you must'v forget about barkley & pippen coming to houston... short memories..

and Ewing couldnt beat Olajuwon or Jordan, didnt matter what team he played for... (and the Knicks had a stacked squad during Ewing's prime)

barkely and pippen went to houston in their primes?

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

this

i just grew up in a different era where players wanted to beat the best

not join them

hell barkely and ewing would have rings if they did that shit back then

basically!



But who was to blame for LBJ, Bosh & Wade not being able to win a title the "hard way" like the legends? Is it their fault or the fault of the GM's that built bs teams around them? Or should the blame be split between the players (by not doing what was needed on the court) and the GM's?

The bottom line is the bulk of the NBA players aint built like Bird, MJ, etc. Most of them put their egos and cash before the hunger to win.Bird and them just need to accept that. Its a different era.

???

did i miss something

did larry go join the lakers when they had magic and kareem?

did larry join the bulls with Mike and Phil?

did larry join the pistons wit zeke and joe dumars?

No, because he had 3 hall of famers, two 50greats, and a top 10 all time power forward already on his team.

yea bro

but ima act like samaki walker mark madsen tyron lue wasn't on the lakers.

and ima act like will perdue dicky simpskins and randy brown wasn't on the bulls.


ima also act like leon powe brian scalabrine and eddie house wasn't on the celtics.


mo williams is better than all of thee above.

if u disagree then i don't know what to say to you.

Yea, only difference is none those guys werent 2nd (or 3rd or even 4th) options on those teams filled with hall of fame talents. Mo was the 2nd best player on his team.

O so its a timeline of when you can and cant switch teams? LOL

SO ya'll just keep making up new rules as you go? So what's the age limit before you can switch teams?

Ray Allen not in his prime so does he get a pass from you guys?

Barkley went to Phoenix in his prime, by ya'll rules he was suppose to stay in Philly and suffer

I wouldn't call those Knicks team stacked...
Oakley was 6' 9" and could barely jump... Starks and Mason were found in the strap files of the CBA and the USBL... Derek Harper was old... and Charles Smith was just PLAIN SOFT...

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

I like Larry Bird and dude is a legend, but thats easy for him to say when his Celtics squad had HOFers on it when he got there, traded for HOFers, even brought in HOFer Bill Walton late in his career to "ride his coattails" to a ring. If Bird had played with scrubs his whole career he'd have a point, but it just sounds like he's upset Bron is gonna surpass his ring total and will be considered the best SF of all time very soon.

In one breath its "rings are everything, guys should care about that most"

Next breath "its cheating if you sacrifice $$$ for a ring, you should always go to the highest bidder because thats what the GM and owners are depending on."

 

[BigATLslim]

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

larry's just one of many

Now all of a sudden players caring about winning more than money and the spotlight is a problem?

Bron, wade and Bosh did EVERYTHING these fuckers said they wanted from pro athletes.

• Honor their contracts
• Take less to win
• Sacrifice personal glory for team

But cause Young Black players took control of their destiny it's a problem no matter how they did it.
Shit is sickening and should be a wake up call to any athlete that thinks these GM's give a lilly fuck about them.

Let's celebrate this post by cracking the bag open and pouring me a handful because this hit the nail on the head PERIOD! Larry sounds delerious.

Sorry Larry, everybody cant fall into a situation where they get to play with Hall of fame bigs, and point, 50greats, and a top 10 all time PF. Some people have to do for themselves what your GM did for you.

And THIS is exactly what I was thinking while I read the first post in the thread. These ninjas have some nerve. From this statement you see hate comes on many levels, even when you got opportunity and money.

Bottom line, LeBron was under 25, an NBA player, thinking like a GM (without the headache), managed his career into a ring before 30. You show me in the rulebook where he broke 'em, Larry, and I'll shut the fuck up? I have a feeling I will be talking for a long time, though.

LeBron had the courage, the foresight, and the intelligence to TAKE HIS DESTINY INTO HIS OWN HANDS. He basically said, I need to be the only reason I did not get a ring. I cannot afford to play the blame game.

Now, when did not being responsible for your own actions/destiny become the thing, as a man, not to do?

Charles didn't go to Phoenix chasing rings. He was TRADED to Phoenix and Houston. Unfortunately it was during the Jordan era and many a HOFer was deprived.

Folks need to stop acting like what LeBron did wasn't a bitch move. It was.

No. Im saying you're a clown for comparing one teams role players to another teams 2nd fucking option.

And are you really mentioning a 38year old broken down Shaq playing with Lebron as evidence of him having comparable talent to teams where stars played with 50greats and hall of fame talents? Man shit yo little ass down somewhere.

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

The legends will always frown upon the move LeBron made, they felt it was a bitch move and look at dudes who try to ride that bandwagon as a joke. Heat bandwagoners will just have to accept this.

 

[H.Clarke]

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

He led Philadelphia in rebounding and field-goal percentage for seven consecutive seasons and in scoring for six straight years. However, Barkley demanded a trade out of Philadelphia after the Sixers failed to make the postseason with a 35–47 record.

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

anybody who walks out to ANY b ball court, plays a game, loses, has to so sit on the side with "next"

is gonna watch the game being played, look at the players out there, including the ones on the next losing team and PICK THEM.

If he could, he's pick people from that winning team.

Only one problem homey....DEMANDING a trade doesn't equate to chasing a ring. Does it? Once again...NO COMPARISON.

I accept it, but just because you dont like Lebron (and/or the DECISION) you cant change the History of the NBA.

Ballers been switching teams and demanding trades for years.

This is true but those legends didn't change teams. LeBron's problem is and always will be is you name yourself King James and have the Chosen one tatted on you back and when you can't win a ring you go and join a super team, that is an automatic fail in the eyes of the alpha dog legends.

Dude gave the Cavs his all each game, took the teams places they would've never been.

Hey, you guys are making your own rules... So I cant compete if there are no set rules.. SO by your rules, Barkley didnt chase a ring by going to Houston or Phoenix

Do you know Phoenix won 50 games in the 4 previous years before Barkley got there. KJ, Chambers, Eddie Johnson, Armon Gilliam, lost in Western Conference finals two consecutive years before Barkley got there....

at ya'll making up your own NBA history, somebody said Barkley made Suns a contender like they sucked before he got there. I still remember when KJ dunked on Olajuwon, that shit was sick, damn that hurt Rocketnation, that shit was sick

Folk can shit on Lebron all day... I'm not even talking about Lebron

I'm stating an NBA fact that alpha dogs.. JABBAR, WILT, MOSES MALONE and many others have switched teams and gone to superior teams. Jabbar to Lakers, Wilt to Lakers, Moses to 76ers.

So just because you dont like Lebron you cant change history.

Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r

Tiny Archibald, Dave Cowens, Pistol Pete Maravich, Robert Chief Parrish, Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, Dennis Johnson. Larry Bird played with 7 HOFers over the course of his career. And had at least 3 of them on his squad every year. His PG Dennis Johnson had already won a title and been a Finals MVP before he came to Boston. Walton had already won a title and been a Finals MVP. So Bird had no problem teaming up with those guys and building "super teams" when it was in his best interest.
