    True but they tried the year before had a top 10 pick in Wagner that was suppose to be kyire before kyire then Lebron told boozer to leave they tried to get Micheal redd and he didn’t come but got the second best player that was a free agent in that time in Larry Hughes he just so happened to be injury prone so they tried they made trades to help support Lebron they tried just doesn’t no one wants to come to Cleveland 😂 it wasn’t management fault

    At that time Cleveland was only using LeBron for fame. They don't care about championship. They can just drag anyone and give that guy a CAVS jersey to play with LeBron. They didn't even try. While Miami was ready to win a chip of course Bec of the Legendary Pat Riley, he knew what to do. They wasted Lebron's first 8th years??(correct me if I'm wrong) if they didn't waste his talents. LeBron would have stayed and win at least 3 or 4 more rings.. cancel out the 2 miami rings then. 4 or 5 total rings

    Here are the picks the Cavs during Lebron's first stint: 10th, 55th (2nd round), 42nd (2nd round), 25th, 19th, 46th (2nd), 30th, 54th (2nd round). Simply put, Lebron carried those Cavs teams too far, so they never got high picks. The Bulls drafted Pippen by MJ's third season (5th). Kobe had Shaq since his very first year. Shaq was dominant since his first season and took the Magic to the finals before Kobe was even drafted. How can someone take Lebron and compare his situation to these two? The Bulls only won two games less after MJ left, and they were one bad call from making the ECF (without MJ). Shaq left and won another ring with the Heat. While the Cavs went from winning 60+ games to 19 games right after Lebron left. The Cavs also never made the playoffs (despite drafting Kyrie and a few other high picks) until Lebron came back.

    It wasn't Jordan did it that way, it was because till Kobe, the superstars wasn't let go and the franchises built the team around them. And most of the stars wasted time because of that.

    Actually CP3 and KG had really good player’s around him. They just played in a conference where 1-8 could be separated by a half game or two. The western conference used to be tough. You could lose a game, and drop 3 spots. CP3 has had every chance to win, and Garnett went to Boston at the right time. Personally I think if Lebron didn’t have that large announcement with the show of the 3 of them coming out saying they’d basically win 1-7 championship’s. It wouldn’t have had the impact of the hate on him. KD went to GS, and basically said f%ck what everyone thinks. Lol Lebron is still the top player’s of his generation. Jordan is still the top player of his Generation. When Lebron leave’s, the NBA is going to have a problem.

    LeBron represents the uncontrollable athlete who dared to take his destiny into his own hands. America is comfortable with the “dumb jock” who is only an object of their entertainment. If Pat Riley would have been perceived as the mastermind behind the LeBron TRADE and the Bosh signing he would have been labeled the GM of the year and heaped with praise. The fact that this was viewed as athletes making their own decisions enraged a specific demographic.

Cleveland never had any talent the likes of a Russell Westbrook, James Harden or Serge Ibaka. And KD joining the Warriors, would've been more like Bron, joining the Celtics' big 3, since he lost to that team, and they already won a chip. Bron joined a team from scratch pretty much. People were gonna hate on Bron regardless, because they don't want him to be the GOAT🤷🏾‍♂️

However, when it comes to inequalities I do no appreciate how he handled the China situation. And I understand that he has to secure his bag and the NBA put pressure on him to direct himself to the media a certain way. With that being said, China is a communist country in which an individual has no rights to freedom. You do as you are told when you are told or you suffer consequences. Lebron had a chance to put some shine on the true oppression that people in China have to go through, but he chose not to and looked the other way. I did not like that move at all. Still love him as a ball player though.

    The difference between lebron and other greats is they weren't drafted into dysfunctional organizations or a constantly dysfunctional organization. The bulls were somewhat dysfunctional at the time mj was drafted but they were able to pull it together and make some good moves. It's not a knock on other players that they got drafted into good situations but lebron simply didn't. That's also the difference between kd and bron's move, kd's front office surrounded him with a good group of players and he wasnt able to get it done, to be fair to him though in 2013 russ went down and in 2015 he went down so who knows what wouldve happened otherwise. Also kd made an unprecedented team and lebron made an unprecedented move, in the modern nba theres never been a team with as much talent as that warriors team there have been teams with as much talent as the heat, but bron was the first to successfully put a team together. I wouldve had no real issue if kd went anywhere else, even san antonio but in my opinion him going to the warriors ruined the competitive balance of the league, and it could set a bad precedent for future players to do the same.

    So Lebron can assemble multiple all stars now with 3 different teams but the Warriors who where mostly draft picks can’t add one player at the expense of their bench. If Lebron had his way he would also have Kawhi with AD to go with Veteran ex Allstar role players. Lebron would most probably still be chasing his first ring if he did not keep stacking the deck. No mater how you look at it Durant’s titles are equivalent to Lebron’s, but the Nowitzki’s, Duncan’s, Kobe’s and MJ’s for example that had the struggle of being built over time to become a great team truely exemplifies greatness.

