    My exact feelings. His stupid one hour special was a slap in the face. They should to his house and torch it too. (I'm Kidding)

    I thought after saying that the discussion with his mom would help clear things up and keep him Cleveland...

    Mom: LeBron, honey. You've lived in Cleveland all your life, it's time to think less about yourself and more about your fans.

    LeBron: Alright mom, I'll stay in Cleveland.


    Either than or...
    Mom: Lebron don't leave Cleveland! Don't leave me and Delonte!
    LeBron: F*** You.

    Hell no....I would personally drive Yao to the airport if it meant getting his contract off our books.

    Not that cap space is worth anything anymore. The Heat are going to kill everybody for the next decade.

    No, I would never burn ANY jersey, they might have some value after X amount of years.

    I would not burn my Yao Ming jersey. I REALLY want to see him win a championship with the Rockets. But would totally understand if he left and I could not see him leaving this team on bad terms. He could have amounted to a complete bust. Instead he worked his ass off, probably too much, to become probably the best player over 7'2" in NBA history. I'm framing my jersey when he leaves the team, hopefully through retirement rather than free agency.

    More like...
    Mom:Can you get Dwyane and Chris's number?
    LeBron: MOM!!!

    But to answer the question, no. Even my McGrady jerseys are still hanging in my closet.

    Why would they? I've seen multiple people call for trading Yao, so why would they burn his jersey since they want him out anyways?

    Yao did the same thing as LeBron, he left his hometown team for the brighter lights of the NBA and the USA.

    Honestly Lebron deserves any negativity he receives. He asked for it. When you become a media w**** you take the good with the bad.
