Michael Jordan. He just didn't abuse his power like LeBron

how is Lebron abusing his power? business is different than when Jordan played. FA, salaries, guidelines are different. you do realize the most powerful people are the owners which are mostly white MULTI - billionaires? as a side note, there are a lot of FO personnel that are white that never played organized ball. If Lebron was white, you wouldnt be saying this. but when is the last time a white player ever been the best player in the league? much less for a decade or more?

Easily. Dude has a sports agency working for him. While I think it's a clear conflict of interest and should be 100% illegal, it is not and has used that power along with his power has the star of the league to make massive, league shifting moves. Most powerful player of any sport in the history of sports.

What happened to the net worth of those teams after getting LeBron? Answer that question so you can find the real cost of making business with LeBron. You dudes hate Bron so much.
He was helping Cleveland’s economy skyrocket and is reponsible for a lot of dudes expanding their pockets. Even with the drama he’s worth every penny. People act like it’s a crime that these teams are taking advantage of the window of an elite players prime by making moves. Even some Laker fans.. :dead:

So your saying those examples I've listed could of went MJs way if he chose to flex his power........yeahhh sureeee
So you dont think the most famous, successful, and influential athlete of the 20th century couldn't nix a Oakley/Cartwright trade if he really pushed for it? Right lol. He just built different than LeBron that's all.

why should it be illegal?

how many sports agents/management got into the business through someone who was already in the business who was a friend/associate/relative? now out of those that did that...how many times had they worked closely with those associates to make deals? business is about relationships. you can find countless examples in the league of what could be deemed "conflict". its all conflict. Rich Paul is no dummy. He is qualified. this is only an issue because of Lebron. if the Pels bring in another hire outside of Grif....then this deal probably doesnt happen. Grif knows this. Bron and Rich are major factors in him getting the job. funny how everyone was saying N.O. wasnt dealing with LAL even AFTER Grif was hired. :snoop:
