"Hey, thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I’m glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it’s not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college, I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship in my last year, and nine in between. That, Mr. James, is etched in stone"

You don't understand Team Sports Lebron....


I won this
I won that
I won that again
I won
I I I I I I I I


sounds a bit hypocritical Mr. Russell to chastise someone about teams, than use "I" about a zillion times bragging about your wins.

The zero-class way LeBron left Cleveland should disqualify from any such memorial.

If I believed in karma I would say that he will probably have karmic debt to pay for at least 1 more incarnation. \

Henceforth I plan to refer to him as "LeBadKarma James," or "LBKJ"

The decision was a bad idea. Other than that, I have no problem that he left.

Joe Barry Carroll > Bill Russell

Bill Russell needs to shut up and enjoy the undue adulation he receives as one of the most over-rated athletes ever.

Honestly, I rethink my Rushmore.

Kareem, MJ and Bird and Magic.


Russell gets his own mountain.

Russell and Wilt get their own little hill somewhere.

Kareem, MJ, Magic and Bird for me.

Bill Russell is UNDER-rated, not over-rated.

That is all too typical of players who specialize in defense rather than offense.
