Kwame Brown has figured out the plan for the NBA. It includes LeBron James being a focal point for NBA history.
Whenever there’s a debate of who’s the best, there are three names that are always at the forefront: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. A former NBA player thinks the league is going to push for James to be above a certain Los Angeles legend.
Kwame Brown was on the DreamersPro Show and discussed how the association is going to use Philadelphia 76ers superstar to help create this infamous narrative.
“I think they’re going to try to push LeBron, to give him the biggest chance possible to win a championship.” Brown detailed. “They want to have enough to edge him out over Kobe.”
This is quite the theory by Brown. There is no validity to this beyond speculation. If we’re basing it off the scheduling, it’s not going to matter whether he wins one or not. Also, James made the choice to come to Philadelphia because of what he would have around him. If James seriously wanted to take an easy route to a championship, he would join a team like the Oklahoma City Thunder.
If there is a chance of the 76ers winning a title, it’s because they put in the hard work and made the necessary moves to succeed. If star wing forward Jaylen Brown has a career year and James is carried to a title, would the argument still stand? It’s highly unlikely because what would a championship change for anyone in this argument?
Even still, at this point in James' life a championship may not be the biggest thing on his mind. He wants to help grow the game. The man has done so much for the game; it has to be rewarding to be a part of a team that doesn’t need him to win games. Kwame is grasping at straws for insinuating that an entire organization can rig a whole season for one player. When James was in Los Angeles, that narrative could make more sense because there’s more money coming out of the city of angels.
Philadelphia is a team made for winning. Not to chase a vendetta that benefits the legacy of the NBA. The televised games are for the fans' benefit as well. You could be seeing the last of James in an NBA jersey, so why not maximize that chance by putting the 76ers on TV as much as possible? Philadelphia is on the road to a championship, and fallacies like the one Brown made are meant to derail a superstar team like Philadelphia.
