  • James Worthy Says LeBron is a Quitter If He Leaves Cleveland

    If LeBron doesn’t re-sign with the Cavs this summer, he’s a quitter. Or so says former Laker great and three-time NBA champion James Worthy.

    “My personal opinion is a lot of times when you lose and you leave, it sounds like a quitter,” the seven-time All-Star told the New York Post. “I would never want to leave without accomplishing the goal.”

    Though Worthy believes The King will ultimately decide to stay in his home state, he doesn’t think the Cavs’ supporting cast is capable of bringing him a title.

    “He’s in a position to tell the team what he wants,” Worthy said. “If they don’t give it to him, I don’t think he wants a Kevin Garnett situation where he’s there 11 years, 12 years. He’s got to ask for the same thing Larry Bird had, Magic had, he needs another Hall of Famer around. But I still see him in Cleveland.”

    And even if the Knicks were to offer James a massive contract and Chris Bosh as a sidekick, Worthy can’t see The Chosen One bolting for New York.

    “It would be tough with [the Knicks’] current team,” Worthy said. “He’d stay in Cleveland for that. The Knicks would have to make some moves. Wherever he goes, they’re going to have to make moves. He’s been in the league seven years. He’s not going to stand for status quo. Antawn Jamison is a good player, Shaq is an older veteran, but they still haven’t given him enough.

    “Larry Bird had Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Dennis Johnson and Magic had Kareem, myself, [Bob] McAdoo. I don’t think LeBron has received what he needs. Kobe got Pau [Gasol], [Ron] Artest, players that can get the job done.”

    As for LeBron’s ongoing comparison to Kobe, who’s vying for his fifth title in this year’s Finals, Worthy said that, until The King gets a ring, he can never be on the same level as Bryant.

    “Fans who go by MVP awards, they go with that,” Worthy said. “I go with the finishing product, who’s standing in June. The torch has been passed to LeBron. But I don’ think LeBron has gotten to where he needs to get to be mentioned in that [Kobe] conversation.”

        Why do ppl always say LBJ's got no help in Cleveland? Shaq is older, but still a force , Jamieson and Williams were all-stars, Varajeo? is a decent hustle guy. When they got Jamieson, everyone thought that was the last piece and they would cruise to the finals. Is it the players that arent good enough, or is it the point forward/ 1st option system they run? I think that team is as stacked as most others, so why is it always that LBJ's got no support? DWade and Shaq brought a Championship to Miami with less of a team that LBJ has now.

          Shaq was a force at eating hot dogs on the bench this season.

              I think they had the team to win it but their coach sucked.

                DWade and Shaq were much more of a force than just Lebron. Mo and Jamieson didn't do much in the playoffs, which was still more than Shaq gave them. I think their coach held them back a little bit LJ isn't good enough to win it all on his own.
