I actually thought Lebron should have gone to Chicago. They have a rising star and PG in Derrick Rose. They have a feisty center in Joakim Noah. He reminds me of Dennis Rodman. Boozer is a good low post player though he has injury history. And by signing with Miami, they won't have much $ to put together the rest of the team.

Noah reminds you of Rodman?

Yeah. Both are feisty, dive on the floor for the ball players. Very emotional. Their offense is really not the best part of their game, but Noah's is better than Rodman. Both are good defenders. Both just very unique individuals with definitely their own styles. Look at the suit Noah wore during the draft.

I see your point with some of the similar things they do, but Rodman was an entirely different monster. Rodman was Artest, more hardcore, before there was Artest. Noah doesn't have that level of crazy in him. Rodman was a friggin loose canon.

Yes, very true. I made the comparison to Rodman mostly because of the Bulls connection and he is the closest person I think Joakim is to.

Funny, because this is who I think of:

loool...that's why he wanted to give Lebron a max contract? Wow...he is just shooting on his own foot. He is just making sure that no star will ever ever come to Cleveland to play for him.

One of the most deadly 3-point shooters in NBA today. Has history of injuries, but he will get more open looks than ever.

If the Warriors lucked into Lebron James, I wouldn't be depressed at all if he left us after 7 years of terrible teammates

This is pretty much how i feel about it.

Agreed. Can you really hate the guy for going to the team where he thinks he can win best? Gimme a break. You're telling me you guys wouldn't go to a team most stacked to win a ring?!?!

Not when Im at talented as LeBron and have the opportunity to call myself the GOAT when my career is all said and done assuming I play it all right...he HAD a lot to win and a lot to lose pending how he played his future...I dont even think leaving Cleveland would have obliterated his legacy the way going to Miami has, it obviously would have been GREAT for his legacy to stay in Cleveland, but even a move to the Nets, Bulls, or Knicks would have been okh for his legacy...

But nope...now his legacy is beyond tarnished...its simply dead...

Not surprised this is the reaction of Kobe fans.

Plural?

Hes indirectly saying my ability to post so much and with so much detail makes it seem like there are multiple GameOver's when in reality, there is only one...one Chosen 1...GameOver...lol

But please, Im a Laker fan first, Shaq fan second, Hibachi fan 3rd, Kobe fan 4th, so if you're gonna call me by a name, please say the first 3 seeing how they are more appropriate or else you are just picking the title you want to hear and disrespecting my fanhood for the sake of your argument

I didn't mean to single you out, but it does seem to be the general consensus of many a laker fan which in turn is usually a kobe fan

I understand your logic, no harm meant, no harm done...but wouldnt my opinion also be the same for a Jordan fan? For a Magic fan? For any fan of a player who did the same as those guys did? And is it so wrong to have wanted that from a player as talented as Bron was? For him to achieve greatness, to win rings, and to do it all where he started?

Mind you, for those who might have missed the memo (lol if you have), I probably am the biggest LeBron hater in this world (well, after today, maybe not as much as some guys in Ohio lol), used to call him LeBot for quite some years, so yeah, just so that we get all the titles out of the way, Laker fan, Shaq fan, Hibachi fan, Kobe fan, LeBron HATER, well, honestly, I guess just GLOBAL HATER in general would be a more fitting title for myself since I hate all types of people, organizations, entities, all over the world, and with a passion

The thing is, compared to those other guys you just mentioned, LeBron is at a huge disadvantage based on location alone. Say what you want but Cleveland is a s**t-hole, nobody wants to play there, the market is too small for the owner to really turn a profit and be able to go out and be able to assemble a quality team around him like Buss and Reinsdorf were able to do for Magic/Kobe/MJ. Let's get real, it's a nice story and all, oh future superstar gets drafted by hometown team, championships, fairytale ending, blah blah blah. It just doesn't work that way. People actually want to live where Magic, Kobe and MJ played. Joakim Noah is right in everything he says about Cleveland. Maybe LeBron enjoys the beach life. I know I do. If I had the means, i would be living somewhere along the coast down in SoCal. but I got a beach where I live right now, so it's not all too bad, even though I'm only able to enjoy it during the summer months.

My point is, I just don't see what the big deal is. Why so much hate just because 3 very talented guys decided to go to the same team to play a game in a location that they'll enjoy being in?

I'm pretty sure these guys had their heart set on playing together, the opportunity was there for them, they hit free agency at the same time, a handful of teams set aside enough money to make it possible, it was just a matter of where they all wanted to go.

Had they all gone to the Knicks/Nets/Clips, would you still feel the same about lebron as you do now? Or is it just because he made a 1-hour ESPN special? If so, I think it's a pretty petty reason to hate on the guy in all honesty.

Yessir... notice how I intentionally left out the word all

And you also left out the word some.




Made my post that much more intriguing, no?

I think there are two reasons for it -

1) Heat is now the biggest threat to Lakers 3peat...regardless of what anyone says right now about not having a full team.
2) It has been debated here and pretty much anywhere there are basketball fans - who is the best player in NBA right now...Lebron or Kobe? So if Lebron acts like a spoiled brat, make Laker fans will come out with pitch-forks. Just like fans of other teams tend to do against Kobe.

Yeah that's pretty much what I was implying without spelling it out.

Yeup...and that was on a s**tty team. Pretty damn good signing if you ask me. He will space the floor for Lebron and Wade to get to the basket.

Dang Miller will be a pretty good complementary players. Riley knows how to win championship he will find some good players even with the vet minimum. The man have five rings.

I don't understand everyone hating on him (them) though for this. How many times we ask ourselves - why don't these athletes take a little less and go to a better team. Why don't NBA superstars take less money to help out the owner to bring in better players. These guys are doing just that...that too in the PRIME of their careers and ppl are blasting them.

Fine, Lebron made it a circus for a week...but it's a week, in the month of July where there is nothin' on tv except 7584th game of the baseball season. All this legacy stuff - c'mon let's be serious. If he wins several titles - his legacy will be one of the greatest players who put team before himself by taking less money. People will soon forget this 1 week if he wins multiple championships. Trust me.

Pat Riley is the biggest reason why all 3 of these guys decided to go to Miami, IMO. They trust him, they know what you just said.

Oh I already knew that even before this thread, I'm not directing all of this only at GameOver.. my perception from what I've read and seen is that a lot of people are having similar feelings to GameOver's after today's events, so i just decided to quote him and go from there.

And I pretty much have a similar opinion to yourself about all this.
