It’s all on LeBron. The greatest F-up of team chemistry in sports history.

Great players do not necessarily make a great team. Good players who work together where no one has to be the star make a better team than a bunch of Madonnas who think they are God’s gift to sports.

Too many chiefs and no Indians. The work (team play) doesn’t get done.

So very true!

No one can claim the NBA is entertaining. Watched with my granddaughter (a good bbl player) the playoffs last night (Timberwolves & somebody else) I’m sure the players were getting as bored as I was.

Bingo! This is what happens when ego and pride get in the way of sound decision making.

How exciting is it watching a 7’ guy putting a ball in a 10’ basket?

“It’s all on LeBron. The greatest F-up of team chemistry in sports history.”
It’s a TEAM sport. Bringing in highly individually talented Prima Donnas is never the answer. In fact, it has the opposite of the intended effect. Highly-paid Prima Donnas can destroy team cohesion.

A team of prima donnas won’t go anywhere.

The Lakers were a dumpster fire this season. LeBron dictated the personnel and how did that work out? But as the old saying goes, you can’t fire the team. So... the coach has to go.

Labrontosaurus “The Mouth” James didn’t make the playoffs? ROTFL. That’s good stuff. Maybe he needs to spend less time shooting off his big mouth about racist and politics crap and spend more time throwing the ball in the little basket.

People think a Chinese prostitute looks like a streetwalker in Shanghai but a Chinese prostitute looks exactly like Lebron James.

Vince Lombardi had two of the highest paid players in the NFL and neither was a starter.....Bratkowski and Anderson.

I get the feeling this firing of Vogel is more about playoff money than pride.

Anybody think they fired the wrong man?
