Remember when Kobe quit a few times to send a message? LeBron can only do so much on his own. Kobe could only do so much on his own. Dudes need help man. Neither one of them was getting it. Admit it.
Kobe did quit but luckily for him that didn't last.
I dont think so. Maybe mike with the cavs and Phil Jackson as the coach...Then yea maybe they win something.... Lebron wanted out of Cleavland. Face it. He wanted to play with his friends..They may still not even win the title. Your just mad that he is not a Knick. Just own up to it. If he was in NY right now you would have 10 Jerseys. Get over it.
Micahel, against this weak league would w/o question have won at leasta title in the last 3-4 years w/ Cleveland and probably more than one.
I am NOT a Knick fan, I am NOT an NBA fan. NBA basketball is boring, the finals last year was some of the worst played basketball I have ever seen so let's put this notion to bed that I wanted Lebron. As a basketball fan I did want him to stay in Cleveland and help get that franchise over the hump cementing his legacy in this game but he took the easy way out which is disappointing as a basketball fan.
By the way, this notion of "handed to him" is foolish. This is the NBA. This is professional basketball. Whatever you get is earned. Nothing is handed to anyone.
They still have to win but it's alot easier to win when you join an all-star team. He wanted a ready made team, he didn't want to keep building in Cleveland. He had teams good enough to win 60+ games in Cle but b/c he couldn't get it done in the playoffs they didn't win and he jumped ship to play w/ another superstar.
Exactly, and why the hell should he leave it up to Gm's and coaches who he plays for. He had 32 teams wanting his services. He found 2 other guys that he trusts and decided, hey I wanna play with them in the greatest city in the world.
He didn't go to New York, he went to one of the best vacation Cities in the world.
