Lebron demands talent everywhere

[UK2K]

Drafted by Cleveland. Decides Cleveland doesn't have enough talent, leaves.

Goes to Miami. Wins two championships but then realizes that Miami's roster is old and losing talent each season. Leaves.

Arrives in Cleveland. Decides Cleveland doesnt have enough talent and immediately demands the FO trade for Love.

Does this make him weak? Or competitive? Part of me sees it as him being a giant vag but another part of me can't blame him because he will always and forever be judged on the number of rings he wears.

isnt that exactly what your boy Dwight did?

dude came to cle and straight up admitted that he can't win it all even with three first overall picks and two additional top 5 picks

The collusion circa 2010 is one thing.

But nothing wrong with wanting Love. All great players have tried to influence who their teammates would be.

Negged. You forgot to mention his first 7 years with Cavs when he didn't even once complain about his teammates nor did he demand anything roster related unlike other superstars.

But have any of those guys ever sniffed the playoffs?

Not publically, but that's only because he has a good PR manager.

Who did Durant demand?

Who did Durant demand?

Why are you comparing Durant to Lebron, Durant has 1 year where he's been playing at a level near Lebron, stop comparing these two players.

Lets use PER as our metric, if you disagree with this metric then we'll go to RAPM.

Lebron ( Top 5 seasons)
2008-2009 31.7
2012-2013 31.6
2009-2010 31.1
2011-2012 30.7
2013-2014 29.3

(Noted Lebron has an advantage in the fact that he has played more years)

Durant ( Top 4)

2013-2014 29.8
2012-2013 28.3
2x 2009-2010/2011-2012 26.2

Playoff PER:

27.72 (Average) - LBJ
24.4 (Average) - Durant

Lebron has accumulated more OWS and DWS in a 7 year span than Durant, Lebron has more accolades in the same time span and didn't have the supporting cast that Durant has in the first 7 years in the NBA.

[LBJ 23]

Who did Durant demand?

Are you just playing stupid or what?

At one point Durant had Westbrook (top 5 PG, arguably top3), Harden (best 6th man in the league) and Ibaka (best shotblocker in the league). Compare that to Lebron's roster in his first 7 years and then tell me what more should Durant demand?

It's almost as if good players want to play with other good players

The guy is weak. Stay in one place and build something there...fight thru adversity.

He'll never be like Melo who is sticking out in New York and will fight thru the tough times, and build a winner from ground up. How amazing is Melo, right?
It's so great to see Melo get praise he deserves for not jumping ship at first opportunity.

Lebron? Not so much....
