Now that LerBon has perfected the crab dribble, shouldn't he be practicing on another illegal move so that Dictator Sperm can change the rules once again to cater the "best player evar" in North America? I say forget that BS, LerBon should practice on being a tank and drive straight through everyone all season long.
Weird drill having Spoelstra literally shove LeBron before he raises up for a shot. Makes you wonder how much contact NBA players have to deal with and even more bewildering, how they keep hitting each other so discreetly.
You completely missed the point. Nobody's blaming Lebron for leaving Cleveland, but rather how he handled the whole situation
First off, stop with the crack, it doesn't help. Second, like mentioned earlier, it was the way he handled the situation. He didn't have to be a douche and lead the Cavs on a wild goose chase only to crush their hearts on a 1 hour nationally televised "decision". That was completely classless. I still get pissed about it, and i'm not even a Cavs fan!
It's still crazy thinking about how in one offseason the Heat got the best player in the game as well as a top 5 power forward, and that they have 2 of the top 3 players in the nba on that roster.
It's so odd, but I never see one of his defenders actually acknowledge this. It's always going back to the straw man of him choosing a different team. It's like: come on, guys. This isn't politics. You can actually confront the issue and not dodge it, right?
It's about his "decision" plus joining Wade's team. I doubt there'd be much noise outside of Cleveland if he went to Bulls or Knicks in a quick and quiet move.
I've acknowledged it on numerous occassions. I didn't like the way he left, as far as embarrassing them on national TV and not telling the team first. However, it's no different than guys getting traded and not finding out, which players like Mark Jackson have said has occured. We get mad at players for the way they leave a team or fans, even though they never decided to play in that place anyway. Yet we will gladly boo a guy if we think his play isn't up to par. We have no sympathy when guys choose to sign here and we ship them out in 1 yr to avoid paying them what we agreed to (see DA and Ariza). In other words, it's a tough business and if you don't have an issue with they ruthlessness on one side then you shouldn't for the other. Besides, I see way more posts blasting him for leaving in general or teaming up with more help, as opposed to how he left.
Lebron was a FA, the Cavs weren't his employer any more than the Heat, the Spurs or the Lakers were at the time. To think he owes them anything is silly beyond comphrehension. How would you like to be tied to the first company you worked for for your entire life?
LOL it wasn't classless, it was for CHARITY and they raised a ton of $$$. The purpose of stuff like these is to make money, and LBJ succeeded on that. IMHO the problem is the Cavs fan expect loyalty from LBJ just because he's a hometown kid. Maybe if Delonte West hadn't banged his mom and the Cavs fans didn't criticize him so much for quitting he would have stayed.
Because he clearly quit in game 5 vs. Celtics. And that's the No.1 reason they lost that series to an underdog.
