I think it's the easier route because he went to a team were he won't be the leader. Now he's just alot more hated then Loved around the league. It's the easy route to me because ppl like Rip are already saying he gets a chip.
Theres been plenty more experts that think it's a dumb decision but you're not agreeing with them..
It's not just the raptors my dude..
I'm just saying, you make it seem like it's a far-fetched idea, when I'm clearly not the only one with this opinion.
It's not just you I'm just saying others like you lead me to believe that it's the easy route to a chip.
It doesnt matter they were watching the playoffs just like us. Bill simmons said it best
I just look at all the reasons why I've hated this guy for so long and how this move negates a lot of that. I personally don't think Lebron is all that great of a leader but he's a phenomenal player. I think this move is a great move for him and I think having to adjust his own game to play along with 2 fellow All-Stars will do his career a lot of good. All this bullsh-t about him "betraying" or be "selfish" is ridiculous. The guy has his money, his endorsements, all his fame...he just wants a damn ring. Nothing wrong with wanting to taste that type of success and I can't blame any athlete that fulfills a contract and responsibility with one team...only to move onto another, in hopes of chasing a dream.
What is the difference on when he wants to ring chase? If he ring chased later in his career, me might of never got it. He is smart to do it now. You don't know if CLE would of ever got him the pieces to win the title. They might of, by why take that risk.
So you're saying its okay to chase a ring when you're in your 30's...but not in you're mid-20's? The guy has been in the league for 7 years, has already accomplished individual greatness, and is constantly compared to fellow greats that have the rings on their fingers. I don't see you're point.
I agree, I was just saying that he's getting a lot of love now that he's out of Canada.
He's not a superstar. Point blank......we're not playing the if game right. Superstars guarantee a average of around 45-50 wins, sell tickets, and be the best player on a contending finals team. He's a all-star yeah but thats not saying much since BJ armstrong was once a all-star. Look im not a bosh hater but he's not a superstar. There's probably only around 5-6 superstars in the league at max.
Yes, this may be the best opportunity to chase a ring Lebron will ever get. Wait too long and it might end up being too late. Wasn't it Kevin Garnett that said something about, "...loyalty means nothing when it comes to getting yourself a championship ring..."?
