No... I certainly won't be reminiscing over that class. To me all this friendship bull**** ruined the NBA for what it used to be. Basketball was better back then.
I think it can change, frankly we need a draft class with assholes. A draft class with two or three top players who hate each other's guts and vomit at the idea of the other holding the MVP or O'Brien trophy. Guys who spend their careers going after each other and punching reporters for suggesting they team up.
You're missing what I had to say. Friending up and ruining what this league is all about for years. You compete for a championship... by teaming up and taking that competition that once existed away and taking the easy way out to win a championship to me is just stupid. But anyways, there's no way I'll ever give those 3 in Miami the credit they deserve for winning a title if they do in fact win one. All 3's legacies having taken a major dent.
