I'd root against that (bleep) if he was on the Lakers. It's much easier to root against him when he's in Cleveland. _________________ Jeffs
I feel like I just watched someone TRULY give 100%. Not the BS I'm-gonna-give-a-110%-just-like-everyone-else-says platitudes, but someone that went until he just....broke. - GT
I suppose in this LeBron-team-jumping-era, there is no loyalty to teams anymore. Shame. Guys like Kobe and Duncan are rare. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts!
Looks like a great team on paper but I think Miller/Allen's age and Kyrie's injury prone-ness catches up with them. I'll be rooting against them, that's for sure.

I don't get that either.
What is exactly is a "team"? Is it your teammates? If so, does that mean your loyalty ends when teammates are traded?
Is it the team owner? If so, does your loyalty end if he sells the team?
Is it the jersey? Does that mean your loyalty ends if the laundry ruins all the jerseys?
Frankly, I don't think there is loyalty in sports. There is just mutual self interest. I don't think Duncan and Kobe are any more "loyal" than other guys who switched teams -- they were simply in situations where it didn't make sense for them to leave.
Loyalty, to me, is simply a conceit of fans who want to think the players care about them,

I agree with you although I get what they are saying its nice to see a player stay with a team.
Very few players stay with the same team from beginning to end and its great to appreciate something so rare.

Personally, I think it's mostly luck
It only happens nowadays when a great player is lucky enough to drafted onto an already-strong team so he wins a ring very early in his career, bonding him to the team and erasing his need to seek out a ring elsewhere.
And then throughout his career things break just right so he sticks around.
When I was younger, I thought it was kind of cool. Now I am pretty indifferent to it. For example, I don't think Hakeem's career was lessened by his last unfortunate year in Canada.

It was lessened trust me, lessened so much most people have erased it from their memory, it was sad to watch. _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

I disagree with you. I don't think Hakeem is looked at any differently by people because of his one year in Toronto. people haven't erased it from their memory because it was painful. They don't remember because, frankly, people just don't remember the trivial details of players careers.virtually no one remembers, or cares, that wilt chamberlains career ended because he left the Lakers to go play in the ABA and then the Lakers sued him to prevent him from playing. virtually no one remembers, or rates, magic because of his aborted come back.lots of players have ended their career like that, but people only remember or care about the high points
