LeBron: We have the same struggles as the 76ers

[Kidbasketball20]

"We put a lot of pieces together that wasn't here last year," James said. "I don't want to say 'rebuilding.' I think [when] people think of rebuilding, they think of starting from the ground up. But we are a team that wasn't together last year so [we have] the same struggles as the [Philadelphia] 76ers or as the Miami Heat right now and us, we have some of the same qualities as far as putting new guys together.

"It's my biggest test," James said Friday morning in advance of the Cavs' game against the Washington Wizards (ESPN, 8 p.m.). "My patience isn't [endless]. I have a low tolerance for things of this nature. So it's something I'm working on as well, which I knew from the beginning that that was going to be my biggest test to see how much patience I got with the process.

[Dragic4Life]

Christ is everything Lebron says thread-worthy?

Give the guy a break ffs.:facepalm

[MastaKilla]

Lebrons has an all star team around him and its his "biggest test"

This guy :roll: :roll:

[Mr. Jabbar]

"My patience isn't [endless]."


i've always wondered how this guy has any fan beyond his family circle

[Jlamb47]

Lebron always seeking attention. half the shit he says is unbelievable.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I'm a huge LeBron fan, but a lot of the shit he's been saying lately... man wtf

edit: He clearly was talking about the rebuilding aspect of the team... he said "same spot as the Sixers AND the Miami Heat right now" Why did you leave out that Heat part?

This wasn't that bad, but he has said some things lately that don't need to be said to the media

[pegasus]

He's laying ("lying" sounds more appropriate here) the groundwork for his offseason move to another, even more stacked, surer team. What a shameless, ball-less little bitch.:facepalm

[riseagainst]

wow....
:facepalm

[HOoopCityJones]

This guy needs to shut his ****ing mouth ASAP.

Based on the responses so far, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who read the actual quote, and not just the thread title which is agenda driven

Dude ....Even if he said the Heat alone...Are you ****ing kidding me? "We're in the same position as the Team I just walked out on" :facepalm

"Testing my patience" :biggums:

So why not stay and gut it out with your squad?

He's talking straight bullshit.

[JT123]

Lebron is right. He teamed up with 2 players who are career losers after all, and showing them how to win is going to take some time. Anyone expecting the Cavs to be title contenders right off the bat doesn't know basketball tbh.

For you to even defend him he must have bought you 50 Big Macs for you at McDonald's huh? Make sure you dont burn anymore patties, and when you're done shine my shoes

[JT123]

While Lebron is right, he does need to stop talking about his patience being tested. He could have gone to any team he wanted, but he decided to join this young Cavs team that has developed a losing culture during his 4 year absence. If he didn't want his patience being tested he should have gone to the Clippers or Bulls. :confusedshrug:

[Mr. Jabbar]

we gonna act like his patience being tested was a part of his plan before coming? :roll: :roll:

Great, so now LeBron thinks facing the 76ers is facing "adversity" too.

[UtahJazzFan88]

To be fair, if LeBron even opens his mouth, the media is on his ass. Kyrie and K-Love do have that losing mentality for the longest time.

[#number6ix#]

Bron needs to stfu and just play ball

[MastaKilla]

To be fair, if LeBron even opens his mouth, the media is on his ass. Kyrie and K-Love do have that losing mentality for the longest time.

"That losing mentality for the longest time"

Kyrie is what.. 22? And just won FIBA MVP?

Funny how Wade never came out said "we gotta learn how not to quit" after Lebron joined the team and they were 8-9.

[lilteapot]

he didnt even say anything wrong. bunch of children on this forum

Ask ESPN. It's the top NBA headline right now.

It means alot when some idiot like you is trying to claim a 22 year old coming off a fiba MVP has had a losing mentality "for the longest time."

bran stans getting mad their boyfriend is getting exposed as an attention whore

[HOoopCityJones]

Look, I'm not one to jump down a players throat for everything he says but this is just a stupid thing to say, and it's like the fourth bullshit thing he's said this month. Just shut up and try to get better.

He makes it all sound like damage control post Finals loss, and the season has barley even started yet.

Actually, this makes you sound exactly like that type of person.

He has a winners mentality. His team is 5-5. They aren't playing winning basketball. His biggest test is bearing through the process until they start to win. That's all he said but you're making it a bigger deal than it has to be. Grow up man.

[oh the horror]

he didnt even say anything wrong. bunch of children on this forum



Bro you're like 16. You've just recently discovered the taint between your balls and your a-hole exists. Stop.

[k0kakw0rld]

He is litterally being honest about the situation. What's your problem? Miami lost their best player, so of course they are adjusting. Cavs have a new system and new core. So most players are adjusting. Yup I call that two teams struggling to find their identity. They are in the same situation whether you like it or not. The man went to 4 straight finals, even tho he made the decision to go back to Cleveland, he has the right to express his feelings. Yea he said its gonna be a long process but we all know the man wants to win now. Appreciate his competitiveness. LeBron litterally cannot catch a break.

