Lebron James?

Who gives a flying FUCK. You guys are so stupid. Who gives two shits what your favorite SPORTS GUY does with his personal life.

He switched teams, that's his sports life not his personal life and it has a direct affect on people who are sports fans. I'm not even an NBA fan but your dickhead post inspired me to respond, dickhead.

Should have gone to Chicago. :( I miss the glory days of M.J.

I guess he's just looking to get his nut on some fine honeys on South Beach... That's what's up.

Funny I came accross this thread. I have an asian friend visiting and I had to sit and explain to him the lebron thing because it was the talk of everyone everywhere this past week. Then later he asked what the deal with lindsey lohan was because again it was all over the news, web etc. He then reflexes for about two minutes and then just explodes in anger about how can us americans feel so damn proud of a country that's more concerned in a "white trash POS girl doing jail and a hustling n**** next payday" then the worst natural disaster EVER which is still happening on our ocean side. My jaw dropped and I was kinda surprised by his remarks but then I realized he was right. Not about using the "N" word though.

fuck Cleveland. He was there for 7 years IN HIS PRIME, and during that entire time, they couldn't give him a legit supporting cast to have a legit run at the championship. I'd bolt too.

This pretty much sums it up right here. I don't see how you could argue with that. You can bitch about it all you want, but put yourself in his shoes. Home town loyalty gets you only so far, clearly.

^ Trüfsauce. Except it wasn't a "natural" disaster... :/

Yea the Cavs record was amazing last year. They should've gotten a lot further then they did. Miami will win next year's championship.

7 years, tons of money to the city, charity work.. 7 FUCKING YEARS!! Even Kevin Garnett who stayed alone(mostly, even if he has some help for a few years) had to leave after 12 years. His words of advice to Lebron were to make a decision early and win or stay, be a local hero and not win. Plain and simple, he should've gone to chicago but miami will definitely be entertaining if nothing more.

[pawi30]

I am not against his decision, but he would have been "Greater" if he won in Cleveland, as opposed to if he does in Miami.

[reelop19]

Well at least the proceeds from that espn spectacle went to charity. I hate stingy athletes

[scabzzzz]

Lebron is such a faker dude. He just Yankee'd basketball in one swift move. At least I can start hating the Heat and liking the Lakers now and not get killed in my town. Lebron and the Heat make Kobe and the Lakers look like fair and square good dudes.

Nah he wanted to get away from a state income tax.

[Dirtbleed]

Lebron is in Miami Bitch! Quit cying in Cleveland. Get outside before winter sets in again.

Lebron is no MJ. As a player or person in my mind. Comparing the two is a fallacy. I know he's without question one of the best in the NBA but the way officials give big stars free passes especially Lebron irks me. I understand the whole press thing is business and hype building but come the fuck on man, you're just annoying now.

Yeah as a Suns fan I hate Kobe and the Lakers but there is no question he's a great player and officials don't give him as many free passes as Lebron. And even Kobe doesn't measure up to MJ obviously. Sport commentators overuse the comparison way too much IMO. But hey, my Suns honestly had the skill to win it last year and I think were the only team to have the possibility to beat the Lakers but in usual Suns fashion things fell apart when it counted the most.

What?

You guys get over your fanboi-ism of sports and look at it like this.

What's wrong with changing jobs for a better opportunity? Whether it's pay/benefits/advancement opportunities (in this case better shot at a Championship)

I may actually watch the NBA next year again, just so I can see how well these three play together.
