AWESOME article about LeBron choking!

This is beautifully written. I put it in the Finals thread, but it's honestly so good that I think any fan of the game of basketball will thoroughly enjoy this read.

It's a Lil lengthy but stick with it, it's totally worth it, and he ties everything together masterfully.

Edit: I've lost a lot of respect for LeBron after reading what D Wade said to him. He has responded fuging HORRIBLY!! I'm telling you guys... This is a must read

I'm a Heat fan and I agree with everything said in this article !

The font makes my eyes bleed.

I'm on my phone.. Youre probably pulling up the mobile version. See if you can find a good link from your CPU at home. It's an article on ESPN written by Bill Simmons.

Actual title: It's time for LeBrondown, Part II

Actually liked the article. It really lays out the impact of the decision and the makeup of the team. Bill doesn't flip flop, D.Wade is the heart of the team. I mean he won a title with the team already, its his.

And Lebron doesn't need to be MJ, he isn't MJ, he won't be MJ. Lebron is Lebron, and everyone tunes in to see what he does next. Thats what makes game 5 so interesting. The big story is 'how will Lebron respond'

KT I'm not trying to start anything, but you have such a blatant man-crush on LeBron that I don't think you have ever said anything but good things about him. It kind of makes what you have to say regarding LeBron hard to take seriously.

In relation to the article. Damn good article and I pretty much agreed with 95% of it.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
