He left bc he wanted to team with Wade/Melo bc that was their plan from the get go. His move was weak, everybody knocked the move. The only ones who were for it were his groupies. Imagine MJ teaming with two other legit all stars to make it easier on himself. Dude would’ve gotten bashed daily by y’all for it.

It was really a “decision “ for him at this point. 24/25 and the best in the world. I’m sure it wasn’t easy.

He left on free agency to a team and colludes woth wade and bosh in his prime all perfectly reasonable because the cavs were really a one man show, but he didn't stay to the team that drafted him so there's always that animosity there while Jordan,bird and magic all stayed on their teams they did have great Hal of fame help but they also stuck woth it thru the hard times. Jordan especially scottie pippin when he came in wasn't that good yet and when he won the finals he had no all stars but good help lebrons decision is fine but he never sticks with any team this is the moment he felt he could do that and he just constantly stacked the deck for himself yet he continued to lose ignoring the kd warriors and 2007,I think of he stayed with cleavand instead of coming back with them when he could leverage more superstar help and then force the team to make bad contracts for respectful he would get more respect maybe he wouldn't have 4 rings but he also would never have made kd feel comfortable joining the warriors and destroying the parity that ironically lead him to lose in the finals so much, he stacked the deck in his favor and still lost and was given excuses when other teams stacked themselves up as well there's always a push pull to these kind of thing.

The beauty of Lebrons legacy is THIS is the WORST thing we’ve ever seen from him. A bold move to shape the industry of player empowerment gone south- in a league that was being run like a modern day plantation. This man has been a class act his entire career. Obama level reputation being under a microscope 24/7. And dude is arguably the greatest player of all time & clearly the best athlete of all time. This ain’t MJ vs Lebron debate man y’all just gotta appreciate this dude.

The Heat were amazing, they're actually the team that got me into Basketball. Especially cause he returned to Cleveland and got them a championship too, everyone should look at this with happiness (unless you're a Cavs, Celtics or OKC fan).

MJ was the first of his kind and already had a shoe line going for him. People put money into him and his his team for him to flourish at the end of the day. James was stuck in his hometown set to be a hero but he never had the support he needed. MJ wouldn’t have stayed on any team if he was pulling losses instead of dubs. The two can’t be compared because both brought a different set of skills to the table. Both dudes are so good and talented that the discussion is still being had haters from both sides are still being mad. At the end of the day it’s a topic that espn is going to continue profiting on which is also the only reason the discussion still exist. Lmao. Suckers

A superteam is with three stars that can lead their team like Kyrie and Bosh and Wade and Love These players lead their team in the playoffs. Lebron played with these star players. MJ played with Pippen and his the only teammate of MJ that can carry a team in the playoffs if Rodman was asked to carry a team in the playoffs that will never happen.

That’s what LBJ fans don’t get, they keep acting like Rodman/Kerr/Kukoc etc were go to legit guys who can carry a team when they never did that. LBJ actually had these type of players as second/third options but they refuse to acknowledge that. That’s why they always downplay LBJ’s all star teammates and overrate MJ’s teammates who were role players to make it seem like MJ had a “superteam”. Even with Pippen, yes he was an all star but the dude couldn’t carry a team. He even admitted that in 94 that the team won by committee not just a one man show like MJ did a lot of the times.
