Sorry. NBA is like my 4th favorite sport. I'm incompetent. But i'm still not sure this is the rule.

What three do you like more than the NBA?

College/International wrestling, NFL, MLB. Maybe 3rd. Sometimes I like it more than MLB

Wasn't a criticism of the approach even though I don't love it. It's about the players in the system. As long as one player is holding the ball for 15 seconds, another volume shooter who creates off the dribble isn't. Kyrie and Lebron could never seem to get along in terms of splitting that workload. Understandably. They both thrive off of lots of iso touches

They were a top 3 defensive team when Kyrie was playing too. They would have been just fine defensively with Kyrie healthy and a lot better offensively. That last god awful stretch in game 7 would have been completely different with a scorer of Kyrie's caliber.

You really believe that Lebron is the one who made Kyrie leave? What the fuck was Lebron doing? Making fun of his tiny dick in the shower?

Kyrie himself said he wanted his own legacy and didn't want to be known as the next Pippen (in so many words). Lebron already gave him a goddamn ring and was apparently poised to stick around for his entire career. What could Lebron possibly have done to make life so miserable for Kyrie that he wants to just leave the situation entirely?
[Reply]

Lebron probably had some hand in it. Though kyrie is probably far more responsible. Didn't help that Lebron was publicly floating comments about trying to trade him. But quite possible the damage was already done by kyrie and his foot was out the door before Lebron made that comment.

With Kyrie and Hayward plus lots of offseason ammo, and with Philly having tons to work with, I don't think it's at all a foregone conclusion that the east will be a cakewalk next year if Lebron stays in Cleveland. Boston and Philly are probably an offseason away from being really good (assuming the Philly front office isn't a time bomb)

Everything about the Cavs is controlled by LeBron. From the players to the coach. On top of that, the successes of the team are are because of LeBron while the rest of the team bears all the failure. Also when players start playing bad, LeBron gets on social media to put out little passive aggressive messages to them. Remember him tweeting "Either fit in or fit out" to Kevin?

That's not exactly the best work environment LeBron has created.

You mean the ref that was CLEARLY looking at the ball/action and CLEARLY not looking at Bron didn't see Bron's ONE quick timeout motion? Must be a conspiracy!!

See 4:40 to 4:50 mark.

Working with Lebron has to feel bipolar. One hand, you're incredibly grateful to have him. Other hand, he is incredibly difficult to work with. Mj was that way too, but Mj could also go with the flow and for Mj it was always strictly business (didn't need the extracurricular perks). This time around in Cleveland he had insane leverage with the way he structured his short term contracts

It's not Lebron's fault that Kyrie wanted to leave. That's what was reported by Brian Windhorst (or whatever his name is from ESPN).

You can go ahead and say, "Yeah, I don't believe that at all," but that was what was put out by the media when Kyrie requested the trade.

That one is NOT on Lebron.
