And perhaps my boyfriend Kobe was RIGHT all along - and that HE should have been the alpha-dog in 2000-2002 - it seems awfully strange that Shaq has left 4 teams - ALL OF THEM ON BAD TERMS! - and hasn't won a single title in his entire college and pro career without KOBE BRYANT or DWAYNE FUCKING WADE!
Shaq has won titles with Wade and Bryant, yes, because you are overlooking one very important fact about his game. Shaq plays center, a position that you know in the modern aspect of the NBA is more of a complementary position. the days of Kareem Abdul-Jabaar are over.
you can't fault Shaq for winning a title only with Wade and Bryant. on the other hand, you could have faulted Kobe all througout his career
until he won a title without Shaq. do you see my logic here?
Kobe how my ass taste??
At what point do we acknowledge that just MAYBE, this Lebron dude doesn't have the complete package necessary to win titles as his team's best player - certainly, when his team's second best player is a donut-eating non-hard-working megalomaniac, who just seems to battle injury, foul, and foul shot problems throughout his entire life?
a couple things here. LBJ obviously has a complete game. the NBA PER rankings have listed him as the number one player for the last couple years (and that takes in account many aspects of the game that I can't even care to explain). Dwayne Wade is always number two. Kobe Bryant, while being a clutch player who can make last second shots, just doesn't have the overall value that comes with the two aforementioned players. Bryant only plays pedestrian defense, and assists, rebounds, and blocked shots are almost laughable.
sure, he has won lots of titles. and I respect him for that. but it is more because of his well-run franchise and his excellent supporting cast than anything else.
put Bryant in Miami and he would be another Dwayne Wade, sucked in a black hole that is going nowhere.
they have already put LeBron James in "another Miami" type team and what did he do? reach the Finals, and built a solid NBA team in a franchise that has been a joke since the Mark Price days.
Melo > LBJ has to be some sort of joke. Melo can ball, but he just isn't the whole package. you will know I am right and you are wrong when LBJ wins the MVP again this year.
my last point is that Shaq is the second best player on the Cavs. not so fast my friend. this subjective award of yours should go to an already superb looking Antwan Jameson, Mo Williams, or my fan-favorite Anderson Varejao.
