how was kobe a hof player when he was a damn rookie out of high school

please nikka, start to make some sense... this is embarassing

bron - hof player and mvp
wade - hof player and finals mvp
bosh - perrennial all star
So when you're a HOF player, you must follow the "system."

You need to make sense you're moving the goal posts now.

So Miami didn't do a sign and trade with Cleveland to acquire Lebron?

What's the difference between a GM making a trade and Lebron making a move? So it's absolutely fair for a great front office to put talent around a player but it's unfair for a player to make a move have talent put around him?

those nikkas didnt buddy up and plan that shyt amongst themselves... if you cant see the difference in that youre just too dumb. sorry :mjlol:

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
What was he supposed do? Wait for Dan Gilbert to get him help?
You see how inept that front office is.

I hope you're not one of those guys who think Jordan or Magic or Bird did it by themselves
people forget jordan didn't win for 9 years... he stayed with the bulls that whole time.. demanding they get more people.. picking out players he wanted to play with and demanding they got them... even if they were bad choices, or bad teams... he stayed that whole time... losing constantly in the playoffs

but he stayed... bird and magic i'll give you... but again... when they stopped winning.. and their teams had no shot... they still didn't leave.. ever

of course you need stars.. nobody ever said he didn't.. but why couldn't he do exactly what wade did??? colluded with some free agents and convinced them to come play with the THE KING?

So it only counts if you're a HOF player and you get used in a sign and trade?

So we're faulting Lebron for using the Free Agency and not wasting away in a garbage organization? That sounds fair. I wish Lebron was like Kobe and forced the Hornets to trade him rather than trying to make it work with Cleveland.
You must have ignored everything else I've said in my other posts. Once again, I'm not faulting him for using free agency to leave Cleveland to go to a better situation cause Fukk Cleveland, but I can't just act like him going to Miami and teaming up with wade and bosh was fair or commendable. I'm damn sure not gonna give him the same praise as others who win with way less. My thing is ok you wanna play with better players to give yourself a shot at winning. Ok cool. But don't completely sell out and stack the deck like that. Going to the Heat with those players was overkill and I can't respect it.

kobe forcing his way to LA is no way comparable to 3 players in their prime buddying up to stack the deck to win a championship

you really cant be serious.... apples and oranges

There is no difference. You're just hating. Lebron was signed and traded for multiple draft picks. How is it not a legitimate?

Payton and Malone didn't try to ring chase with Shaq and Kobe?

You said you have to follow some unwritten "system" But Kobe forced himself to LA to play with Shaq and Phil but that doesn't matter you don't call it out.

You don't call out Kobe for the him asking for a trade if the team didn't get help when all he had was Smush parker and Kwame Brown.

It's no apples and oranges, its the exact situation LeBron had. He was on a bad team and didn't get help so he found help on his own.

Stack the fukking deck?

WADE AVERAGED 15.9 PPG on 46% shooting last year! He averaged 22 on 44% shooting the year before and bosh was injured for almost 3/4ths of the entire playoffs during the first year!

If Lebron gets horribly injured in 2011 - to now, do the Heat win anything?

But they've only won 2 championships. We're acting like they've won 4 or 5 in a row or they are on Russell's Celtics path of dominance. They haven't even three-peated yet. Of course its more of a given that they are gonna get there every year because how the East is but them winning it isn't guaranteed like you're making it out to be.
They have just done something only 2 other teams have accomplished. I don't think you realize how insane it is to make 4 straight finals, let alone 3 peat.

SO WADE HASNT BEEN FLABBY IN THE TWO CHAMPIONSHIP RUN?!?

He was fukking injured and getting his knee drained after multiple games while Chris a Bosh was crippled from Indiana on!

Dude, you are obviously hating.
