It's his court antics and demeanor. For him to to be compared to all time greats, he acts pretty damn entitled and spoiled, basically like he's always called, a Diva. The greats he's often compared to had to work to get where they are and face their peers who were considered the top dog, but Bron has had the silver spoon since elementary school and it shows. He pouts about things not going his way, Dramatic as hell, passive aggressive cockiness on the court, and acts like he's being unjustly convicted of Murder when the Refs actually grow a spine a give him a well deserved Foul that's just one too many for Lebron's comfort level.

Too many times in his career you're constantly saying "Man get your sh%t together" to Lebron, usually from a mental angle. And he Flops, a LOT. The one player who has absolutely no reason to flop at all prefers to abuse the Refs stupidity instead of relying on his greatness.

When they asked him about promoting himself to a different position this season he looked like he could not believe they would ask him that.

Our chances of landing a big time free agent are basically nonexistent right now.

Which is why we got the second best free agent on the market last offseason on a below market deal.

Wait, that's correct isn't it?

Pau Gasol was no longer a young franchise player when he signed here. He was an aging player on the downside of his career. Many people were unsure of his future production because of his last couple years with the Lakers. He was great this season, but we'll be lucky to get a repeat season out of him.

You can keep trumpeting this fabulous front office all day long, but it won't change the fact that the Bulls organization is viewed horribly.

As I type this, the national media has been ripping the Bulls organization to shreds since the Thibs news broke.

What am I trumpeting? I think you're absurdly negative about them, that's all. I think they're pretty good, but obviously imperfect.

Would MUCH prefer beating LeBron than having him on the Bulls. He can keep his sideline dancing, flopping a$$ off my team, thanks. I'm still beside myself that Gilbert and the Cavs fans took him back with open arms but - hey - anything for a title run, right? Let's forget all about that open letter where Gilbert called him a disloyal coward. It's all good. There's money to be made.

Pathetic.


I agree, there's no way I'll root for a team LeBron is on. He's incredibly talented but he's the biggest drama queen in the NBA and that's saying something. I don't think I could watch him flop anytime someone blew on him for 5+years.

Lebron wouldn't have last one year under Thibs. Thibs is the anti-Pace and Space coach

If not for Jerseys + MJ, this could be the Bucks

I wish LeBron had signed here. He's the greatest player of this era and much better than anyone we'll ever see play for this team again.

Instead of first and second round exits, we'd have been able to witness multiple championships, a truly rare feat in sports.

You mean Thibs wouldn't have lasted one year with LeBron. Players run the league. Thibs probably would have had an aneurysm.

Kobe Bryant > LeBron James

And you're so confident in "multiple" titles had LeBitch signed here? Pretty presumptuous for a guy about to fall to 2-4 in the Finals. All that help wasn't coming here with him that he had on South Beach.

As long Jordan is remembered i say the Bulls brand will still matter. You might get that high level talent on your team in the history of the franchise.

You may want to reconsider your position on the Blackhawks.
Honesty is my only excuse.

Can they run a team to a championship? How many player run teams were dynasties?

This times a 1000.

This is how I felt in 2010 and how I feel right now. I wouldn't give a **** about a title if the franchise that I love so much ever decided to sign this piece of ****.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Heat basically were a player-run team when Lebron was there, not a dynasty but thats a couple titles there. Cavs if they win are even more a player-run team also

There is really no good argument for putting Kobe above Lebron. That ship sailed a long time ago. Lebron is clearly a better player than Kobe. No question.

Agree, hard to believe the media just skips over Kobe who during his prime media force fed us that he was the 'next greatest player ever'

Lebron is quite clearly a better player than Kobe. That is why. There is just no comparison. Look at all the stats. LeBron is just better. The media didn't love Kobe when he was making finals? Where were you?

Everyone knows Lebron is better than Kobe now, but comparing them at their prime is the argument. I dont think its fair the media just skips over Kobe to compare Lebron to MJ. Kobe was crowned the greatest ever at times by the media, but now Lebron is compared to MJ

Fans will worship a guy who punched his teammate and is a notorious POS in michael jordan, they love the contributions of a bad boy who would try to injure bulls players in dennis rodman, but lebron being too much of a "diva" is just too much for them. Pretty laughable.

Media loved Kobe pre-rape trial, where were you? Im not comparing them in 2015 lol...im not arguing who is better or whatever, my beef is with the media's crowning of the greatest ever players. They try to feed every generation a new 'greatest ever' player without comparing them to their last 'greatest ever' player

Return to Chicago Bulls
