NBA Master Thread

How about?
JR smith who went from being a knicks reject to a starter on a championship team and getting a contract bigger than $50 million
He turned Tristan Thompson who is just an energy guy and rebounder into a max player until he starting slacking off.

Don't know about the last two. If he made these two players better then they must have really sucked because both are duds!!! If you don't believe me just look back through this thread and see what Cleveland cheerleaders say about them.

What does what Jordon have to with players being better or worse with/without LeBron?

People were talking about whether lebron is a blessing or a curse for a team. There are parallels with Jordan. Regardless, even if from a players perspective (Eg kyrie) it’s better to be the alpha dog the team may not care.

yep that's what you do best. You see what you want to see and you hear what you want to hear. If you read my whole post you would have the answer to your question.

You don't have to take it from me. You can take it from his teammate:

Only parallels for the ill-informed. Jordon never turned his back on the team no matter how you try and twist it. Chicago fans never burnt his jersey when he went to play baseball. We didn't need to be hypocrites when he returned because we wished him well when he left.

True chicago fans call him "Jordon?"

Will Kyrie say the same thing?

That's your answer?

[mochjas]

Will Kyrie say the same thing?

he should if he's telling the truth. Before Lebron showed up he couldn't even make it to the playoffs in the east.

I'm sure there are lots of clips with Kyrie praising Lebron paging @TimT

Don't expect me to go searching for them though

No one is disputing LeBron made the team better. He will make any team better. I would like to hear what Kyrie has to say now that he is no longer with CLE.

I don't see why that matters. But it's good to hear you say something nice about Lebron

Espn radio said the other day that he doesn't like to play in practice anymore...

Im sure they know better than the people who are actually a part of the practice. Either way practice is more than playing

[ChaimMoskowitz]

That isn't nice, it is just plain fact. Another fact is CLE would not have a championship without Kyrie or Lebron.

I don't think anyone would argue with you on this. You are trying to say that Lebron doesn't make his teammates better, which to anyone who watches any NBA and is not biased will know that that is incorrect

Best way to judge is when players come to the team or when they leave the team. Would you agree Love's best years were not with CLE so far?

no I would not. He won a championship in Cleveland and couldn't sniff the playoffs in Minnesota. Not everything is about numbers. Winning is what matters. (Not necessarily winning at all I know you think teams 2-30 are all the same but no one else thinks like that)
