Crazy H asked in SportsBasketball · 1 decade ago

Thank you Lebron for ruining basketball and causing a lockout?

Im not so much against his decision(although i wanted him in ny) but in how it was delivered. The fact he didn't call up Dan Gilbert or the 4 other teams was really disrespectful. James showed no class and a very egotistic side of him. On Tuesday I read an article from a guy whos followed Lebron since high school. He said suddenly there has been a change in Lebron, this is not the same Lebron from before. Lebron has to understand he was blessed with his basketball talents. Anything can happen at any time and you should always remain humble and thankful. But from an NBA stand point David Stern can not be happy about this. Talent in the league needs to be spread out. This is gonna make basketball unappealing and people are going to lose interest when there is a super-team. This is like what you would do in a video game.ESPN said maybe this would start a trend. Doubt it. Because of Lebron James, owners are going to be very upset and I personally am expecting a lock out. This sort of thing will never happen again because it really damages the beauty of the sport and the purpose of the salary cap.

    I'm not a Lebron fan by any stretch, but you're talking crazy talk.

    Celtics and the Lakers are "super teams" as well. So this has ZERO effect on basketball. it just means more competition on the East which is good because it will bring out the A game in teams like the Bulls and one day the Pistons again.

    Viewership will probably increase because of this and rightfully so. David Stern is loving every second.

    some all of us is only using LeBron as a scapegoat. One guy can't reason the completed labor disaster. the topics are systemic. Plus, it unlike LeBron even forced a commerce. He fought the reliable strive against in wearing the Cavs as far as everyone guy must be really predicted to carry a crew, performed out his settlement and left for a better helpful oppurtunity, as became his appropriate. He did not destroy any moral rule, truly the hearts of a few human beings to who he owed no longer some thing. If some thing, LeBron going to the nice and comfy temperature generated better interest and larger funds for the league.

    I dont know what you're smoking. Because i dont see how you think Lerbon just ruined basketball. I think he just made it that more exciting. You have 3 all star player on the same team now. Its going to be fun to watch wade, LBJ and bosh all play together....especially against Orlando and the Lakers. I can wait for them to play the Lakers and see how Kobe looks out there shooting 50+ shots trying to keep the Lakers in it.

    I agree with you, but what if one player gets injured? A top team like Orlando, Lakers or Celtics will be able to beat them if they only have 2 of 3 superstars if they play as a team, like the celtics did in the previous playoffs
