    I'm not sure. LeBron is kind of a freak and an ultra competitive dude who could probably get good at anything but physical and athletic ability aren't going to help him there. I don't know how good each of them are.

    It's so Morey to acquire the less valuable Power Ranger pez dispenser from 1999 while missing out the first time on the more valuable one from 1993, smh

    LeBron would never recruit someone like Russ in the first place. He would have kept CP3. LeBron knows the game, he knows that Russ' game isn't compatible with other star players.

    Yes, everyone is a better gm than Morey. Morey got lucky with Harden and has been dookie drawers ever since

    The Thunder were so loaded that they were practically giving Harden away. Why have three future MVPs to feed when you only need two? - Revisionist Historian

    What an awful take.

    Lebron bolts as soon as he sees the ship sinking, while Morey tries to see it through and salvage what can be saved.

    He got out of Miami as soon as Wade and Bosh were washed.

    He got out of Cleveland as soon as Kyrie left, and left them with one of those worst rosters in the league and a Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson contract that nobody wants.

    He went to a Lakers team that had unlimited cap space and young assets that he had 0 hand in helping acquire.

    Why does he keep signing JR Smith then.

    People don’t get it. Lebron never goes to a team and it stays as is. Everytime he joins a team, he has a plan.

    He decided to go to Miami, had buddies Wade, Bosh, and Miller right there with him.

    Went back to Cleveland and traded those #1 picks he left them with and got Love.

    He had Isiah Thomas expiring contract traded to the Lakers to get money off the books for later years so he can create his team. Created space, traded the players he ain’t like for AD. While having enough space for Kawhi (luckily he had his own plan).

    Morey doesn’t have the option to go to a team with assets/space/picks/owners who will spend whenever he wants. He has to stay put.

    I am sure if Morey could play basketball like LeBron, he'd have won multiple championships by now.

    I heard the Morey would be able to beat LeBron in Ping Pong.

    You know it's MUCH easier to build a team when you have Lebron on the Team. I guess that does make Lebron a much better GM since he can guarantee a team getting Lebron.

    Cause he can keep him in line. He’s also someone that can sit on the bench and not b****. Oh and I think hes won a ring with him and is about to get another.

    Westbrick btw is even dumber than smith especially when you take into account the roles they play

    All those insults are going to taste like vomit in your mouth once Westbrook heals and is back to his triple double form. I like CP3 prime fit better but I still have deep respect for an optimized Westbrook.

    Lebron would have won a lot more championships imo if he ever let a decent GM do their job

    He wasn’t talking about LeBron’s competitive nature as a player. What he was saying is LeBron always ducks his tail and runs when he no longer believes he has a super team around him. Other than during his rookie contract in Cleveland, LeBron has played on super teams that he had a hand in constructing.

    Anthony Davis was open to multiple trade destinations until he signed with Klutch Sports, which is an agency run by LeBron’s childhood friend, Rich Paul. It’s not a coincidence that after signing with the agency, Davis was only willing to accept a trade to the Lakers. If Adam Silver had any balls, he would stop Paul from representing current NBA players as long as LeBron James is an NBA employee. It’s a clear conflict of interest.

    Lmao. There’s no such thing as healing a terrible basketball player especially when this one has been on the decline for years

    what’s really vomit is the fact that the rockets are stuck with him for 3 more years. It’s disgusting

    Lol. No. That would imply people like Stromile Swift would be an all time.grrat because he was a freak athlete.


    Dunning-kruger effect in action here. The point work someone like LeBron puts in definitely shows he is a competitor.