    False. Jordan didn't come in the league with a dominate team. The Bulls were absolute garbage when Jordan was drafted. For six seasons Jordan didn't have an allstar teammate until 1990. Also, players didn't just leave in their prime. They stayed til the job was done. Look at Dominique Wilkins. Spent his entire prime of his career with the Hawks and never came close to winning. Hakeem Olajuwon waited 10 years to get a ring with the Rockets. Players didn't just pack up and leave when things didn't go their way back then.

Kevin Garnett said that he wished that he left the Timberwolves earlier. Do you realize how bad the Cavaliers organization is? Look at how terrible they were before Lebron came and after he left! The Cavaliers were too good to draft a star when Lebron was there because they were winning and star free agents outside of Lebron have never signed with Cleveland. If the organization is incompetent in adding good pieces what's so terrible about Lebron controlling his own destiny? Star players in the past stayed with their teams because they were stuck in long contracts and couldn't leave the team had all the leverage over the players. Karl Malone wanted to be traded from the Jazz but they refused to trade him, by the time he was a free agent he was old and never won a ring. Pippen was acquired in a trade for Olden Polyniece does Jordan win six rings if Seattle keeps Pippen? The Bulls got Rodman for a bag of chips take those lopsided trades away and MJ is ringless. Magic and Bird walked onto loaded teams . Guys like Dominique, Mailman , Barkley couldn't win because their teams didn't make the moves that the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls did to set them up to succeed. Put those same ringless greats on those winning teams and they would win too. How do you know that Lebron's injury was fake ? The Lakers were fourth in the west and 2 games out of first when he got injured why fake an injury then? The Lakers are far from being a super team outside of the top two players no one else on the team is consistently good. Haters like you have no problem with Lebron's competition stacking the deck staying with one team only matters if it's Lebron who goes to another team and wins.

    Not until KD made a weaker decision. KD’s fans always defend him that KD destroyed LeBron in the finals but KD only played well because the pressure is not there, Curry and Klay took all the pressure off him but when he’s with his own team back in OKC, he didn’t play like he was in GSW because the pressure is on him but his team was also better. That is the reason KD will just be a HoFer but will never be in a discussion with other greats like Jordan, Kobe and LeBron.

In this case KD just took the idea from LeBron and make a weaker move...if you want to blame someone...blame the guy who was the best player in the world and decided to make a custom built team in Miami....he basically gave the rest of the NBA the green light to go out on their own and join whoever...look at the PG13 and kawhi situation LMFAO

    Michael Oates exactly. It wasn’t bad because he joined a team that is not very great and made it great team also they weren’t that great from the start or the first season but at that time, it was a bad decision. Then KD’s decision came which made his legacy weaker which is now he realize and tryna win it without Curry and Klay or I should say not joining an already super team. That one mistake is the reason KD will only be a HoFer and a champ but not gonna be compared to greats like Jordan, Kobe and LeBron.

    I think they are missing a point that Cleveland had nothing in terms of sports, and then they get LeBron in 2003, and he was supposed to their savior. They make Finals in 2007, get close another few years, and then he leaves. LeBron leaving affected Cleveland's economy because of all the merch sold with his name on it. But then he comes back, wins them a ring, and Cleveland fans were fine with him leaving in 2018 because he came back and got them a ring.

    Lebron was at his very best in Miami. The work ethic, versatility, defense, mental fortitude and leadership skills he learned with the Heat and from Wade himself made him leaps and bounds better than who he was before he went to Miami. It made it possible for him to get Cleveland that championship which I still believe they didn’t deserve. I am a lifelong Heat fan from Miami and I witnessed the hate the country, the league, the media and Cleveland were throwing our way and particularly at Lebron. The hostility and hate he got from those fans was actually scary to the point where police were ready to intervene if someone decided to go over the line. Think about that. This man just decided to go to another team and people were ready to cause him physical harm. It was insane and I don’t know how he forgave them enough to even go back there again.

The only thing I said was weak was he joined Dwayne wade who was like a top 3-10 player at the time depending on how you argued it. On top of that he recruited Chris Bosh who put on a fantastic show in the olympics. Regardless I don’t blame him for doing what he did. He’s still the #2 player of all time.

    I've said the same as well. A lot of people argue "but Jordan never left so that makes Lebron soft", why would Jordan ever need to leave? *Scottie Pippen* was drafted by *Jerry Krause* and they both were coached by *Phil Jackson* - in the second 3peat they even traded for *Dennis Rodman*. All of which were top 5/10 at their respective position and are in the Hall of Fame; Jordan never even had a reason to leave! Whereas Lebron was never afforded that luck or luxury to sit around a wait for his all-time great cast to show up, Cleveland wasn't doing it for him so he moved on. The best Lebron could have gotten is getting convinced to stay and somehow Cleveland trades everything to land Anthony Davis? But that's unlikely to the point of silliness.

    Let’s not forget Pippen was drafted and grew in time. Phil was a fairly new head coach then. They along with MJ grew together within a short time span to form the backbone of that dynasty. A different path to success compared to LeBron. No right or wrong. You can’t discredit one path to make the case for the other. Ain’t right. Like winning with 3 different teams has more value than winning 3x in a row... twice! Both are difficult, period.
