What's Worse?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Lebron not publicly complaining about wanting to leave Cleveland, then holding a TV show in which he chooses Miami......


or


Howard publicly complaining, opting in to his contract, publicly complaining more, trying to opt out of his opt in, and demanding a trade to a team with crappy trade pieces?

 

[Brown Notes]

The thing about LeBron is Cleveland is his home town. If Dwight was doing this to Atlanta then yea, worse.

Also Clevelanders already were starting to hate LeBron for checking out of late playoff series 2 years in a row. It's really hard for fans to hero worship on a guy that quits. That being said, I should again give the guy credit for an all-time playoff performance this year. As far as appreciating him as a player to me he's pretty much redeemed.

I still say Howard's is worse. I mean, Lebron became a FA and chose were he wanted to go.

Dwight is still under contract and is trying to choose were he wants to go, when he wants to go. I just find that disgusting. If you wanted to be traded, ask for it quietly and don't cause a scene.

I think they're both bitches. The only thing I don't understand about Howard is it seems nobody's willing to call him on it.

Umm you forgot Dwight also got them to fire a good coach. LeBron didn't do that

The only thing bad about what Lebron did, was the spectacle on TV.

Howard, Melo, and CP3 are all worse. There's a big difference between players who honor their contracts, and the POSs that sign for big money, and then cry like little bitches because they just wanted the money, but don't want to follow through with their part of the deal.

Howard. Definitely. Bigget douche in the entertainment industry. Unless you count VinylDung who's a bitch for the CW.

What LeBron did doesent hold a candle to what Dwight did. People are still looking for anything against the most scrutinized player in the history of the game.

This is like asking... what's worse an ingrown toenail or an ingrown hair?

Good point.
I guess LBJ gave the impression Cleveland still had a shot at re-signing him. So the Cavs held out hope and got nothing in return. At least the Magic KNOW they have to trade Howard and will get some value back.

As a corollary, shouldn't we also include a player who openly defied a HOF coach, stopped running the plays that were called and basically quit on his teammates, even calling a rookie out in game who forgot a play. On the positive side, he never demanded a trade. But it sure was nice to see his "shock" when he learned about it via ESPN.

Ingrown hair. The toenail hurts right away and after having it removed, you can hide the evidence. A hair takes awhile and is really ugly if it happens to be on your face. You have that ugly bump and redness for days. And trying to remove it too early sometimes makes the mark even worse.

No, not at all.
