So what?

This is my problem with you and Boom. You are obviously just trolling.

Real people have self awareness and self deprecation, they will call out their favorite teams and be intellectually honest about things.

Read the article. Admit that "damn this is a bad look" or "this organization is not doing well right now", or just continue on and no one has anyone respect for you whatsoever.

Yes, which is why the parts of the article about Paul aren't a good look for LeBron.

This also is a baaaaad look for Adam Silver


Silver is a spineless pussy who is afraid to stand up to the players. He lets players walk all over him.

I don't think it is for Silver. Paul approached him, said stuff and Silver didn't do anything.

Other than not telling Paul to shut up, Silver did zilch to change the situation. I can see why Silver wouldn't be an a-hole to Paul and not let him say something.

"There was one time when Kobe, who I worked with for 18 years, was going back to play in Madison Square Garden, and he had just seen 'The Dark Knight,'" Pelinka said. "Obviously, you guys saw that movie, and he's like, 'Hey, hook me up with dinner with Heath Ledger, because he got so locked into that role. I want to know how he mentally went there.' So, he had dinner with Heath, and he talked about how he locks in for a role.
"And Kobe used some of that in his game against the Knicks."
"The Dark Knight" was released in July 2008, six months after Ledger died. A source with direct knowledge said no such arrangement was made and no dinner ever took place.

ESPN should 100% credit the Emmy Award-Winning NBA Desktop from the Ringer Network with this story...but they won't.

I don't think it's a great look that there is a perception out there that you can even approach Silver with ideas like this.

And then Lebron got the coach fired and tried to get the guy he wanted hired.
It blows my mind that y’all somehow think Lebron running the show is a bad thing with what y’all have seen from the decision makers in this organization

He is part of those bad decisions

Just like he was part of the bad decisions in Cleveland

It blows the minds of normal NBA fans that you and others won’t admit his culpability in ANY of the drama that just magically seems to follow him

He plays for bad organizations with average to bad coaches who are extremely young and inexperienced head coaches.

Lebron demands a frick ton from everyone in an organization and brings the biggest spotlight and microscope of all time with him.

I don’t defend everything he does. Not even close and you know it. It seems like it because of the incredible amount of dumb shite y’all come up with about him and I also answer and argue with most trolls.

There's way too many bad cooks in the kitchen, Lebron just one of the chefs.

Him and Kyrie going apeshit in the Finals against a less than 100% Warriors team got them a title.

I mean the guy had one of the greatest Finals performances ever. Let’s not act like he orchestrated some magical behind the scenes chess match to make that happen.

Getting his boys paid and the fallout with Kyrie (Kyrie is crazy, I won’t put on Bron) helped keep them from championshipS (plural), as you put it.

I genuinely don’t know that, because that is far from the persona you present on here.

You’re a smart guy, so I’m sure you have some objectivity. You just rarely show it on this board.

LeBron is a black hole for any organization at this point in his career. He’s a clown show in and of himself.
