I never said that. This whole “if you can’t beat em,join em” generation is really sad.
Warriors or Cavaliers?

I must have missed some previous conversations. When did opinions on LeBron become linked to MJ?
You can’t mention something positive about MJ without being a fanboy or what not. They are both great, one is just more great.
Yeah. I scanned through a couple of the NBA threads. Lot of bickering going on over something nobody can prove or disprove.
So might have MJ if he were not trapped in an 8 year deal, then signed for a boatload more than anyone could offer.
It really is comical so many think no way MJ would have left under the same circumstances with the same CBA. The guy hated his GM.
You can play the if game, Jordan played for one team his whole life. LeBron has left for greener pastures twice now and will probably do it again after this season
I think it's fair. Even as a Cavs' fan I don't really like the guy.
But it's also possible to talk more about the good you see in him as opposed to the bad.
B!tch is the ignorant way of stating it. But as a red blooded male I could not stand my boss or leadership figure head being as passive aggressive as Lebron. Just not my style and I can tell you it has kept certain guys in the past that were older from signing in Cleveland the first go around. It also contributed to Kyrie leaving when they should of shipped off Love.
Yea but nobody puts Durant in anywhere close to the same stratosphere as Jordan like they do Lebron. I am not convinced Durant is even as good as Dirk at this point.
You also see him pull up instead of taking it coast to coast. Looks like he just got the ball past half court to catch his breath.
Washington says hello.
Jordan also never had max deals.
Greener pastures? He left a Finals' team to come back to a lottery team.
2 mistakes for the price of 1.
Lol seriously? Jordan went to the wizards but it’s not because they had a great shot at winning. Surely you see that.
I don't like the passive aggressive, drama queen antics either, but get your facts straight.
More likely people didn't come the first time because they couldn't be sure he was staying.
he flopped. Was asked if he did or not so I helped out. No more, no less. Sadly, they all do it now.
In Jordans 1997-1998 season with The Bulls he made 33 mill in salary when the league cap was only like 27 million. That is unheard of today with a team letting one player cost more than the salary cap. Jordan was making what the average NBA teams entire payroll was.
You said he never played for another team, and you said Lebron left for greener pastures.
Jordan did play for another team (strike 1), and Lebron left a Finals' team for a lottery team (strike 2).
Man up and admit your gaffes or don't. Your choice.

If that was the flop you were looking for that was a weak argument. Do we need to go find the ones where Lebron isn't touched and flops? I mean he learned from D- Wade one of the masters of flop.
Exactly. where was he gonna go? No team could come close to that. Think it was 30 mil the year before that one.
Dude his dad got murdered , the gambling debt rumor over his head was why he retired the 1st time.
It played into it I am sure but there were always reports out there. You know how pro athletes are. They won't express their true opinions on camera to the media. They say stuff off the record to reporters.
I have no problem with talking about LeBrons greatness. You are the one who seems to get defensive when talking about this.
Yea but he was getting paid off of only making 2 mill a year prior to 1996-1997 because of everything he did for the organization.
Yeah....Why would I think with you lobbying to be President of the Never Say You are Wrong Club (NAYAW) you could admit an obvious gaffe, let alone 2.
That would crush your candidacy.
So just assume the worst? Many have come here this time around and taken a lot less to do it.
LeBron went to Miami to join DWade and Bosh only to go back to Cleveland after they had stored up those lottery picks and KI emerging as a star. The Heat he left was nothing compared to the team he joined.
