3 of those rings are Shaqs. To imply otherwise is simply being dishonest with yourself.

Shaq has never won jacksh!t without Kobe or D Wade. Even Hardaway couldn't get him there. Or Lebron James for that matter which the nut snugglers here will tell you is better than all 3. :hand:

Everybody always says this. I just wonder why it only applies to LeBron? Nobody told Shaq "dont go to LA, you wont be as good as Kareem or Wilt". No one told Garnett not to go to Boston because he'll never top Russell's 11 rings. Kobe will never be Magic Johnson, but no one holds it against him that he's benefited and is winning behind a legacy and franchise that Magic pretty much established.

The same people who want LeBron to stay in Cleveland will be the first ones to chastise him when he doesnt win multiple titles. If its only about $$$, I think LeBron should stay in Cleveland, because they can give him 30 mill more than any team. But if he wants to win championships and not waste half his career (like Garnett did in Minnesota) he needs to go to a bigger market. There's a slim chance LeBron can get a Bosh or any other superstar to follow him to Cleveland, and thats what its gonna take for that team to improve. There's a slim chance that he's able to win in a city that is so apathetic to it like Cleveland. I dont think Chi-town wants him to be Jordan, they just want to get back to winning. This is the NBA, everyone forgets everything when you win, and it wouldnt be any different if he became Bull.

Right now its looking like he's gonna stay in Cleveland, and thats dissapointing to me, because I know how hard its gonna be to win there, while other stars in bigger markets dont have the burden of "if you dont win in a small market then you arent great or it isnt as good".

Good God. "It's not Lebron's fault if he never wins a Championship."

Poor Lebron.

I see him staying in Cleveland and I'm very happy about it. We need to see more people sticking with their home team. I was glad when Dirk inked his contract and stayed in Dallas, I could never see him anywhere else. Just like Kobe with the Lakers, etc. Cavs fans poured their heart out to LeBron from day one when he was drafted and I would hate to see them lose their player and once again be irrelevant in the NBA for who knows how long.

Is it now possible that the big 3, Wade/LeBron/Bosh may not even end up on the same teams? Odd.

Lots of reports that Bosh and Wade will announce today they are teaming up to sign with Miami. Bad news for the Bobcats if true.

There's no way LeBron alienates his entire hometown by announcing his departure on national television like that. He's staying in Cleveland.

Why would he need an hour to tell us he's gonna stay. The proceeds going to the Boys & Girls club seems like a "peace offering" to me. I think he needs an hour to thank the people of Ohio, but he's moving on. We'll see.

I just hope this canine equestrian extravaganza isn't complete with donning of jersey at the end.

I think he is staying, 3 years, give the hometeam a chance, and then can get out and win a title at the best location available at that time.
