Hold up....he can't be praised for doing something athletes don't often do?

Did Lebron invent being praised for taking a paycut?

You niqqas are retarded with the dumb ass hate.

That's all it is.

If I'm hating then you're dikkriding

He can be praised for taking a paycut, but you can't spin that into him being a competitor. I'm not saying he's not a competitor.....but taking less money with the sole purpose of being able to stack a team is the opposite of being a competitor. How anyone could say otherwise is beyond me

I'm not discounting anything he's done, but what y'all are arguing is silly

Come on dude.

This is all Kobe inspired. Athletes are always praised when taking a paycut for the better of the team. Tom Brady was praised. So were others. NOW you want to call it something else when Bron is praised for it. :rudy:

If this isn't the first time you've heard an athlete praised for taking a paycut yet IS the first time you've said an athlete doesn't deserve praise for it, its personal.

And it's CLEAR what I'm saying is 100% correct. You have ZERO history of bytching about other athletes getting praised for taking a paycut....ZERO.

It's phony.

Go ahead and play dumb dude. He wasnt just traded cause Charlotte didn't want him. He wanted to go were it would be best for him win.

So he was kinda playing the fa role before he even entered the L. Who else does that?

But Bron get shyt on for what he did. What exactly did he do wrong?

He was drafted fam. He didn't force his way out of Charlotte

When Bryant got the better of Jones in the workout after having gone one-on-one against Lakers defensive specialist Michael Cooper, who tried to muscle the teen-ager and rattle him, West reportedly turned to an aide and whispered, "I've seen enough, let's go."

Armed with the knowledge that the Hornets were in the market for a post player, West made a pre-draft deal with Bass in which the Hornets would draft Bryant if he were still available and later swap his rights to Los Angeles for Divac.

Never said what Bron did was wrong. But I can see why people think he's a bytch for running to play with Wade and Bosh.

You're entitled to your opinion:beli:


But if a player threatens for a trade if the team isn't constructed around them, that's not being a "bytch"?

It's just dumb all around. Players empowering themselves by any means necessary is far from being a bytch. It's ok if a GM does it, but if a player does it "it's being a bytch."

Niqqas are just dumb.

The Lakers had a deal in place with the Hornets before the draft. If Kobe fell to them they would trade him to the Lakers for Divac. Who at the time was one of the best centers in the NBA.
Lebron took a paycut so the heat could afford 2 other stars and role players.....those are Lebron and wades words, not mine


The Lebron dikkriding is so out of control that people have spun that into him being a competitor :dead:

In my eyes a competitor plays nba 2k13 on the hardest difficulty

Let some of y'all tell it a competitor plays on the easiest difficulty and uses codes because he wants to win

I'm not knocking Lebron but y'all are ridiculous for praising him taking a paycut
There is no state income tax in Florida. So Lebron did not take a pay cut.

When did you get your mind reading certificate bruh?

This has nothing to do with Kobe

I've never praised athletes for paycuts. I never said you can't praise it I said don't spin it into being competitive.
You bron Stan's are something else right now :dead: I still love you though bruh

No...it has nothing to do with being a "stan." It's just dumb to act like Bron taking a pay cut invented getting praised for it.

You've seen it and never had a problem until Bron received praise for it.

Never said when Kobe threw his tantrums he wasn't fair game to be criticized though. I could see why he would get criticized for it, same reason why I could see Bron get heavily criticized for what he did.
