"You can’t pay me 3 million dollars to stay in Boston. I don’t care that any of the fans in Boston cared about me, because I have felt absolutely no connection to this community over the past five years. I place no value on retiring as a member of the most prestigious franchise in the history of the sport because I am a golf-obsessed egomaniac who is willing to be a bitch for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade entirely to stick it to the men who helped me become an NBA champion after toiling away on mediocre teams for my entire career. I hate Danny Ainge, I hate Doc Rivers, I hate Rajon Rondo. I also am a moron who accidentally sent a pornographic tweet to all my followers and then stopped using Twitter without deleting my account."

So Bron Bron finally finished dumping on Cleveland’s chest and got his ring.  Seriously tho, got me thinking about where he ranks all-time on the “greatest NBA players of all time list.” For reference, the Bible (AKA Simmons’ Book of Basketball) has this top 20 as of the end of the 2010 season (players active at end of 2012 in bold).

  1. Michael Jordan
  2. Bill Russell
  3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
  4. Magic Johnson
  5. Larry Bird
  6. Wilt Chamberlain
  7. Tim Duncan
  8. Kobe Bryant
  9. Jerry West
  10. Oscar Robertson
  11. Hakeem Olajuwon
  12. Shaquille O’Neal
  13. Moses Malone (cut-off for “the Pantheon”)
  14. John Havlicek
  15. Elgin Baylor
  16. Julius Erving
  17. Bob Pettit
  18. Karl Malone
  19. Charles Barkley
  20. LeBron Jam
Now after the Mavs beat the Heat last year, Simmons went on record saying Dirk was one of the 20 best ever, ironically pushing LeBron out (unless Bron’s ‘11 season was good enough to leap him over Chuck? IDK).  But now, with the last gaping hole on his resume filled, he’s gotta go way up (kind of like how Kobe jumped from 15 to 8 after winning back-to-back titles with LA in ‘09 and ‘10). 
Bron Bron is a 3-time MVP, champion at age 27, and basically the most unstoppable basketball force the league has seen since Shaq in his prime.  He played one of the best postseasons of all time, got his Finals MVP, and was the undisputed best player on a champion.  If he retired today you’d still have to at the very minimum put him right behind Havlicek, although he’s probably fighting with Moses with that 13 spot as much as it pains me to say.  If he sustains this level of play through age 30 (and why wouldn’t he?) I think you gotta shoot him past Shaq and Hakeem and if he wins another ring by the big 3-0 or sooner, he’s got a good case to go over Kobe.  
Realistically I think his ceiling is topping Tim Duncan by the time he retires, but who knows.  The Heat could make the next three Finals, LeBron probably wins an MVP and finishes in the top 2 or 3 every year (and deserves it), and even if they win only 1 or 2 rings, and suddenly he’s better than Magic.  I will say that it’s probably impossible to top Kareem, and that there is absolutely positively no way in Hell that he could ever be better than Bill Russell or Michael Jordan.  
As for Dwyane Wade fuck that guy this ring hurts his legacy cause he played like shit and they won anyway.

To celebrate that Shane Battier airball, here is a picture of him getting blown away by a fellow Douche Blue Devil.  Who’s white and JJ Redick.  
Sidenote: I’m pretty sure Shane Battier went to the Heat because it’s the only team where he’s only the third biggest douche.

If you’re rooting for the Miami Heat tonight, you’ve probably never been doubted, criticized or told you weren’t good enough.  You’ve probably had someone present you with an easy way out of a tough situation, instead of working your way through it.  You’ve probably never understood the difference between a group of individuals and a team. 
And tonight, you’re probably going to lose.

Sports Illustrated has an article claiming that the Celtics “are offering point guard Rajon Rondo, forward Jeff Green, and two future first-round draft picks for New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul” and that Paul will not be on the hook for more than next season, giving him the opportunity to leave if he so chooses. However, the Celtics hope Paul could possibly entice Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard to the team following next season, according to the report.” 
I realize this is unlikely to happen, but just imagine this scenario: CP3 (who will need a new number because both 3 and 33 are retired for the C’s) hooks up with the Big 3 and leads them to one last title, including an absolute ass-whooping in the Eastern Conference Finals clincher in Miami, causing Chris Bosh to have a nervous breakdown and run screaming into the night never to be seen again, and LeBron James once again choking like a Mexican hooker on a donkey’s dick (Wade will, as always, look like he doesn’t give a fuck).  THEN, KG and Allen retire, leading the way for CP3 and Pierce to team up with DWIGHT HOWARD to form an even greater Big 3 and collectively jam their cocks down LeBron James’ throat until he retires.  
Also, we still don’t know where Chris Bosh is.
