@hellhound61: curious lang ko bai asa gikan imo hate ni lbj. is it :
a. leaving cleveland
b. leaving cleveland at the peak of his game
c. leaving cleveland at the peak of his game and joining other stars
d. all of the above.
e. you just dont like him.
I'm by no chance a lebron fan or a kobe or an MJ fan, ang player nga akong ganahan ever:
magic johnson and shaq.
im not in for name calling and flame baiting but just trying to understand why you dislike the guy. It may sound like a james defense, but its not. Its just logic. I just want to point out the following things:
1. Free Agency gives one the liberty to choose teams, james opted out of cleveland (not in the best way), and it became a media circus (-1 on that). 7 years of cleveland is loyalty enough. I dont know why they have a feeling of betrayal, from a business standpoint... he gave his end of the bargain. james probably felt betrayed by him losing years of his prime and not getting the support he needs or wanted from his team.
2. Players will have to consider career moves that will lead them to their goals... like a championship, there are no rules against joining other superstars... that only increases chances of them achieving their individual goals, as well as making these career choices at your prime. ngano mag huwat man ka malaya ka when you are still highly valued. Even from a General Manager standpoint bai, I want my team to have the best possible players around, thats why the salary cap plays a role on this. Bibby gave up a 6 million contract believing he is where he needs to be, from a career standpoint.... trading money for the chance of a championship... an NBA player's individual dream. I seriously doubt naay NBA player whose dream is to play with loyalty to a team bahalag di kadaog ug championship.
3. Salary Caps, in its own way, was implemented to protect the league against "pamugas", or the hogging of all the good players through money. some players play for lesser money as it will feel less important than their chances of winning a championship.
4. people can just hate other people for no real reason.
