Haywood rejected LeBron’s recruitment to Cavs after he called himself ‘King James’

[GreatHILL]

“Before he went to the Heat, he was recruiting guys to come to Cleveland. I get a text from a number that I don’t know. It’s LeBron. He says: ‘What’s up, this is King James.’ It was a little weird he called himself King James but I kept going. He told me he was trying to get guys to come to the Cavs. He said he knew that they could not give me what I was going to get in the market. But he wanted to know if I would be willing to take a pay cut to be a part of something special. I wouldn’t have taken a pay cut to play with the ’92 [Chicago] Bulls. Buddy, you’re making $100 million off the court! This is my last hurrah! I hadn’t made enough money in my career to take a pay cut and chase a championship. I’d played so many playoff series against him that I saw him as another player. If you play in the league, you look at guys a little differently. He was younger than I was. I looked at him like he was anybody else.”

I was in McDonald’s eating a happy meal when LeSwept came in and ran with my FOOD! Luckily the security guard that was there was the one and only JASON TERRY aka LeDooDoo’s FATHER, and he tackled LeChoke and got me and my pet alligators food back!

And he took an L there as well, just like he does in the Finals typically :oldlol: and then also took an L hitting on another hot big booty white girl at the USA olympics, Lauren Perdue, who also put his ugly ass on blast for not having game. Guy is legit pathetic.

Let's unpack this and laugh together. From 2011 to 2020 LeBron went to 9 of 10 Finals and won 4 Finals MVPs. LeWin wins again.

Lebron was a 1-trick pony before the "decision", with only 1 Finals run like Iverson, Dwight, and Kidd... Then Wade, AD, and Kyrie elevated him to champion - so this idea that lebron brings guys titles and therefore "makes guys better" is false - teaming up doesn't equal "making guys better" - it's just stacking the deck and talent-based winning.... virtually none of his primary teammates improved statistically while alongside him because his skillset imposes spot-up roles that stall young players, thereby needing ready-made stars to win (team--hopping, talent-based winning)..

Talent-based winning loses to organic ball movement, so lebron has a lottery record vs Mavs, Spurs and Warriors.. ultimately, his kryptonite is his organic chemistry and ball movement.. he can't do organic, so he loses to it..

1-9

[3ball]

1-9

Jordan is bad for needing an 8-point rookie to make the 2nd Round, but it's okay for lebron to miss the 05' playoffs with the East all-star center, and need further additions make it in 06' (the coy and a 22/5/5 all-defender).

Or it's bad for Jordan to go 1-9 with 8 seeds, but it's okay for lebron to go 3-16 with 2 seeds, including the goat choke, a sweep and the record loss

2ND OPTION EXAMPLE:

87' bulls (oakley) < 05' Cavs (all-star zydrunas)... but the 87' bulls randomly made the 8 seed and were forced to face the goat Celtics, while the 05' Cavs avoided the champion Pistons as the 9 seed.... again, lebron only made the playoffs with high seeds and didn't have to carry his worst teams as low seeds like Jordan did

[dawsey6]

You don't hear the "Kobe is selfish" talk now that he's retired (and transitioned).
You don't hear the "MJ was is ballhog" now that he's changed basketball forever.

You only hear these types of things when they are playing. The slander and minutia. Their failures are scrutinized and used as fodder. When they cement their greatness in stone, the failures are forgiven and the minutia forgotten. They're just great. If Bron plays another 5 or so years, we might forget that that is the case. But at some point we'll come to our senses.

This is like the grumbling from haters when Napoleon called himself emperor.

"By crowning himself, James symbolically showed that he would not be controlled by Jordan or submit to any power other than himself. This was very important, both as a show of strength to reassure his allies and to quell any potential uprisings or anarchy by proclaiming himself the highest authority in NBA history."

You either have it like that or you don't and Haywood didn't.
