He's had Shaq, Gasol, Bynum, now Howard.. Not to mention Nash, the best point guard of the past decade.
I'm no Bulls fan either, I just have admiration for MJ. Gotta show some 'spect.

In a league where the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls have the majority of NBA championships I get annoyed everytime I hear someone make a comment about "Superteams" taking over the NBA. I understand that there are alot of new fans to the NBA that have zero clue about the history of the sport but the Media, mainly ESPN keeps adding fuel to the fire on this subject. The NBA has always been run by "Superteams" and the Small market vs Big market crap is bullshit as well. To this day the Miami Heat are a small market team but they're run better than most. Just ask Mickie about how much he makes on his T.V deal compared to the Knicks.... Hint: Heat $20M vs Knicks $120M per year. Yeah the League has always been unbalanced, it's all about your FO.
On another note, D12 to L.A? Best of all they kept Pau, someone should get the Knicks on the phone and tell them to take notes on how to run a franchise that seriously wants to build a championship contender without blowing their load on a overrated, overpaid wanna be elite player :cough: Melo :cough: Looks like we will finally have a Kobe vs Lebron NBA finals, 5 years to late but it will be good for the game. Too bad the Heat and Lakers can only play 2 games against one another during the season. Those games are sure to break records. The Thunder just lost their free pass to the finals.
Hey Phlip looks like those 3 bandwagon Thunder fans from the finals will be hictching a ride to the Lakers bandwagon come June. Better get your shotgun ready for them
