On a side note, can you guys spend the offseason thinking of something a bit better than "thunder up"


It sounds...well just kinda silly, like something from a 70s or 80s cartoon

If it were up to me it would be

"There's a storm coming"

But, you know...

Ay the cat needed Wade and Bosh to win. Not hating just straight up truth. At the end of the day he's still one of the best to play the game there's no doubt. Just telling the truth

Well, who else does your boy KD need to win?

They WERE the favorites and considered the deeper more talented team, right?

WITH HOME COURT ADVANTAGE. (where they just happened to be awesome all year)

This is some happy horseshat. You know the other deal on the table was for him to go to Chicago, where he would have been teamed with another HOF-quality player, right? I guess that would have been better somehow.

If MJ had come open on the FA market and Chicago hadn't done anything else around him, he would have gone someplace where he could have a chance to win too. LeBron handled it in the worst possible manner but I sure don't blame him for dumping a loser organization the second he got a chance.

This also needs to be mentioned. Everyone forgets this, but THE HEAT WEREN"T SUPPOSED TO WIN! The Thunder were the favorite.

So you would give KD Wade and Bosh? And LJ would still win?

The fact that there will be 4 or 5 teams every year who are the class of field doesn't bother me. That's the case most years. It's the fact that the way guys will team up and gravitate to the big market cities will ensure that it will basically be the SAME 4 or 5 teams every year into perpetuity that bothers me.

It's nice to think that a small market team could be managed right and build up to a championship level, and in the past, despite some challenges, that could still happen from time to time. But when all the star players just want to play on a superteam in NY, LA, Miami or Chicago the small market teams will basically just be renting those guys till they go to chase a ring in a big city. That sucks, IMO.

The Lakers and Celtics make up half the NBA titles. Throw in the Bulls and Spurs and Pistons and there you have it. What NBA have you been watching? It's always just a handful of teams winning.

I agree his move to Miami was to better his future. But he handled it in such a poor manner that he came off as a douche, for lack of a better term.

Congrats on his first.

How long are people going to hold that against him? Yes he seemed like a douchebag. A douchebag that donated millions of dollars to the Boys and Girls Club. Because of a free agent special that EVERYONE WATCHED.

Was "the decision" the best idea in the world? Probably not but at one point or another most superstars have a douchie moment. Most of them don't raise $2 million for kids in the process. I think maybe we should just let it go.

Agree. I was a huge, huge LeBron fan before the Decision, and I couldn't defend it. I'm still a big fan of us though.

But look. He apologized, manned up to it, and moved on. That's what you do when you screw up.

Also, I can forgive someone for having a dumb 24 hours with the incredible amount of pressure he's faced since he was 16, and handle it as gracefully as LeBron has.

Absolutely. But he has put enormous pressure upon himself with the infamous soundbite "not 2, not 3," etc.
