What do you have to say about LeBron realizing he can't win a ring with a team built around him before you did?

Well we're going to find out how Cleveland players without LeBron. I personally guarentee under 30 wins; where the Lakers would be pushing for the 7th-8th seed without Kobe; if not higher since the Suns lost Amare.
Believe me, if Wade & Bosh were waiting in Chicago a few years back when Kobe was bitching he "NEEDS" help, he woulda bounced in a second.

The only way Kobe woulda ever bounced from LA is if he knew for a fact that management would not attempt to build a contender, and clearly, he wasn't gunna let that happen. Kobe made it clear from the start of his career that he wanted to be a Laker for life, and when he had doubts that the organization was going in the right direction, he even sought the advice of the guy he most respected, Jerry West, who advised him that finishing his career in a Laker jersey would be best for him...LeBron has never been committed to Cleveland in the way Kobe has been to LA, and that's pretty damn obvious to anyone with a brain right about now LOL.

So what's that mean? Kobe is more loyal? lol, if they didn't build the team he was as good as gone. You just said it yourself that he was never as commited to Cleveland...
You also have said that "Everybody whose won has needed help" when I said Kobe couldn't do it without Pau, Ron, Odom & Bynum.
Why is this any different? Because it's LeBron? lol..

Wade is pretty much now the go-to-guy just as much, if not more than LeBron is...comparing Kobe having a team built around him with a supporting cast that includes Gasol and Odom to LeBron clearly acknowledging that he can't win as the main guy on a contending team by moving over to Wade's team is pretty dumb, to say the least...LeBron is gutless, guys. Just face it.

They haven't even played a complete second together & you can say that?
What if LeBron averages 27 & Wade only 20? You don't know what the numbers are going to read after they start playing together.

One indication that Wade and the Heat respect LeBron's greatness is how Wade gets treated like a new player. He's everywhere with them, holding jerseys and shit as if he was new like them. If the Heat was designed to be "his" team, he'd sit more in the background, acting as if he brought them niggas onto his team. Technically, the Heat was just the only team that was able to sign ALL 3 of them and still pay them nicely with low taxes while having a guy who knows how to win rings and play dirty in Pat Riley. That's why they went there, not because Wade is the man.

LOL...you don't get it, do you?...LeBron finally has someone to defer to, someone who would rather have the ball in his hands in the final minutes, under pressure, someone who would cherish that moment way more than he does. Wade is not a Pau Gasol or a Manu Ginobli, he's a franchise player who you can build a team around...By LeBron agreeing to join forces with Wade, it takes a hell of a lot of pressure off of him to lead the way, and LeBron's leadership has been questioned throughout his career.. this wasn't a way to prove the doubters wrong about that. His willingness to admit that he can't be the sole go-to-guy pretty much just sums up what I (and many other basketball heads) have been saying about him all along...the LeBron apologists just couldn't see it for what it was back then, because you were "witnesses" (LOL) to the most overhyped individual athlete to ever play the game. He's a stat-machine, and that's where it ends...PeACe
