Exactly, they had their teams. And they were content to COMPETE with that. Not leave those teams and run to each other. Thanks for proving my point.

None of the Big 3 are making max money, so they have most definitely taken a paycut, as they could all be on max contracts in Miami.


pay cut pre taxes yes, but they were even saying when Lebron signed that he post taxes makes more in Miami than he would with max money in lets say NYC

Winning BY ITSELF is not the ultimate goal for COMPETITORS. They want to win more than anything in the CONTEXT of a challenge/competition.

That's why Lebron isn't really a competitor.


Wow. That is the dumbest thing I've ever read on the MSB. Congratulations.

And Jordan would have stuck around on Chicago had they never gotten Pippen? Players have no control over who the front office signs or drafts, so players are meant to just stay on teams, no matter how crappy their teammates are?

Wasn't Kobe asking for a trade also between the Shaq and Gasol/Bynum eras? It's easy to fall onto a team that has the most dominant center in modern NBA on it

This doesn't make any sense.

So, are you saying that you should win championships REGARDLESS if there are other HOF'ers on your team or not?

Why do the players have to take so much responsibility for what type of team they play for? What about the coaches and the front office?

So your point, or LOGIC as you say, is they were content to play with a bunch of other Hall of Famers, and Lebron should have made Mo Williams and Verajao hall of famers?

Because old people always think "everything was better in my day", doesn't make them right.

Because Jordan, Magic AND Bird were all on loaded teams and are too ignorant to realize anything else?

They were content because they were playing with fricking future hall of famers. Can someone really be this stupid?

Take what you're saying to it's logical extreme. If ALL one should care about it winning why did the greats even bother coming up into the NBA? They could have won 100% in a youth basketball league.

Winning trumps ALL context. Who needs the NBA?? Let's beat 10 year olds!

Signed,

Lebron and the MSB

Go look at the teams they were on. They didn't need to.

Are you that fricking stupid.

I'm pretty sure the Celtics and Lakers teams had 4 HOF's on their rosters
