Heard Michael on Amad telling lebron no need to retire his number, unless you retire all the greats, the game is bigger than one player, Jordan is a myth and a legend and great basketball player and give it to the man, still has a little humility, stayed in chicago and put it firmly on the map, much like gretzky and edmonton.
It's easy to sell out to the big market, make your home town proud stay in cleveland. Ha ha ha and you said you can't say anything tell Shaq to lose some weight and you guys will win a championship and keep it and dynasty that @#$%, and when that next punk kid says he wants to retire your number tell him you ain't won one championship yet.
How did Nash fool everyone?
The Ice man had soul, so did the ABA....Dr. J dunked better the Jordan ask Cooper. The Wizard chose the hard way. ..Vancouver Seattle pro basket ball gone, ask Bibby.
If James is interested in myth building staying in Cleveland will play better in AsiA.

Sure, the Lakers will probably beat the Suns the next time they face each other. Laker fans will get a big fat head, and shoot their mouths off as usual. The schedule once again has the Suns playing the Lakers in LA on the 2nd game of a back to back but don't be surprised if the Suns make the next one a very close game and make you a little bit nervous. You better do your celebrating because the Suns will take the last two games on their court so it will be tied at the end of the season.
