Im not going to argue with you anymore Luke. There is no way either of us can prove what we are saying. Its called an opinion. Yours is no more valid than mine.

You sound like a damn fool. There is so much going on in Cleveland right now, that in a few years it will look completely different. As I've said on here many times, Lebron didn't help Cleveland's economy, a winning team did. When our teams are good, we come out and support them better than any other city in this country, and in the case of the Browns, even when they are losing. One player does not make us the fans we are. It's a team that's committed to winning and that wins.

Remember, Pau Gasol (who would then be the guy carrying the Lakers) wasnt Pau Gasol until he teamed up with Kobe. Just sayin.
Yeah, he was just a guy that took his team to the playoffs without Kobe more than ONCE.
at the Lakers NOT being a playoff team without Kobe. I guess people forgot Gasol took Memphis MULTIPLE times to the playoffs. Give him a Bynum, Odom, Artest and Phil Jackson and you're telling me they won't make the playoffs??? Yeaaaaa okaaaay.
Why do people kept mentioning Artest like hes good or something?
The people who keep mentioning Artest obviously havent seriously watched the NBA for a couple years. Artest is averaging 8 PPG and constantly miss wide shot open shots, they dont even guard half of the time. Ok if Kobe was gone, he may average 10 PPG. Artest is a pure role player at this point.
Of yeah I forgot Gasol had been to the Playoffs MULTIPLE times because he went and was promptly swept every time he went...... So okay I react my earlier statement... The Lakers would be fighting for the 7th or 8th spot then get promptly swept by the Spurs, Thunder or Mavericks.
Is that better?

Whats your point?
Those Grizzle teams had some good players......Posey,Wells, Battier, Mike Miller, Swift, Jason Williams, No great players but good players ( all averaged around 15 or more PPG) The same type of team he'd be left with without Kobe.

this thread is pretty much a %@+% on kobe while slurping lebron thread, kinda corny but it's just as lame when dudes make threads to slurp kobe at lebrons expense. same way how some dudes get uptight on here when you criticize lebron in any way shape or form even if it's justified. no player is immune to criticism.
at the end of the day if lebron wins rings in miami he made the right move, i could care less about the sidekick talk and all that b.s because lebron isn't a sidekick nor is dwayne wade, that whole batman and robin talk is dumb, if they both play a huge role and part in winning rings for their team then that's all that matters. regarding him leaving cleveland however, how he handled it, anyone who thinks "the decision" was an acceptable way to go about it is a damn fool and is letting their biased views affect their common sense but that's normal on here.
