So basically you were all good before 9:28 PM July 8th 2010?
Before that were you hoping he'd come to your team, right?
Damn, seems like anyone saying Bron isn't God is crazy to you guys
Listen: I'm not a fan of Bron, but I respect his game. Why would I, as a fan, WANT a player on my team that I'm not a fan of? What sense does that make?
On another level, I wasn't happy that we signed Amar'e, for the exact same reason, that I've never been a fan of his and found him overrated and one-dimensional. So I was pissed when we signed him and I'm still not convinced it was a good move, but I respect him as hell for working hard to come back after injuries and accepting his new role. Do I root for him as a Knick? Of course I do, as soon as you put that jersey I'm rocking with you. But I'm still not a fan of his. Same with Melo, I BECAME a fan of his when he came to the Knicks, but I did not support trading half our starting 5 to get him (we could've waited for the offseason).
I was actually hoping Bron would stay in Cleveland because I felt that he could've done something special with that team, as in CREATING a legacy there, and I just feel it makes it that more special for great players to stay in one franchise for their career.
