Chicago Bulls

Well, this one is pretty self explanatory. First, you start off with LeBron joining forces with the Chicago enigma that is Derrick Rose, which is already enough fuel on the fire to have people burning. But, yes, this move would bring out ALL of those Jordan comparisons that we just oh so love to hear on a regular basis.

What might be the most interesting of this teaming, though, would be the reaction of Bulls fans. With some time left in his career, LeBron needs just four more rings to tie Jordan, which is completely plausible. How would Chicago fans feel about the man that they hate so much at the moment…trying to tie their god-like hero…but winning those titles for their franchise at the same time. That’s a sticky situation right there, but an entertaining one at that.

This one might be the most unlikely, though, just because LeBron is way too smart to put all of that on his shoulders and try to keep building his legacy in the same city as the man that he’s compared to by people in their sleep.
