I think him having played with KG for so many years may have an impact on his decision.
But I think a bigger factor also ways in when these guys are making a decision, especially if they are wanting a shot at a ring....
As incredible as LeBron is and/or as deep as the Lakers may seem...when push comes to shove, the chips are on the table and you have to decide who to place the bet on..are you really going to bet against KG, Pierce, Ray, Rondo and Perkins over the Cavs or Lakers?
The cream rises to the top. Kobe and LeBron are sick talents. Gasol is very good, Cleveland has more depth this year, Bynum will be back..
But there's more cream in Boston and I wouldn't watn to meet it in a dark alley.
Every one of those starters are tough as nails in their own way. mentally and physically. If they're healthy, they win another title, homecourt advantage or not.
If Joe Smith and Marbury come on board, it will just be "more over".
