Do you just not know things or do you lie to yourself or what? Its fucking weird.

Boston didn't start super teams. Owners have tried super teams for a long time...hell back to LA nabbing Wilt. Just off the top Barkley to Houston, Payton/Malone to LA, etc. It just rarely works.

What Ainge did was in no way new or ground breaking. He made some good moves and won a chip. What's rare about Ainge is it worked, and it is a credit to Doc and KG for playing his role imo.

Lebron didn't invent players taking their careers into their own hands, either. Free agency has been a big deal since at least Shaq and Alonzo. Kobe never left LA, but he certainly used his power to take control of his career.

Do you think Lebron invented free agency?

What Lebron did make popular is using free agency and friendships to squad up and build super teams to make it easier to win.

Now, the league has come a very long way in regards to player power and that is a great thing to be celebrated.

Lebron helped make it more popular/acceptable. And he never acted the way Harden just did...so again, props to Bron.


But from a b-ball perspective, its pretty fucking corny though.


We can disagree on that last point, but the rest is just facts.

Why do you think you need to lie/exaggerate/make shit up for some weird Lebron agenda?

He doesn't need you to lie for him.

Or do you just not know this shit? You seriously post like you just started watching b-ball in like 08 and never bothered to learn at all about what happened before then or think critically beyond "I heart Bron I heart Bron I heart Bron"
