I believe so many people dont like lebron because he left for another team. Jordan (6 rings), kobe (5 rings), duncan(5), Dirk (1) has so much respect because they stayed with their team.

for lebron to come to miami to create a powerhouse, and now wades wheels are falling off, if he goes to another team it just makes his legacy/rings worth less. Lebron technically has 1 ring, Ray allen saved his legacy last year with that 3 and everyone knows it.

Just as I predicted, Lebron appears to be headed out of town.

Doesn't mean for sure 100% he's gone, but still.

Lebron is the kind of guy that wants to considered among the top 5 greatest to ever play the game. And that will take more than 2 rings.

Wade is a shadow of himself. Bosh no longer a reliable option either. Lebron sees the writing on the wall and he wants more rings.

and allen is slowing down on defense. haslam is too small. birdman is not the blocking machine he once was. Lewis is also done.


lebron is the only solid guy in miami. bosh was an allstar but was never a superstar.

while a top 5/top10/top15 list is very subjective, lebron isnt exactly the only top player to not have a ton of rings.
i mean the big O has but a single mvp, and a single ring. he is very often put in the top tier of players.
wilts only got 2 rings. (thanks a lot bill russell!)
larry bird with only 3.

heres a nice list of all the players with more rings than lebron.
NBA Championships: Players With Most Championship Rings.

while rings are a great measuring stick of a team, and a player, they are not the end all be all of a players legacy.
i mean how many do malone and stockton have? or glide, or even hakeem, charles barkley? i mean those are all some of the greatest players in history.

i know. technically adam morrison has more rings than malone and stockton combined, and he done it in a few years compared to over 35 years between stock and malone. it doesnt make adam morrison a legend but still.

Lets just hope LeBron doesn't team up with Carmelo Anthony because that would be lame.

In that spirit,

Lebron goes back to Cleveland.

Carmelo goes to Greece.

Ahhh, what a perfect world that would be.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want Carmelo to play in Greece?
