The interestingly thing is he originally said he'd retire after next year.
Well now the Lakers have no real reason to pay him $30 mil+the luxury tax hit, so is it possible that they amnesty him?
People would talk about before but there was zero chanceiit would happen.
I'm wondering now if that changes anything. IIt's an expensive price to pay to show goodwill to him and not let him go out like that, thats for sure .

it's going to be interesting to say the least.
my best guess is they keep paying him until he says he doesn't want to play anymore. he keeps people in the seats.

He had one of the funniest quotes you'll see today :
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear".

Looking at recent history, Shaquille O'Neal and Amar'e Stoudemire are the only players who have shot better than James from the floor on at least 15 attempts per game since 1996-97 (when the StatsCube database began tracking shot distance data). When Shaq shot 57.4 percent in his 1999-00 MVP campaign, his average shot distance was 4.4 feet, or less than half the average distance of James' attempts (11.2 feet to be exact). When Stoudemire shot 59 percent in 2007-08, his average shot distance was 7.0 feet. So, if you lay Stoudemire and Shaq's average shot distance end-to-end, that's roughly the distance you're getting with James.

Shel's obsession with Lebron gets creepier with each post.
And he isnt even a Heat fan.

someone needs to do it.
Lebron is the most underrated player in the league, that's how incredible what he's doing is.

I couldn't disagree more.
If this were so, everyone would be marveling over the things he's done and you wouldn't be saying I'm obsessed when I post these things that no one is even talking about LOL.

I don't think very many people have any idea who incredible his season has been.
you can be the unanimous best and still be underrated.

We all know when guys are good or even incredible, but sometimes a little perspective helps to understand just how good and incredible they are. But going forward, I will now know that you spit on such a thing as perspective LOL.
I should just post more eye test type stuff, that would impress you more.

you make it seem like its a knock on you. how closely do you really follow the sport?
unless you're a nerd analyzing shit like shel and I do all the time, I wouldn't expect anyone to really grasp how crazy he's been.
if you do get it, then good on ya... most don't tho. hence why I think he's the most underrated player in the league.

You can't start the daily trash talking festivities, then get smarmy and attempt to end them.
It doesn't work that way!!!!
