Isn't the spirit of competition the reason they came together? Or is it because they just wanted to Party?

So the other 29 team vying for a championship aren't enough for competition?Originally Posted by SaintVitus07
No. You don't. Those weren't manufactured teams. This one is. It takes the spirit of competition and integrity and throws it out the window.Originally Posted by Big J 33
Then people bring up Magic and Michael... "would they ever join another superstar's team?" Except Magic played with Kareem and James WorthyMichael Jordan had Scottie Pippen... Kobe Bryant had a prime Shaq then Gasol... LBJ had Mo Williams and an ancient Jamison.
I just don't get it...

You completely missed my point.
Why are you trying to label be as a fan of a team. I don't have any alliance to any team in any sport.
The point is, Kobe never won a ring by himself. Pau Gasol is a top post player in the NBA. Yes he isn't Shaq, obviously, but Kobe still needed "help" to win it all. That is the main point.

LeBron had 2 options to win and win right now. A) Miami. B) Chicago. and even Chicago would have taken some pretty good foresight to think Rose becomes Rose this quickly.
Cleveland and New York would have been nice 'stories' (and believe me, I wanted him in NY more than anything) but it's obvious by now neither of those teams could have won it all this year, not with Chicago emerging and not with Boston having one more year left...down the line in a year or 2, yes, at least in NY a team could have been built/filled out. but I can't blame him for not wanting to wait out another prime year of his career for more help. He comes up short in either of those places, he's killed, again. He wins a ring in Miami, it's 'tainted' to some, but I think that's the better alternative.

Also if I recall correctly, the media started the King James and Chosen One labels. Not LeBron. The NBA knew he was going to be great, the next great thing. So the media jumped on board.