[lilteapot]

His haters litterally are giving the man exposure without them even noticing it. Now what are you gaining from this? Okay today AnaheimLakers24 you are right LeBron is an attention whore. Congrats bro what an achievement. :applause:

[STATUTORY]

wait there is a corny, no heart, cowardly, no clutch, efficient but not dominant, backstabbing, no loyalty, balding, can't perform without HGH and viagra, atheltically declining, no jumpshot having, no iso move possessing "superstar" that turns teammates into spot ups hooters on the 76ers too?

:confusedshrug:

[Kidbasketball20]

And you felt oh so compelled to report that to us?

You're acting like this is the 9th storyline on an NBA website

Get over the fact that LeBron makes stupid comments

He's talking straight bullshit.
He's saying they're in rebuilding mode, which is absolutely true. This is a brand new team like the heat. I think you're completely missing the context. He's not saying he's on the worst team in the league, he's saying that certain teams have a lot of shit to figure out with their new lineups, which is absolutely true.

What makes you say he's not gutting it out? Just because he's not happy with where they are after 10 games doesn't mean he's leaving :facepalm

[J Shuttlesworth]

I put the actual quote in my post what are you talking about? :facepalm
The title is completely misleading. There are a lot of parts in this quote that shouldn't simplified to "we have the same struggles as the 76ers" There's obviously a lot more to the quote than that. See this:

But we are a team that wasn't together last year so [we have] the same struggles as the [Philadelphia] 76ers or as the Miami Heat right now and us

[Twiens]

Sounds like a guy preparing for a new team next year.

You grow the **** up. Attacking everyone in sight because this chump is trying to down play the talent on his Team. He has the most stacked roster in the league. Like I said acknowledge you need to get better and shut up.

You're so far up his ass you don't even understand the context this self stoker speaks.

Do any Cavs fans believe they are a rebuilding Team right now? :wtf:

Where did he even remotely downplay the talent on the team? Delusional ass *****.

heat had massive talent their first year and still struggled. this isnt different.

He's comparing a stacked Cavs team to the friggin undefeated 76ers. Please.

It's completely transparent what LeBron is trying to pull.

Don't the Cavs have the lowest scoring bench in the league? How are they stacked? :biggums:

Yeah I guess Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are just role players?


SMH. You think anyone would give ANY players this many excuses not named LeBron?

[KingPush]

People who hate on this quote are just ****ing losers with nothing better to do lol


Who gives a **** what Lebron says in literally the first month of the season. Do you really care this much where you're actually visibly angry on a bball forum? :lol

Both of you are wrong too. He didn't say they were rebuilding, but he did say it's almost a completely new team which makes it difficult to mesh right off the bat.

Having Love and Kyrie makes the Cavs top heavy, not stacked. Cleveland's big 3 is top 5 in the NBA in mpg because they have no depth.

[Kidbasketball20]

Well then LeBron ****ed up adding Kevin Love to the team instead of keeping Wiggins and building a team with more depth.


So many excuses when LeBron had all the control. :no: :no:

[coin24]

That's what happens when you let LeBald pick the roster:lol
The guy is an uneducated little beta..

Now it's the teams fault bran looks like shit out there. Rebuilding? Lol

lol, ISH. Let's start making thread about everything a player says these days. These guys give interviews after every training, pre games and post games.
Ya'll could make a lot of threads and collectively get angry about some sentence.

I don't think Melo or Wade has ever compared their team to the 76ers. :confusedshrug:

[kennethgriffin]

Can we trade lin, ellington, boozer and sacre for kyrie, love, waiters and thompson

Since theyre all scrubs

[buddha]

3 gold medal winners led by a 2 time champ, 4 time MVP and this guy is comparing his team to the 76ers.. a team full of d-leaguers led by a fukking basketball playing llama.

[russwest0]

"We put a lot of pieces together that wasn't here last year"

Yeah, like your team jumping ass....

LeBron is a clown for throwing these guys under the bus when he wasn't even here last year.

[DonDadda59]

Sounds like a guy preparing for a new team next year.

Now why would he go to another team? It's not like he went back to Cleveland because he thought his new hand-picked super team would allow him to waltz to another 4 straight finals in the East just like his last hand-picked super team did when he abandoned Cleveland.

He went back because he missed home, because he loves the city and its people. This time, it's about more than basketball. Let's do it for Cleveland, dawg. Hard work on 3, together on 6 :applause:

[Wally450]

Christ is everything Lebron says thread-worthy?

Give the guy a break ffs.:facepalm


The second he says something negative about Bosh or Wade you would make a thread about it saying can't believe this guy carried scrubs, so glad he left that scum hole. So shut the f*ck up.
