Jordan shares his disappointment of Heat Big Three

[FedEx227]

I think "The Decision" was classless, embarrassing, and silly, but with that said...

I don't understand all of this "second fiddle" talk when it comes to James. He's a much better player than Wade. You have Kobe & LeBron (whatever order you prefer), then you have a gap, and you have everyone else.

I'll take LeBron & Bosh over Wade & Bosh every single time.

I can't speak for everyone but when I talk second fiddle I mean in the eyes of the masses from an off-the-court perspective. LeBron will no doubt be the best player on that team, but in terms of marketing in the Miami era, or even last second game winning shots LeBron is the second guy and thus will have trouble reaching elite status seemingly being considering by his direct peers as a follower.

disagree. he is not a much better player than lebron. I wonder how lebron feels about wade getting a ring without jumping on a team with two other stars. and the 06 heat were not stacked at all. but wade has the will to win something lebron doesnt have.

Don't the Magic have Brandon Bass? He a big body guy with a decent offensive game.

van gundy shows him no love.

You're underselling Dwyane Wade, no doubt.

Then you have the playoffs where Queen James simply folds.

I know he hasn't always looked great in the playoffs but it's hard to argue with his numbers. The only thing you could say is that he isn't very clutch and is inconsistent at times, because his numbers throughout the playoffs have been great the past couple years.

33 PPG
9.2 RPG
7.4 APG
50.7% FG

Give him players like Wade and Bosh to play with and there will be sweet music playing in south beach.

Cranking out numbers when the game means nothing, means nothing.
Dan Gilbert got fined $100K because he was about to expose Queen James for his playoff shutdowns.
After the Tim Donaghy thing, the last thing Stern needed was Gilbert to tell the truth.

[Primetime]

What's the truth? That LeBron is human? Everyone sets him on the standards of Jesus Christ.

[Primetime]

BTW, How much is Dwyane Wade fucking loving this right now?

Lol... expose him, really? Anything Dan Gilbert has to say just comes off as bitter accusations.

Not really.
Jesus Christ lets Haiti be, well, Haiti.
Lets Africa be raped, pillaged and whatever for the past 1,000 years or so.
Lets Catholic priests and bishops bugger little boys.
Didn't give us Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige in their primes in Major League Baseball.
Always seems to shit on the poorest countries in the world by letting them take all the natural disasters.
Gave us Sarah Palin, George W. Bush and Dan Quayle.
Took Britney in her prime away from us pervs.
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

I actually hold Queen James to a higher standard.

You would be the one to take a statement and turn it religious.

He brought up Jesus, not me.

I simply said I don't hold Queen James to Jesus' standards.

I am sick and tired of people saying the Cavs didn't put a team around Lebron.

We put a team around him. He fucking quit. He quit in the ECF last year and he quit against the Celtics this year in game 5 and 6. It wasn't that he didn't have help. It wasn't Le Elbow. He quit.

This team has had the best record in the NBA for the past 2 seasons. This same team swept the Lakers this past year, including a blowout on Christmas day in LA. They handed the Boston Celtics their worst home loss in the franchise's playoff history.

The Cavs developed this team around him. They gave him a squad he could win a championship with. But, as always, when Lebron doesn't get his way (I.E. Mike Brown), he takes his ball and goes home.

I love how Cavalier fans said that he quit and this and that. Same with the owner. "Oh he quit, he got away with this and that and this." Yet, they offered him a max deal. Yeah, they must not really want him for that $130 million offer.

If LeBron re-signed with Cleveland, you wouldn't have said he quit and all that non-sense.

Jesus Christ was not a religious reference. It was a reference to perfection.

Jesus Christ is a religious reference.

A better reference point would have been Michael Jordan, where this argument was concerned.

It's all just jealousy man. I'd be upset losing the best player in basketball too, but I'm not going to be a pussy about it and blame him for things he couldn't control. Sorry the Cavs have a shitty team, just be happy you were able to watch him for as long as you did.
