will you cheer for Lebron when he eventually signs with the spurs

[NameLess Scrub]

Denying Raymond a ring after all his gotry last season was more than enough to make me cheer LeBron last Finals.

No quite enough to cheer for him, but I do appreciate the gesture, in some way

Ban Chinook. Lebron is a grade A Dbag who is the most athletic player the nba has ever seen, is anti-compe ive and wants things given to him. The problem with Lebum is he thinks he's basketball savvy and has an IQ. Well then, why did you hold your city hostage to sign players like Larry Hughes, and Mo Williams for millions, and have to have your owner go into almost 100 million in debt, JUST TO CONTEND, or why does he always shoot contested, fadeaway threes at the end of the game, rather than taking his smaller, less athletic man to the rim? He had to have his Miami team bail him out to save his "legacy" and technically if Manu/KL/POP didnt choke, and Ray Allen didnt hit the biggest shot there ever was in the nba, Lebum would just be an overhyped DBag whose mom went down on Delonte West.

Chinook is a loser. Lebron should never be cheered. He should have followed the greatest player in NBA History (tim) and stayed with one team his entire career. He's just the face of the joke that is the media hyped new nba - where you dont have to beat the best, or anyone really, to be the best.

I'm not this harsh, but basically he has given people reason to think main concept of this post.

But he's chasing Jordan's ghost. It's ALL about being the best player ever to him. He'd play on 7 teams if he'd accomplish that feat. He got what he came for in Cleveland and his ring count means more to him than "staying home". I'm not saying he's going to the Spurs but I think it's naive to think he's solely committed to the Cavs until his playing days are done.

Well, being considered the GOAT will be impacted by his superteaming, imho.

That aside, even if he wins more les by doing stuff like joining the Spurs, he'll do it past his prime. Therefore he won't be the main star and will lose GOAT points because of that.

le wise, he needs to win 3 more in the next 4 years probably, in order to match Jordan.

Oh, man, have any of you been reading what's going on between LeBron and the Cav's management? It's ratcheting up more every day. Gilbert committed to $300M in new contracts last year. Cleveland is up in the repeat-offender luxury tax. They already gave up a first round pick for Korver. And LeBron is starting to publicly that they won't go out and buy a new player to help him. And today he sent a tweet that questioned whether the team really wants to win a repeat championship, because he isn't getting his way.

I respect the fact that he's a great player. But that is never happening in SA. The Cavs have spent more money than any team over the last three years, and last year they paid $54M in lux tax alone. If that's what it takes for LeBron to ring? Well if it is, there's no chance of him getting one in SA.

I'd welcome his talent, but I wouldn't welcome that BS.

Has anybody ever asked him who does he think he is, accompanied with a backhanded slap?

Ill root for the spurs even when they go back to pre robinson era.

[tbear280]

I think if you are a TRUE SPURS fan,or ask a TRUE SPURS fan, or ask anybody from SAN ANTONIO, we don't want or need Lebron and no they would never cheer for him. San Antonio = no drama type players. Lebron = drama queen 👸🏾

Of course, I'm a Spurs fan, not a player fan. I'd cheer for KG or Jason Terry if they became SA players and I despise them.

Spurs: the Florida of professional basketball



But no alligators

[will_spurs]

I already cheer for Lebron when he's not playing against the Spurs, so that wouldn't really be an issue. It's not happening, though.

Exactly. Those are only a couple of players. Perdue, G. Robinson, V. Maxwell, Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr (even though he was a big help), K. Willis, etc.

[Cry Havoc]

34-35 years Lebron = top 10-15 player in the league
yes, he is good like that

He's 32 and arguably still the best player on the planet in the playoffs.

I'd say he could be top 5 in 2-3 years still.

It's kind of awesome that we were fortunate enough to see Duncan and LeBron, both top 5 players of all-time, playing at the same time in the NBA against each other in the Finals. You could argue that no other Finals has ever featured two top 5 players before. LeBron + Duncan > Magic and Bird IMO.

When the team you bleed for goes out and hires a player or coach you just don't like, it puts you in a tough spot. I wouldn't want LBJ on the Spurs, regardless of his talent, because I just don't care for the guy. But if he were on the team, I also wouldn't let him deny me of still being a hardcore Spurs fan. If I did, he'd have beaten me out of my basketball allegiance, and I just couldn't do that. Guess I'd have to hope for le runs in which he got upstaged by Kawhi and/or others.

Imagine if everybody wasn't too busy trying to get Kobe vs Lebron, Durant vs Lebron in the Finals

While you might be right, we have a large number of young players with unknown ceiling at this moment, and also the current young superstars (kawhi, durant, Davis, etc). He could do, but I really would not bet on it.

lol "arguably"
lol "in the playoffs"

In reality, he IS the best player on the planet and the greatest player in history, 24/7/365, 366 in a leap year. Doesn't matter if it's the preseason, the regular season, or the postseason. I know as a Warriors apologist, you're still salty about the wet he took on your second team in the Finals, but there's no need to downplay LeGOAT.

He'll never play for the Spurs, though. If the Melo trade goes down, the Clippers are the only team he'd ever consider leaving the Cavs for because he could assemble the banana-boat squad.

The are you saying. I just called him the best player on the planet. I pointed out that he might be top 3 even when he's 34. He's just not in the regular season because he doesn't give 100% effort on defense. And he shouldn't be expected to after 18 billion straight trips to the Finals.

Warriors apologist. I was rooting for the Cavs in that series, you silly . I love watching LeBron shut his haters up.

Agree that he will probably never come to the Spurs. I bet he wins a gold medal with Pop in 2020 though.

perdue and i think kerr came over in a trade. and my memory is more than a little fuzzy, but i seem to remember perdue, willis, and to a lesser degree robinson being serviceable contributors.

[james evans]

NO, I wouldn't cheer cuz that means he'll be borderline washed up and expect to be carried to a ring.

[SuperCam]

unfortunately Harlem is spot on in this case Poop will not tolerate even slightly outspokem black american let alone the most outspoken great player since kareem and ali...

Lebron at 42 signing with the Spurs

Would sure be nice to have even twilight Kevin Willis right now.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

any one that wouldn't lacks basic basketball sense. He can't go back to Miami and the only other franchise well run enough to destroy the Dubs on a consistent basis is ours.

The Rockets would be pretty badass with LeBron and Harden.

[TampaDude]

I'd cheer for his ass immediately. I've always liked LeBron.

[cutewizard]

But seriously guys, would he do it?
