Lebron James is a division rival and he's the only player that the Bulls have no answer for. This year, the Bulls added a number of players that were long and athletic for the purpose of dealing with Lebron James in the Central Division. This defensive upgrade proved effective against players like Wade and Bryant, but was just swiss cheese for James. All of this adds up to a Michael Jordan from an alternate reality where he joined the Cavs and kills the BUlls (instead of vice versa).Why I Cheer for Lebron
For the first time since 1998, a player reminds me of Michael Jordan. Though he doesn't have the consistency yet, the talent is there and the personality is there. It's just hard not to like this guy as a player and human being. So in that sense, I'd like to see him win a championship and get a Finals MVP.
Why I Want Lebron to Lose
In a dream scenario, James has a great season playing for a bad team. He either doesn't make the playoffs or gets eliminated early. This continues to happen for 2 more seasons. He feels disappointed as his contract comes to completion. The Bulls sign him up without dealing away talent in a blockbuster trade. James, Hinrich, Gordon, Deng and Wallace start the next Bull's Dynasty.
