which was worse debacle of NBA SuperStar movement?
It was Kobe's fault.
dwightmare
Dwightmare. Decision was one show(a bad decision). Melodrama ended with Nuggets getting a good haul in return and have been succesful post Melo. Dwight screwed himself and the Orginization.
Decision hands down
melodrama
it went on during the season and affected the play of nuggets nets and knicks
the decision and dwightmare went on during off season
The Decision by far. Lebron went from one of the most loved athletes to the most hated in one fell swoop. Cleveland collectively burned his jerseys in effigy.
Melo is not good enough or important enough to have any affect on the league so it's really just between Dwightmare and the Decision.
Dwightmare is worse considering how he isn't fulfilling his contract, is only willing to go to one team, and how long this drama/nightmare has been going on. This has been going for about a year now, from the off-season to the season back to the off-season again.
LeBron was a free agent and could do whatever he wanted. He shouldn't be in the conversation.

Im pretty sure the Dwight stuff was going on during the season also.

How is Dwight not fulfilling his contract?
I doubt LeBron would have signed an extension with the Kings if the Cavs had decided to get the best possible package for him.

He is not trying to consider how he is asking for a trade request. LeBron fulfilled his contract. It's not Lebron's fault that his team's (Cavs) FO was not smart enough to make sure that if he wasn't willing to stay and re-sign with them, they would move him to get something in return opposed to getting nothing.
You can blame the Cavs FO for this disaster, not LeBron.

Get out, he was a free agent and had a TV show that raised $1m or something. Go tug a monkey doodle.
Howard/Melo crap is worse. Lebron was already being hated on for garbage. Lebron made fulfilling a contract and leaving as a FA bad, which all of a sudden made demanding a trade good, because it gave your team options. Total garbage.
Decision and it's primetime special can not be topped!
Lebron didn't have to inform them of anything.
What would the heat have given them in a sign and trade?
OH WAIT! They did do a sign and trade.
Did anyone consider that he may have been still considering if he wanted to stay?
Haters gon hate though.
The shit with Dwight is the worst by a mile. Lebron had a TV show I saw 10 minutes of and heard his decision.
Dwight is in 2 years of trade demands, coach firing requests(he admitted he did it last year but not in 2012), will he wont he trade deadlines, signing the no opt out thing then demanding a trade anyway...dude talking suing the magic over it? Stories coming out on him fighting his teammates? hedo and others coming out saying they were on Stans side and Stan airing Dwight out about getting him fired?
Its been crazy...and annoying as hell. Bron was like a month of of questions and rumors after a year of "If they dont win it...will he stay?" talk.
But it was nothing like this. Melo wasnt this bad either.
Dwightmare! That's a legit nickname right there :applause:
The decision hands down. Ask a non-basketball fan about Dwight's melodrama and 95% would have no idea what's going on....Lebron James is synonymous to "the decision".. plain and simple. People easily choose to forget the real drama back in 10' ---all in light of current events. Dwight's drama is on par if not above Melo's.

I think this just goes to show you how much better LeBron is than those two since LeBron is actually known by everybody from a person who watches like 10 NBA games a year to an avid NBA fan.
The only player who has received more hate or as much hate as LeBron James receives in NBA history is probably Kobe Bryant. Both of whom are all-time NBA greats and were the best players or arguably the best player for a good amount of seasons.

Lebron is the better player and because he's so, the league as well as other parties have marketed and still market him to death. Watching ESPN is like watching a Lebron commercial all day long...
1. The Decision. The backlash of this was horrible.
2. Dwightmare. Prolonged too long, made Dwight look like douche.
3. Melo, not as bad as either, Denver got some good pieces and are still a playoff team.
The Decision. Then Dwight stuff. Then melo stuff.
Lebron went from most loved, could do no wrong, to completely hated. In ways it did help expand his name out more. He was already popular, but this sorta made him blow up. He was the laughing stock of jokes and still is in some ways. Dumb Dumb Dumb move. Then his stupid ass PR team tried to clean it up and give the money to boys and girls club, ONLY b/c of the backlash, they were keeping that shit for themselves. But ESPN has helped tried to rebrand his image now that he's won, so this whole last season has been nothing but a lebron jerk fest, and pauk is enjoying himself.
Dwight would be 2nd. Reason he or Lebron isn't 1st is b/c they aren't superstars like Lebron. to me, there's only 2 real superstars in the league, Kobe and Lebron. both are household names, both are known worldwide, with kobe being known a lil more internationally. Dwight and Melo are just like there.

