I like Lebron, but he destroyed loyalty in the NBA.

I’ll give him credit for going home but the genie was out of the bottle after tDecision. There’s literally no loyalty in this sport anymore and the players are just p***ies at this point.

What about Garnett and Allen going to the Celtics in 07?

yea kg, rondo, paul p, and ray allen all in their prime never happend.

That example is a good one but let’s be honest, the tide turned with Lebron.
Posted on 7/2/18 at 10:22 pm to _Hurricane_
He was the first free agent

None of those guys signed there much less took less money to stay together
Posted on 7/2/18 at 10:22 pm to _Hurricane_
So you’re gonna blame what 20 guys are doing because one guy had the idea to do it first?
Nah man. The followers are the weak ones.

It’s not about loyalty or money. It’s about championships. Players have to go where they think they have the best shot to win. The nba created this. As much as I dislike lebron, this isn’t his fault.

Nah gotta give credit to the celtics

There are free agents in all sports, but you don’t see this many superstars jumping ship in other sports. Basketball is getting ridiculous.

Perhaps the salary cap structure in other sports don’t allow such flexibility.

Where was the loyalty then?

Also, teams have never been loyal to players so maybe the players are just following suit and realizing they don't owe loyalty to someone who would put the team needs first over the player 10 times out of 10.

Of course he doesn’t “owe” anything. I think we can all agree it would have been nice for the possible best player of all time to not have to resort to making a super team to win a title. Where did the ‘I wanna beat the best not team up with them’ attitude go? When you have guys like KD saying Lebron “paved the way” for him to go to GSW you gotta give OP some credence.

Rings rings rings, you gotta get rings if you wanna be like Mike.
Now players are focused on getting rings and people are complaining.
I don't know what people thought would happen when the fans and media made rings the standard by which you measure a player.

This doesn't explain lebron's decision.

Yea, The heat beating OKC is what eventually sent Durant to GSW and the flood gates really opened after that.
NBA would be way different if Lebron doesn’t go to Miami. No doubt
