The worst decision dude made was going to the Lakers. That being the organization he played with the most is so fukking weird. At least he was able to win a championship.
When he retires expect an expose of his overreach and prima Donna ways.
I’m a Bron fan he should pack it up after year 25.
He should just pack it up after this year; 23 years will set the record for longest career ever. End this shyt, he needs to figure out where he wants to go, and call it a career after this year...
He's been in a gradual, but annual, decline, ever since popping his hamstring Year 1 in LA. They won the title the next year....but he has never been the same player he was before then, nor should he have been, he was 34 and Year 16 when that happened. Its a clear line of demarcation, from his impact and capabilities perspective...
I can understand after winning the title, wanting to run it back. And I can understand chasing the scoring record. There's nothing left there, after 2023, 20 years in, he should have called it quits, woulda went out on a high of a WCF run...
Instead he's gonna potentially go out ugly the way a player of his caliber never should, its turning into some Aaron Rodgers shyt...
The play always should have been to stay in The East, either going back to Miami or, I remember the Sixers were a good landing spot at the time (2018). The Heat had two more Finals runs in the following 5 years, with mid rosters and Jimmy Butler as the franchise player. They woulda built a contending team for him; he woulda won the same ring he won in LA, and because he would have played in multiple Finals, he could have won another...
Going to LA, I guess I understand, I wouldn't have done it, but I get it. This listless franchise has shown many times over though, in the 7 years he's been there, that they aren't the most savvy basketball people around, and they should be held accountable for their missteps since he's been there----->I'm okay with then showing him the door, though!
Both sides have reached a point where neither is useful to the other anymore...
I'm a Bron guy straight up and down and believe, with zero qualms or hesitation, that he's the greatest basketball player of all time. I have ZERO question, but ultimate confidence, about that...
But I've been ready for him to retire, end this dumb shyt and go home. Ready for this nikka to go...