I thought pretty much everyone hated lefraud back then too because of his personality and lack of heart. he went out in absolutely humiliating fashion vs the Celtics.
it's only recently since the nike/jew led pr marketing scheme that people have begun to like lefraud.
The Decision, easily. We'll never see a single moment like that again.
When Dwight leaves, Orlando will be glad to be rid of him. When Lebron left, Cleveland still wanted him to stay...afterwards, an entire state burned him in effigy and put f*cking voodoo curses on him and other ridiculous crap.
Hard to compare a moment verus holding a team hostage for 2 years... Smh
Also have to remember as much as Lebron's "image" was tarnished post decision, look at Dwight's image now. Behind the scenes it seems like people knew about Lebron's entourage, demands, larger than life lifestyle... Dwight was the exact opposite for years. Wholesome, Christian, didn't he say he was a virgin or some sh*t? Heard he wanted a cross on the NBA logo when he was drafted on OTL today. Now look @ him. Superman is now folding his arms into the top 5 hated.
Dwightmare easily trumps LeBron's decision. At least LeBron wasn't crying like a lil baby asking out, he played out his contract, got Cleveland a couple years of glory(an NBA Finals and 2 ECFs, 2 straight years with the best record in the league) and then proceeded to shit on their faces.
Dwight has been holding the franchise on hostage, making the franchise making moves just to appease him while getting no insurance for D12 staying. He couldn't even make his mind up, saying he was staying once and then said he was leaving couple days later. In the end I can't believe he signed the opt out waiver anyways, while everyone knew he was gone sooner or later. And then he demanded to be traded to the Nets only, and made rumors about "The Magic Blackmailing him".
Melo's wasn't that bad, he wanted New York, and he got it. He sticked with his decision and went through with it. Jokes on him how Denver was somehow a better team after the trade. He'd probably feel stupid now after this.
[B]Indecision[/B] > the Decision (In terms of torturing a franchise)
The 3 of them are very inmature, but Dwight took it to another level.

:biggums:
The Decision, easily. Completely changed the game. MVP and best player in the world abandoning his 60+ win team to tag with the 2nd best player in the world? And he did it on prime time national television? Free agency with superstars will never be the same again, and we'll forever be talking about Lebron, D-Wade, Bosh and the Heat tagging up even twenty years after they're both long retired and into the Hall of Fame.
Not to mention it literally damaged an entire city's economy and completely embarrassed the entire population on a national scale.
It's hard to compare them. LeBron did his as a FA. Not to downplay it but his didn't effect team chemistry or anything. Carmelo pretty much ruined Denver's chemistry. Dwight's is the worst in my mind. He's carrying on far more than Melo and dragging things out. Carmelo atleast entertained the idea or other teams and pretty much helped Denver force NY to give the farm.
Dwight
Carmelo
LeBron
Technically for me. However I think you can make a case for LeBron over both Carmelo and Dwight because of the fact he really started superstar team up. After him the domino's kinda fell. Plus the decision was just so gross. The season was done, played out his contract etc. make it last for me. I wouldn't argue if anyone had it number 1.
The Decision. Like it or not it changed the game. Superstars are now teaming up and parity is becoming even worse.
Dwightmare is getting on my nerves.
Dwightmare has been the worst by far.
Why are people blaming LeBron for the creation of big 3s and the contraction of the league?
It was the Boston's Big Three that truly started it all because LeBron, Wade, and Bosh only got together to take out that big three because none of them specifically Lebron could ever get past them in the post-season.
The Decision was bad. Really bad. It was narcissistic beyond all means, and he made a questionable move look very bad. I think the stupid celebration party was a bit worse than The Decision, but both were bad. However, it was all done in a matter of days and it did not affect LeBron's play majorly (except the Boston series near the end). However, LeBron apologized, it's done, and I think he's grown up at this point. Mike Brown was fired, but that wasn't all his doing.
I don't remember MeloDrama all that much. He may have been a bitch, but he didn't leave Denver in shambles and they are still a playoff team like before. He didn't get anyone fired. It may have dragged on too long though.
Dwightmare just makes me mad. He's single-handedly gotten the coach fired, gotten rid of Smith, and made Orlando a huge mess without much hope. His 'plans' or whatever the hell it is affected his heart and play, and it seemed to affected his teammates. He also threw a monkey wrench in the Orlando Team Chemistry as a whole. The media circus to this makes it worse. At least for The Decision, there wasn't that much drama leading up to it. All this drama about Dwight is ridiculous. He's screwed up a team and done it in a really childish manner.
So, nevertheless, MeloDrama was the least of three evils. Denver and NY are both playoff teams, and Denver is arguably better now.
The Decision was in the middle. The welcome party was far worse than the actual The Decision, but that's just me. He may have screwed over Cleveland, but Gilbert screwed over LeBron for years. And now, LeBron has at least apologized for it.
Dwightmare is the worst. He's screwed up his team and created a media circus that is baffling.
