Mo Williams Nearly Quit Basketball After LeBron Left

Glad to see Tarzan Cooper.
Still wondering if he’s totalscrotalimplosion.

The Philosopher: I have such a Jew Fro, it’s not even funny bro.
NBK, you still don’t get it. Mo is set for life. He doesn’t have to play sports. He can retire whenever he wants. If you have 40 million dollars, and your work no longer becomes fun, are you going to keep working?

Like that guy off ‘BEERFEST’ Jukai?

Jukai I get it. I understand completely his thought process. I don’t however understand throwing yourself a pity party, a national one at that. But really how does he know it’s not fun? And why didn’t he quit when he signed with milwaukee if winning Is what matters he had no shot He’s is either stupid or lying, and everyone feeling sympathy for him is ridiculous. You honestly believe he thought lebron was staying and went through a bout of depression when he found out he wasn’t?

nbk doesnt get it. The contract he had is from Milwaukee. He was traded. And people HE DIDNT QUIT. he said he ALMOST did. what’s so hard about understanding that?

J if I didn’t understand his contract why would I repeatedly say why did Williams sign with MILWAUKEE if he cared about winning? And I didn’t say he quit. The fact that nothing changed is why this is stupid. There was no need for this. Do you tell everyone you know about the last time you were upset? The last time you thought about quitting your job did you tell your boss? How about your friends family and total strangers?

Zabba wins

im waiting for mo to become the star and lead the CAvs to championships

Nbk. and why are we holding it against him just because he stated his feelings on national media? So what he did was a p**sy move because you yourself won’t do that if you were put in the same position? Don’t punish him by your standards.

It’s whatever you want to call it because it’s unnecessary. Unless he’s planning on using it as an excuse in the future. Then it’s what you wanna call it because he’s using an excuse instead of just man ing up. The Cleveland supporting cast has been overrated since 07 and it supposedly was “much improved” since then. And the fact that they actually suck will probably be a huge side story throughout the season. And all that negative press (mo is not an idiot he knows it’s coming) can now be deflected to the fact that he has “lost a lot of love for the game” and is/was so upset about Lebron leaving.

I would have 100% at the time said Milwaukee as built has no shot whatsoever at contending for anything. And guess what? The milwaukee front office would agree with that sentiment. Hence them rebuilding.

No they didn’t. What purpose is their to lie? especially on a slam message board? I am honest about my opinion, i’m not worried about admitting when i’m wrong or telling the truth. For instance I thought Cleveland had a legitimate chance of getting to the finals against LA after they got Antawn Jamison. I also said at the time they would have been better off going after Troy Murphy but too late. And the reason at the time, now, and in the future I will say a team like that 2007 Milwaukee squad, Horrible defensive teams never have a shot at anything in the playoffs. Please stop being Like the typical average basketball fan judging a teams chances at success purely by a teams offensive talent.

GO SEE CHRIS DOUGLAS ROBERTS TWITTER FEED…LOL

wow, this is still going on? you know what mo’s close friends are telling him right now? “man up and stop talking like a punk, you’re not on dude’s radar so why don’t you keep moving?” this is also about pride. he obviously thought there was more to their relationship than basketball and bron obviously thought otherwise since they bumped into eachother randomly more than a month after the decision. bron had time for cp3, had time for melo’s wedding, had time to recruit big Z, had time to try to get d-fish, had time for GQ… but no time to call mo. dawg. keep. it. moving. this is not a good look. and nba guys are starting to clown you.

i’m not Nbk, i’m just sayin that they’re in the right path to being a very good playoff team. they got good starting blocks back then and who knows which player they couldve added to boost defense and overall improvement? you get it right that they didnt pan out well, but you could be so wrong if they did. Just like what you thought of cleveland, you got it wrong. Its just always either way, win or not.

Do you not understand the dynamic of playing in a city like Milwaukee? No player wants to live in Wisconsin (no star player especially). Plus the lower attendance and times on national television drastically deplete their revenue stream. Means you don’t have as much money if any to take chances with. And that’s not assuming (given we are back in 2007) that giving Michael redd a 13 million dollar a year contract wasn’t a horrid decision

Cavs should be thankful that thorns have roses. This is a chance for Mo Williams to be a star, for Jamison to prove he’s more than a fluke, for Hickson to be an Amar’e type player.

Nbk. Wow you bringing up a point that because Milwaukee suck as a city and finances are low, success would be dreaming of the moon for them? stop posting.

Lol, @ Enigmatic.. Eboy vs. Myles is untouchable.. Their’s are beyond basketball.. I’m not in that level of versus with Nbk..haha.

Just check how many small market teams have won a title in NBA history…and then check how many were built around offense….Milwaukee is one of them, and don’t try comparing the two. I am not saying its impossible, well actually if your trying to do it with that team from 2007 it is….but it sure as he!! is a stacked deck. And if Mo Williams cared about winning more then money don’t you think he would have taken a little less money from Miami in 2007 instead of the ludicrous contract he signed for the paltry Bucks.

@J – Yeah, no doubt. I can’t talk trash like them on here yet either!

milwaukee offered more. and imho he believed they’re going to be a very good team in the future so.. And lets not forget that he’s very loyal too. Don’t misinterpret me, i only said that they have a very good building blocks to start. They are in the right path though with a lot of holes. It didnt pan out. They werent able to continue that due to a lot of things.

Milwuakee offered more money..PERIOD – don’t say he believed he was getting into a winning situation. his loyalty is without question but its blind loyalty. Someday he and maybe you will realize that basketball is about winning more then it is about your friends and struggling through being unhappy even if it means you make 10% more money. As BK said there was no benefit in sight in staying with cleveland for lebron (because money is not whats most important). But to Mo money is whats most important so he stayed in milwaukee. I mean damn Miami tried hard to get him, Pat Riley was very public about it, and they won a TITLE that upcoming season. Its a joke that your even defending what he said, his peers don’t even respect him. He openly contemplated just giving up…..would you say that to your 8 year old kid who contemplated quitting the sport they loved because their best friend when to a new team with cooler jerseys and better players?

won a title that previous* season. sorry i was blindly typing

And who am i (or we) to judge him overall based on this thing? He might have done better things in life than we did, so to typecast him by just one manner is unfair. I bet he dealt things worst in his life than us. And if he played poor next season, would we conclude that is because he doesnt have the heart or he’s weak? Maybe lets try to think he doesnt have the talent and skill, rather than question his desire.
