It kind of surprises me people still cling to this..
Answer this seriously.. why is Lebron punished for choosing to play with top players? The other all-time greats played alongside
other great players.. but their teams were able build through the draft or free agency/trades. You can say it was the "cheap" way to do it or he was "scared", but that's an unfair judgment. I get that people aren't happy that players have free will and can decide to play with better players (which I'm sure
never happened before Lebron)... but it's ridiculous that some people will forever give him an asterisk because he simply did what Cleveland couldn't and he got better teammates. I'll repeat it again.. OTHER GREAT PLAYERS HAD GREAT TEAMMATES. Lebron wasn't lucky enough for his team to draft a great 2nd or 3rd option and their transactions were laughable in comparison to the teammates of other all-time great players.
I won't argue if you dislike his attitude, what he's said, his reactions to foul calls, his flopping, hell you can even mock his hairline and I do not care... but I can't agree with the absurd dismissal of Lebron's current or future legacy because he chose to play with Wade and Bosh.
