself a better chance to win
his team didn't step it up enough, therefore they did not give him the best chance to win, so he put himself in what he felt was the best chance for him to win
now...
if a certain player is not stepping it up enough, thus not putting the team in the best position to win... there is a good chance the team will cut that player
you seem to think that is acceptable
therefore it's a double standard
I use the LT example because he played in SD for years... that team was close to winning a ring last year... but SD just said, ok... we're not gonna win a ring with you at RB... so we're done with you
Lebron was in Cleveland for his whole career... that team was close to winning a championship... but Lebron said, ok... I'm gonna win a ring with this team... so I'm done with you
see how it's the same situation, but the roles are reversed?
get it now?
