Yea but Miami fans are just Bandwagon douches I could care less if they are proud of their championship. If someone actually has ties to Miami for some reason I'll give them props but if they have lived in Houston their whole life and never watched Miami til they got the big 3 they can suck it because they aren't real sports fans. I have friends that live in Dallas, my grandparents live in Dallas and yah they will Gloat if they get a championship but damn atleast they deserve it they've had enough years of disappointment. Threatening to leave is different then actually leaving...
That's because we aren't in the EC and we arent even close to Miami. You don't think Miami fans talk ****?
Kobe in his prime has a few pretty bad defeats in the playoffs even with loaded teams. Also, though he has five rings, he has only two finals MVP's -- can't forget he was second fiddle to Shaq during the first three-peat. Dude is certainly about the closest we've seen so far, but just goes to show how hard it will be to match Mike.
Yes, threatening to leave and demanding a trade when you're under contract is very different from actually leaving when you're a free agent.
............................reading comprehension fail. Jordan's second year in the league, where he faced one of the all time great teams in the 1986 Boston Celtics, was the one time he got swept. While Kobe could be swept by a Dallas team whose second best player is Jason Terry.
Hakeem demanding a trade was nowhere near as bad as what Melo did, and he didn't leave Houston. He didn't make a spectacle about it and humiliate Houston did he? No or we wouldn't have our 2 championship banners...
Of course it's not as bad as what Melo did. But you weren't talking about Melo, you were talking about Lebron, who was a free agent and exercised his right to leave his team.
He exercised it in the wrong way though, you don't make a public spectacle when you're going to rip your home teams heart out. If he would have just signed with another team like anyone else it would have been different.
Jordan is Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan. Kobe is like the Eagles or Garth Brooks: the numbers are there, but you'd still have to convince some people.
