Re: Unless one is a fan in Miami, this is terrible for the game, and the NBA will suffer for it. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 12/07/2010 12:50:44 AM
There are so many terrible storylines here – what he’s doing to his hometown, the manner in which he chose to subject Cleveland to this with a one hour special on national t.v., what this says about his drive as a champion, etc. I enjoyed watching him play, and in the matter of one ESPN special, I can't help but find myself despising him.

The element of this not getting a lot of discussion is the negative impact this will have on the NBA. People don’t want to watch if they already know the storyline. This league already had a lack of parity before, and that problem just increased tenfold. Why do I even want to bother watching the NBA anymore if I know my team doesn’t have a chance due to 3 superstars colluding to build an empire? Why should GM’s even bother to try and build teams anymore if this can happen?

Kobe-Magic-Jordan-Bird all created legacies on their own teams. They didn’t join together to make winning a ring easy.


Indeed. They all hated each other which was what made it so exciting to watch.

That's funny, I thought that was the most compelling part of the one hour special. Variant - 09/07/2010 06:33:55 AM 601 Views
I'm not surprised. He's always been immature and this just proved he doesn't have "it". everynametaken - 09/07/2010 04:04:06 AM 606 Views
