Link Post

As a life long Bulls fan and basketball fan in general I love to hear other people's opinion of the game and different theory's they have about players and teams. Sam Smith has one of the best blog posts I have seen in a long time.  By visiting http://blogs.bulls.com/ you will notice that everything is organized nicely in categories like: the draft, free agency, NBA playoffs, Awards, trade talk, and other things around the league. The main post I am going to talk about compares LeBron James and MJ. Over the years the 2 have been compared to almost every aspect of their game but today was a big day and it might hurt LeBron in ever being compared to great players like Kobe, MJ, and Larry Bird ever again. They all made legacies with their teams and stayed there for most of their careers discounting Jordans comeback with the Wiz. At this point it won't mater how many titles that LeBron gets on the Heat anymore because everyone will always remember that he couldn't do it on his own team, he needed to go somewhere else to win. If LeBron doesn't win at least 3-5 championships it will be a complete failure. LeBron is suppose to be "The King" and now he is going to play second fiddle under Wade. It sure will be interesting to see if all 3 of these superstars work well together and are able to share the ball. By leaving the Cavs LeBron also is giving up the chance to break multiple records in the NBA. If he would have stayed he might broken all of Kobe and MJ's records but now instead hes only going to average about 20 or so points a game. Another factor is LeBron is going to be hated by alot of people and he may never be able to go back to his hometown of Akron again without hearing booos and harsh words from people.
