he was such a scared pussy bitch and feared failure so much that he chose to team up with the greatest competition he could to win championships that he could not win before.

Would you say this about Shaq, Ray, or KG?

Winning isn't all on the players, Chad. You could be the greatest player to have ever lived, but you might not win one ring if you play for a below average coach on a team with horrible management.

Probably cause he says things like

quote:

"I don't flop"


or

quote:

"“All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point.”







I like him though

who did shaq team up with in LA. Kobe wasn't KOBE at the time. I would have no problems if LBJ went somewhere cause he was mega star in mega town. He went somewhere to play with other Mega talent cause he feared failure.

raise your hand if you believe that, generally speaking, making decisions that put you in a better position to succeed is a bad idea?

DH is a douche no matter how you slice it. He could save kids from a burning house and still be a douche in my eyes


...ok that's a little extreme but you get the point.

any move he could have made would have been a better position. Hell, he even took less money to go there cause he was so scared to not win elsewhere. He's a gigantic pussy. Did michael take less money places cause he was scared he didn't have enough surrounding talent? Or had to make room for two top 10 players. frick No. Lebron made a decision OUT OF FEAR.

I do not hate James. I don't blame him for going to Miami. He had a contract, it was up and he made a ton of money for Gilbert. Miami is a great place to be a young, rich athlete.

I do acknowledge the truth. In a tight playoff game in the last 2 minutes, he is a nervous wreck who turns the ball over. He joined a super team so he could lean on other players in crunch time

Game 6 was a great example of what I'm talking about. I only laugh when it happens because all of the GOAT and clutch talk. It is what it is.

I don't want the heat to win because I don't care for wade or bosh. I think lebron is more likeable than ever

Whether you are traded or acquired via FA makes no freaking difference.

What the frick you talking about. Orlando made the decision to trade him. Dwight had a bit of say so with a handful of teams he desired. He was traded to LA with no promises of a future contract. Get that shite out of here.

I just don't get how people can overlook the fact that the Heat needed 6 points in 22 seconds to save their season. LeBron gets bashed for making 3 of them instead of 6.

And LBJ > Michael in elimination games.

MJ had a competent owner in Krauss, LBJ did not in Gilbert.

You seem really hung up on knowing LNB's motivations. Again, people struggle with logic in sports. Other factors just may have existed. Maybe he wanted an easy road. Maybe he wanted to live by the beach. Maybe he wanted to play with his friend DWade. Maybe he was bored in CLE.

No one knows, yet you seem confident. Red flag.

To be fair, Dwight had a contract offer and turned in down, which I promise you the Lakers are so glad he did now!
