Loved the article. I’m glad you touched on the MeBron point. Don’t get me wrong but that is exactly why I have not been a big LBJ fan. From the beginning in Akron,OH when he would walk around like he was The King. What had he done at that point? Nothing. Then he had the opportunity to go to the Olympics and play basketball with some of the greatest atheletes of all time. He was still all about MeBron. And what happened…we lost. What did he do in the Olympics? Nothing. I truely believe he needs to lower his level of cockiness, and come play big ball, with what can be with a big team (again). I truly hope LBJ changes my mind by coming to the Bulls and makes me become a fan. He is one amazing basketball player.

I don’t think that playing in Jordan’s shadow is a factor at all in his decision to come here. If anything, it’s beneficial since he was such a huge fan. Wherever he goes, he’ll always be in Jordan’s shadow like Kobe is since he’s already in that conversation as one of the best ever (talent-wise, not through his accomplishments). Being in Jordan’s shadow is a great place to be. You never hear about Brian Cardinal playing in Jordan’s shadow.

Bill, I totally agree with you as to why he would go anywhere but here. There are so many factors…well-put together team, no other alpha-dogs, big market, not hitching his wagon to another’s star, ability to stand alone and expand his brand, and a defensive minded coach. It’s not like LBJ needs any offensive assistance.

I’m violently ill after watching all of the ESPN analyst’s dissect this shit show, but most seem to agree that Chicago makes the most sense.

Are we too biased?

great article.. i kinda feel a lil bad for him bc as u said “No matter what path LeBron chooses tonight, people will hate him. If he stays, he’ll be viewed as a cock tease. If he bolts for Miami, he’ll be viewed as a guy who doesn’t have the balls to carry a team. If he goes to New York or the soon to be Brooklyn Nets, he’ll be all about the show and not winning. If he comes to the Bulls? Then he’ll be viewed as a villain in Cleveland and NY, but it will be what it’s always been….the best basketball decision. If he comes to the Bulls he can win multiple titles and still be the alpha dog. It’s so simple that I’m willing to bet anything he doesn’t choose the Bulls.”

I just cant understand why he wouldnt pick chicago tho.. it IS the perfect fit!!!! if he goes to anyewhere besides cavs, miami or chicago ill call him MeBron..

With miami tho its like u said, d-wade runs it.. cavs cant offer anything but hed be loyal like paul pierce…and chicago?? well he may be in jordans shadow but thats an awesome shadow to be in.. and Bulls have the best roster for him to sell his brand still, for him to stand out, and honestly with lebron and boozer joining our crew, id take them over the wade-bosh miami crew in a playoff game!
