This isnt directed at you...you just asked a question
The internet and cyborgs are hard to please. What is someone like Lebron supposed to do though?
If he is better than Jordan but doesnt win the rings...they will say its all about the rings.
Or pull some intangibles argument..."He wasnt a killer like Michael". I guess there are two definitions of Alpha...someone like Lebron who is about consolidating talent and winning...or guys like Dame who refuse to leave their team to go team up with other stars. I thought it was about winning and Lebron is trying to win the game on and off the court. Forget that he is a sensational basketball freak on both ends of the floor and has a top shelf IQ for the game.
Its like these arm chair GM's that talk trash about Jerry Jones resigning Dak Prescott. They act like trading Dak and going with an unproven college quarter back is the smart thing to do(Money Ball). These guys....if they actually had a GM job where they would get fired if they messed up a situation like that...would not trade Dak. If I had a Million Dollar a year GM job...I am playing it safe to keep my job and provide for my family instead of getting fired and going back to making 100 thousand a year.
Its never about how good the player is...its about Rings! If that doesnt win the argument...its about Intangibles! Just keep moving the goal post because EVERY GM would pick Eli Manning over Tony Romo because of Rings if their job really depended on it.
Who cares if Lebron plays with other stars if there is always going to be a legion/group that says good players arent good unless they win rings.
