    While I doubt the legitimacy of this article because of its source (Cleveland something or another), I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron did ask for this or something like this. Based on what I know about his personality, he seems to be the kind of person who feels that the world does, or should, revolve around him.


    I look forward to reading the responses of the LeBron nuthuggers in this forum

    Tmac part 2...no father figure in their lives to tell them to suck it up and they have been catered too and surrounded by "yes" men.

    Sorry Charlie, grow up or fail.

    No other option.

    Become a man.

    Awesome. Now I'm hoping e-po gets fired so Riles can coach.

    Magic, Shaq, Kobe, and countless others were the exact same way. The Internet is just bigger now so no-name fans can inflate the personas of these egomaniacs through controversial articles to bring viral attention to their websites.

    I didn't know clippy and co. were here to correct grammar.
    I guess after completely pwned in basketball topic in a basketball forum. They can't find a better way to cover ass.

    Im sure a lot of this article isn't completely true, but Woj reported the New Orleans story on Yahoo so there is probably something there

    Boy, I hope you have a ghostwriter when you go to press with all of your high esteemed "academic publications". You are a freaking moron.

    Kind of hard to respect a guy as being unbiased when he writes stuff like this

    Agree, but they had Phil Jackson and Pat Riley and Phil Jackson to keep them in check. Lebron had free reign in Cleveland. Make no mistake about it if that was Cleveland Lebron would have got his wish. That team was his. That owner gave him free reign gave him everything. That's why he was so pissed. Lebron and his homies owned the place. Now Lebron is a piece of the pie. yeah he is still the biggest piece but he's part of a team. He won't get to pick his coach. he won't get to have his own section on the plane. he won't call the shots. He has no idea the diference it makes to be controlled under a disciplinarian like Riley. Riley understands Lebron is a superstar and will give him superstar treatment but he will not give 100% free reign. He didn't give that to Shaq. he didn't give that Ewing he will not give it to lebron. And Lebron can't say **** about. Riley has the most valuable contract in the League. Lebron is the most underpaid player in the league. If Lebron doesn't work out he could be playing in New orleans. Haha that thought gives me joy. I hate lebron's arrogance even though he is one player that deserves to have it. Of course I would trade for him in a second.

    no way. Lebron just made a non-basketball community start selling out preseason games.

    They happily hitched to the Lebron wagon and they will happy ride it out. Guaranteed.

    While it's a lot of conjecture on the Heat, it is correct on Lebron receiving benefits as a Cav. That stuff's been known for years.

    It's just the honeymoon. It could even be a long honeymoon. But all honeymoons come to an end and this will too. The question is how quick the divorce follows. I will bet big money Lebron will not retire as a heat. So the question is how long before misses his your highness treatment.

    The Heat don't have to win a championship this year but anything less than a east finals is a disappoint. They can still overcome that with a championship in their second year. If after 2 years they do not have a ring I guarantee you Lebron will lose King Status! Probably long before then. Of course winning changes everything.

    I would think that you would be a little more careful with your writing for the rest of the thread after bragging about your writing ability. Neither of those is a complete sentence.

    LOL. It's an internet forum. Proofreading is not necessary. Why don't you jump on Tweeter to correct grammar there? It's a gold mine.

    This is some childish tactic to divert the original basketball topic, and I can care less.

    I am not a native English speaker, and I make grammar errors at times. Big deal. If this is the best defense you guys can come out after getting pwned, I did overestimate your intelligence.

    If you were intelligent or hard-working, you wouldn't need to proofread to avoid obvious grammar errors. You could just spend all the time you do trolling these boards in school.

    Also, it's "couldn't care less".

    Intelligence and hard-working is relatively. I could get better with grammar, points taken.

    How about you avoid obvious logic flaw, inconsistent comments overnight, behave like a normal human being and not like a hurt b**** on this forum? It's too easy to get pwned when you do that, my grammar notwithstanding.
