The LeBron James Thread

Re: The Official where is LeBron going thread

Until you move to LA please dont question what I just said.

I think why LA is brought up in LeBron threads period is because people in the back of their minds knew or rather were afraid that the Cavs would've ousted the Lakers had they both made the finals.

Right now I have dudes who never email me, can hardly get them to respond to things important to some serious things going on in life, going on a roll about LeBron. They're lakers fans... these dudes are so predictable its not even funny, and if you want to call it hate, enjoy the name calling. I know what I know.

That said, I still dont think LeBron even knows what he's going to do yet. The Cavs have alot of important decisions to make immediately.

We both know they have 1 EASY decision to make.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

#1. I am a huge basketball fan.
#2. Having the best player in the world on the team doesn't guarantee anything (i.e.-Cleveland). I'd much rather have a great team. We have a start with Rose and Noah. Once Lebron gets there, it will be all about Lebron, and I don't like that.
#3. Anybody who says, "The fact that I spoil a lot of people with my play -- when you have a bad game here and there, when you have three bad games in a seven-year career." Really Lebron, only 3 bad games?


Yea, that's entitlement.

While I am thinking about it, the fact that Lebron played Boston like they were going to roll out the red carpet for him speaks volumes of his sense of entitlement. You are playing against not 1, not 2, but 3 HOF's with a young gun like Rondo that shines in the playoffs. And then you make a statement about 3 bad games in 7 years. That really turned me off to the "greatness" of Lebron. Kobe had to learn the same thing, hopefully Lebron does soon.

You done? I personally don't mind what LeBron said and don't see what the big deal is anyway. If we wanna read into stuff like everyone has been doing on this series, maybe he meant three bad playoff games? LeBron has carried that team since he got there, he didn't show up in Game 5 and he got bent over for it. He should get criticized for it, but people took it to an extreme that it didn't have to go.

No having the best player on your team doesn't gurantee you anything but history has done a pretty good job of showing us that the team with the highly accepted best player in the world is going to contend for titles. LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, Bird, Magic, Russell, Wilt the list is long and they all end in rings except one so far. To say you don't want the best player in the world on your team is outrageous.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Kobe has been down a similar road before. Yet when his name was being mentioned in a trade people were jumping from the Sears Tower in joy.

Also I remember a certain character that a lot of people thought would ruin the Bulls core and chemistry. Mr. Rodman anyone? How did that turn out?

Noah's isn't get brainwashed by anyone. He's his own man. Rose on the other hand will just side by everyone's side.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Good point. Thing is it would have to be a max contract or close to it for a max contract. Does Toronto want to pay Lee that kind of money?

No idea, maybe Vince can comment on it.

Lebron can't take the good with the bad. When he's winning, he is taking pictures. When he's losing, he can't shake the winners hand. History tells us that the team with the best player in the world, and with the biggest ego will not win a championship. The list is surprising as long, Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, Wilt, Kareem. Bottom line, players don't win championships, teams do.

I don't think Bron has/would have any problem with Noah if they were teammates. If anything I think he would respect how hard Noah plays and the fact that he doesn't back down.

You can't blame one player for losing but give credit to the entire team when winning. LBJ right now doesn't have the fire or passion to ignite his team. Everyone is hoping he gets it later. His teammates need to take as much of blame as he does as he ain't the only one having a good time.

My thoughts exactly. I don't understand some of the other Bull fans out there saying we need to ship Noah because he's going to the ruin Chicago's chance at getting James. If anything Noah is a positive factor.

Just looking at last night alone. Does LBJ want to play with a player like Andy that went to the ref on a offensive set to stop the game because he got a paper cut. Or would he rather play with a Noah which busts his *** no matter what till the clock stops at 0.

But Lebron can take credit for wins but not losses? Either way, the point is that I don't believe Lebron is at a point where winning a championship is his first priority. I don't think that's good for the Bulls. That's a good fit for NY though.

Yeah, why would he want to go to a team that is trading a way a serviceable young big man. If anything Noah is a better Andy and I think Bron loves playing w/ Andy despite his time of the month coming during Game 6.

There is enough blame to be equally spread out between Mike Brown/teammates/LBJ this year.

Now last year, it was ALL on teammates/Mike Brown
