    Look, I don't like that KD joined the Warriors (the NBA loved it), but it took guts to bail on Russell Westbrook. At least the other Warrior All-Stars are okay ego-wise to let Durant do his thing; Westbrook is not so egalitarian on the court.

    LeBron? Let's hope he gets nut-hugged as a Rocket. ;)

    And Rockets1995: Back away from the keyboard and put your hands in the air where I can see them.

    Oh you millennial minded fans have so much to learn (yawns). Lebron is a goat player. I don't believe he's top 5 but he's certainly the best player in the social media era. No need to get so emotional lil bro. Lebron STARTED this trend of forming superteams to put the advantages in his favor. KD did the same thing but did it better. Yet we criticize KD? Well KD didn't start the trend Lebron did. That's 100% facts

    Bro you talk about LeBron like he murdered your entire family. And we're talking about emotional? Lmao. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he joins the Rockets and your fake fan ass gets exposed. Unlike you if KD or KG or even Kobe were a Rocket I'd be 100% behind them.

    Leaving WB was a SMART move. I don't like the fact he went to GS, given how good they were. But let's not make him the posterboy for "superteams". when we know who "took their talents to South Beach" first. All I'm saying here

    And no team has loyalty to its players.

    It's all one big ass circle jerk.

    I talk about Lebron like he what? I just called him a goat in the post above lol. You're just emotional simply because I don't agree he's top 5 goat status. Really? That's a SERIOUS Lebron obsession you have there buddy. People are already prepared for him to leave Cleveland, which will be his THIRD time leaving one team for another team. So let's not single out KD for leaving OKC when Lebron's doing this multiple times. Facts

    But players should have loyalty to their teammates. You can't leak to the media places "you may go" next season while you're still in a season with your current team. Maybe it's a millennial thing, but that's not good for the game of basketball. Lebron's turned this league into a media circus around HIM

    But the refs can't save LeBron from JR Smith. :D

    I didn't watch the game. But JR's dumbness was aired on national news!

    Why?

    They're not forever bonded together. There's no marriage involved when it comes to being a good teammate while you're there.

    There have been plenty of teammates that I've loved working/playing with, but I eventually left for a better opportunity from the one that we were currently involved in.

    I don't ever see anyone b****ing about Kobe pushing his way to become a Laker after he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets. He should have somehow been loyal to the team that drafted him, no?

    At the end of the day it's all a game and if you win a title or multiple that's just more hardware for you be remembered for. Plus you make it seem as though he's already left. He just almost beat the "unbeatable" Warriors on their homecourt while playing for his hometown Cavs (and would have if it weren't for dumbass JR). Yet somehow that's still not enough for y'all. Get over yourselves.

    Leaking to the media a list of teams you may go to while playing with your current team is not disloyal? You don't understand the b****ness in that? Again, maybe it's a generational thing. I just can't respect that type of diva-ish attention whoring. Changing teams every few years, for the sole reason of tipping the odds in your favor, is the easy route to greatness. I guess the competitiveness is dead among this generation of fans. Sad


    Why even bring Kobe into this? lol. Lebron is Lebron. Apple & Oranges. Steve Francis did the same thing when he was drafted, do we bring him up too? The Lakers went into rebuild mode, and Kobe STAYED there, at the detriment of his career. Why? Because he wanted to beat the best not join the best & form a superfriends team. But again, a different generation, different era etc..


    Let's not forget before Golden State was Golden State, Miami was the leagues Golden State. Miami had the most talented team in the NBA and NOBODY had any pity on the less talented teams they played. The whole purpose of joining Wade & Bosh was too become "unbeatable", yet we're supposed feel sorry for Lebron now? All Lebron got was praise when he had all the talent on his side lol. You should probably get over yourself before anybody

    Can the league stop James from coming to Houston? I would think they would do anything to prevent a Harden/CP3/James trio in Houston. They would probably claim it would throw off parity in the league.

    Dude, what the hell does this sentence mean?

    gambling example las vegas summer league? huh?

    Summer league has ALWAYS been around , do you even know what you are talking about? do you know what summer league is?
    There were several summer leagues, Utah, Orlando, and Sacramento which has been going on since 2001.

    It's where all the rookies and scrubs play. what does this have to do with gambling?


    What's up with the run on sentences??
