I think it's true that Boston makes the most sense for Bron ...
At the same time, it also seems like Boston is the last place Bron ever wants to play for. Boston has always been the team in his way, the city that boos him, a city with a racist reputation, etc.
With that said, LeBron may ultimately care more about trying to win more titles rather than what uniform he puts on.
I have to say I'm conflicted.
I've been saying over and over -- Kyrie, Jaylen, Hayward, Tatum, Horford. That's all I want next year. I want to see what that team can do.
But, if you add LeBron to the mix -- maybe that means Kyrie has to go, or Hayward, or maybe we trade Jaylen, I dunno, just as long as Tatum stays put -- that ups the ante even further.
LeBron plus our young guys and Horford ... that team could seriously compete for titles, even against the Warriors, for the next 3-4 years. Heck, the way LeBron looks right now, he could be an All-NBA caliber player for another 5 or 6 years. Especially if he finally gets some help and doesn't have to carry a burden akin to Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders.
Still, it's so hard to imagine LeBron wanting to play in Boston.
I also hate the idea of the Celtics turning into another franchise that revolves around LeBron. A franchise whose culture is determined by LeBron. Marketing, all about LeBron. And so on.
I would only be OK with Bron on the team if he is willing to be a part of the team as opposed to BEING THE TEAM.
The Celts have built something really great from top to bottom. If LeBron is willing and capable of joining that without sabotaging that organizational culture in favor of how he's done things in Cleveland, then I can get on board with it.
I have to say, the idea of what it would look like if LeBron bought into a Brad Stevens style system, surrounded by the players the Celts have on their roster, is really tantalizing. I'm just not sure it's possible. Bron has never really been part of a system.
p.s. the Celtics are TOTALLY Vegeta in your example. Always fighting, always striving, always wanting to believe we're better, but always, in the end, losing to Goku, because Goku is THE guy.
