Can't blame him.

quote:

LeBron James says the Rockets are still a dangerous team, but shares that he wasn’t too interested in signing with Houston in the offseason


quote:

Although they missed out on the three-time champion, the Rockets went on to sign Carmelo Anthony, a close friend of both James and Paul

Nobody wants to play Harden, he’s a chump.

Lebron was dying to join CC until Hardwn let him know he wasn’t welcome per back channels and elite insider CyberX

Lebron knew what a fluke team the Rockets were. No way was he joining them. They don’t have a legacy like LAL, BOS, SAS, there is no allure like MIA, NYK. Rockets are just your run of the mill, middle of the pack nba team that people forget about when they pop in NBA2k.

Imagine a team of CP3, Eric Gordon or Tucker, aCapella, LeBron and Harden attempting to guard Curry Klay KD Draymond and Boogie or Iggy.

Would be comical.

To be fair: it’s going to be comical for basically all teams.

This is weird because Boom just told me in the Kobe's peak thread that it was CP3 that didn't want to play with Lebron.

quote:

He also spurned the allure of easy titles with a super team by telling LeBron and then thanks but no thanks. He should be lauded for that.

Well there’s the truth and there’s the nice way to say it.

Kinda like how Kevin said other starts don’t wanna play with LeBron bc they play the same style of play. When in actuality guys don’t wanna play with him bc he is a glory hog and when you win the title with him it is lebrons title. Lebrons team. Etc etc. the guys ain’t work their whole lives for LeBron to come and glory hog it all.

no player ever has gotten to use the ‘didn’t have enough help’ as much as LeBron. if the guy don’t have two other hall of famers in MIA he prob has no titles tbt. He surely isn’t winning a title now til the end of his career unless that squad has three HOFer on it. At least. He is not a hardwn who can push GOAT to the brink of elimination without even having a single teammate on the all star squad.

That version of GSW wouldn’t have even won 50 games. Curry and iggy barely getting around. No Andy bogut. Andy varejao playing meaningful minutes. That was not them in GOAT form.
