What you leave behind:

“The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.”
-Benjamin Disareli

Any man can tell you that it doesn’t matter how much you accomplished or how great you thought you were if no one remembers you when you’re gone, or, if they remember you for the wrong thing.
That being said I don’t think James should leave Cleveland. If he leaves the Cavs he’ll look like a sucker in my opinion.
Right now he’s like the little engine that could, he could do so many things but he still hasn’t gotten over that hill, he has to keep chugging till he makes it
I don’t peg him as a quitter but I found it interesting that KG who languished in Minnesota for 12 years (1995-2007) during which time he accrued an MVP (04) 8 All-Star selections, 3 All NBA 1st teams selections, All Star MVP, 5 All Defensive First team etc, etc. Said that James might not get “his” until he leaves Cleveland, I guess KG knows what he’s talking about.

Nuff of that….

Speaking of legacies, everyone or most everyone knows who Elvis , The Stones, Eric Clapton and Michael Jackson are. Hell everyone knows who Stevie Wonder is and even Dolly Parton. I’m wondering who from our generation will be remembered and listened to like that in 10-20 years???
The Backstreet boys sold 130 million albums worldwide but they ain’t around no more and their tracks aren’t played on radio either
The Spice Girls who BBC said is the best selling girl band of all time. Sold 75 million albums but where the hell are they now? No one listens to their music anymore
Same thing with N’Sync, JT doing his thing now but will be end up in same league as Steve or Marvin Gaye
What about some of the rappers will people be listening to Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, Kanye, Ti, Lil Wayne or Soulja Boy years from now.
Biggie might get away with it seeing some of his legacy is already written with the East Coast West Coast beef and him getting shot.
Pac on the other hand has put out 6 albums since he died and there is one more album in the works
Whaddaya think?
