- Lebron is a Jordan that needs is Pippen. NY is the place he can get it, not Cleveland, an aged flawed team with a worrying future.

- Bosh is an awesome second guy, a Pippen. He's not a Jordan and he knows that. He has a calm demeanor that would surely be relieved to have a Lebron in the spotlight taking the heat instead of him.

- They both have been playing under crappy coaches, they have the opportunity to play for one of the best offensive masterminds in basketball. For those who doubt this, read 7 sec or less, read comments from the Dream teamers about D'Anthony. The Suns are his creation, make no mistake about it. NY is the place they can have that kind of great coach.

- Money won't be an issue. What they lose in salary they'll make back in endorsements or business opportunities.

- Most of the NBA teams play in souless arenas, empty seats, hockey fan crowd. The Garden is a place of Legend, the fans have been there during bad times and remained. The fans hvae endured Layden, Thomas, Curry's driver and the ''I am the best PG in the league'' kind of times, and still came to the Garden. The place can rock like nowhere else. As a star, this is the place where you want to play basketball.

- The city is, well, the most incredible city in the world. NY is a running heart filled with passion. It never walks, it nver sleeps, it never stops. You're a young millionar, this is the place where you want to be.

- Legacy. Think about your carreer as a player. What do you want to be remembered for? 'Cause, you know, they all want to be remembered for something. Bring a title to NY, you will enter the legend. You will put a shadow on Jordan's statue. Forget Chitown, forget LalaLand. Bring a title to NY, and you will be forever King.

I'm not a pink colored glasses kind of guy. It's just that it makes too much sense. Lebron and his Pippen, whoever will he be, know that there are lifetime opportunities that you can't miss. Attention starving gifted basketbal players know that too.

Nobody can win it all alone. Jordan needed Pippen and Jackson,Pierce needed Allen and KG, Kobe needed Gasol and Jackson again, Wade needed Shaq, Riley and the referees.

All you have, Lebron, is Mike Brown, a sucking city, a bloated cap, fans that need prerecorded ''D-Fence'' chants to make up for their absence.

All you have in Cleveland is what you are.

It just makes too much sense.

That said, I don't dig quitters. Happy about the upgrade, not pleased with the people.

Though I wouldn't call LeBron "Jordan." Jordan would NEVER bite his finger nails like a scared schoolgirl

I see Gallo as our stretch "4" OR S&T'd to Toronto for Bosh. I still dont see Bosh taking a less than 6yr deal.

Can he win in NY? Well, he can get the sidekick of his asking and he will have some very nice young pieces to build with in Will, Gallo and TD. NY has the makings of a good core.

I think it will happen.

Bitchassness at it's finest. Kobe pulled the same crap a few years ago. If you want to be "THE MAN" then act like it.

Patrick Ewing did it too. It's not something you tell the media. LeBron James' teammates must feel like crap right now.

I pity the fools. Lebron looked like he already threw in the towel last night (i.e., on his coach, his mates, his city). He has the demeanor of a guy who read the writing on the wall and has moved his attention on to the future. Does anyone doubt that means NYK? I don't. Go Celtics go!

(disclaimer: My rooting for the Celtics is a one-time-only necessity for this round of the playoffs. It has no bearing on any future activities of that franchise and I plan to fully restore hatin on them when they beat the Cavs tomorrow night.)

it's like a temporary Newsday policy.

if Spike Lee can do it... can't we all?

Before being the greatest ever, Jordan was also known to be a whiny bitch that had other players to be traded because they couldn't catch his passes. ;)

But... Quitters? Really? What does Lebron really owe to Cleveland that would warrant him to stay in this crappy town, crappy team, crappy coach?
Regarding Bosh, this team signed Turk to become their next Vin Baker. The team is headed nowhere. Why should Bosh stay?

If your company sucked despite your talent and countless efforts, would you stay there or would you find another job some place else?

I know I would leave for sure, and I'm no quitter.

Nobody never won alone. He knows it, we all know it. He just really accepted the fact that he is freaking alone there. Pretty scary though...

I will say that everyone has bad games, and maybe LeBron is just doing his version of the Laker Lightswitch, playing with his prey and almost letting it get away. OKC and Celtics are good teams, let's not forget to give them credit. Ray Allen is a cold-blooded killer, he shot the hearts out of the Cavs arena. Everyone just sitting around -- particularly the Cavs bench -- with their mouths open looking at LeBron.

+1 to the sentiment imagining if he had a game like this on the Knicks, the wailing in the streets of New York, and the gnashing of teeth on blogs, sports talk radio & TV will be insane. Hope dude can get some thicker skin than Patrick Ewing. And you always knew that dude was giving his best, because he was sweating buckets! Don't think he was a nailbiter.

I might actually go into a Boston fan bar and watch this game tomorrow.

Knick fans you either have standards and ways of judging players or you don't. If the Cavs turn this thing around and go on to win a Championship there will be no mention of Lebron's teammates just how great he is.
