2. Are you calling him a box because the softest player in the league, kevin Durant, lost to brin in the finals?
3. For awhile getting multiple stars on the same teams as been the blueprint. It's nothing new.
4. Should lebron empty his team to d league status so LC can respect him?
5. Was phil jackson a pu$$y coach because he only had mega stars? 2 greatest shooting guards ever and the most dominant center ever?
If you don't like James, that's cool, but because he has other stars on his team is not the reason to dislike him.
calimike is a world-class douche......but hes dead right on this point.i just cannot fathom the petty,bitter jealous hate for this guy...wat the fu.k do people want,him to play with a cast of scrubs and try and work miracles with them as they clang bricks off the side of the rim and dribble balls off their foot all season long just so that he,lebron,can prove he's a "man" and not a pus.sy?????
absolutely feckin absurd and ridiculous...he's been there and done that and got the t-shirt.and guess wat????....IT DOESNT WORK!!!
....in fact,apart from jordan the first time around,id like to hear of one single star in nba history that has taken average,or sub-standard,players to a championship??........bill russel had stars,larry bird had stars,magic had stars,duncan had stars,kobe had stars(or at least one gigantic,monstrous,dominant one).....and on and on and on....surprisingly enuff,you NEED great,or very good,players around you to win in this league.....donyell marshall,boobie gibson and larry hughes aint getting it done,unless in very minor supporting roles.
but in lebrons case,its held against him that he wants to play with good players that play the right way and want to sacrifice to win.
if guys like kobe,carmelo and westbrook werent such world-class knob-ends then maybe more top players would flock to play with them and make the concessions necessary to do so...its because of lebrons ability and reputation that he is a magnet for these type of moves
