funny how if people have a laker/kobe icon in here you automatically have to hate. jordan had no choice he couldn't leave due to his 8 year contract signed in 1988. why is everyone talking in circles? what 2 players would anyone say are the best in the league? its either lebron or kobe. but now its wade and kobe according to kobe/laker fans they love this kind of silly stuff. even though they have yet to play a game wade is crowned the new king. any argument to make kobe out as the greatest. i mean there's nothing wrong with choosing a side and discussing it logically. if you are comparing kobe vs lebron and who is the greatest then at least make good points. don't throw out an 81 point game and be done, jordan never did it and he's no doubt better than these 2. rings? if you are set up with the all nba all stars to win then what do you expect. if kobe could have won those 2 years he got knocked out by phoenix then i would concede yes kobe is better than lebron but he didn't do it. get what i'm saying? probably but you don't want to listen. kobe clutch? check the stats people he is not clutch he's got the worst buzzer beater percentage google it. judge them on an even playing field. don't judge emmitt smith and barry sanders and call emmitt the best cause he got rings and call it a day. and just to stick to the topic yes i will be buying.Originally Posted by VanillaFreak13

To be fair, LeBron did hold the Cavs hostage the last few years. The Cavs were forced to acquire older players to appease LeBron because he didn't want to wait. You should know better than anyone as a Thunder fan how important it is to surround your superstar with young, quality players to grow old with.Originally Posted by DatZNasty
You can not be serious. He held you guys hostage?The fact that people's jobs and livelihoods depended on him, is tantamount to admitted that you guys held him hostage, because you needed him and not vice versa. I was laughing at you guys at first, but now I legitimately feel bad for you people in Ohio. Besides the fact you live in such a despare- ravaged area, you are all so far from reality it is embarassing.

He wasn't obligated to wait any longer than the length of his contract, which he did. I'm sure LeBron didn't call Gilbert and beg him to go out and grab the corpse of Shaquille O'Neal. And looking at the team, who would LeBron be waiting on hypothetically anyways? JJ Hickson is the only young player with any potential for improvement, but even he does nothing more than backcut off of LeBron drawn double team's and dunk and run the floor. Don't get me wrong, that and being so athletic is a skill in itself, but to think he's ever going to amount to much more than Tyrus Thomas or Kenyon Martin late is drinking the Cuyahoga Kool AidOriginally Posted by I NaSmatic I

Now don't get me wrong, the Cavs do share some blame but so does LeBron.
