I'm rooting for the Bulls to get Melo, that way when a Lebron led Cavs team beats them in the playoffs we can fondly look back at the posts of the last few days.
Really.Mo Williams: “Bron had me blinded man. He wins you over completely. He makes you feel like you’re his best friend. He’ll party with you, train with you, dance on the sideline with you… Look, growing up I was obsessed with the Thundercats. Bron found out and he had this artist make me a painting where it was me playing basketball, but I looked like Panthro. He would call me Panthro all the time, and I called him Lion-O. We used to joke about how Dwight (Howard, then their nemesis with the Orlando Magic) was Mumm-Ra.” I ask Williams where that painting is now, and he crumbles his napkin and tosses it over his shoulder, then shrugs. “I couldn’t get Bron to pick up my calls for a week after ‘The Decision,’ so finally I just sent him a text, I just said, Lion-O would never leave Panthro out in the cold. Two days later I get a text back that says I’m a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat. But that’s how he is… That’s who he is. He makes you feel like a million bucks and then steps over you like a bad penny on his way out the door.”
“A man lets you know who he is by how he treats others. D. Wade, Chris, Heat fans, they saw how Bron did me and the Cavs, so they shouldn’t expect no sympathy from no one. You invite a vampire into your house, you gonna get bit. Simple as that.”
Come on guy.Ha, so that story is apparently a fake. Thought it was interesting.... apparently too interesting to be true.
And yet you give Melo shit because he might want to stay in NY, make up your dam mind.Yea, I mean, it's not shocking that the guy who is behind a huge charade every couple years in order to stack the deck in his favor to win a title is a sociopath of sorts. He's a truly unbelievable player, a once in every 20 year talent, but I just don't respect the way this guy goes about shit.
There's a difference between a money grab to stay on a team that has literally no chance of competing for a title any time soon and colluding for God knows how long to build a super team because you can't get over the hump on your own.And yet you give Melo shit because he might want to stay in NY, make up your dam mind.
The only difference to you is if the Bulls are involved.There's a difference between a money grab to stay on a team that has literally no chance of competing for a title any time soon and colluding for God knows how long to build a super team because you can't get over the hump on your own.
Am I bitching about Bosh possibly joining Houston and doing something similar?The only difference to you is if the Bulls are involved.
Look Simp I respect your basketball acumen but at what point do you let it go about Lebron, you have whining about this superteam thing for 4 years all the while calling out other players for not doing the same in Chicago because they don't really care about winning.
To each his own, I admire the fact he has the intelligence to use the power he has to manipulate the system in his favor and I think Wade was the driving force behind the original big 3 move.Am I bitching about Bosh possibly joining Houston and doing something similar?
No.
What LeBron does is on a different level from a guy like Melo joining Chicago or Bosh joining Houston, he's the focal point of all this nonsense and the one who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
On one hand I can kind of admire a guy taking his destiny into his own hands to some extent but I don't like the trend of all these hushed plans hatched behind closed doors, the collusion and such, and LeBron is the embodiment of that, if not the driving force behind all of it.
I also think it cheapens his legacy, he wants to be the greatest of all time but every few years he's going to bounce around and whisper sweet nothings into the ears of various elite players around the league, gauging what suits him best?
Some might not care, and I can see how some may find it impressive, but to me it's pretty chickenshit.
Yea, I'm hoping this shit ends when this 2003 draft class retires. A guy like Kevin Love forcing a trade from a shit situation to one of a handful of teams is one thing, this bullshitting around, which seems like one giant game of chicken, is something else.I wish this shit would just resolve itself. LBJ and Melo fucking around like this is worse than the damned decision.
I get that, and I admire it to an extent too, but it cheapens alot of it for me, especially if he switches teams again in pursuit of creating another stacked roster, even if that team is the team he left in the first place.To each his own, I admire the fact he has the intelligence to use the power he has to manipulate the system in his favor and I think Wade was the driving force behind the original big 3 move.
As for his legacy, being the 2nd best player in the history of the NBA is not a terrible thing.
I don't think he is. I take Kareem over him any time. Kareem was an offensive juggernaut and a rebounding machine and he was athletic enough to run the court with the showtime Lakers. He also didn't play in an era when he was the only 7 footer like Wilt did.To each his own, I admire the fact he has the intelligence to use the power he has to manipulate the system in his favor and I think Wade was the driving force behind the original big 3 move.
