Doesnt matter if it's a different time. The great ones and their image will always stay the same. Jordan didnt give up when he lost to the Pistons 3 years in a row. Kobe didnt leave LA after Shaq left. They got good players to join, and they even lost an NBA finals series with Gasol, so you contradict your own point. If you're going to downgrade Kobe for having Shaq and Gasol, then you should definatley do the same to someone who was going to challenge Jordan as the greatest ever.

And he didnt even have the class to tell the Cavs. Cleveland worshipped him, and he didnt even have the balls to tell them first. He had to have the limelight, national tv, a whole hour on espn all to himself. How about some class and tell the owner and fans who supported you for 7 years first.

Cheap championships wont earn you the honor of G.O.A.T. which is what everyone has been saying since his freshman year of highschool

I like Kobe, so no, I'm not downgrading Kobe. However, I'm not going to downgrade Lebron just because he wants to try something else.

If he is not happy doing what he is doing right now, I would hope he makes some changes.

Basically, I just want to see how this plays out. This could be a great thing with implications we have not thought of, or it will fail like I predict it will. People are damning this situation without first seeing how it turns out. Give this poo a chance.

I'm downgrading Lebron because he admitted he couldn't lead a team to a championship. In Chicago he'd be batman, in NY he'd be batman, in Miami he's robin.

Rings are rings, though.

But he couldn't. He was there how many years? He never did lead them to a championship. Sometimes the truth hurts. I would've liked to have seen him win multiple titles in Cleveland, but I am more excited about his move.

You would be excited to see "the king" the "chosen one" be a follower. His image will never be the same, why cant you see that? His legacy will take a huge blow that he will regret.

You probably would have said it's ok if Jordan left after 6 years in Chicago and no championships. Jordan didnt give up on his team, but then again, Lebron is proving everyday he is no Jordan

Miami should be interesting to watch but I am not a fan of these "power teams" I think it unbalances the competition in the NBA to make it more like professional wrestling or the Generals vs. The Globetrotters.

I don't blame LeBron for taking less money to play with his friends Bosh and Wade though. He could've possibly handled things better than an hour long waste of time and eff you to Cleveland, but that's why I didn't watch and just Googled the decision at the end.

He is going to make so much more money by going to Miami.....might not be in actually salary but he will be making a ton more money. Nike might be the biggest winner in this whole thing, especially if he wins a championship.

Thing is he could sign for vet minimum and still make tons of money. When it is all said and done his contract is really a trivial amount compared to endorsements and business ventures.
