Yeah, because Lebron's teams have always had great chemistry. Not all of these guys are self absorbed jocks - maybe it is 70-80% of them but the others just put up with the crap and keep their mouth shut to not make waves!
By time these kids make it to the pros they are self absorbed. They were the best kids on their pop warner, aau teams. Best players on their hs team. And the good ones are the best ones on their college teams. They were the best on their team for the last decade. Players also realize at a young age who the best players are on their team and support them because it's best for their team if they play.

Do you think Brady would have wanted more money if he had married a school teacher and not a supermodel?
Brady is an old fart who just wants to expand his legacy. He has all the money he will ever need and his name will be forever remembered by the # of superbowls that no QB will ever match. That feeds his ego much more than 20 million!

I have no idea. But I can say if it were me I would take a cut from 35 mil to 25 mil in order to keep winning super bowls. You're still set for life, am I right? But thats just the competitor in me. I hate losing...

Brady is serving his self interest - just not financially - that is not the only way!

And unlike many pro athletes he desires winning above everything else. He commented last year or the year before that he doesn't play to make the pro bowl, he plays to make the game the following week. Many members here at CZ think that making the pro bowl is such a big deal. It isn't, and never will be as big a deal as playing in the other bowl game.

no one knows, only Brady does, maybe he likes his 9 SB appearances most, he knows all the money he earned that will support him like a king the rest of his life, maybe he has a brain and uses it and who he married really doesn't matter..
