FEATURED COMMENT
“People who think LeBron James quit on his team are hilarious! Basketball is a team sport. Kobe couldn't do it without Gasol or Shaq or Bynum. Neither could D-Wade. (Shaq doesn't count as a star player now because he's old.) So for the Cavs, they should get some better players who can, ya know, shoot a basketball. Otherwise this will continue to happen each year.
