    1. Hakeem didnt pronounce himself "King Dream" or refer to himself as "The Chosen One".

    2. He didnt make a spectacle of himself with "The Decision"

    3. He didnt promise to bring "Not 3. Not 4. Not 5. Not 6." rings to his franchise.

    Get em!

    Nggas dont even remember that Hakeem's first 10 years of his career were very similar to Lebron's. Both had a finals appearance, but both had the scrutiny of never winning the big 1.

    Lebron gets ? for "building a team", but ? Hakeem wouldnt have won ? if Mike aint retire.

    But i will say i think historically everyone outside the IC rates Hakeem accurately. He's as generous as top 8, consensus is in fringe top 10 territory.

    The IC? Hakeem Olajuwon is top 5 DOA.

    How you figure dream wouldn't have won a title if Mike didn't quit?

    I love how people ignore the fact that Jordan came back in 95. And before people start talking about how Jordan wasnt himself. He was averaging more points and shooting a higher FG% percentage in the playoffs than he would the next three postseasons during the second 3-Peat.

    So y'all really mad that ? believe in himself.

    There's a difference between believing in yourself and basically calling yourself the face of the NBA before you've
    accomplished anything. I didnt have a problem with Lebron til "The Decision" but I could see how others would.

    LOL at anyone thinking Bosh ain't going to the HOF. Dude numbers are better than a lot of people in the Hall.

    Robert Parish averaged 14 and 9 for ? sakes and was in the Hall.

    Dennis Johnson averaged 14 and 5 and he in the hall of fame.

    James Worthy average 17 and 5.


    Chris Bosh is a career 19 and 9 dude but let some people tell it, he ain't hall of fame. Bosh has made timely shoots and plays in the Heat playoff runs.

    A ? talking that cash money ? and backing it up. I just don't see the problem.

    ? big themselves up all the time on court on the field and with their friends.

    But a ? say it where everybody can hear it's a problem.

    I've been to a cpl Lakers games before. One game I was damn near court side.

    And I heard Kobe say "nobody can ? guard me"

    I was amped as ? when I heard that. Talking that cash money ? .

    I bet none of y'all have a problem with that.

    Duncan talking that cash money ? right now. Basically saying they gon handle them ? .

    If y'all want a bunch of P. Manning fake ass answers, y'all can have them.

    I wanna hear how you really feel.

    Well if Lebron pulls off this 3 peat and walks away with another Finals MVP ? gone look silly still tryna find ways to belittle him and his legacy...He'd be the 1st Superstar to lead his team to A 3peat while leading the squad in Points,Rebounds,and Assists,1 of 5 players to win at least 3 Finals MVPs (MJ,Magic,Shaq,Duncan,him),and 1 of only 5 players to win at least 4 League MVP Awards (MJ,Russell,Kareem,Wilt).All before 30 years old at that.

    you left out the part where lebron was given the title of greatest player. with greatness comes great expectations.
    plus hakeem won with less than lebron did.
    if hakeem had barkley and drexler in their primes like the heat trio they'da won a whole lot more

    A lot of Bulls fans and Jordan ? riders would disagree. They swear had MJ not retired the Bulls would win every title for the decade
