clippers have a very unattractive franchise and play in the shadow of the lake show

Enough with this shadow stuff. No players are afraid of shadows. Maybe Beasley because he's half a Special person.

Plus the Lakers are almost finished. Now would be the time to start something in LAC.

Is the shadow supposed to scare LeBron?


LeBron's ego is HUGE. He can take arguably the worst franchise in the NBA that's in the same city as the best and make them something, that won't make him a legend?

People saying "Hey that's LeBron, he got us a couple of championships and he made the worst franchise in the NBA a winner".

That wouldn't feed his ego?

overall there are atleast 3 or 4 destinations that are more attractive than LAC

and if lebron's ego is so big

then would he want to share a city with kobe?

Kobe's time is almost up. What 2 or 3 more years? And he's been banged up for a while now.

Since LBJ was knocked out of the playoffs, everyone went on to say that Kobe was still the best. James loves challenges. Im sure he would want to prove that he could take over the city that Kobe has had in the palms of his hands the past decade.

What about this pitch?

People talk about the love he will get from NY. I honestly dont see a city that loves their athletes as much as Chicago.

The Cubs still sell out more games than any team in the Majors...what more do you need?!?!!?! We love our sports, damned to eternal mediocrity, and we still support.

I drive a shuttle bus at a St. Park in Jamestown KY. Met a dude two days ago who was at the parade...it was awesome. He invited me to his boat w/ his friends for drinks after work.

sorry, off-topic.

How about, "would you rather be on Mt Rushmore with John Starks or Michael Jordan?"
