PLUS he's got some grape cigarillos and an eighth of Purple Urkle , 4 different phones for each time zone, carmex and some magnums.
Kareem was traded because he was viewed as someone that didn't try as hard as he should have and wasn't a team player.... even after he was on the Lakers he was criticized for years as being too soft and not committed enough.... I hope you aren't talking about Dr. J because it took Moses Malone coming into town to get anything done.... Hakeem was viewed as a loser for a long time as well. It is funny that all these guys won titles after being surrounded by other great players.
Isnt It !?!? Almost like its really REALLY hard to win a championship all by yourself. Huh. Go figure and so many people expected James to win with Dwight as he was crying for touches in the post! LOL .. then Paul who embraced the food more than the court while here and then Russ who's alpha personality was a train wreck with a sigma like James. Crazy to think that Christian Wood will be the best offensive big man James has ever played with and he's still in development mode. Thanks Daryl !
Kobe too. He was a hothead who got entangled in a rape case, drove Shaq out of town, lost to the Suns in the first round while infamously quitting in the fourth quarter of the deciding game, and loudly demanded a trade. Then all of a sudden Pau arrives, the team improves and wins championships, Kobe is a hero, the face of the Lakers, has two numbers retired, and is celebrated across the league after his tragic death.
I mean Dwight Howard literally averaged near the same amount pts per game in the Blazers series on better efficiency.
After their careers and knowing their personalities, Shaw probably is the one who drove himself out of town. Kobe had some rigjtful needs with Shaw in terms of work ethic and being ultra petty. Shaw is pretty petty. "Ringz Erneh!" "Google me Chuck". And Pao was an all-star, not a top 5 level player and superstar. And last time I checked that Suns team is far superior to the Blazers team Harden was eliminated from in the first round with a supurior supporting cast at the time.
Yuck, this thread is getting a little too specific, lol. Don't make me think about James this way.....
No one knows what that post means. One mistake people have with twitter/insta and celebs in general is thinking that anything they post is related to their job. could be an inside joke, could be something personal, could just be his way of saying stay out of bidness. Who knows.
All those guys had hall-of-famer supporting casts in their prime. That is the difference. Name one player other than one season of CP3(hamstring away) on all of Harden's teams that were as good as these guys. Kobe - Shaq, Gasol+Bynum Kareem - Magic, Worthy, Scott, Erving - Didn't win crap until they got Moses Hakeem - first championship was by himself, but second championship he had Drexler. Hakeem was first round fodder for while after 86. Bird - McHale, Parish, Ainge, Walton
