What's the gotta do with anything?

Chicago's front office made great moves and put a championship caliber cast around Jordan. Cleveland didnt, I dont blame LeBron for leaving.

If you spend 7 years with a team and the best player they can bring in to help you is Mo Williams or old ass Antawn Jamison you got every right to leave.

The Decision was a charity press conference that ended up raising money for a Boys and Girls Club. Was it handled wrong? Yes, but MJ got far worse shyt under his name for people to hold The Decision and leaving the Cavaliers against LeBron

The team was good enough to win 60 games in back to back seasons. Bronze was even MVP in those two seasons. But the front office wasn't good enough?:blink:

Lebron came into a weak era. If Lebron came in today, he would have had a chance to lose for a year or two and get another impact player to play with. When him, CP3, and Melo came into the league, they were already stars and made their teams boarder-line PO teams.

Pippen was the #5 pick. The best Lebron had was Boozer who Cleveland failed on and they never had a pick lower than 10. The best options was an average player at best in that draft.

Bron stans live in their own little world...to people out in the real world Lebron ain't even close to Kobe overall. Five > one its simple math like the GOAT says. Give Bron 7-10 more years and we can reopen this argument.

That's a testament to how good LeBron was those last 2 years in Cleveland. For him to take those teams to back to back 60 win seasons was a huge accomplishment. The Cavs returned the majority of that squad the next season and only won 19 games. That's gotta tell you something about the quality of that team that was around him

If the cavs returned the same team minus lebron, Kobe played the 05 season with basically the same squad from 04.

The season after LeBron left the Cavs returned Mo Williams,Antawn Jamison, JJ Hickson, Anderson Varejao, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon and Boobie Gibson back to the squad. Only LeBron, Shaq, Delonte, and Ilgauskas were gone.

After the Jamison trade and rest of the year the Cavaliers starting lineup was Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, LeBron, Jamison, JJ Hickson. If that team that was around LeBron during his last 2 seasons there was so good how come they couldnt win more than 19 games despite bringing back 4 of their 5 starters?

Kobe virtually did have the same team in the 2004-05 season except for Shaq. Not sure what Kobe got to do with this situation though

If the Lakers were playing well and sitting at the top of the West heading into the All-star break, does Jordan still say this knowing that Kobe could get a 6th ring and possibly a 7th in the next two seasons.

Lebron came into a weak era. If Lebron came in today, he would have had a chance to lose for a year or two and get another impact player to play with. When him, CP3, and Melo came into the league, they were already stars and made their teams boarder-line PO teams.

:what: Any great talent can make their team playoff bound in 1-2 years. Hakeem, Malone, MJ, Drexler all did that for their teams. Its no different today. Jordan played in the East in the 80s when you could win less than 40 games and still make the playoffs. The league today is not watered down. In the 90s, Jordan played in the East when they added Charlotte, Orlando, Miami, and Toronto as expansion teams. That doesn't include bad teams in those days like the Nets and Bucks. You know when Wilt's and Russel's best season and Oscar Robertson's triple double season occurred when the league added expansion teams.

The Cavs 60 win seasons left with Lebron. So idiots need to stop giving the supporting cast of average players props as if they contributed outside of orbiting around Lebron.
