What boxers can learn from Wade, Bosh & Lebron

different scenarios... garnett, rayray, and paul are already paid their dues and already past their prime when they decided to team up (not to mention that they are not max. contract players when that deal happened). they already tried to carry their teams on their backs and gave their all even if they were surrounded with mostly shitty teammates. IMO it's just fair for them to get to a winning team for a change esp. that now that they are already on the decline. those guys already developed the intagibles along with their skills that they need to become winners through those rough years... while these new big 3 on the other hand, are 3 great players who are still on their primes (or might even still develop), all three can be considered #1 option scorer on any team they might end up with, all mvp-calibre players, all still have a lot to prove on their careers. to me, it just looked like they are trying to go through the shorter way to glory.

i'm mostly dissapointed at wade though (even if he's one of my fave players today), i didn't expect him to become a diva on that free-agency thing (i already expected that james and bosh will act like that). to ask his fellow top-tier free agents to have their own little meetings and pilgrimage just reeks of attention whoring. if you want to leave the team, then leave... IMO it's disrespectful for a player, however great he is, to
act like that towards the franchise and put pressure on them after their effort to build that championship team around him.

it's funny how bosh followed wade around though, i was surprised that stan van gundy had that same impression when he said that bosh acte like wade's "lapdog". i mean, youre good enough to carry your own team. why the hell do you have to be following someone like he's your daddy or something.

 

back to the topic... it's hard to compare considering the level of risk w/ boxing.

 

"Legacy dont pay the bills"

 

I hate basketball I didnt care where he went I just hoped he suprised everyone instead of going to Miami when they already scored Bosh and Wade.

 

You mean agree to take less money and make sure you make it as easy as possible for you to win a belt? Yeah, I think many boxers got that covered...

 

Wade, Bosh and Lebron are all pussies, they have to put themselves in 1 team to win a championship. What did Jordan do? drafted by a dreadful franchise -- and he turned it into a dynasty. Jordan didn't join the best, he beat the best.

Instead of those 3 pussies, I suggest boxers learn from Jordan....fight the best and beat the best.

 

what sacrifices are they making.. and how are they proving that they're the best.. they needed to join forces to try and win that's saying to me that lebron wasnt good enough to do it on his own and couldnt build his own legacy like kobe, jordan, magic, bird and others did before him

:hat

 

b4 you start tryin to bliindly hate on a great move do your research lil dude, cause if you did you would knw that MJ aint win one till they acquired Pippen and phil jackson so in essence they did the same thing the heat are doin you delusional fool.atsch would people stop hating on such a good move? when they win the championship yall gon end up lookin as stupid as The Cav's owner for sayin that cleveland would win one b4 lebron......now thats funny:rofl:rofl

 

Oh yeah...phil jackson and pippen were the bomb when they acquired both of this guys to help MJ win his 6 rings

 

Mayweather can learn from lebron so when he retires or fight PAC he can have an hour special

 

I agree that boxers should get paid more though it's not as big of a sport as basketball now, it's much riskier and can cost people their lives.

 

Yes they can learn that its going to take 3 of them at once to beat the best...:yep It will take James Wade and Bosh to beat Kobe :good

 

The boxing analogy that came to mind for me was the formation of Golden Boy (perhaps Riley plays the role of Schaefer). LeBron rejected a system that said he should play for scumbag owners (Gilbert in Cleveland who has shown his true colors and Jimmy Dolan in New York who is insanely incompetent) and went to play with his friends, in an organization with some hint of class. Put power in the hands of the players not rolling over for bad characters with money and bought power.

 

King James is the face of sports. If the Heat add a few minor pieces, they will be a force for the next 5 years. King James has changed the NBA for the better. Expect to see more superstar free agent teamups in the future. As far as Money and Manny, they have nothing to learn from King James. Money is not holding up that fight.
