Steven A Smith is mad ghetto and tells basketball players to dress nice and act white or else they wont make it and the league should ban them....hes mad ghey

i stopped reading after this. Using the argument of "what did bosh do before the playoffs (i.e. he performed in the playoffs" to prove that he's worse than someone who completely DISAPPEARED in the playoffs, is a retarded point to use.

Their team is almost entirely based on its defense. Boozer was a HORRIBLe defender on a great defensive team. At least bosh's help defense was pretty good for most of the playoffs, at least until dirk schooled the fuck out of him. But boozer was getting torched all playoffs and that's why you had Taj Gibson in there more often than not.

Not to mention boozer can't play miami's style of basketball. Their game is predicated on getting turnovers (WITH THEIR DEFENSE) and pushing the ball up court for easy baskets. You have boozer and you can't do either of those.

Boozer sucks balls. He'd be a guaranteed injury

I never started reading

Reading? Whats that?

uh....
The yankees are the ONLY team that can hoard superstars.

there's a salary cap in every other league. stick to hockey, eh?

i wasnt referring to this current year. but even in hockey before the lockout they hoarded superstars expecting them to be unbeatable. but all they had was a bunch of puck hogs who couldnt play together

Hockey talk = sports fan fail

football is the ultimate team sport. no one is going to harp on a cornerback for changing teams. you need almost all of your 52 man roster to win.

In basketball, you only need 7 or 8, and your 1 or 2 main players have a gigantic impact on the game. don't compare the two

not to mention it's a terrible analogy to attribute changing teams with lack of heart. Lack of heart is being one of the most talented guys in your sport but going to another team to defer to another player so you "don't have to be the man". Deion sanders was the man whereever he was going to be. He also performed when it mattered. Lebron has no heart because he CHOKES

lol i wasn't comparing the 2. but the other guy was.

if anything your post confirms what my point was which cannot fault lebron for picking Miami which of all the realistic choices he had was the best chance to win a ring.

but still even if you throw a bunch of guys together its still hard to win in the NBA.

yeah free agency did not exist in the NFL until the early 90's and when it came on guys like Deion Sanders jumped from team to team and picked up rings. did that mean he had no heart? or did he simply want to win? he won with the 49ers and with the cowboys.

As usual Stevie Boy you and I will have to agree to disagree my friend. The long and the short of it is this. Lebron truly had the opportunity to put himself in basketball lore alongside Micheal. By leaving Cleveland hanging in the wind and opting instead to try the easy way out, he blew it. No one is arguing his RIGHT to do it. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Had he hung in there and brought a title to the titleless town, he would have carved his name in a rock. As it is, title or no title, he will be nothing more than just another guy who played basketball. He wasted an opportunity most of us could only dream of. And on top of it all he is truly acting like a punk. No class.
