And that's how it should be, enough of those weak superfriends joining teams.

That's right. Derrick isn't a coward of a competitor.

True! If only the rest of the league were like him and not trying to be friends with everyone, there would be more rivalries and it would be more exciting.

Instead, they join in boring superteams

who?

I don't get this whole 'boring superteam' nonsense that people spit out.

Players have been coming together to win championships ever since the NBA started. This isn't a new phenomenon.

The goal of an NBA team is to win the championship, and is most players goal too.

MJ and Kobe never recruited either (except for maybe Artest but he was dying to play in LA). D Rose has that same mentality.

The Bulls are good enough to win as is anyways. Look how good they did last year without their best player. They don't have the cap space to recruit anyone anyways.

To be fair though, the Lakers have always put a good team around Kobe and he hasn't had the need to recruit. He was in a good situation the moment he got drafted and later in his career, picked up Pau/Bynum for new teammates and even though it didn't work out Nash/Howard. Lakers did well to put a team around him.

Cleveland didn't do this well enough, which is why Lebron chose to leave.

of course not, he will have someone else do that for him..........like he did in school

Where did I mention Lebron anywhere in my post?

You didn't, I mentioned Lebron because of the 'boring superteam' guy above you and to compare their situations.

Well then he has a huge ego. Because let's get one thing straight, recruiting players and reaching out to them is a sign of welcoming them and making them feel wanted. By recruiting players he could help out his team and make his team much better. If Rose calling for example Kevin Love or LMA is what would make those guys decide to join Chicago then he's an idiot for not doing so.

back in the days, players wanted to beat the competition... not recruit/join them

LMA already wants to go to Chicago without Rose recruiting him. Chicago can't get anyone anyways, unless they make a trade, so why are you bringing up Kevin Love and LMA who already wants to go there?

Did MJ get on his knees and beg Dennis Rodman to come join him? No. He was an MVP like Rose is, and figured others would be lucky to play with him and not the other way around.
