"Building around LeBron was miserable" -David Griffin (article)

[BigTyme Records]

This is a non story


Is building a title contender fun? No

All mega stars like Bron, Kobe, MJ etc have all had problems with management etc. Complete non story

Lebron cant say that playing for the lakers

Lakers are no different then any other team. They haven't been good in a decade

Yall think players are really telling themselves "Im on the Lakers now. No more fukking around "

But Lebron got AD, you would hope that lights the fire

This whole thing is stupid as hell.

1. When has building a championship team been fun and easy ever? Sound like this nikka the one who doesn’t care about winning and wants to coast. Nikka resume wouldn’t be shyt without Lebron . Enjoy losing in NO.


2. In what world does Lebron get all praise and no blame? This nikka is probably the most criticized sports figure ever lol.


3. Lebron has proven everything that he’s needed to prove in the league. I don’t believe his winning mindset has changed, but even if he did wanna go to LA just to finish out his career, shyt who cares? He earned that shyt.

Really? The overwhelming narrative for most of Brons career was he needed more help .the warriors have led to him getting more criticism

Going at Lebron after trading him AD is like poking a sleeping Bear and asking to get mauled.

The Pelicans roster now have sole responsibilities of back this shyt up on the court next season, because Bron will definitely have some left for N.O.

LeBron only played 55 games and was only healthy for about 30 of them.

LOL. In the games he played LeBron went 28-27. 1 game above .500.

And don't give me this he wasn't healthy mess. He said himself in February he was "activating playoff mode". Then he proceeded to lose just about every game down the stretch. Many of them to the worst teams in the league.

You can't escape the monumental failure that was last year with an excuse about injuries. As the players always say, if you're out there on the court then you're healthy.

Lebron did say he was the goat after that ring so what’s the point in competing​

I may come off bias being a Laker fan but Griff is sounding like a real bytch in this article

And this the same dude that drafted Anthony Bennett 1st overall.....

Thing is though, nearly every superstar in every sports league have had horrible leadership/teamwork flaws.

Jordan was an egomaniac dikk.
Durant is a insecure headcase with passive leadership skills.
Kobe was a selfish recluse.
Aaron Rodgers is a smug know it all.
A Rod was a self centered diva. Same with Bonds.
Manning was a consistent playoff choker.

Even Curry (who is seen as the ultimate ideal teammate) is a defensive liability in playoff basketball and loses alot of his offensive potency when hes guarded very physically.

Brady, Jeter and Duncan are pretty much the only exceptions to the rule.

You forget Andrew Christopher Brees. The guy Griff is making sure Zion latches to as much as possible.

Jordan has a completely different and fake public vs private persona on some Hillary Clinton shyt.

Did you not watch Jordan's Hall of Fame speech in 2009?

He's never hidden the fact he's an a$$hole. It was the media that hid his true persona so they could market him to white America. There was even a book called "The Jordan Rules" that talked about how the media in the 90s protected Jordan by not revealing the type of guy he really was.

Jordan was not fake. He just had a marketing team that controlled his image in the media during an era before social media. People just had the wrong image of Jordan in their mind because of the way the media protected him. Whenever people actually got to see Jordan for themselves (rather than the image the media created) you saw shyt like he did during the 2009 Hall of Fame speech where he showed the type of a$$hole he is.

"No point guard" yet the lakers were even worse without Zo than they were without Bron, and Rondo was the only real leader on the team

are you going to hook me up with those KD and Steph threads or nah?

 

[Xyrax]

This sounds perfect to me....


Those years Lebron went back to Cleveland, they were:

• The most successful years in Cavs History
• The only time they ever got a chip
• The likely last time they will be relevant in a long time.

Pretty much any era in the history of the Cavs outside of those years, the Cavs were a terribly run team that achieved nothing other than wasting draft picks and being a laughing stock...


Is anyone really shocked that when something came along and forced them into being COMPETENT that they were uncomfortable and hated it? Wasn't there another story out about how after Lebron won them that ring how the front office was happy to "Have the reigns of their team back"?

LeBron James Rumors: Dan Gilbert Said 'I'll Get My Team Back' If Star Departs
LeBron James Rumors: Dan Gilbert Said 'I'll Get My Team Back' If Star Departs


Yeah... so... They couldn't wait to get back "in control" to continue the mediocrity. Lebron brought that team a ring despite its incompetency and they still don't deserve to have a ring. But he forced them into a winning position and it sounds like they hated every minute of it.

How is this news ?

People already knew this shyt without him even saying anything

Yeah and the average observer was shocked by the speech because as I said dude had a public and private persona and the private one came out in public that day.

Hey hey hey now, we weren't tampering, I don't even like Lebron like that!

This conspiracy theory makes zero sense because the shots David Griffin sent his way are DEVASTATING. Griffin essentially cosigned the Skip Bayless/Rob Parker narrative on LeBron. No way LeBron would want something like that out there.

This was not a cover for them tampering. David Griffin's criticism is more damaging to LeBron's legacy than any "tampering" would have.
