He's still a piece of shit in my book. When will you fucking retards all learn that I really don't give a fuck what y'all say or try to convince me to think otherwise?
JFC, just let it go.
You said you didn't watch LBJ because he's a shitty person. If you'd have just said, 'I don't watch LBJ often because I only have time to really follow my team," no one would be giving you shit. You're just a homer who hates LBJ for whatever dumb reason you've come up with.
LBJ left a pathetic team. That's it. He didn't rape anyone or sleep with a team mate's wife. By professional sports standards, LBJ is a saint.

I know I'm not going to convince an idiot like yourself of anything. It's just fun to ridicule dumb assholes.

But leaving his team means he doesn't have any heart! He should have stuck with the Cav's where he could have went on to retire without winning a ring. It worked beautifully for Ewing, I'm sure as he looks back at his HOF level career he's thinking "no rings, but I stayed loyal to the Nicks!"
HAHAHA!
I can actually picture Ewing thinking it was the "Nicks".
KG said sticking around wasting his prime in Minnesota was a huge mistake that he wishes he could take back. He tells all the young guys not to make the same mistake he did.
Lebron and Wade said they needed their "Big 3" in response to the Celtics Big 3. They both kept being eliminated at the hands of the Celtics in the playoffs. The Celtics D forced the ball out of their hands and made the second or third best guy on the roster beat them, which the Heat and Cavs both lacked.

Watch the emotional release by Lebron and Wade as they finally got past the Big 3.
How did Dirk get to the finals twice and win one of them against the Miami big 3?
I thought everyone needed all NBA teammates or they are up shit creek?
6 quarters instead of a dollar.
The Mavs did have the best defensive center in the NBA, an over the hill Hall of Famer and a laundry list of past their prime former all stars. Dirk had teammates, they just represented the long tail.
The Mavs got hot at just the right time for a big playoff push, shooting lights out. The Heat on the other hand were still jimmying with their roster and figuring out how to play with each other.
Lebron took a paycut to leave. He is currently the 13th highest paid player in the league despite being clearly a step above everyone else. To him winning is more important than money, or the ego boost of being the highest paid player in the league.
There is plenty to appreciate about the guy if you give him the smallest of chances.

Lebron couldn't do it himself.
Lebron couldn't do it himself. Face it.
When all is said and done Lebron will go down as the GOAT. He won the genetic lottery the only thing that can stop him is a career ending injury.
He is top 5. Doesn't have the centers that Kobe had though.
But I thought we were all "witnesses" to the truth that is King James? Surely if a man can drag a team to the championship it should be your highness?
It's weird how morans like dougp go on and on about LBJ being a terrible piece of shit, while they don't say the same thing about KG. LBJ hasn't done anything KG did already.
Funny how all the LBJ haters seem to forget Shaq, too. He left a pretty good Magic team for the Lakers. Does that tarnish all his Lakers championships? :rolleyes"
Lebron's mistake was not going free agent the moment he could. It was obvious that Cleveland would never produce a supporting cast that could help him win a ring. Of course, Cleveland could pay him more money than a new team, so I can't really blame him for staying.
Actually, Lebron took a Cleveland team to the finals all by himself. Are you retarded?

He seriously did, people seem to forget this. He had one "All Star" teammate that was only an All Star because of LeBron. Nobody wins by themselves.
That's what I've found. I was rooting against The Heat in 2011 and thought LBJ was some kind of traitor/asshole or whatever, but after they lost in the championships I didn't care as much. Last season I started to realize that aside from being one of the greatest basketball players of all time, he's actually a pretty decent guy.
He didn't win by himself, and he got swept by a team that still tends to get ignored.
Don't forget that Gibson had the most points for the Cavs in Game 1 - where was James? His entire team wasn't scrubs as much as people try to play that card - he had good players in Ilgauskas, Varejao, Gooden, and Hughes as well as Gibson and Brown. Are they All-Stars? Nope, but why do you act like All-Stars are what makes a difference in the Finals? It's a popularity contest. LBJ may have carried that team but they weren't all scrubs.
