I applaud star players dictating ish in the NBA

[Trip]

so because it's not 100% across the board with some athletes, the point that others seeing Bron and them moving up doesn't motivate them, or is Melo the end all of how most of them feel?

I don't get that sense at all, no.

Maybe the older guys ie Camby, Jason terry and such....but they're role players.

 

[Ku$h Parker]

thats true though i dont know if Michael Red gets lebron a ring..they also didnt acquire any desirable assets Lebrons 7 years there to get a viable sidekick via trade

They nixed a possible STAT/Hickson Trade in Brons final year

Keep thinking that. Most athletes are egotistical and won't let one guy get away with getting accolades without wanting some of their own.

The difference between me and you is that I'm not stupid or extreme and think it can't be that some athletes are about the bread and others won't sit idly by watching another one get props without feeling a sort of way and wanting their own. You thinking all young players are on some Melo and Amare thought process....ok..

Kevin Love and his statements comparing his expereince to that of others with greater playoff experience is a clear example of that.

I would be more impressed if the Brothers decides that they were gonna go play for the Charlotte Bobcats and make them a contender at least you have a a Black Owner and a Black President/GM with that team.

To me the players aren't really dictating shyt, They just taking paycuts so they can play for the same team. They only people who are winning are the owners of these teams these players agree to come to.

That whole Dwight Howard deal is to me. I can't cosign that shyt.

Exactly. Seeing how this has gone down....you cant tell me his motivation behind this is going to a team that has a chance to beat Miami. fukk no...

You're giving Jordan's blackness which he's NEVER aligned HIMSELF to way too much props. Jordan doesn't speak about being a black owner himself yet you'd "only be impressed" if the PLAYERS themselves view him through those lenses?

And not win while doing so?

Dwight is a bytch.

Kevin Love is jealous of Rubio. If they went to the finals every year from here on out. He'd still leave when he got an opportunity.

you forgot MJ don't like nikkas

 

[holidayinn21]

when 2nd and 3rd-tier players like carmelo and love start dictating shyt, that's when it starts getting out of control.

 

[FTBS]

I remember when they really wanted to add Ray Allen and Michael Redd but neither of em wanted to go.

Location, location, location

I remember Artest and Wallace passing on the Cleveland after they had won 66 games.

 

[Black Hans]

Teams now have short windows to build a winner. It's good to see players exposing GM's that don't know shyt about basketball and putting a squad together. I hate the heat, but only because I never liked Lebron or Wade.

The best players are forced to go to shytty franchises when they come in and if that team fail to build around them, they deserve to start over. The owners have no player loyalty and only care about revenue generated by their star players. Lin is a prime example.

Since Curt Flood, where haven't athletes held their destiny in own hands when it comes to free agency?

Stop that, bruh. You support bytch nikka tendencies where super teams are worshiped over players overcoming adversity to lead a team to a title like real star athletes do.
