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

[Listen]

I mean, he basically said the same things Kyrie said, so that must mean people felt a certain way about what it’s like to have LeBron come back home.

If I’m a GM and I have the best player but he wants to play a certain way, and with certain players and with certain coaches....that would make my job unfun as fukk lmao.

But why cant i come out with that? He clearly has an issue with confronting a player with equal equity. How does one reach the pinnacle of his career in winning a ship and still feel terrorized? I’ll tell you...its likely an ordinary white male who felt threatened by a player having that equality. And here you appear backing where the opinion is tooted in. Stop carrying the water for these dudes. You look like a tool

You’re conveniently ignoring Lebron’s underhanded tactics to get players traded and coaches fired, him forcing people to give everyone and their mother a job in the organization, letting his staff ride the team plane, etc. That’s not empowerment, thats holding people hostage. Including his own teammates.

I dont find anything underhanded about building a ship. White men do that shyt all the time in building great orgs. We get in the game doing the same, youre somehow offended by it.

Incredible

He had a GM good enough to build a team on his own. Why act like he had anything to do with the standard his GM built for himself?

Please give me an example of another GM or player behaving in the ways I just mentioned. You’re basically saying it’s okay to cost people jobs (including other black men, which Lebron has been responsible for many black men being on the unemployment line) because a white man does it.

Regardless, this is all irrelevant and a deflection, which is typical of Lebron fans.

Your conveniently ignoring the HISTORY of Owners and GM’s underhanded tactics of promising players they are safe only to trade them, firing beloved coaches, forcing players to play while severely hurt, etc. in no way is THAT empowering whatsoever

backtracking like a motherfukker

Should’ve doubled down. There aren’t any Klutch players worth a damn besides Lebron

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I mean... He's not wrong.

He is wrong, even if what he said is true he stupid for saying it

How easy to dumb things down in the complete absense of context and nuance.

You stay being stupid. Nothing about you says youre even equipped to talk about how mediocre white men are always threatened by ones reach for equality, even when their resumes are ordinary outside of working with the one person who gave them their most success.

Just dumb “in a nutshell” posting Ive come to expect from you.

Thanks for expecting so little from me. Appreciate it.

I’m more than equipped, being that I’ve spent my entire adult life working in corporate America for one of the largest corporations in the world. But I’ll let you act like you know what I’m about.

The point is that this man has been closer to Lebron and the organization than anyone on this board, yet his experience is invalid because it goes against Bron. What he said is no different to what others on this board and elsewhere have alluded to for years and somehow it holds no weight

Griffin right now

Please give me an example of another GM or player behaving in the ways I just mentioned..

Another Gm are likely satisfied,feeling no sort of way seeing the winning taking place. THIS GM was too busy in his mediocre white man feelings, and youre carryng the water for him.
