He had some teammates over the years that weren't total wastes of space, but name one time he had more than one legit second option. That year with Shaw doesn't count. He was done and everybody knew it

epic.

statistical evidence from player opinions that pretty much sum up anyone's opinion who isn't taking LBJ's dick deep down their throat's .

Uhh, Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison?

never mind that the Cavs actually had the cap room to snag a really good FA the year LeBron left. At worst they would have ended up with David Lee and had a very good chance of landing Bosh.

The selections of Kobe and MWP as Lebron defenders showed that most of these guys don't have the slightest fricking idea what they're talking about.

Who in the hell would give up half their salary just to play with LeBron... That's just retarded. These guys have a relatively small Window of top earning potential for their lifetime. I get giving up a little to win a title after you've ensured your stability, but giving up half? frick that. What a stupid, tmz like "article"



Ray Allen, Birdman, and Greg Oden just recently gave up more than 50% of their salary or what they were offered to go with the heat..

Ray Allen is prime example of someone who has made a ton of money giving up a bit to make a run. When knows on Oden. As far as birdman, he seems legitimately happy to be in a stable situation in life.

I'm referring to guys in the prime of their careers taking half simply to play with Lebron. I think the heat organization, hot foreign chicks on the beach/clubs,Miami itself is a draw too.

I was thinking the same thing. I should take such a paycut.

Natural talent vs hard work question reeks of the fact the he's the most genetically gifted athlete we may have ever seen.
all NBA players are genetic freaks. yes, you can say LBJ is perhaps the top specimen, but melo is mega talented, too. he just doesnt have LBJ's intangibles.

plus that all ignores that lebron works his arse off

what other aspect of his game does he need to master before people kill the myth that he doesn't work?

yeh, you're right. NBA players who face LBJ at least twice a year know absolutely nothing about the leauge they play in or the playes they play against.

There are issues with this, but I'm not sure it's LeBron's fault. I've heard from Cleveland fans that LBJ kept pressuring them to bring in guys to help him (that makes sense) and he was somewhat helping decide who would join (not sure I buy that). They spent $ on guys like Shaq etc who played 1 year. Cleveland just didn't buy the right guys, even if they tried

Cleveland tried to bring in talent they were just awful at it. Also no one should respond to Klark Kent he's either a master troll or someone who's too stupid to debate with
