    How long has James been sporting "King James" on the back of his jersey instead of just his last name?

    If they come around asking for opinions on this self-coronation and I happen to be out that day, please put me down for a "do not like." Thanks.

    they have days where they let the players pick a nickname jersey. Christmas was one. Ray Allen had "Shuttlesworth, for instance." LBJ's is "King James"

    I didn't know that tonight was one of them...

    If the Bulls ever do this, I'm hoping to see Mike James wearing the same jersey. That is, if he gets into the game.

    I really don't like those jerseys. Not that Miami is a classy organization but I think it's extra trashy.

    Does Bosh's jersey say "Chrissie" on the back?

    God, I'd love to have Chrissie on the Bulls.

    Bosh is a 20+ PER guy for his career. I'd've thought you'd give him more love.

    I like Bosh fine. Uber talented. It's a matter between the ears and his age that give me some pause.

    He'd actually complement Noah as good as any player except LeBron.

    He's been #1 option, but didn't seem to like. It. He's a soft rebounder, too.

    Interesting.

    Bosh was the guy I wanted in 2010. He just seemed to be the perfect complement to Rose. He'd been a #1 offensive option, had both an inside and an outside game and was an efficient scorer.

    I still think Bosh made the wrong choice. Even if you swap him and Boozer in 2010-11, Bosh could have been the # 2 player on a championship team rather than a #3. Whether he would have won another title or not, he always would have been Wade rather than Bosh, i.e., the clear #2 rather than a #3.
