Is LeBron really gonna go to Portland?<br /><br />New York makes the most sense because its the biggest market and he'll have plenty of time to win a title. Remember hes only 24 and he think about how much credit he'll get if he helps bring a title. He'll be like Jeter, only 100 times bigger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-19968049916469320762009-11-09T17:00:07.090-05:002009-11-09T17:00:07.090-05:00The guy above posted exactly what i was going to s...The guy above posted exactly what i was going to say.

Just like Cleveland, Edmonton was a small market and it appeared that Gretzky outgrown it. Both players were in their absolute primes and if LeBron goes to New York, he will have the same type team that Gretzky had in Los Angeles (in other words, awful).<br /><br /><br />The one difference and it's major, Wayne Gretzky goes into LA as the unquestioned best player of the NHL with four Stanley Cups to back that up. LeBron if he goes to New York would likely be still in debate on being the best player and probably comes without any titles. Celebrity is all well and good, but without any championships, LeBron will be hurt in terms of legacy and personally, I think that's more important.<br /><br /><br />While Gretzky didn't win in LA, he at the very least did what Beckham could never do and make his sports important in a town that doesn't care about it if for only a short period. LeBron can't do that since basketball would be back if there's a winner at MSG. Also, it's not impossible to enjoy fame when playing for small markets. Ken Griffey Jr. for example was just as famous as any baseball player in the 90s and he played in Seattle. LeBron really could be a celebrity anywhere, but the fact is he should go to wherever he can win a title and validate that celebrity and as currently constructed, neither the Knicks or Nets do that.The Cyclehttp://thecyclesportsblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
