Drexler?
Payton?
Malone?
Stoudamire now along with Carmello....

There are many many players that walked to get a ring either early or late career. You cannot hang that one on Lebron. It shows an ignorance of NBA history.

-Garnett was traded.
-Iverson was traded and he took his team to the Finals
-Shaq made the Finals with his original team, but he left for a weaker team. He went for the $$$.
-Barkley was traded
-Drexler was traded and he made the Finals multiple times with Portland
-Payton bolted, but he was already 35
-Malone was 40 and made the Finals multiple times with Utah
-Stoudemire didn't bolt to a contender and Carmelo was traded


None of those guys bolted to another team like LeBron did. LeBron joined two other superstars through free agency, had his own special on ESPN for "The Decision", and is not even the alpha dog on his own team.

Just as we don't need to pet his inadequacies..If he only plays three quarters, he only plays three quarters. Lets stop making prince James out to be the next heir apparent. Because apparently the only "air" he has comes out when he talks. Stop talking and start producing.

You can give a man all the athletic ability in the world, but if he has no heart,...he has no will...Look at Mike Tyson. Was really just a bully. When people stood up to him, he folded...Sort of like Lebron. Got outplayed by a four foot puerto rican..Nothing against Puerto rican's but their not known for their basketball play..Baseballs more their game.

You do realize James made the finals with his original team as well, right?

Just curious as you seem to be trying to make a point that other guys got to the finals with their original team as some kind of differentiating factor

The other guys didn't bolt to a team with 2 top 10 players in their primes.
