    He didn’t demand a trade to Miami. He signed with them as a free agent. And what’s wrong with him thinking he’s the best player on the planet? He has never asked for a trade or threatened too. And The Decision was done for charity. I’ve never understood what was wrong about that. LeBron, unlike Dame, honors contracts.

    LeBron’s been a standup guy his whole career. He doesn’t force teams to trade HOFers for trash. That’s Dame who does that.

    Damn King -- I never insulted LeBron can you read cause that skill is kind of needed when coming to a forum ? -- even you have to know there is a perception again RIGHT or WRONG that star players have become the GM at times and I know for a fact LeBron has been accused of that in Cleveland if i recall some thought he got a coach fired but who knows if true or false.

    Has Lebron won? Seems like not only is Lebron a better basketball player than Dame will ever be, he also is a better GM!

    Those are just two examples. I'm not about piling on the guy while his kid is going through some medical problems.
    But I'll take Dame over Lebron every time.

    Every. Single. Time.

    And Lebron will beat Dame 100% of the time in a game of 1 on 1.

    LeBron's worst stuff, doesn't even come CLOSE to what Aaron Goodwin did. LeBron never intentionally burned down his own team while leaving it.

    Don't care.
    I don't give people a pass just for being bigger and stronger. Lebron is a freak. That's fine. It's worked out well for him.

    If I'm building a team I'll take Dame.

    It's alright. Some people get it. Some people don't.

    I am really getting tired of people not reading first it was King now Sly i guess our educational system really is going down the drain since some cannot even read it's kind of sad. This was never about who was better but again if you read the posts you would know that but again that would require the skill of reading and it's becoming obvious to me that some on this forum really lack this skill.

    I agree, what's really sad is when threads get confusing because people can't read the word "reply" on the reply button, and then click said "reply" button in order to "reply" to the appropriate commenter. It's of course, super helpful to communication to use the "reply" button, and therefore respond to a specific person, so that they in turn can "reply" due to receiving a notification.

    Now, if one wants to say just make a statement, perhaps a slightly rude one, and get the "final word" because the other person doesn't see a notification, then of course you wouldn't want to hit reply. I doubt anyone would insult the reading skills of others and not use the reply function though, that would be extremely embarrassing.

    No! I can be stupid pretty fast without coffee. Have to disagree with you here. I at least read what I'm writing when I have had 1-2 cups of coffee. Now if I have that third cup? Totally agree with you.
