Gasol was being argued as the best PF in the league.

Why argue with a Lakers fan? This is the same fanbase that calls LBJ an "egomaniac" yet supports a dude that helped to play an important role in the Shaq trade, whined to management until Gasol got traded to LA, and hell even changed his number to a nice convienent number that on one ahead of MJ's

Although MJ never bolted the Chi to join another elite player on a squad.... He, Pippen, Grant> better than ANY complimentary players Lebron had in Cleveland...lol
Do you all realize that until these playoffs Lebron has had ONE player on his squad score at least 30 points along with him???? *boobie in the 2007 ECF*
He was not going to win a chip in Cleveland

but boston was built on trades and free agents? nobody hates them.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...

I left my pc and the thread on page 126. Returned and skipped to the last page where I saw all sorts of silly, salty remarks.

Why is scared your word of choice?
Maybe he hates losing more than he likes winning. Many great warriors have used this phrase/logic before. Coaches preach this to their players. So you presenting that logic as if it someone disqualifies his choice from being a "legit" decision really doesn't work here.
Whether he went to Miami because he was SCARED of losing or because he doesn't LIKE to lose all means the same. How are we faulting a man for not wanting to lose over and over and over?
Think about it for a second.

Why don't you go root for losing teams instead of the Lakers? Grow some cajones and be a man. Root for teams like the Lakers/Yankees etc. is easy

Funny to hear Celtics fans complain about refs given the treatment they've gotten over the past few years....
The heat deserved to win, but I can understand people still diminishing what may be accomplished even if the LeBron finally wins. The Heat is Wade's team. LeBron is pippen, not jordan. Someone used the Jordan/Magic analogy, imagine if Jordan went to the Lakers, and convinced David Robinson to go with them too (not saying Bosh is anywhere near as good as David Robinson on his worst day, but just making a point). That's great if you win, but it's Magic's team, and why did he need to colllude w 2 other all stars? If that happened, would you still put Jordan on that top 50 greatest players list? Would he even be in the conversation of NBA greats?....maybe not. Lebron threw away his chance at being someone special because he didn't want a challenge. And that's why people don't respect him or the achievements that he gets when Wade's team wins.
And I used to be a big Lebron, fan, have 1-2 pairs of all his sneakers and wanted him to do well on the Cavs, but as a person I don't see how riding coattails is ever something to be admired. He might win a championship, and if that was his goal for himself in life, great he should enjoy it. But don't put him in a conversation of great NBA players.
