Something tells me Lebron thought about Dirk and KG in 2010 and said "Fuck that shit!" Those cats stayed loyal for years and almost ended up without any chips. It's been 5 years since Dirk won a chip, and he still stayed loyal even after Cuban said 'fuck it' after winning in 2011. He has basically wasted all those seasons since the chip.
Shit, he led the Mavs to 11 straight seasons of 50 plus wins in the tough ass western conference. That's some Lebron-type shit. Anyone can ask KG and Kobe how hard that shit is to do without superstar help. During that streak, he had a 2006 chip stolen from him due to ref fuckery that many impartial basketball fans still talk about and rank second only to the 2002 western conference finals fuckery.
The ref who went to the bing said Cuban hate played a part in that, so once again Dirk took one for Cuban.
And cats say he ain't top 5 at his position?

Cats need to show me a PF who has done more than Dirk with similar support. I'll wait. Dirk Dangerfield gets no respect. He'd be a legend if he were American-born and not loyal(or drafted into the right organization).
