    I just saw Game 7 and didn't need to see anything else. Game 7 was seriously the worst, most obviously one-sided officiated game, especially in the fourth quarter since Game 7 of the Kings/Lakers in 2003.

    Say's he wouldn't have done what LeBron did.

    :rolleyes:

    Is that why you demanded a trade a couple years ago, ya douche?

    Did you just insert facts into a hate filled argument? That's a no-no. :grin:

    I don't recall Kobe getting an hour on ESPN to announce what teams were in the running.

    Lebrons management put a championship contender team for the last few years, Kobe's didn't. Garbage like Smush, Kwame and Walton being your starters aren't exactly laudable moves by the management

    The question wasn't about the special, it was about going to Miami.

    Putting a bunch of scrubs around LeBron isn't exactly laudable, even if LeBron was able to make them contenders.

    Yea he wasn't looking to play with his main competitors. He played with Pau who everone is saying is one of the best big men in the league now but when he was with memphis he was just a Good Pf who couldn't carry a team on his own and would be a better 2nd option. He said he wanted respectable talent, not smush and kwame who were out of the league the next year in his starting line up. Thats different from wanting that and then singing to play with the dwayne wade and chris bosh

    Kobe himself demanded a trade out of LA, what grounds does he have for saying that he wouldn't have done the same thing if he were in LeBron's shoes?

    He didn't ask Pau to come play, he DEMANDED a trade out of LA. You think if Kobe got traded to Orlando with Dwight or Miami with Wade that he would have rejected the deal?

    Kobe had the right to demand a trade, the management was incompetent while Cleveland served to Lebron's needs and brought in the players that helped him being so successful in the regular season. He didn't get the job done.

    Are you calling these guys all-stars?? They are basically low level role palyers.

    Didn't see them on any "all nba" teams.

    Ok, who on that team is good? None is close to Pau Gasol.

    are they as bad as Parker, Walton and Kwame Brown? I don't think so. Those 3 were legit garbage players who didn't belong in the league, while Cleveland's trio are quality players.
