Jordan used to make demands to the Bulls front office and they just ignored him and did other shyt... lucky for him though, because he was out there suggesting some dumb shyt anyway. :dead:

LeBron is bringing in a new era out here of the star player just controlling everything. There's been examples of this before, but nothing quite like Bron... most superstar players before have just been content being employees.
What did MJ use to suggest?

You forgot to mention that they weren't brought in to play the roles they played, and had Love and Irving not been hurt they would have been looked at as great pickups.
No, I didn't forget. I just don't make excuses for players when they fail.

You forgetting how bad they played? Forgetting that Shumpert was brought in to play D and hit open jumpers and Smith was brought into create shots and hit open jumpers?

LeBron was still able to get his team open looks. Those boys had every chance to put up 15-20 a game. They were flat out bricking wide open shots. Uncontested 3s and 18 footers just clanging off the rim.

That's on Love and Irving? If Kevin Love wasn't hurt JR would have not missed those wide open shots?

thank god LeBron is the coach

Cavs wouldn't have made it past the Bulls if they ran Maccabiball's plays at the end of games :scusthov:
You mean how Blatt switched up their defensive scheme in the second half of the season - resulting in the #1 defense in the playoffs - DEFENSE being the main reason why they actually made it through to the Finals? If you're suggesting that LeBron ran his own plays against the Bulls/in the playoffs, it's certainly nothing to "thank god" about, when he had the WORST postseason (efficiency speaking) of his career:

39% shooting (25 shots to score 26 points) and 10% 3-pt shooting against the Bulls
41% shooting (27 shots to score 30 points), 22% 3-pt shooting and 29% on ALL jumpshots in the playoffs.

I'll let you [and your stupid ass agenda] cook though.

don't play dumb now @Gil Scott-Heroin

you know i'm talking about the last possession in game 4 when Blatt originally had Bron inbound the ball

and if you wanna talk about agendas you defending Blatt at all costs (just like Marc Stein on ESPN) is also an agenda

I'm well aware of the ONE possession you're talking about, the question is, why are you using ONE play as your argument instead of the ENTIRETY of the playoffs? Ya'know where defense kept them afloat - the very defense in which Blatt was the mastermind behind, or what about integrating JR/Shumpert/Mozgov midseason to the point where they were by far the best team in the East, or what about the rapport he built with the players en route to the Finals?

I defend him because dudes like you criticize him unfairly. It's not an agenda, because I wouldn't need to defend him if dudes like you actually used your [rock] brain.

So ESPN if Lebron is doing all of this wink wink per fat ass windhorst. And the lil midget running the team supposedly let Lebron do whatever he wanted the first go around in Cleveland. Why weren't the Cavs able to get players to come there then?

What Lebron GM skills got better being under Pat Riley's wing? He went to GM university in Miami?

So ESPN it is believe able that Lebron runs a whole team? Should we also believe NBA (owners and commissioner) set up the lotto to make sure that the Cavs got the top pick 3 out of 4 times Lebron was not there? Why do I have a feeling they would say the NBA draft being fixed 3 out of 4 years isn't believable.

To your first point, Bron didnt have two rings on his resume during his first run in Cleveland
