Go Heat. Love LeBron too much not to. Who needs LeBron to be knocked down a peg? When he retires, Anthony Davis will still be a Pelican and he'll be entering his prime. So go Heat!

I am rooting 100% against the Heat for their uncompetitiveness and collusion among players. Heat can all eat individual bags of dicks.

But as long as the Heat keep winning, more and more superstars are going to continue to try to go team up with other superstars in a large market to win a title because they think its the only way it can be done.


Which is why Jordan is the GOAT and Lebrongency will never be. Jordan built a dynasty. Lebron joined an all-star team.

Screw the Heat. At least the Spurs earned it.

And for whoever accused the Spurs of being floppers, true, but the Heat are just as bad or worse.

jordan had the luck of competent management and lucky management to surround him with championship-caliber talent

you can't compare 2 players based on how effective their GMs are/were. that's insanity

I feel like teams like the Heat and Clippers have become so much worse than the Spurs though

Probably because the Spurs are on TV like 1/10th the amount those two teams are.


The Spurs are the GOAT Floppers.

Geez when do you think LeBron is going to retire? Or how long do you think it will take AD to reach his prime?

Davis will start playing at MVP level at around 24. Hell get into LeBron level play by around 27 or 28 years old. Lebron will be in his mid 30s and out of his amazing prime by then

@Jester Jordan was drafted into a very large market, who just so happened to draft great talent around him. Like Scottie pippen. And they made great trades to get guys like Rodman. Michael Jordan was essentially drafted into the heat of his time. LeBron on the other hand was drafted to an incompetent franchise in a small market who never put any major players next to LeBron nor did they make any effort to. What's the best they put by him? Mo Williams, aging Shaq, Anderson verajao. That team was going to expect LeBron to put the entire fate of the franchise on his back until he retired.


If you just want to shrug off my past statements as just opinions, here are some nice facts for you. Take Jordan off of his team for two years and the bulls made it to the second round two years in a row. Ranking 5th and 3rd in the conference in those two years. Take LeBron off of the cavs and they become the second worst team in the NBA.


Its pretty simple, LeBron is not dirty. He's not an a-hole for leaving Cleveland to get into the situations that players like Bird, Magic, and Jordan were lucky enough to be drafted into. He is a flopper, but he's not the only one and it hasn't taken away from his game, nor did it take away from jordan's career because he definitely did his fair share. He's an elite player. The second best of all time and by the time his career ends he will be the best. So you can hate and keep spewing ignorant statements all you want. It wont matter.
