    joining an at the time role player siakam and continually dissapointing raptors squad is the same as creating the not 4, not 5, not 6 cHeat squad?

    hopping to an MVP Wade and all NBA Bosh = joining siakam. and kyle lowry?

    No.

    He went to a team known for getting its ass kicked. his right hand man was a guy who wouldve gotten paid less than soloman hill on any other squad.

    The '19 raptors werent even title favorites let alone dynasty candidates.

    you're a chump for even making that inference.

    Maybe if we're talking about strictly at this moment, Magic might be a decent answer.. but the man was being called Tragic Johnson by the whole nation after the '84 finals. Even when Duncan was playing and in his prime, I honestly can't remember him being heavily criticized. Even when the Spurs lost to the 8th seeded Grizzlies in the first round in 2011, I really don't remember Duncan getting much flak for it.

    this x 1000


    Tpols brain simply can't compute the "faking an injury for a year and holding a franchise hostage" part


    this forum would explode if Lebron in his prime rested 20 games a year on day to day fake injuries, just the Kawhit usual night off

    Nobody ever hated on bron for his lack of longevity.

    Most people in the camp against him vote the way they do because he doesnt "fit" with great teams the way a kawhi would, and he doesnt have the matching closing ability or defense.

    According your logic, you give credit to players that join lesser teams amirite?

    hopping to an MVP Wade and all NBA Bosh = joining siakam. and kyle lowry?
    You are misleading other posters. Lets replace the Heat with the Cavaliers.

    LeBron James joined a significantly worst team than the Raptors.

    To put all this into perspective, LeBron James joined a Cavs team that wasnt EVEN in the playoffs and Kawhi joined a Raptors team that just finished 1st seed in the Eastern Conference Finals and made it to the ECF.

    You dont bash and give credit to Kawhi because he joined a Raptors team that was just the #1 seed but you dont give credit to LeBron James b/c he joined a subpar Cavs team that missed the playoffs.

    I also notice that you just put in the Heat. Why not the Cavaliers?

    You logic is flawed.

    Your trickery is not enough to fool me like most posters here.

    Try again.

    Again, also false. How could you justify that a team was getting ¨its ass kicked¨ if they finished 3rd and 1st in the East and was getting deep into the playoffs in back-to-back seasons???

    You post makes no sense.

    The '19 raptors werent even title favorites
    Well last I checked, the 2018-19 Raptors were top 5 favorites to win the title. Check basketball reference.

    Try again. You are not going to fool me.

    What LeBron did was worse.

    LeBron joined with the #2(wade) and #4(Bosh) PER in the league in 2011

    That would be like if...

    Leonard joined with Anthony Davis and Steph Curry in 2019

    George Mikan. Guy lost in the division finals and everyone overlooks it as if it never happened just because he wore cool glasses.

    By ESPN? LeBron.. easily. They're not the ones criticizing LeBron, it's the fans and the blowback for their biased covereage ala Fox News pro Trump propaganda/rhetoric.

    I love how Bosh gets the All-NBA label when he didn't even make All-NBA in 2010. Or '09. Or '08. Or any season with LeBron. Dude misses the All-NBA Team 12/13 years but he's "All-NBA Bosh" Not disingenuous at all
