Dr. J was a fuggin badass too.


The NBA will never be what it was. The talent-level is the best it's ever been, but the allure is not the same, nor will it ever be again.

Lebron brought in Love, who else did he bring on?

Irving "carried them" in 2 games Lebron had triple doubles

without all his points, lebron doesnt get his triple double

You'd need like a 150 million dollar salary cap to put together some of those lakers teams.

Cleveland is at $127M, by far the most in the league

You can bet your ass Magic wouldnt demand $30M a year, like the 280 lb shooting guard in Cleveland

Dude, he'd take every dime he could. He'd be stupid not to. He's very successful but basketball didn't make him as rich as he is. I don't understand why people expect other people to give away money. It's his skill and if he wants to maximize his earnings then more power to him.

Who hear would give up maybe 15 million in a long term contract for "the sake of winning". I wouldn't. That's just stupid.

thats because you have like $150 in the bank

If you already have millions upon millions, but no rings, why not give up some money for a ring or two?

LeBron is the biggest motherfucker on the court and is a glorified shooting guard

If he had half of Magic's competitiveness, he'd have a lot more rings
Magic had Kareem and James worthy to play with. If LeBron had two teammates like that the Cavs would be almost unbeatable.

I wouldn't do it if it were my job. The dollars I'm giving up is going to someone else that doesn't deserve it as much as I do. That's all based on the preface that I have the ungodly skills that these guys do, which isn't the case.

As opposed to Wade, bosh, Irving and Love?

Why don't you post the stat lines of Bosh, Irving, and Love in their finals appearances with Lebron?

He also had to beat teams of Hall of Famers every year

LeBron had to beat Curry,and had to ride the coattails of a proven winner in miami
