LeBron James "I don't believe I have played for a super team"

[Rock Strongo]

Yup, but the thing i try to do is not let the personality interfere with evaluating the player..Most everyone in this forum hates Lebron for the "Decision" and some other stupid things he's done and said, and they dont seperate those feelings when discussing the absolute greatness of him on the basketball court....Again, my dilemma with Beckham

dirt

3-5 in finals

he talks about himself in the third person

you can taste his ego even in defeat...throws teammates under the bus, etc.

I cant penalize a guy for taking teams to finals that shouldnt be there in the first place if not for him

that one team one year?

that one team one year?

That one especially, but do you really think any of the teams he's been on are in the Finals without him on the roster?


He can sign with the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow, and I would pencil the Nets into the Eastern Conference finals next season

You act like the Heat and recent Cavs teams that he went to the finals with didn't have any other all stars or future hall of famers on them.

He isn't exactly lying.

LeBron strikes back: I didn't start superteams

I don't know. A team with Kyrie and Wiggins might not do too bad in a piss-weak East

Not too bad at all, but I wouldnt really give them any more a shot than Wall/Beal or Derozan/Lowry or maybe even a Bucks team on the rise, and of course the Celtics

Id lump them in with those teams in the East

Yeah, Lebron certainly didn't start it. If anything, the Minneapolis Lakers started it in the 50's. As I mentioned earlier, the NBA has always had super teams.

However, him saying he hasn't played for any super teams is pure bullshit.

Also, no free pass on losing to the Warriors because they were viewed as the superior super team.

Nothing Lakers fans want to remember, but didn't Russell beat a '69 Lakers team that had Wilt, West, and Baylor??
I believe Russell was 34?
I believe he played all 48 minutes, all 7 games.
