A drama queen James, NBA king boy, he needs Wade to save his life, that is what I am seeing right now.
I enjoy having negative views of player personalities as well as the positives. Rooting against the "Bruise Brothers," Brett Favre, the Yankees, and now Lebron, is pretty fun. A lot of humans like basic scenarios with "good guys" and "bad guys." You see this (to a dramatic and counterproductive extent) with politics also. I mean, I'm going to enjoy the world series, but it's not as passionate when I kind of like both teams (which I do.) I would get way more into it if we had Yankees/Giants. How can you root against either team that has never won a championship in the modern era? Sports, cable news channels, and WWF all suffer a tad without villains. It's totally cool that you don't lean that way, but I don't understand those (like rosolian in most of these threads) who chime in with "what did Lebron do to you?" Well, he acts like he has significant ego and PR judgment issues, and for some of us, it's kind of fun to hope this particular MVP falls short of his goals, while some more modest underdog types win the trophies.
All those folks just hate brown people...it is pretty clear.....WTF EVER ! I mean it couldn't be that people think his "Decision" was a narcisistic peace of **** that was classless and offensive to many NBA fans. It has to be about race.....right? When all else fails.......fall back to the race card........ His handlers are a bunch of hanger on, idiots........they should just tell Lebron to STFU, and play ball. He is starting to sound very Tmacish....in his chatter..... He needs to quit whining....it is very unmanly. DD
90%? Hardly. Lebron just wants to win, and I respect that. Even if I know I'm probably going to be sick and tired of the Heat within a season or two.
Super - I have no issue with him going to Miami, hell if I were in his shoes I would probably do the same.....Miami - better money, better city, better team.....bikinis.....yes please ! What Lebron is too ****ing stupid to notice is that it has nothing to do with his decision and everything to do with "THE DECISION". DD
It is all about the ego-maniacal way he did it. And it was about race? That is just pathetic. I will be cheering for the Heat to lose every game. Mark it down, I don't care how good Lebron becomes he will NEVER be the MJ of the league after this. And, no, I don't think the Heat will win multiple championships, I don't think they will win even one. This won't work. I look for the the Celtics to really work them over tomorrow night.
I was mad that he left to go to miami to join 2 other top 10 players. yes he thinks he did know wrong with that show but, cleveland still would hate his guts even if he didnt have that show.
My bad. I didn't mean 90% of the population. I meant 90% of his haters. Even though everyone in Cleveland hates him, it's still a small minority compared to everyone else who thinks he's a dips***. And while winning is important, I think we can all agree that how you win is even more important.
If it was only about the way he left, why all the anger about LeSidekick, ruining his legacy, taking the easy way out, ruining the competitive balance of the league, leaving behind his struggling home town, being a coward? If it had everything to do with the 1 hour special, why are people so pissed about everything else?
Well considering Kobe choked worse than LBJ in that playoff run I don't know why you keep yapping your mouth. If Kobe didn't have his all star cast backing him up they wouldn't be champions last year. Way to jump all over lebron when you idolize "coat tail rider" Kobe
You bring up very good points. LBJ in the grand scheme of things hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't hurt anyone, he didn't steal from anyone, he hadn't RAPED anyone. Yet he's getting more hate mail then people who did those things. WTF? People are just so excited to get on their high horse they're becoming over the top. As I said before the "Decision" while being extremely douche-like also raised money for charities. That's something that's tangibly good. He did treat the city like crap, but then again: 1) Its just sports. Duh! Its not like there are cleveland people who will go hungry because of him. 2) The team lied to him about his teammate banging his mom Would you still have loyalty when your entire team lied to you and kept you in the dark? Most people here hold these players to standards they don't hold themselves to.
I honestly think it's different groups of people. People like myself, (a) aren't really "mad," and (b) just like to give him grief for "The Decision." Seems like legitimate criticism. I don't type things like "lesidekick," or I don't remember typing things like that. I did type LeBr-yawn and stuff for a while. As in, enough already! I totally would have chosen Miami also, if I were him.
People just dislike lebron now because I think half of his fans are just dissapointed in him. He was destined to be great and lead a team by himself. Fans of basketball are all a bit dissapointed. He was suppose to be the next great one after MJ/Kobe. But now Lebron can never be that guy no matter what he does from here on out. Also his personality has just come out over the last few months and people are starting to realize what a douche he is. Very similar to Tmac with all his comments. Oh well I am with the others that hope the heat lose and lose big. I hope they never win.
I feel cleveland fans have a right to be mad at the "decision"(how it was made) but everyone one else is mad b/c he simply join the heat. Having a power house team like that with 2 of the top 5 and 3 of the top 10 players)all in their prime) in the league on one team seems unfair. I think fans wouldn't be as mad if he joined chicago or the knicks(b/c the league will seem more competitive).
Correction: I would have been mad if he join the Knicks b/c our switch option and 1st rd pick would become worthless!! I'd love to see a Knicks (lebron & amare) vs Heat (wade & bosh) match-up than a Heat (lebron, wade & bosh) vs The rest of the league!
lol at the race issue. that shouldnt even be an issue. Lebron was suppoe to be the Cavs savior/there Michael Jordan/there hero, that would put Cleveland on the map of great sport franchises but he decided to leave. Every player has a right to have say where he wants to play but the way he handled it is what upset most or all of the cleveland fans. If he had done it in a classier way, maybe Cleveland fans wouldn't hate him right now, they would probably just be upset and move on but now he will forever be hated and inbedded in the memory of current and future Cleveland fans.
Then I find it ironic that no analyst ranks the heat number 1 in the league. How can the heat trio be unfair when other analysts are still ranking the Lakers number 1? Also Chicago with LBJ, Rose, Noah and the supporting cast there would be twice as deadly than the current heat team, and the nets with Lebron, Harris, Lopez AND favors would be probably be stronger than the Magic in their first year. It doesn't make a heap of sense.
