MJ Doesn't like LBJ's decision either.



Mr. Air Jordan himself finally gave a comment on the whole Lebron fiasco, telling reporters that

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,' " Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."
It's obvious to me that Jordan doesn't like Lebron's decision. Maybe not as much as Cleveland fans, but he gets it. There is no doubt that Lebron can never be considered one of the greats. This isn't out of anger, at least, anymore. It's just fact.

Lebron ruined his legacy, because he couldn't win a championship "by himself". He could have easily tried to get someone, Chris Paul, or a rookie even, to come to Cleveland. Instead, he took the easy way out and now is going to pay heavily for it. Sure we can continue to poke fun at him, burn his jeresys and whatnot, but the fact won't change that he set a terrible example for kids trying to be just like him in the future. If the next Lebron James wants to be like Lebron, what is he to do?
