1. Lebron James

2 for 5 in the NBA finals for a guy who was to challenge Jordan as GOAT. Labelled as the chosen 1, but needs help and can't deal with pressure.

2. Darko Milicic

Bust


3. Carmello Anthony

Off to his third team. No rings


4. Chris Bosh

Is open to taking a paycut to be a third option.


5. Dwayne Wade

Declined the fastest in the top 5. Bad knees. Only won championships when superstars carried him.

2003 class in retrospect has been pretty overrated. No alphas. They all want to play together :biggums:




I miss the days when NBA players were alpha

I miss the day when it was fun to watch regular season games because of the matchups. We get that shit now only on christmas or some other odd game that's nationally televised. It used to be on a nightly basis.

I'm starting to get why 80's people shit on the 90's, the 90's shit on the 00's, now the 00's are shitting on this decade. The game is so watered down. Starting to believe the hype about the 80's :facepalm

'96 Draft class

A.I = Ball Hog no rings, declined quickly and messy retirement, now broke and living off foodstamps

Ray Allen = No rings as best player, jouryman to rings

Kobe= GOAT sidekick, riding all star big men to titles, missed most shots in league history, notorious chucker and rapist

Steve Nash = No rings, playing for money now days, 2 MVP's but against weak competition (Kobe era)

Stephon Marbury = *see A.I

03 draft class is without a doubt filled with beta fakkits.

All the top players in that draft might end up on the same team. :roll:

Fun fact: Jerry West did not consider Wilt to be an elite competitor. By competitor I mean someone who would die to win. The people he considered ultimate competitors who were cut from the same cloth were: Kobe, MJ, Himself, Bird, Magic, and Russell.

Yeah, you need to be competitive just to join the NBA and do well. But he's talking about the ultimate competitors amongst competitors.

For the sake of quieting the haters, Darko has to join the heat. That way no one can say that team is stacked with a bust like him :roll:
