    That was pretty good. I find it funny that people say just "get over it" as most people still view Scottie Pippen/Carlos Beltran as enemies on this website...

    Dont call in death threats to the guy but if the fans want to burn his jersey,make youtube clips thats okay with me...nothing wrong with that....

    Amazing!!! :cool:

    Great job doing this.

    this should be instead of the real commercial, or after.

    haha two liars on the heat team:

    Bosh: "I want to be the centerpiece"

    Lebron: "Bring a championship to cleveland, and I wont stop till I get it"

    So should Landry and Ariza make a video about us? We clearly quit on them, and broke promises.

    It's laughable that we label free agents quitters but give our teams a pass for ending a relationship. Our beloved Rockets even traded Dream when we were done with him.

    hey hey, i didnt quit on either of them, i just think that

    j.hill + two 2 n.y picks + jeffries + Kevin Martin > Landry

    and

    i never wanted to get rid of ariza in the first place. i think ariza was part going to be a main piece to this puzzle, he was suppose to be a role player, like he is with the hornets, and how he was with the lakers, its sad that morey didnt even let him play with yao, and didnt give him a chance to play as a role player instead of letting him try and be the "man"

    we should have never gotten rid of ariza. i will always, be against that trade no matter what. :l


    as for the video.
    go cleveland. lol
    and another point, i never wanted lebron to come to the rockets either. in a thread earlier in the year people were talkin to me like i was stupid and ridiculed me for not wanting lebron in this rockets organization. who's laughing now, well not me, cause we are 0-4

    Not sure what to think...

    On the one hand, the video is well made and shows LeBron he needs to just shut the hell up and play basketball instead of relying on the Nike PR machine to save his tattered image.

    On the other hand, f--k Cleveland.* Seriously. Who gives two sh-ts about that place? They should be grateful LeBron was there as long as he was, helping to detract from the stench coming from that hellhole masquerading as a "city."

    Sigh. Conflicted...


    * I am not fond of Cleveland.

    Nice vid lol.

    At the same time, I've never liked LerBon since he was in high school, while I also feel no sympathy for Cleveland.

    Wade also openly stated on Jimmy Kimmel that he would NEVER consider going to Cleveland even if LeBron and Bosh were both there and invited him.

    To elaborate, here is what I think pretty much happened:
    LeBron: Alright, Bosh and Wade let's get it done in Cleveland.
    Bosh: No. Cleveland sucks.
    Wade: No, Cleveland sucks. You guys come to Miami or no big three.
    Bosh: OK. I love you Wade.
    LeBron: But... Cleveland... :(
    Wade: Ditch that sorryass city.
    LeBron: OK. I love you Wade.

    That video is RIDICULES!! Note to Cleveland fans: Get off your high horse and realize you are a mediocre city in a state that nobody really likes! Stop acting like you deserve something here!! If it wasn't for lebron y'all would've had a top 5 draft pick the past seven years! When you had lebron, there was a chance you could win something but your piss pore management couldn't get him any help (Jamison is NOT enough) no team has ever been as successful as you were playing 5 on 1! So you had your chance, YOU screwed it up, and your KING couldn't deal with it anymore! Have fun becoming the Clippers of the East, thats really all deserve anyway! Bitter SOB'S!!!! MOVE ON!!!

    That's quite a few exclamation marks there, son.
    I don't understand how making a video IN RESPONSE to Lebron's piss poor Nike rhetoric constitutes being on a "high horse." This whole deal was looking it was blown over when Lebron Incorporated released his "Rise" campaign. It was nothing more than a myopic attempt at justifying douchebaggery, and Cleveland felt the need to defend their position.

    Well... 1st, please don't call me son. Because i can assure you, you are not my father! 2nd, I know, i use a lot of exclamation marks, its probably my biggest fault!! Now on to something that matters! They ARE on their high horse because they think that LeBron owed them something, when in fact it was the opposite!! That team/city has always been crap! LeBron did what he could while he was there but, like anybody thats ever played, he couldn't do it by himself!! Now that he is gone Cleveland thinks LeBron "turned" on them and he's a "traitor"!! That commercial wasn't even directed toward Cleveland alone! It was also directed to people like you and other LJ6 haters around the world who, if put in his situation, would probably do the same thing! But whiny Cleveland fans just used it as another excuse to show how classless they are and put a firkin video on youtube!
    I mean come on they're not Boston or LA or even Chicago! They haven't earned special treatment yet they expect special treatment!! You don't see Toronto whining about Bosh leaving, when bosh really did the same thing when u think about it! You don't see any other teams that lost their stars this past offseason whining about it (Utah, Phenix)
    He was a FREE AGENT and he chose to go somewhere else! If that makes him a "douchebag" then there is quit a few douchebags in the league! The only difference between LeBron and the rest of players that left their teams is that LeBron joined two other superstars and for some reason NBA fans don't like it!
    Now, please excuse me, but i have to go watch My Red Raiders run all over the Misery Tigers! Have a fantastic night! PEACE!!!

    Cleveland, it turns out, has some very specific ideas about what LeBron James should do.

    A video making the rounds on the internet, apparently posted on YouTube by a Cleveland filmmaker, remixes James' Nike ad in which he asks "What should I do?"
    The ad was a response to the backlash James provoked with his nationally televised announcement that he would sign with the Miami Heat after playing seven seasons in Cleveland.
    The video portrays different Cleveland sports fans and their disgust with James.
    "Boston? Game 5? We watched. You quit," one fan says in the video, referring to last season's 32-point loss in the playoffs.
    Before tipoff against New Orleans on Friday night, James said he had seen the video.
    "It was all right," he said. "They could have done a better job."
    The video ends with a fan on the street saying "We wanted you to be who you said you'd be."
    That's immediately followed by a recording of James saying: "I got a goal. And that's a huge goal and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop 'til I get it."
    Accompanying that is an image of the iconic ad banner with James' image and the words "We are all witnesses" on it, falling off a building.
