“Greatest basketball trio ever”?

Even granting these fools another 5-8 years of their prime:

Is Wade’s resume going to eclipse Worthy’s? Might get close…but he’s got some work to do.

Pretty hard to picture LeBron catching up to Magic’s body of work.

That leaves Bosh vs. Kareem. Uhh….

exhelodrvr, Point taken, but Bynum’s injuries have been more of the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than chronic like Yao’s foot. Bynum is a legitimate 7 feet and 285, has a soft touch, great footwork, and is a defensive force. Bosh is a very good player, but he’s soft on defense and I’ll bet if Lamar Odom was on the Raptors as their best player and focal point, his numbers would be comparable for half the salary. Just sayin.

It’s funny, its sharp, it’s clever, and when it wants too will tug on your heart strings. It’s everything a great family film should be

Wow, checked out the Kurz link @47, he has some ability. Good bench guy. May be intriguing to watch him, Green, Jabber during the summer league.

I hope LeBron does team up w/ Bosh & Wade. Reminds me of when Chamberlain teamed up with West & Baylor on the Lakers in an attempt to dethrone the Celtic dynasty of the late ’60′s. Problem is they failed, just like Miami will this upcoming season.

One thing I do know: if LeBron, Wade & Bosh are on the same team, then the primetime Christmas game on ABC will be the Bak2Bak World Champion L. A. Lakers vs. the traveling All Stars of the Miami Heat in L. A. Couldn’t be scripted any better.

I’m home sick from work today, which sucks, but it is giving me lots of time to read all the sports coverage of the NBA Free Agent Reality-TV show… and it’s entertaining me. Seeing all this bile and vitriol spewed over the man who used to be the young god of all sports media, lauded and praised every time he touched a basketball no matter what he did with it, cheers me up.

I can’t say I’m surprised either. When a man schedules a full hour on ESPN prime time to talk about and promote yourself, less than months after the worst play-off performance of his career, he invites open mockery and he deserves it. This whole charade is a text-book list of how to do everything wrong from a PR standpoint.

Every new column I read reminds me of how much I appreciate that our own super-star has his priorities in order. He wants to win games and he wants to win rings, and doesn’t waste time and energy on “promoting his brand”.

(That’s by the way one of the reasons the Thunder are going to become a very scary team going forward: Kevin Durant has the same priorities, and that team goes where he leads them. Durant will win rings too, it’s just a matter of time.)

It was on his radio show, which can be streamed here I believe…
