    If Lebron is a foodie, and into the night life houston is the spot. But if you remember he did choose to go to Miami. Miami got the beaches, the weather, the lifestyle Houston lacks.

    TBH though, if at this point of his career and family matters in his decision then he definitely does not have the kobe mentaility. Yes, Family should be number 1 and it should always be number 1, but houston isnt a bad place to be. Our school district aint bad and we are extremely diverse when it comes to food, we have almost everything you want in a city except for a beach. Yes traffic sucks donkey balls but so does L.A. Houston is the only place that gives him a chance to win a ring with cp3 and now MVP James harden. Also, it is not like he is going to be here for a long time 3-4 years at most.

    Years ago when he was in NOLA CP said he liked Houston as a city. I cant remember exactly but I think it was before the cp to the lakers, Pau to Houston trade was voided.

    No, the only thing that was shot down was the notion that school officials would disclose the enrollment status of a 13 year old kid.

    He will stay in the East, so he can make the final.

    He himself played AAU ball for an Oakland team, so he likes Oakland?

    If he was enrolled or enrolling school would have just stayed silent. The fact that the commented at all seems pretty telling.

    A lot of people who live in Houston would rather live somewhere else. But, they come here for the work. They come here to further their career. Maybe Le Bron will come here for the work.

    Obviously Lebron can have his own opinions but I was under the impression people in the NBA generally liked Houston?

    Cleveland is widely recognized as a sh*thole. He played there for a decade. He can stomach River Oaks for two years.

    Sports journalist are the thirstiest for news! This is a non story! Lebron knows what he needs to do! Win the next 3 chips to balance that abysmal 3-6 record. No place can do that for him except Houston or GS. And lbj not a snake like cupcake.

    I did mention LeBron doesn’t like Clutchfans and Houston. Either the organization or city. Part in jest; but
    part in seriousness. I’ve never seen much kindness directed towards the Rockets, the city and Harden.

    Only thing I’ve seen LeBron compliment Harden was when Harden had the ridiculous triple double.
    LeBron tweeted something like “That’s insane.”.

    We will see if LeBron has disdain towards Houston eventually.....if true.

    Sweet 2. One was on his new deal which translates to mucho money for other NBA players.

    We got this in the bag then, LeBron to Houston.

    I wonder if anyone heard him say that he hates CA state income tax as well?

    Jock tax makes it less of an issue, since half the games will be taxed per other states' rules.

    I don't understand all this Houston hate. I love this city, and I missed it dearly while I lived elsewhere.

    Didn't say we had him in the bag, just refuting the idea that there is some issue between LeBron and Harden. Find a new slant :p

    Houston is heaven compared to Philly. But its tolerable because so close to NY.
