Greg Oden took LESS money to play with Lebron... (yet another)

[Ratzz]

what a hilarious pattern..

another guy bit his wallet for a chance to play with Lebron..
something that most definitely does not occur with Kobe,..

with Kobe in fact, it is quite the opposite..

players bite their wallet NOT to play with . lol
it's not really 'playing with Kobe'.. it's being dissed, and left waiting for a pass that never comes.
but they do accept lesser contracts elsewhere,
to play in cities*with fewer alternatives.

Ramon Sessions.. (Bobcats)
JR Smith..(Knicks)
Dwight Howard.. (this one is HUGE , he left $30M to avoid Kobe)

i am missing a couple i know..*

but the list will continue to grow..
just watch next summer, when no All-Stars goes to LA, even though offered
the moon.

kobe would average less than 16pts a game if he took the same amount of shots as lebron. hes a ballhog

Ratzz, You are indeed missing a few....namely

Earl Clark
Shaq
Caron Butler
Trevor Ariza
Phil Jackson (lol)

The Lakers will have to acquire a superstar willing to take less to play there in 2014....Melo has stated he will not do so...Lebron does not respect Kobe's game...so I don't see him going...its going to be tough for them to get a TIER 1 type player....Dwight was the top tier signing...and Stern vetoed Paul....TIER 2 and 3 type players can tolerate Kobe's nonsense.(See Nash and Gasol)...and that who they will have to sign...the problem is....this is not 2009...the Western Conference is is as difficult as the MLB AL EAST...every team is a threat to win a ring...you need 2 major stars and a top shelf TIER 2 type player....to contend..

No TIER 1 type superstar is willing to come and play with Kobe at this point...never mind take less to do so...not after what Kobe did to Shaq and Dwight....

wow.. i mean WOW... Mens'
how could i forget those names!??!... YIKES... this is even worse than i thought.. (severe case Kobe-itis for Lakers)
call 911 immediately.

HEAT got Oden for $1.5M.. a season.. hardly a wager, really.
if he works out... and i think it will..
i really feel with him it was not his body but his 'mental or spiritual readiness'..

so.. again.. if it does pan out, and he stays healthy and plays to his potential..
they have another 'No.1 Overall Pick" as a starter down the line..

that's alot of:

1) easy buckets...
2) Rebounds
3) blocked shots

Odie is 7 Ft...

Birdman is 6'10" *(228 lbs.)

and Greg Oden is 7'0" (285 lbs.)

that is a significant increase in size... and weight especially.. hard to push around.

this is yet another example how 'sharing' the ball... creates winning and Championships..

go "share"
