LeBron James says he's never played for a 'super team'



On July 8, 2010, LeBron James altered the NBA's landscape by announcing his decision to take his talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat as a free agent.

He played there for four seasons and won two championships alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — a three-star super team, in the eyes of most.

On July 11, 2014, James announced he was going to go back to Cleveland, where he joined forces with All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. The Cavaliers have since been to three consecutive Finals, winning one.

But after the Cavs were dethroned as NBA champions by the league's newest super team of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on Monday night, James gave an interesting take on his past super team involvement — or lack thereof.

LeBron: “I don’t believe I’ve played for a superteam. I don’t believe in that.”

"I don't believe I've played for a super team. I don't believe in that," James said. "I don't believe we're a super team here (in Cleveland)."

Last week, James defended Durant's decision to join the Warriors, saying he doesn't care if it's fair or not and that he would "try to sign everybody" if he were an owner.

"I think it's great," said James. "It's great for our league. Right now, look at our TV ratings, look at the money our league is pouring in. I mean, guys are loving the game, our fans love the game. Who am I to say if it's fair or not?”

"ANNIVERSARY DE SOPRANOS", TVs MOST HEART MELTING DEMISE EXPLAINED.

"Long Term Parking." For fans of The Sopranos, the banal airport sign remains a haunting callback more than a decade after the episode of the same name originally aired. In the fifth season’s 12th episode, viewers witnessed the tragic end to Adriana La Cerva (Drea de Matteo) in a gripping sequence, logical yet shocking, that generated maximum suspense and heartbreak. Adriana had long stuck by her addict fiancĂ© Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) out of some uncertain mixture of love, loyalty, and mob life materialism. Then came "Long Term Parking" on May 23, 2004, which not only gave Adriana the series’ most tragic ending but cast the show’s anti-hero, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), into a darker shadow that never dissipated. For the 10-year anniversary of the show’s finale, EW spoke to Sopranos creator David Chase, star Drea de Matteo, writer Terence Winter and director Tim Van Patten reveal how that long drive into the woods really went down... ...

43 shot in Chicago, 6 of them fatally, on warmest weekend of the year

Police work the scene where two people were shot on the Chicago Riverwalk near the Dearborn Street Bridge Sunday, June 11, 2017 in Chicago. At least six people were fatally shot and 37 others were wounded in Chicago over the weekend in attacks that included two rifle homicides in Back of the Yards, nine people shot in a single incident in Lawndale and double shootings on the Riverwalk and at 31st Street Beach. The violence, on the warmest weekend of the year, brought the number of homicides in Chicago this year to at least 275 -- nine fewer than last year but substantially higher than in other years going back to 2013, according to data kept by the Tribune. At least 1,520 people have been shot in the city this year, down 150 from the last year.  But again, this year's tally is higher than at this time in 2015, 2014 and 2013.  Last year was the most violent in Chicago in two decades. This past weekend included two fatal shootings by rifle fire within 24 hours of eac...
