Once we see how LeBron plays, then we can see how to "rank" these rings. If he outplays Wade on a nightly basis, and makes the Miami Heat his own; there's no way you can try to discredit his rings.
Yes, that's how logical fans see it. Unfortunately most of the internet isn't filled with those types of fans. Just read some of the posts of the more notorious posters on this site as an example.

Yeah he basically took a step back and said to the world, "I'm not so self-confident about winning on my own, so I take the easy way".
You can praise his humility, to say so.

Re: Am i the only one who has GAINED respect for LeBron?
Lebron joined superstars in primes to piggyback to the rings, how can anyone respect that? Its like Jordan joining Kareem and Magic to get easy way to the rings, would anyone respect that? No. Would Jordan still be GOAT? No. Lebron may win more rings now, but I doubt he will be even Top10 player All-time, and he had potential to break in Top5, not anymore.
Yes he turned down 30 mln. in Clev, but he will earn so much more on bigger market with higher endorsements.
This all charade about "decision" was pretty pathetic, regardless how anyone slices it.

Re: Am i the only one who has GAINED respect for LeBron?
I had an argument with idiot dirk fans about this. According to them even with a shit team ur supposed to try win the title every year, the fans deserve it apparently. I see it as the fans are paying to see a good game/ show that's it.. You don't owe them shit. Contracts up, move on..
Then lebron comes out, takes less cash and says be basically wants to build a winning dynasty and he gets hated on??? Really??
I hated the guy with all this fa bullshit, but I actually gained respect for him once his interview started, looked like he really didn't even want to be there..
The days of doing it yourself as the lone superstar are done. Let's be honest, everyone has had help anyway. Look at kobes team ffs!!!
Also how successful are the lone superstars?? Francis mcgrady iverson etc etc, are u supposed to wait till u fail then at 35 join forces???? WTF is wrong ppl seriously??!??!

It's not either black or white.
Teaming up with Rose & Boozer, Amare & Gallo, Gasol & Artest is way different than teaming up with Wade & Bosh.

Re: Am i the only one who has GAINED respect for LeBron?
Lebron made the OBVIOUS choice for winning, Miami has a dynasty now. Cleveland sucks, Lebron wouldn't have a good supporting cast there.
It aint piggybacking if he becomes the primary contributor on the team. Just you watch and see. It'll eventually become Lebron's team, not Wade's, if he outperforms. It's an opportunity for Lebron to write a new legacy.

Which player wins on their own?
In 2007 he went to the Finals and by the time they got there, the best no.2 option for LeBron was Boogie Gibson.
I mean g-ddamn. Not even prime would win a title with friggin' Boogie Gibson as his no.2 option.
LeBron's just stating the obvious -- no one wins anything by themselves.

Re: Am i the only one who has GAINED respect for LeBron?
He put winning in front of everything, most players talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. Despite being the best player in the league for 2 years in a row, he gets taunted constantly for not having any rings (a TEAM accomplishment retards). So he is making the best effort possible to get a ring and now he's bitching out and tarnishing his legacy? lol

Re: Am i the only one who has GAINED respect for LeBron?
LeFag fans need a ****ing reality check. Htf can anybody respect such a move especially from a competitor's perspective? He took the easiest way out to win a championship. Who in their right minds can respect that? You guys are so pathetic it's unbelievable.
People (rightly so) don't count Kobe's first 3-peat cause he piggybacked Shaq but for LeTard to join another top 3 player and another franchise player in their primes is a respectable move. Words can't describe the stupidity involved.
And to the idiots claiming he acted unselfish cause he left 30 mil on the table...
You can't be serious.
Either this forum is clustered with 5 year olds who don't understand words like integrity, pride and marketing or it's clustered with a bunch of retards.
Probably both.
Why bother. Shouldn't waste my time arguing with idiots.
G'day and stay stupid.
