Nice opinion. Cheers bro.
I have a different one. Let's just drop it.
Except he is very much right, and you are very much wrong.

Closing in on MJ BIGTIME! Yeah right, even if he does get over the Warriors. That's still just 50% of the rings MJ got. That's just the rings. Let's not get into the fact Jordan managed to do a threepeat.
Something that had previously only been done by Russell's Celtics and since only by Shaq's Lakers. Oh and Jordan did it twice just in case you all missed him do it the first time.
But it's like beating a dead horse. LeBron is great, no question. He just isnt MJ. He never will be. He's simply not as good.
Kyries on a five year right? Can't have 2x5 year max dealsI think a good question is "Will LeBron be worth a 5 year max contract at the end of next season?"
I mean this year he has decided to sign a 2 year deal on the basis that the new TV deal is going to up the cap after next year. So he has taken a punt on himself.
Now no one would have said anything about him having signed at the start of the season for a 5 year max. In fact every team in the league would have done it.
But after his current 2 year deal he will be 31 years old. A 5 year max will see him turn 36 during his final year. That's a lot of money to be paying someone who is 36. He'll be an old 36 as well, with not having played college and the amount of playoff basketball he has played.
There aren't too many players in the history of the game that have been worth max contract past their 35th birthday.

Yeah, but I don't see that aspect changing tbh.The new collective bargaining agreement hasn't been written yet.

LBJ would get a 5 year max without even a second of hesitation. It might turn out to be expensive when he's 36 but it's a bargain when he's 31.I think a good question is "Will LeBron be worth a 5 year max contract at the end of next season?"

Yep. You'd be hoping he wins a couple of rings over those 5 years though. Say he wins 2 in the first 4 years who cares about the 5th year being an overpayLBJ would get a 5 year max without even a second of hesitation. It might turn out to be expensive when he's 36 but it's a bargain when he's 31.
You need to look at more than just on court performance when it comes to value for money for Lebron.
How many seats/merch etc does he bring into the Cavs? He is under paid on a max deal. At 36 he might not be the best player on the planet, but his return on investment over those 5 years would be massive.
I read an article where Lebron added over $100Mil in ticket sales alone this season compared to the years he wasn't there.
They already are!The answers still yes lol.
This is the greatest NBA Finals appearance by a player by a ******* country mile. Imagine if he pulls this off. Oh lord Jordan fan boys gonna be mad
Yeah would LeBron really lock himself in to a 5 year deal. What if he has a chance in a couple of years to hook up with AD or someone and win more rings. He chases rings. He wont want to lock himself in.Yeah, but I don't see that aspect changing tbh.
Bron will probably go 2 year max deals with opt outs, much like his current deal you'd think

He wont be going anywhere. He only left cause management continued to lie to him and not deliver on their promises. Things are different now, Dan Gilbert isnt involved as much although im sure he will take the credit if they win it even though he deserves * all.Said when he came back he isn't going to leave again. Will see if that comes true or not, but I'm pretty confident he will be a Cavalier for the rest of his career. He's matured a lot in 5 years since he first left us, I don't think he'll do that again to the fans and especially the whole city of Cleveland.
Very true, only started to like him when he started to mature, around the end of 2012 (think Boston series).Said when he came back he isn't going to leave again.

I was devastated when he left but I never hated him. Hated his decision, but never hated him.Very true, only started to like him when he started to mature, around the end of 2012 (think Boston series).
