LeBron: NBA Is Better When Classic Teams Are Good

[valtmac51]

"I've thought about playing everywhere,” James said prior to Thursday’s loss against Chicago. “At one point in my life, I've thought about playing every team in the NBA."
When asked what he might tell the New York media before Friday’s game, James said: "There will be a lot of intensity, the fact that we only play there once. July 1 is right around the corner, so it will be exciting. I'm looking forward to winning an NBA championship here. It is going to be a long season and I can't think about what is going to happen July 1 or after that or what I'm going to do. We'll see what happens, I've never given any indication I'll leave Cleveland or be somewhere else. It doesn't matter where I'll be, I'm good enough to help a team win basketball games.”
James did admit that the league would be better off if the Knicks were a contending team.
"You look at history. It is like the Yankees. The big time franchises that have a lot of history, it is hard for the fans to look at what they've been looking at the last few years,” he said. “Because they know the history of what has gone into the Garden. So I can understand that as a fan and I know because I know the history of the game. I think the league is doing just fine, but with the Knicks being good, the Celtics being good, the Lakers being good, it makes the league that much better. I'm talking as a fan now, please understand.”

It's funny how lebron has to find the exact right words to say to make it look like he can't decide whether he's gonna stay in Cleveland or move.

I completely agree with him.. it always is a good thing for classic teams to be good. I'm sure he's going to be asked the question "Where do you see yourself being this offseason.. blah blah blah" alot before tonights game.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the Cavs lost tonight to the Knicks and that would end up being the deciding factor for LeBron to come to NY.. lol. (I'm talking out of my ass, so all you cleveland fans don't catch feelings)

With SHAQ now on their team. A serious and motivated Knick team could beat CAVS 3 out of 5 times.

If Lebron doesnt have a HUGE game and the Knicks play serious for more than 1 quarter, I dont see how the CAVS can win.

And if they lose tonight Lebron is gonna be leaning to NY alot more.
