Larry's a legend and all that, but dude is salty. Criticizing a player who leaves money on the table to put himself in a better to position to win a championship? 
I understand Larry's old-school mentality and how he might think players going to a stacked team are soft-ass niqqas, but bytching about it this way is
The guy is still hurt the way his Pacers folded like a beach chair in the playoffs.

You nikkas talking about lebron...stop...just stop. You're playin yourself and you sound fukking ridiculous.
Every single ship ive seen won since I've started watching ball in the late 80's as a kid has been stacked.
I'm the biggest Jordan whore ever and he had pip who is one of the most underrated players of all time and Rodman who's arguably the greatest rebounder ever.
The heat are no different. Bron had one of the best playoff performances ever and he was LONG overdue for his ship. He takes criticism just for not breathing correctly and blinking off rhythm.
Like I said, everyone needs to just shut the fukk up with the foolishness already...

IF they cared about winning, they would be more like the Birds, Magics, Jordans, who LED teams to titles by getting better as a player and not piggybacking championship caliber teams to get one. It makes the whole thing cheap. nikkas gotta form super teams to win championships now?
This.
To the point that others have made it's really easy for a guy who played for one of the two greatest franchises in the history of the game and for probably the greatest GM ever to talk about nikkas taking paycuts or piggybacking. I don't ever recall hearing this much talk about HOW a guy won a title. Now people wanna put all kinds of conditions on shyt and it really doesn't make sense. If a nikka values a ring over money so be it let him do him. If a nikka wants to piggyback so be it let him do him. I just get can't over how morality has changed when it comes to sports. I grew up hearing about how horrible these self-centered and greedy athletes were. Now not being self-centered and greedy are bad things?
I'm having a hard time keeping up.IF they cared about winning, they would be more like the Birds, Magics, Jordans, who LED teams to titles by getting better as a player and not piggybacking championship caliber teams to get one.

They LED other great players to those titles. I am so tired of this "superteams" whining. "Superteams" have always dominated this league. The team with the best players wins in basketball almost all the time. The Celtics and Lakers of the 80s had a monoply on the titles in part because of Bird in Magic but in other large part because of great FOs that put great players around them. How the fukk is Bird, McHale, Parrish (all 20/10 guys) not a fukking superteam? It was even worse back then because you didn't have the same financial restraints and teams for some reason had no problem bending over and giving up top picks. Imagine if the Heat got Anthony Davis this year. That's what happen when the Lakers got Worthy and the C's got Bias. How is great players playing together and winning now cheap when it was basically par for the for the course for the first 40+ years of the league. To many nikkas that came up in the one start per team era who lack perspective as to how the game has been played for the majority of it's history.

Who exactly are you referring to in this post? I don't know any player who has done this since probably Charles Barkley. Some say LeBron did but Miami hadn't been out of the first round in 5 years before he got there. Hardly "championship caliber" until he signed on. Now people are on Nash? The Lakers are 1-8 the last 2 years in the second round, so again, hardly "championship caliber".

So neither Jordan, Magic, or Bird played on super teams huh? No HOFs, no allstars, no top tier players at all right? Dem cats had absolutely no help whatsoever.
Oh and i guess Bron aint just lead his team to a fukkin championship neither right?
wit dis revisionist history bullshyt already nikkas.
about Raymond possibly leaving his beloved Celtics.
