I can't deny it - every team LeBron goes to and then leaves is decimated for years after, usually by the selfish player decisions he insists upon. Imagine Cleveland saddled with that Love contract for years to come.
Only LeBron as the so called GOAT for some could see this year's NBA finals receive the worst TV ratings for the league's finals in the history of the league - every game, worst ever. This years close out game barely received a third of the viewing audience that last year's close out game received, and remember, last year's close out game included the Toronto Raptors, a Canadian based team, and America's viewing public pretty much hates watching anything involving a Canadian based team.
Much as you guys and many in the media seem to worship LeBron, many average people can't stand the man and his personality - a very dislikeable person. No wonder pretty much no other teams and players in the bubble wanted to follow his lead in closing down the season for Black Lives Matter even though every team in one way or another supported the cause. Following LeBron is not an option for most people.
People can hate a GOAT because he's too good but you can't be a GOAT if people just hate you as a person and tune you out. Can't wait for some fool to give LeBron an acting role in a movie and watch that movie implode, straight to viideo.
You do realize every team Jordan has gone to, as a player and executive/owner, he has decimated for years after?
The thing about great players with strong opinions, they are either loved or hated. LeBron James is in the same category as the Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, New England Patriots, etc..
He is a power brand and you can get used to him, even after he retires.
We are talking about a future billionaire that will exceed Jordan in net worth.
