    The bulls werent stacked like the Cavs? ROFL. ? Ron Harper averaged 20ppg multiple times. Pippen is top50 and was the best perimeter defender alltime. Your argument is Damon Jones? Out of the NBA. Jamario Moon? The former Harlem Globetrotter? ANthony Parker? Id rather have Candace Parker. JJ Hickson wasnt a vet, he was a 1st round pick they wouldnt trade for Amar'e. Amar'e is an all NBA 2nd team selection this season. You're ? ? .

    Scottie was a perennial allstar and ron harper was a proven 20ppg scorer. Lebron didnt have either on his team. That is proven because the franchise fell apart in the same year he left.

    In LeBron's last CLE year, he gave you 30 a game, Jamison gave you 16 a game, Mo gave you 16 a game. That's just those three. Everybody put in something. They weren't bums.

    I didn't mean that ? Hickson was a vet. I went on a separate point. I didn't wanna make another paragraph. The vets referred to Shaq, Jamison...all the old ? .

    Amare is a All NBA 2nd team selection as the leader of a sub 500 Knicks team that were assed out with him at the helm. It's kinda like Ron Harper dropping 20 a game in the 80s in Cleveland and LA Clip.

    The season before he went to chicago he averaged 20ppg. He completely changed his style of play to fit in with chicago. They didnt even have him starting LMAO. He went to that team to be a defensive stopper. They even had him playing out of position, playing PG.

    I don't know why Ron Harper's ability to drop almost 20 a game disappeared for 4 years after he went from playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers to playing with the World Champion Chicago Bulls who could've used his offense, since the Bulls were ASS at the 5, aight at the 4 and he was the 1.

    Because of Ron Harper (with the POTENTIAL ABILITY to score 20 points a game but didn't) helping Scottie Pippen and NOT the Chicago Bull offense being mastered?
    You win again.

    Mike is the GOAT but Kobe is my favorite player and #2 and LeBron is the best in the game as of right now. I'm not hating on LeBron, bruh, but you sure are gobbling on this ? .

    LOL this isnt about lebron to me. I wasnt even a fan of lebron until he came to my team. I respected him as a basketball player. You on the other hand arent understanding the hypocrisy of this situation. Ron Harper was a scorer that sacrificed numbers to fit in the team system. It never took away from his scoring ability. Obviously they didnt need him to score alot because they only had a 2 win differential from the previous season with Jordan, meaning the team as a whole was good. Lebron's team went into instant rebuilding mode. There is no comparison to the depth of either team. Jordan leaves the team and Pippen is allstar game MVP the next year and 3rd in MVP voting. Lebron leaves cleveland and ends up getting the #1 pick cuz they fell apart.

    Sports make ? really crazy I see.

    1) For all these ? saying "60-win" ? , pull up the stats in 2009 vs. Orlando in the EC Finals and in 2010 vs. Boston.

    As many times as I say this, I have still yet to hear an answer: where the ? was LeBron's "team" - Mo Williams, Antwain Jamison, Varejao, Mike Brown offensively-handicapped ass, JJ Hickson. How can a person who watches basketball honestly say LeBron had a squad around him that warranted him to stay after his contract was up, with that "try again" ? ?

    2) No matter where he would've went - NY, Chicago, Dallas, LA, or Miami - he still would've caught some ? . So what the ? ?

    3) The guy hasn't broke any rules, laws, or got caught up in no ? . He left a team. Really, you emotional-? ? If LeBron was on coke, roids, beat his babby mamma, or smacked a random ? in an airport while still playing for Cleveland, you simple Ohio ? would give him pass after pass after pass. But because he leaves, the world thinks he's the biggest ? in sports? The ? outta here.

    Nigs, I'm a Sixer fan. And the Heat beat our ? . But I still respect that dude for doing what HE thought was right. Three more wins, and all this ? is justified. Three more losses, and well....at least he's won a game in the NBA Finals now. Melo, Amar'e, Nash, ? , most of the stars that came into the league since 2000 - not named Dirk or Pau Gasol - can say this ? .

    damn. gotta point there.

    Im actually one of the few people who have neutral feeling about lebron. Dont hate him, dont love him, just respect his game.
    Alot of people feel if you call yourself the chosen one, then you shouldnt try to leave a team, but carry the team you have to the finals like the others.

    But this is a business. I think all lebron had to do was let Cleveland know in advance about his decision and maybe throw a going away party downtown and maybe he would only have been partially hated. lol.

    I just think lebron was ready to get out of Cleveland.

Melo, Amar'e, Nash, ? , most of the stars that came into the league since 2000 - not named Dirk or Pau Gasol - can say this ? .

    Well, I'll go ahead and give my 2 cents on this.

    1) The point is, that the Cavs lost as a team including LeBron - not LeBron did everything and the team did nothing. Orlando and Boston had a plan and destroyed the Cavs. The Cavs players feed off LeBron's assists, doubleteams and they scored a lot of fastbreaks so when that was shut down, they were shutdown. Orlando and Boston were great defensive teams with great offensive minded coaches that knew what the ? they were doing. LeBron got his, of course, but they made sure that the Cavs couldn't break out and do what they normally did. IT'S JUST THAT THEY LOST and LeBron doesn't want to accept the fact that a team with him on it can lose...but it can and it did. Everybody loses.

    That Cavs team won the same way it lost, so stop blaming everybody but one ? .

    2) No... and the main reason is...

    3) It was a ? ? way to go about it. Secret meetings in different locations, with a fleet of vethicles. Publically planned out schedules of interviews with teams, having ? all in the news awaiting to present this ? with a proposal of their roster, plans, location destinations and ? . Getting an hour spot on ESPN to announce where he will sign his next contract to - as if he couldn't just have done it behind the scenes. He strung Cleveland along because he NEVER SAID he was leaving but c'mon son.

    Wade was planning to leave Miami if he had to, Bosh was out of Toronto and all 3 knew they wanted to play together but ONE ? made it a spectacle. One ? . He ain't that special.
    Why he getting leeway to doing ? like this? It ain't hate cause Wade and Bosh were prepared to leave too but they weren't doing it in the same way, so they don't get the hate. Why is that hard to see?

    I respect him for leaving and going where he wanted. I thought it was garbage the way he did it, how big he did it and how it only benefitted him. And he's still not at the level he wants to be cause you can't MAKE an Icon. He's forcing it. He should just play and leave the theatrics alone and it'll come to him like it should.

    And by the way, your Sixers had no chance.

    So, should he had stayed in Cleveland and continue to underachieve? ? that. Free Agency is an option and LBJ chose it. I don't get wtf the problem is. (((shrugs shoulders))).

    I said this before in a few other similar threads on this site about this very same topic. Tell me that you've never had a job where u felt that u weren't going anywhere OR an opportunity presented itself where u could raise up and do better for yourself? LBJ did the same and did it for less money.


    Exactly, had he stayed in Cleveland with that ? lineup they got right now, u would have heard "LeBron can't do it again", so he went somewhere that can help him get a ring.
    If he would have stayed, he would be watching The Finals at home right now and not be in it.
    Dan Gilbert ? up by not getting him help, Pat Riley got Wade help.
    Dan needs to learn from The Lakers owners, The Spurs owners, Boston owners and Pat Riley.
