Lebron to Miami or New York?

[persianbruin]

dont give a **** what people say. What is this Game about? To pull a city on your shoulders go out without a title and being loved by people of a city? Or win championships? What way Shaq choose? Went from Orlando to LA won 3 Championships and one more in Miami. He is known as one of the best if not the best Center in NBA History. So why hatin on Lebron so much?

well there are 2 different issues here. One is the move itself. Of course the cleveland people don't like Lebron going but that doesn't mean he shouldn't leave town in pursuit for a championship but at what COST? What many bbal people on major sports websites are saying is that by going to a team tht already has 2 superstars and one has already won a championship there, his championship won't mean as mush as the other alltime greats. MJ lost for 7 years but didn't leave. Kobe had a CBA roster next to him and after all the trade me screams (which btw were mostly becasue of an "unnamed" laker offcial backstabbing) he still decided to stay. Remember, Gasol wasn't brought in right away. He was brought in around the allstar break after Kobe and bynum had already tried to make it. Bottom line is after all the hoopla he stayed.

The next issue and that is the one people are really pissed about is the way he handled it. Even ESPN is backpaddling now saying they had nothing to do with the plans!

True everyone needs help. But when you leave for a team that already has 2 of the top 9 scorers of the previous season. It looks a lot more like admitting you are not up to chasing greatness. You just want someone to hand it to you.
