Another point of view on the LBJ/Bulls scenario

I'm gonna make this short and sweet. If LeBron leaves Cleveland he's gonna take a huge hit to his legacy and Cleveland fans will for sure hate him no matter where he goes but in my mind there is only one place that could save his future legacy and that is Chicago. Yea he could go to NYK and win maybe one championship but if he leaves Cleveland he's really risking a lot as far as how he will be perceived. However if he leaves and goes to Chicago under this "HUGE" shadow of MJ and ends up winning 3-6 championships his legacy will be redeemed and I believe Chicago is the only place he can end up as a legit GOAT candidate now that he's failed miserably in Cleveland. It's a risk but it's realistically his last shot at becoming the GOAT.

If LBJ really wants to become the GOAT his only shot at it in my opinion would be to go to Chicago. It's a big risk but he's an ego maniac and big rewards take big risks.

All these people act like he doesn't want to go to Chicago because he'll be compared to Jordan but that is the only way he'll ever be able to rise above MJ, you must overcome the greatest to become the greatest.

I'm a Bulls fan, and I would like to see Bron in Chi, however I think Bron in NY is more realistic be it with the Knicks or Nets, I'm still hoping Chicago get's him and will root for him to come to Chi, however one thing I have to give the Knicks is that they have a nice S&T package available if they want, with Wilson Chandler and Eddy Currry's expiring contract, that can land them a pretty good player to pair with any free agent that they sign.

I sure as hell hope he goes to Chi Town though. I'm just trying to be realistic also. Even if WWW is on our side haha.

He'd take a hit to his legacy more going to Chicago being in MJ's shadow if he doesn't pull together a great string of 3-4 championships then he would in New York.
