Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

The Jordan/Pippen comparisons don't fit IMO, although they are fun to play with. The real sports comparison is Jeter/A-Rod.

DWade is the career franchise player with the polished image that has already won a title without the other guy; beloved by the hometown team and has the leadership qualities of a champion (Jeter). Lebron is the more-talented, image-consious-but-image-damaged star without the leadership qualities; jumps from city to city looking for a title; never to be fully embraced by the city. (A-Rod)

Now if we can just get Lebron to illegally slap the ball out of Paula Pierce's hands on a sidelines out of bounds play in Game 7 of the Eastern Conf. Finals, then the comparison would be complete.

The Lakers and Celtics tussled all the way to the end of Game 7, but afterward, the most memorable moment was not a Kobe Bryant shot or Kevin Garnett rebound. It was Ron Artest thanking his shrink. Alas, Ron-Ron's shrink apparently does not work with LeBron James; if so, they could have done some heavy narcissism therapy and saved us all from "The Decision," which was, to put it mildly, the worst idea in the history of the universe.

I still think "Legends and Leaders" was a worse idea than "The Decision"

Its close, but the Big Ten still has an opportunity to fix that mistake. Mrs. James-Wade (I think he's earned the right to use his maiden name) still refuses to acknowledge his error or apologize for it.

I actually agree that contraction would help the NBA, but he probably isn't the best person to be talking about it...

As do I (and by contraction, I mean the entire league), but he's hardly the person that should be talking about it...unless he's finally realized that he's never gonna be a "good guy" again and is embracing being the villain.

Lets just get rid of the salary cap and the draft. Just let players sign with the team they want to play for out of HS or college.

to piggy back....your city's population must be greater than 5 million people to have a team.... fuck the nba and the bullshit that it has become... i hope it folds, and takes the AAU with it.
