Where is the loyalty?

[Lucky17]

Ah yes, the good old days where there were such loyal players as Wilt, Kareem, Oscar Robertson, Jordan, Barkley, Erving, Wilkins and countless others played on only one team in their entire careers.

I see what you did there.

Remember back when Bill Russell, Jerry West, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, David Robinson, Reggie Miller, and now Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan and even Kobe Bryant played on the same team their whole career? All hall of fame players and soon to be in the HOF that won rings except for Stockton and Miller. They could have left and went ring chasing with another team. But, they chose to stay with the same team and retire.

I respect all these players even Kobe Bryant for not taking the route LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and soon to be Dwight Howard took. These players I can NOT respect for they all requested trades to other teams. That's the ultimate way to quit on your team and cry about not winning. Do you think Stockton and Miller wanted to win a ring? Of course they did, but they thought being loyal to their team was more important. Now Ray Allen already went from Bucks to Sonics and Celtics to Heat. Still it's a great example of why today the NBA is not about loyalty, it's a shame.

good point, but Malone did go to the Lakers for a year :-p

I was huge Malone fan , UNTIL he went to the dark side and signed with the Fakers.....    

I was't right for years after that happened.   The team he BATTLED year in and year out ...he joined..... arrrrrggg
