| If Lebron James even a young one played with a Shaq in his prime it would have been game over. Kobe is a very good player. But the pure lack of talent Cleveland put around him. It was absolutely inexcusable. You have one of the best players out there and it was like Cleveland wanted to nickle and dime.
Reminds me of regardless of you opinion of the man. But Barry Bonds on the Giants. They let Jeff Kent go and squandered an opportunity to win by nickle and dimming hoping for cheap replacements. Exact thing that happened with Lebron in Cleveland. MO Williams broken down Antwan Jamison and Shaq at the very end. Cavaliers deserve to suck as much as I am concerned.
Jordan is by far the greatest I have seen. I think of the modern televised era. He had good role players around him. But Pippen, and all these other guys were made much better because of him. You can see the difference when he went to play Baseball. Lebron carried the entire Cavs team. He left and they went from Worst to absolute dead last. |
