He's a mental midget loser f.uckhead. He'll never win a title. Basically what he said tonight is he wasn't a man and he's Wade's b.itch.

Good for him.

With LeBron choosing to go to Miami, I feel he basically is keeping himself from being an absolute superstar. Miami will never NEVER be 'his' team, it is going to be Dwayne and LeBron's team.

When people talk about Chicago and their dynasties, the first person mentioned is Jordan 99 out of 100 times and the 1 oddity is some clown saying Air Canada (Bill Wennington) was his favorite player.

I agree with whoever is saying that he is basically resigning himself to the fact that he needs another star around him to win a title.

Jordan did have Pippen, but Pippen was not a top 5 player, he was top 15-20 (if I recall that far back)

He is very comparable, and nobody can take your multiple nightly comedy spot on DT. That has been proven time and time again.

Anyone comparing Lebron to Grant Hill should not be allowed to post in the sports area. Then lowering yourself to take shots at me and my past is just lame.

Please tell me why there can't be a logical comparison?

Before you ramble...

I'll change the subject...

What team will get more action with Lebron's mom this coming year?

A. The Cav's
B. The Heat
C. Any team with former Cav's on it.

Off topic, but are you a Heat fan? Just a Lebron fan? A Wade fan? I thought you liked the Celtics?

Uh Scavs....What other player won a title by himself?

And I would like to know who were the 15 guys better than Pippen since he was elected to the top 50 NBA players of all time team?

He said exactly what I would be thinking if I were a Cavs fan. Props to him. Hopefully Lebron in south beach will be a disaster.

Pre-injury Grant Hill was probably going to be a hall of fame player

But there wasn't one day that he was in the same league as James.

James may be a narrisistic, spoiled kid. He may have a hugely inflated vision of himself. He may not have the killer instict that we all want.

But the idea that he isnt that good or that Miami wont win a title because of him is silly.

More likely Cleveland will return to being a disaster. Gilbert talks a big game but that aint getting anybody to come to Cleveland. The reason that they got him on the first place was they were the worst team in the league.

There is a better chance of you becoming first call rider for Calabrese than Cleveland winning a playoff game in the near future.

I'm glad you responded to Ryan, he is making one of the worse comparisons EVER. How many finals apperances does GH have? How many MVPS? Did I miss Lebrons possible career ending injury? GH was destined to be great and the injuries are a total shame, but Lebron is on another planet, his career ppg is right around 28, I'm guessing Grant is around 16?

I wasnt aware that all these players were playing when Pippen was?

Drexler?
Worthy?
Barkley?
Cousey?

LOL

Let me say it again, Pre injury Grant Hill was a very good player but not in the same league as James. Post injury Hill is a shell of what he was. Hill would have been considered a poor mans James.

I missed Scavs post. Missed the at the time part.

I'd still take the four you laughed at over Pippen, who was lucky he played with Jordan.

LOL
