Now that would objectively make about as much sense. There are at least seven better NBA players in its history who have inarguably been better than LeBron (super-centers are ALWAYS able to contribute more in defense and rebounding): (1) Wilt Chamberlain, who won whenever he had a team behind him, and was truly unstoppable in his youth; (2) Bill Russell, winner of 11, count 'em, 11 NBA championships, and the true "king;" (3) Kareem Abdul Jabbar; (4) Shaquille O'Neil (the closest thing to Chamberlain there has ever been; (5) Michael Jordan; (6) Magic Johnson; and (7) one of Boston's three Gods, Larry Bird.
Sure, people have every right to waste their money any way they please, but I'm sorry, $tupid is $tupid! The so-called, self-proclaimed "legends" of today will fade, and pale in comparison to those icons who have lasted the test of time. Ten years from now LeBron will blend right into lesser players, while Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Williams, Wagner, Jackson, Hornsby, etc. will never do so in our lifetimes!
Sorry, but I find this purchase offends me when I think of the many much better cards I could have bought with that sum. This transaction is best summed up as tragic!
But to each his own,
Larry
