So if he goes to NYC and never wins a ring....how's his Global Image then? And I'm in no way implying he'll never win one in NY cuz none of us know which team really gives him the best chance at a ring. But what if he goes to the Knicks and doesn't win at least one. Despite the NY fan's guarantees of at least one Ring with Lebron, let's just say he doesn't even get that one....or to be fair, let's say he knows it's a 50/50 chance...which could be the same odds he has on any other team, then is that risk worth it? I can see how it might be worth it. But...
...championships translate into Global Image. And don't give me the Tim Duncan comparison because we all know Big Tim stays away from the limelight but had he been as much of a media-whore as Lebron, he too would've been a global image, but big Tim chose to be what he is.
WADR that's a bad argument. LeBron going anywhere and not winning hurts his image.
What makes you think going to the Bulls is a great chance at a title? Difference is, when he wins one in Chicago, he'll be down 1-6. When he wins one in NY, he owns the city and has his legacy cemented. He's 1-0 on Ewing and 1-0 on all of the Knicks since 1973.
And if you think he feels going to play with Rose is so attractive and that the team will win for sure, you're fooling yourself. So even winning 1 is far from a given.
The Rose thing is out of hand now. Rose scores against a Cavs team that has nobody to defend him and everybody is buying this guy as a great player. He won ONE playoff game. I'm officially anti-Rose. It's stupid.
I can't wait till we have LeBron and Toney Douglas is getting into Rose and taking away half his game.
