This. Gloria didnt tell Lebron to follow his heart. She told him to follow her nose. Crack whore.

It's Wade County.

As for his legacy, Lebron will never ever ever crack the top five now. Hell, I don't think he has a chance of even surpassing Kobe. Despite having an All Star PG, Shaq(who was 3rd team All NBA in 2010) and Antawn Jamison, he couldn't even get to the East finals. Any title he gets will be on Wade's coattails because you know damn well when the going gets tough D-Wade will at the very worst go down blazing while Lebron will fake another injury or defer the game winning attempts to guys like Delonte West and Donyell Marshall. He's a phenomenal player but when it's time to do things the alpha dog does(see: Bryant, Kobe and Wade, Dwyane) he turns into a 260 lb vagina. He's really good in the regular season but when he gets to the postseason(where teams that actually play defense exist) he's lost.

NOTE: I despise all things Cleveland so this isn't me being bitter at all, there were few non-Celtics fans that were happier than me to see the Cavs get trounced again. LBJ is just a pompous douchebag that acts like the world owes him something despite winning nothing of significance aside from regular season awards that are based on games played against teams like the Minnestoa Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers.

Dumb. Even if its 10-15 or 50 years from now, there WILL end up being a better player than MJ.

I'm surprised that Pat Riley didn't suit up in his Heat uniform so that the "four stars" of the Heat would be clearly delineated for anyone who did not understand how things were going to be in South Beach.

After Lebron wins the MVP this year in Miami, it will be his team. He's the best player in the NBA, therefore, he's the best player in Miami.

Did that happen when A-Rod won the MVP in New York. Maybe Wade isnt as loved as Jeter is in NYC...but right now, thats how I see this situation. The best player is not the captain, most loved, fans choice, etc.

It is no coincidence that those 3 are posed with Wade in the center. Wade was introduced last at their party. He will be the closer down the stretch and take the last shot.

D-Wade will always be top dog on that team because he carried his own team (Shaq was a shell of his former self) to a title and has a finals MVP to show for it.

Lebron's days of winning MVP's are probably over, as the NBA MVP voters more than any league has always taken into account what you have around you when deciding the MVP. Instead of "he's carrying Cleveland on his back" like the argument the last few years it is going to be "well anybody can do that with 2 other top 10 players on their team." He knew that when he left Cleveland though, and I think he is fine with it for now.

Of course he's fine with it, because he can't take the pressure...

Proved it time and time again.

No. I was pretty critical of LeBron in the Boston series. Of course I want him on my team, he's still a great player, but he doesn't have the mental fortitude to be "the guy"... Skip has said it all along, we just needed our eyes opened.

Stop being a dumbass regarding this situation.

I'm just trying to follow your logic. I bet if he had another solid player he would have been "the guy".....whatever that is.

Sour grapes.

He had a lot of solid players. He was "The guy" and couldn't get it done.

It's logic.

He knew this, so he tarnished his legacy not just with Ohio, but the national perception is that in the same. Check the articles of the guys who ultimately make or break the players legacy... The media has been hammering him.

Sour Grapes? Not that he left, but how he left.

Again, stop being a dumbass troll. You're better than that, at least I think you are.

Yeah, it doesn't work like that.

LeBron was in between Mo and Shaq on the big banner at the Q.

So you honestly believe that Cleveland's elimination was the result of LeBron "not getting it done"? Did you really watch the playoffs?

I'm just having a discussion. Don't reply if you can't take it. Troll? lol....who is the one with 5 threads on the same topic on the first page?

Bron backed down from a challenege. When Jordan couldnt get past the Pistons he didnt join them, he stayed until he could beat them by himself. Lebron James took the easy road. Anybody that thinks otherwise just doesnt have a clue. Theres a reason why people all over the country have been writing negative articles about Lebron since he made his decision. "The guy" wouldnt back down from a challenge..........Lebron did.

Why does Jordan constantly get brought up when discussing LeBron?

Educate yourselves people and like the article says....move on.

Can't take it? I'm countering everything you're saying EASILY. Just because I started 5 topics doesn't make me a troll. They're not troll topics, they are topics of discussion.

And no, LeBron didn't get it done. He quit. I called it out during the fucking Boston series. He QUIT. Hell, he didn't even play that well in the Chicago series.

That team was good enough to get past Boston and Orlando.. They probably don't beat the Lakers, but they were certainly good enough to get out of the East.

LOL, you want us to educate ourselves by a Scoop Jackson article that compares baseball to basketball? My god.

And MJ is always brought up because he's the GOAT. LBJ always wanted to be the GOAT and no he won't ever touch his legacy. That's why MJ is brought up... Keep up man.

What about Jamison's bricks? Mo's pathetic defense and Shaq just sucking? Also, the head coach getting outcoached? What was with those lineups?

He is also to blame but to pinpoint their exit solely on LeBron is straight asinine. There were many reasons for Cleveland's premature exit.
