Had Bron not created a super team and stole a couple of cheap rings he might have been able to stay in Cleveland, attract a couple of stars and win 3-4 ring's and cement his legacy. By taking shortcuts he just cheated himself.
nikka, what in the 7 years of him not being able to attract a free agent tells you that they would've come later on:skip:?

Why y’all keep comparing the situations

Respect his decision tho but they ain’t the same

One hand Lebron on a Cavs team that couldn’t get no piece to compete with other contenders

Nobody wanted come to Cleveland the best free agent signing they had was Larry Hughes fukking Michael Redd turned the Cavs because he want to play in Cleveland :russ:

The best player he ever played over there was Mo Williams

The best draft pick during Lebron’s time was JJ Hickson:mjlol:

Meanwhile the Thunder were a Finals Contender that took the 73-9 to 3-1 games in western conference finals playing along side pieces like Westbrook, Ibaka and good role players like Adams and Roberson

For a organization like the Thunder who had a good track record for drafting and developing players and made good trades when needed.

Lebron didn’t go the Celtics who just beat him he went to the Heat who didn’t make the playoffs all because Chris Bosh told him no, he wouldn’t go Cleveland

Meanwhile KD left a contender in OKC for the best team in the league


I think some people took issue with 3 of the top draft picks of 2003 being all on the same team, during their prime. Especially fans like myself, who'd prefer to see a 28 year old Wade go up against LeBron in the playoffs a few times. I feel that would have been very fun to watch.

It would be like Jordan colluding with Stockton and Barkley (both from his draft class) to beat Detroit. Instead, Jordan developed Pippen into a monster and the rest is history.

Granted, LeBron going to Miami was no where near the scale of what Durant did. But those actions gave Durant that comfort level, to be able to join the Warriors. To deny that is to deny reality.

I think that title is a bit overrated


Cavs had a top 5-7 player of all time in his prime in Lebron
-hall of famer in Kevin Love
-probably most clutch and top 10 player in league in Kyrie
-one of the best rebounders in the game in Tristan
-solid bench in Jr, Shump, Jefferson, Belly, Mo

Warriors had
An injured Bogut, Iggy, Steph
Green suspended

The rosters were even, and some might say swayed more towards Cavs
The Cavs Kevin Love doesn't play like the T Wolves Kevin Love. Might be a hall of famer, but the basketball hall of fame is weird anyway because they let anybody in there.
The injuries notwithstanding, OKC should've eliminated them
The year before, Kyrie got hurt in the first game, otherwise we're talking about Cleveland going back to back

The city of Cleveland will view that championship as overrated.

OP, I thought I was the only one thinking this

I always hated LeBron but forreal... I'm about to become a fan because I always root for the underdog

LeBron is now the underdog :wow:




Can you imagine saying that about Jordan at any time after the Pistons dynasty era? :wow:

nikka, you high :russ:

Green played in 3 outta 4 games they lost, Steph said he was back and fine, and they were good enough to beat Durant and Westbrook combined.

Don't the Warriors have multiple hall of famers too since we using Kevin Love?

Dray played in 4 games and they were up 3-1, no Tim protection cause Bogut went down due to JR smith purposely falling into his knees(google that play in game 5) Scott Foster a knew warrior hatin ass ref made sure Curry was in foul trouble for game 6

Fact is Bron is a Supreme clown nikka getting up on the podium asking the league for help..

Dubs beat OKC because of WB low IQ, Donovan being a shyt coach...

Bron taking the blame, but I think he did it with the NBA "Powers that be" backing him up.


I've always maintained it was a marketing scheme.The NBA is still about entertainment.

I think he took a deal from the league.The NBA got their "NWO" super team in Miami

Cleveland got hooked up with #1 picks, so that when Bron returned to the Cavs(I think the "Powers" already knew he would)

They'd be stocked with talent/trade assets to build a contender around him.


He was looking stagnated in Cleveland pre 2010.He's the NBA's main marketing tool.

He was supposed to go to the Heat and win 3 ships in a row, be "greater than Jordan", but the Mavs/Spurs

foiled those plans.At least he got a couple, tho.Good deal for Bron and the NBA.Didn't go as planned

but all parties got something out of the deal.Now Bron's left taking the fall for that shyt.


It was a major business deal.The Dan Gilbert letter was controlled opposition/sensationalism.

That's why Bron wasn't tripping about it.It was all part of the script.Hot takes & big news stories.

It's all a production.From First Take to Undisputed....to whatever shyt you see on TV.

They're all in cahoots with each other.It's for your entertainment.The Matrix has you.

A lot of people want to overlook it, but the fact that he brought Cleveland a championship(with Kyrie's help), against the best team ever(with Kyrie's help), coming back from 3-1,(with Kyrie's help), holds a lot of weight. Bird only has 3 and that was with stacked teams on one of the most storied franchises in NBA history.

And the longer the city of Cleveland goes without another championship, the weightier the ship LeBron (and Kyrie) won becomes.
Bird joined a 23-59 celtic team.

Robert parish was a junkie who most of the league gave up on. Mchale was a bench warmer during birds first chip.

Lets not rewrite history for bron.

Other great players elevate the players they join or join them to greatness. Bron joins hall of famers.
