So from what most have said in this thread why don't we just have a couple of teams with All Star level players at every position and have them duke it out for the ring every year cause that seems to be where we're headed.

Bosh is ass when it's time to clown the Heat.
He's talents are top, when it comes discuss them teaming up.

All of that^^^
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.
But cause Young Black players took control of their destiny it's a problem no matter how they did it.
- Honor their contracts
- Take less to win
- Sacrifice personal glory for team
Shit is sickening and should be a wake up call to any athlete that thinks these GM's give a lilly fuck about them.
All of that^^^

The Rockets might be the only exception, other than The Dream can't think of anybody else.

There is no end of story....keep pretending that there isn't a difference between puttong a team together via the draft or trade versus what LeBron did. He did't do anything wrong. It was just bitchlike. End of story.

Man Larry Bird was one of the best dudes to play this game but he's dead wrong about this...First of all even if star do play for the same team, they still have to work to win a title. Back when he played they didn't have much of a choice and HE was fortunate to play with great players and coaches. In the end the game aint played on paper so it doesn't matter that much if stars come together or not

Allen may be saying "larry you see the Championship parties they throw in Miami, beats having to get thrown out the bar at 2a.m. and going out and burning Championship parked cars"

i see what everyone is saying and both sides got points... it is a different era... for better or for worse... Larry, Magic and Jordan had stacked teams with HOF everywhere they looked.. plus it was in a era where toughness could make a less skilled player a priceless asset in a playoff run
My Celtics are to blame... Bron cheated tho imo... the unwritten rule was once you served yuor time you could go chase that ring... Payton, Barkley, Malone, etc all get passes cause they wasn't trying to get stripes off the ring they was looking for a consolation prize imo
still happy to see bron get his... but it would have been saying more if he did it with CLE... anyone who argue against that is a stan imo

name one player that took a huge paycut just to play w/bird? it wasn't the same as dudes taking mad cuts to run to miami to win a ring. guys were either already w/the celtics or traded to um from other teams. THEN got better after buying into the system and stayin in their lane. if u look at the celtics prior to bird gettin there, it ain't like they were ballin outta control. biggest named player u can say they signed around the bird era was pistol pete, and he was on the decline in his career at that time anyway. dude couldn't even last the season....and that was the first year they won a championship

Agree a title with the Cavs may have been the greatest title ever.
Only thing I missed about James with the cavs, are the fun those boys had.
They would put on, that shit made me a fan of Danny Green.
KG did put his time but, he also said he wished he would've been left.

The problem was they were making the playoffs, resulting in low draft picks, the Cavs didn't look appealing to free agents, shit I won't be surprised if Irving leaves.
Why CP3 don't get shitted on?

whats funny is every one arguing how lebron got his ring is only echoing the views of disgruntled team owners. no one give a rats ass about the slaves in the field, only the massahs well being. let lebron live and stop pushing disgruntled owners views of how shit went down. i personally see it as a big fuck you to these cheap ass gm's and owners who feel they can rape a nigga all the while claiming the dude getting it has some type of fucking allegence owed to the same team who would drop him in a heart beat if he blew out his knee. you lebron haters are fucking clowns in the grand scheme of things.
ole "massah is we sick" type niggas.
ole "massah our house is on fire" type niggas.
team owners have raped more ball players for the best years of their careers than you can shake a stick at. dont get mad cause he took his ass and went where he wouldnt be on the receiving end of white team owners raping. house niggas and there mind set never stops amazing me.

Was going to say something similar. Imagine the Dave Bing's, the Bob Lanier's, the Bob Love's, Chet Walker's, Walter Davises and even the George Gervin's and Pete Maraviches of the league running to a team with Magic or Kareem...or even Wilt Chamberlain. It might've happened with lesser players, but the stars usually went down with the ship back then. They may not have won a title, but they gathered much more respect. First player I saw openly admit that he was leaving a so called bad team to try to win a title was Deon Sanders when he went to the Niners. Since then it happens all the time in hoops and sometimes in football...mofos ain't got no shame

You see how Jim Brown is 65-70 years old still running around got all kinds of juice?? Been a movie star, author, football legend, shits in the face of authority like Muhammad Ali did and they STILL coming at him with respect and admiration??
That could've been LJ. All he had to do was win ONE time in Cleveland and he'd own that city. To HELL with the Cleveland owners, just one title and they'd be naming streets and schools after him and building statues...

The irony of your post and your screen name. Lebron is the run away slave in this instance. He left a fucked up situation that only benefited the owner and left him in a position that all players should be striving for. He owned his destiny. Instead you say he should have continued to be used by a team and a system that looked to capitalize on his talents and throw him away when he out lives his usefulness. Oh the irony. I'm from ohio and fully stand behind what he did and how he did it.
Re: Larry Bird - So you mad ha!! "Guys ride the coattails of the best just to get a r
If you consider overcoming the odds and quite possibly having streets named after you, statues in your honor and a city that LOVES you for decades to come so much that it goes way beyond the scope and grasp of some old curmudgeonly white team owner, I would call that the irony in your post. I don't see anywhere in what I wrote condoning that man bow down and let someone spitefully own him. That's all in YOUR head. Instead what I suggest is that if he decides to stay...to cast down his buckets where he stand and make something great out of it like our ancestors taught us to do (why else are we still in this country?), then the ENTIRE CITY OF CLEVELAND would be his. As much as it was for Jim Brown for a significant part of his life AFTER football. Where in the blue fuck does that read as being a slave? (It's a rhetorical question, don't bother answering)
btw, RICK BARRY didn't even run to a superior team looking to score an NBA title. He got it the old fashioned way, but dig, he got it.
And there wasn't a franchise as cheap as the San Francisco Warriors....Now his SONS are running around living off their pops legacy....
