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

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

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

I’m not ignoring it, it literally has nothing to do with David Griffin’s comments. It’s negative behavior no matter who does it, owner, GM, or player.

Instead of people just saying Griffin (and Kyrie, and Kd and PG13 and the other superstars who refuse to play with him) is right, they’d rather just say “but but white people been doing it too!” Lebron creates a toxic environment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, everywhere he goes. It’s that simple imo.

the writer of that article gonna have to explain himself

The Coli = where criticizing Lebron James equates to being a Trump supporter and KKK member.

I knew what this thread would turn into as soon as I read the article.

And the crazy thing is most of these Bron stans are cacs.

They're literally trying to make a joke out of true racism by equating criticism of LeBron to being anti-black. Cacs always trying to undermine true racism.

Griffin right now

Not exactly/ he’s moreso calling out how the media bullshyt that comes with being attached to LeBron similar to what KD said.

He did call out the author on the will to win quote saying he didn’t quote him correctly and he wondered if LeBron had the hunger anymore after accomplishing his biggest goal

that's NOT how the article was framed. The article made it sound like those were his DIRECT thoughts on Lebron, HIMSELF. Not his thoughts on people in the media covering Lebron. This difference put's the entire convo in a different light

He did call out the author on the will to win quote saying he didn’t quote him correctly and he wondered if LeBron had the hunger anymore after accomplishing his biggest goal

Like I said above, the writer is going to have explain himself/clear the air as to why he framed the article to make it look like Griffin was sh1tting on Lebron, directly

Let’s ask Ty Lue, Mike Brown, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Lonzo Ball, Magic Johnson and Paul Silas if David Griffin is only saying this because he’s a “mediocre white man”

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

The point is, him being close to Bron has zero to do with my point of where HIS FEELINGS are rooted from and you will avoid:

A mediocre white man with a mediocre resume reaching the pinnacle of his career and feeling “terrorized” by someone he felt was lesser than him when power.

Unlike your lame ass, I get to the root of why he feels that way. Ive worked long enough with these types to know that it has everything to do with our power feeling like their oppression. You simply are too ill equipped to get it, encompassing everything in that lazy ass “snapshot” dumbed down post

They conveniently ignore most of Lebron’s victims have been black. He literally almost killed Ty Lue

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

Because what he said has nothing to do with none of the shyt you said that’s it no more no less y’all really making this shyt bigger than it really is

Like I said above, the writer is going to have explain himself/clear the ear as to why he framed the article to make it look like Griffin was sh1tting on Lebron, directly

. “The reason is LeBron is getting all the credit and none of the blame. And that’s not fun for people,” Griffin says. “They don’t like being part of that world.”

I mean he’s pretty much referencing it right there by saying that world but yes the author is gonna have to explain himself

Dog. Hes a GM. When he talks about his job it is big to him. Thats where he makes his livelihood. My wife did an expose about her job in several pubs. Dont tell me it isnt serious to them because you have a shyt argument . Youre a water carrier for a mediocre white male. You likely are a white male.

Let us pause and give thanks to the Basketball Gods for this bountiful harvest of fukkery

This season gonna be must-see TV all the way through

It's not clear in that quote WHO is giving Lebron all the credit. W/o clarification, one might/could think the organization (cavs) is/was giving him all the credit and blaming other players (kyrie)

stephen curry a 2 time mvp, one time unanimously,comes with no baggage , smoothness. players wanting to play with him and that leading to 3 rings in 5 years. 1/3 the time it took lebron. you tell me who is the man of this shyt. nikka made kd jump ship after cracking his two months earlier whilst he was still in okc

stan a beta passive aggressive p*ssy brehs

Steph won chip #3 in Year 9; LeBron won chip #3 in Year 13. In what math equation is that ⅓ the time it took LeBron to get three rings?

Also I see you conveniently omitting that two of Steph's three he wasn't the #1, which would beg the question, how many rings would Steph have if he was always The Guy? That's an uncomfortable ponderance though, because we know how many rings Bron has as The Guy...

You're also omitting that part of the attraction to playing with Steph is the culture and competence of the organization, from ownership on down, which has been markedly better than the culture LeBron has had around him in his career. But sure, omit context and freestyle narratives hahahaha...

Name calling at our age over Lebron James

Did you dig to the root of it when Kyrie, KD, Kawhi, PG didn’t want to play with him?
