In the words of the greatest basketball player ever


Michael Jordan: "There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'"

Jordan already had one of the top 50 players of all fucking time on his team. :-)

So, did Jordan have to switch teams lmao?


I guess Wade and Bosh are garbage players now. Chopped liver.

Are you stupid? What point are you trying to make? What top-50 player of all time did Wade or Lebron have on their teams in 2009-2010?

You don't think Wade or LeBron is a top 50 player of our time?


I'm saying is that Jordan or Kobe never had to switch teams.

Would you have considered Pippen a Top 5 player during that time?

Plus Pippen was drafted by the Sonics and then traded on draft night to the Bulls so it is not like he was brought there with the knowledge of what he turn into.

Jordan already had will purdue guys

No, but if you already have 2 star players on the same team there wouldn't be the need to bring in a player of his caliber.

15 divided by 5 is 3.

That's one ring every 3 years. You can look at it that way.

You could also compare Kobe's hardware from his first 8 years to Lebron's first 8 (the score would be 3-0 if you didn't know).

MJ didn't win his first until his 8th year. I guess Kobe > MJ then, huh? :-)

Shaq had much more to do with those first 3 rings than Kobe. If Bron had an in-his-prime Shaq in Cleveland he'd probably have some jewelry.

No argument from me. Lebron wasn't surrounded with very good players and I don't know if he demanded that or not with the Cavs.

The Cavs should have made the trade to get Amare instead of Jamison and Lebron probably would have stayed

Well he didn't get it done last year with Wade and Bosh... so speculate all that you would like.
