As a Suns fan, Id take Lebron all day. 

 

As a fan of the NBA I know he is a primadonna, I know he will only go to a good situation.  I know he doesnt get respect from other champs in the NBA.  And I know his legacy will always be clowned on and disrespected for this by the fans, players and media. 

 

If he was a Sun I would say the same exact thing.  So CPR thanks for knowing how I and other people think.

Yea... like there is ever a question with all the super stars in history of the NBA where they were going during contract years while theyre still in their prime.    Again, annoying.    FlSports,

No problem, original point was every team would take him in a heartbeat if he wanted to play for them and fans would look the other way if he chose their team. Sorry, but there's no disputing that.

I don't normally defend these guys, but he's earned his right to be choosy. IMO, this is the current business, and teams don't think twice about trading & moving players around, so why is it so wrong if a player wants to take the reigns?

 

He's a coach's dream-player: works hard & makes sacrifices for the team's benefit, and has a remarkable amount of humility for a superstar. If he went to work for the Magic, I'd be stoked, but that's in the "as if" category. My bet is he stays put.

Problem is he wants to be known as the best ever.  He acts humble but he is far from it.  He wouldnt take advice from Kobe or Jordan when he came in, he said he sets his own path.  The reason they do not have relationships with him. 

 

I agree with "his current business" point.  problem is in the NBA all the superstars/legends stayed place and people came to them, not vice versa.

 

Again kobe rode out really bad years in LA to win them again where he was brought up.  He will be a respected legend forever.  Lebron will be known for going to a partnership of players who took less money to try to game the system and win rings.  crap is corny.

To your first point, Kobe played in LA, Jordan in Chicago, both great cities where stars would love to play. LeBron was stuck in freakin Cleveland with a horrible owner. No other stars were going to play in that dump. To your second point, LeBron stayed in Cleveland for 7 years and took the worst team in the league to an NBA finals with no other stars on the team (that was amazing). When he left, they became one of the worst teams again. He knew he wouldn't be able to attract any other great players because of the city and organization, so he left. Comparing LA and Chicago to Cleveland isn't fair.

So back to the point, what legendary player in the last 30 yrs did not have HOF teammates by his side?

Whats wrong with going out and doing it yourself if management isnt getting it done and is incompetent?
