Charles Barkley was critical of LeBron's decision to sign with the Lakers too: “I look at it strictly as a business decision. He’s on the downside of his career. He wants to be a big Hollywood mogul. ... They’re a 5 or 6 seed in a best-case scenario.”
>“I was hoping [James] would stay in Cleveland,” Barkley told The Crossover in a telephone interview on Friday. “I look at [the move to L.A.] strictly as a business decision. He’s on the downside of his career. He wants to be a big Hollywood mogul. He’s going to be driving by the beach every day instead of going through the snow. … [The Lakers] are not even close to a top-tier team. They’re a 5 or 6 seed in a best-case scenario.” Source
Charles Barkley recently criticized LeBron for signing with the Sixers, saying he is "always stacking" his teams, and that it is "the same criticism I've always had".

New WOWY RAPM from DARKO creator provides scoreboard based estimates of player impact going back all the way to 1980. Estimates for players such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson are included
Most popular impact metrics are limited to the play-by-play era due to their reliance on plus-minus to capture a player’s non-boxscore value. However, with the use of WOWY (With or Without You), a stat that looks at the final score margin for a team in games a player played compared to games that player missed, it is possible to go back beyond 1997.
