He was never going to be Jordan, but now he won't even be better than Kobe.

He's already better than Kobe.

Rings are rings. Magic Johnson won 5 rings playing sidekick to Kareem, the NBA all time leading scorer and a 5xMVP, and most people here will tell you Magic's the best PG of all time. LeBron is, and will be fine. Cleveland, not so much. They'll never get another player as good as LeBron after what their owner said. I can promise you that.

Lebron has no rings, so you act like he's the greatest of all time. And Cleveland didnt throw Dan Gilbert under the bus, Dan Gilbert did, but Brown did do some dumb things. Maybe we'll find someone who can win us a ring, obviously Lebron wasnt good enough.

And thanks for answering my questions, or not.

Nobody wants to come to Cleveland. Even your GM Danny Ferry bolted from town before the decision. Dan Gilbert is the problem, and until he sells the team, you guys wont be competitive or relevant to the NBA.

KT I agree with you on just about everything but the Kobe comment, there is no way Lebron is already better than Kobe. Not saying he can't, or won't but right now if the world ended. Kobe is a better player in the history of the NBA

Whats funny is last year you said Mike Brown wasn't good and he was one of the reasons Lebron and the Cavs kept having early exits in the playoffs despite having the best record in the league. Now you say he was wrongfully canned only because it makes your point better about the Cavs owner being a dick. I've never seen someone flip flop and make up stuff more than you. lol Lebron is not Ohio or Cleveland. Ohio is a football state. The Buckeyes mean way more to them than Lebron. The Browns and the Indians both mean way more to them than Lebron. It's kind of like us and the Hurricanes. I don't care about them and a ton of people around here didn't care about them but we all cheered like hell when they were in the finals just to have a pro team win one here but we would much rather have the Bobcats or Panthers win.

Brown wasnt good and he was one of the reasons LeBron and the Cavs kept having early exits in the playoffs despite having the best record in the league. But no one screamed "loyalty" or "letting know in advance" then. It was business as usual. My point is that, I dont feel sorry for them because they did the same thing. Their owner was out tryna bring in Tom Izzo and lure him away from MSU all summer. Booted his GM out. This is business. Its not LeBron's fault he's not as good an exec as say a Pat Riley. Pat Riley isnt berating players publicly on ESPN. He's not giving emotional rants to incite racism and animosity towards his forward employees. He's alot classier than that. As for Cleveland, the fact they havent paid homage to LeBron and properly thanked him for the 7 years he gave them shows what kinda town they are. They would've never sniffed a Finals without him. You say its a football state, but damn man. What have the Browns done? The Bungles? The Indians? LeBron was everything to that state. Still is. They'll never get over him.

Conveniently left out the Buckeyes. Everyone of my friends and family were upset he left but were over it the next day. Lebron is not even close to everything in that state. Buckeyes football is what they all get up for. No one meets up to watch the Cavs. Even with Lebron we never talked Cavs. It's really not that important to them. You're going by the 3 redneck drunk guys, that the media went out searching for, burning that Lebron jersey. Im not sure where you get this info from but its wrong. Way wrong. Im sure some are really upset but its not in the numbers that you're talking about.

Man KT people love to gang up on you.

I have a question for all and any of you.... What do players of any sport owe fans/cities???

I understand that my views might not be the same as others but, I dont look for anything more than what the players are willing to give up. On or off the court.

I have never once heard LeBron say that he wanted to be the best player ever. I have heard ESPN, talk radio and people on here say that.

I have never heard Lebron refer to himself The King/Chosen one. I have heard ESPN, talk radio and people on here say that.

I have never heard LeBron say that he was better than Jordan/Kobe.. I have heard ESPN, talk radio and people on here say that.

I dont know what the big deal is with you people. He is just doing what he wants to do and I dont see the problem with anything that Bron did.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
