Thread: LeBron to refocus after vacation

BTW, Jordan is/was a WAY bigger douche than LeBron. Like, way bigger. I do find it odd that it was completely ignored in Jordan's case but it's all anyone wants to talk about with LeBron.

If I was MJ I'd probably have been a cocky mother****** too, best of all time, singlehandedly changed the league. I think tho after his pops died it changed him a bit.

I wouldn't say he's the best of all time. He's one of the best but there are several others I put right there with him.

And the $1 million he raised for a Boys and Girls Club that night?

Jordan was the best.

He was also a supreme *******.

Don't know who the best of all time is, but Jordan is really high on the list. Different eras make questions like this nearly impossible to sort out. I guess it comes down to who do you like and often times whom you have seen play. Kind of shorts the players from the distant past.

I think the biggest thing with LeBron is what he did to his home town. I think many equate that to turning your back on family or close friends.

Right or wrong, people will probably always be extremely critical of him for that reason.

Wilt Chamberlain would be in the top five maybe even the top three.

I didn't see the announcement special when he signed with Miami. I haven't had ESPN for a long time. Who was responsible for turning his signing into such a circus back then? Was it him, the network, or both?

Mo, I already said he is a decent guy. What are you arguing? My opinion that the way he went about it was shallow and thoughtless? Good luck with that. That one thing was shallow and thoughtless, doesn't mean he isn't a good guy that does good things.

The network. But don't let that stop a good LeBron hate fest.

Always a little of both. They couldn't do it without him and he required the platform to do it

He'll never really escape the hate from "The Decision" fiasco IMO.

Though if he were to leave Miami and go back to Cleveland...

However, if they wanted money more than rings, then they wouldn't have agree to play together in the 1st place.

I'm not reasoning that they will all want max contracts. I'm just stating the facts of the situation they played under this last season.

I think Wade would probably take less to stay. He's the oldest of the 3, he's made a king's ransom and he's been there his whole career. If they're going to keep the three together those two probably need to take closer to $10million per year, and leave LeBron with a max contract.
