    if you call youself the chosen one, you gotta take the criticism like a man. he quit on his team, his city & did it in an extremely distasteful fashion.

    my ? look back at the ENTIRE boston series last year and his stats from that series are better than most of the celtics players from that series and better than derrick rose's stats last series. Also the team quit on HIM! They had 3 years to build around him before he decided to move and they didn't get him ? to play with. Even jordan would not have won a title early in his career with the cavs lineup they put around lebron. If you enter the army and they want you to fight in iraq with a nerf gun are you going to be loyal and fight? Hell no! you are going to need weapons of a higher caliber to fight (pun intended).

    And I dont want to hear ? talmbout Akron isn't connected to Cleveland....? is 30 miles away. That's Lebron's area. LOL @ the ? growing up 30 minutes away from Cleveland his entire life & talmbout he don't give a ? about them. Kinda ? is that LOL...

    If you from Long Island, you don't run out on the Knicks
    If you from Palm Beach, you don't talk ? about the Heat
    If you from Gary, Indiana....you don't run out on the Bulls
    If you from Chester PA...you don't ? on the Sixers
    If you from Long Beach, CA...you don't say ? the Lakers
    If you from Decatur, GA....you don't say you dont give two ? about the Falcons/Hawks

    You basically a hometown hero.

    but if you grow up in the bronx you aint gunna wanna play for the mets.....if you grow up in oakland are you begging to play for the san fransico 49ers?.....I know it doesn't have to do with the topic of the thread but i just wanted to be a ? and prove yo ass wrong

    So, should he had stayed in Cleveland and continue to underachieve? ? that. Free Agency is an option and LBJ chose it. I don't get wtf the problem is. (((shrugs shoulders))).

    I said this before in a few other similar threads on this site about this very same topic. Tell me that you've never had a job where u felt that u weren't going anywhere OR an opportunity presented itself where u could raise up and do better for yourself? LBJ did the same and did it for less money.

    What you posted, is delusional.



    It only makes sense, if Jordan ain't ? for not bringing the Knicks 6 rings, since he was born in Brooklyn....and Magic Johnson ain't ? , for not bringing the Pistons 5 rings, since he's from Lansing MI aka 60 miles from DET...Isiah ain't ? either, then, according to your logic since he didn't bring CHI 2 rings...and of course the INDIANA PACERS would have 3 rings by now if 'ol hick, from French Lick, wouldn't have abandoned his home state for Red Auerbach's leprechaun

    for one....both the Bronx & Oakland have teams....bad analogy. My point is...don't be from Long Beach, CA & saying you never ? with L.A. Be real ? .....you basically live in the area SMH.

    for two.....@ 2012......none of the players who named were drafted by their home teams. Lebron James was. He grew up in Akron. Went to school in Akron. Family is from Akron. Got drafted by Cleveland. Spent his first 8 years on the Cavaliers acting like he was their savior & that he was gonna bring his city a ring. Then when ? got hard.......he got on ESPN like ? yall ? LOL. Wearing Cowboy Jerseys to the Browns' games. Sitting on the Yankees side @ the Indians games. Putting stories in the Media that he never liked Cleveland like he wasn't saying he was a hometown hero back in 2004. That's fake ? ? .

    for three......@ Drmindbender.......We all gonna make decisions that provide the best personal utility. In Lebron's case, that was leaving Cleveland to go form a superteam in Miami. No problem. Just take the criticism like a man. Unlike Jordan, he didn't stay in Cleveland & persevere into success. Unlike Kobe, he actually acted on his complaints & actually left. Unlike Iverson, he quit on his city & basically told all the fans there that he never liked them growing up anyway LOL. He'll always have that mark against him. Just deal with it & stop ? . You did it!!!!! And I refuse to believe Lebron couldn't have built a Team in Cleveland....especially if Oklahoma City can have one of the best teams in the NBA.

    people wanted to come to Chicago because its chicago a nice city he got 2 top 50 players in pippen and rodman who did lebron have? Mo williams. The bulls made moves to help jordan get a title if they could not get good players after 8 years for jordan would he have stayed in chi town? Jordan had ? like horace grant, ron harper, tony kukoc who were much better role players than daniel gibson lmao.

    The Media ain't gonna treat Miami like Boston's big 3, it's gonna be Lebron-Lebron-Lebron. I'm callin it. They already startin now.

    man i can see some ? like that happening too ....? gone start getting big headed lebron doing miami vice part 3 movies and ? gettin called the "king of south beach" ...man that ? wade gone have to be strong

    Bunch of ifs ? ...if players like playing in muthafuckin Oklahoma...Cleveland could've got somebody to come help Lebron.

    IMHO...Bron did make the right choice by going to Miami. His career will be better in the long run. Im just objective enough to know that people do have a right to say Bron took the easy way out because he did. Players before him stuck with their teams & grinded it out. He didn't.

    But as i said earlier the cavs did not do ? for him. Lebron got punished for doing too good too early in his career. The fact that he had the cavs have so many winning seasons so early in his career meant the cavs couldnt get top 10 picks because they were so good wheras the bulls were able to get players like horace grant because they had losing seasons under jordan. This meant the success of lebron title wise depended on what peices the cavs were going to get him not high level draft picks. Jordan woulda caught murder charges had delonte ? with jodrans mom and jordan woulda punched daniel gibson or mo williams for not being much help to him. Lebron was paitent for 8 years. After that he had to change scenery. During jordans first 8 seasons they continued to get peices to work with to get better which led to his title.

    word up. i said in another thread Lebron is the perfect son the NBA always wanted to replace Mike. the minute he gets that ring lol...just wait. I can definitely see problems between Wade & James in the future because the Media is gonna act like Bosh & Wade aren't even on the team.

    Realist ? written on this site. Put too many lebron ? and not enough years spent as an athlete and knowing what a team is will slay these low lifes who never had an athletic bone in their bodies. I know for a fact if these ? played for any team they wouldnt be ok with how this ? played himself. These are internet ? that were NEVER in the trenches with a team of their own....If you never played team sports ? yo self....you are an monday morning QB, A arm chair basketball player, and winter time base ball player you never felt it, so dont act like you know it......you are a prisoner of the moment ass ? . you take facts thrown in your face and can ignore it..you are a stan. you have no integrity, your word means ? ......

    93-94 Bulls After Jordan Retired

    55-27 Reg Season Record .... Lost Tight Game Seven To Knicks In Eastern Conf Divisionals = Great Team That Was Put Over The Top By Elite Player (Jordan)

    10-11 Cavs Record After LeBron Left

    19-63 Reg Season Record ...... Joke Of The League ... 26game Loosing Streak ... Complete Disgrace Of An NBA Team ...... = Garbage Squad Carried By Elite Player (James)



    Why are you still talking? Go To Sleep ? ? Go Finish Pinning Up Your LeBron Voodoo Doll .....Just Stop Talking About Basketball

    What does mentioning anything to do with Jordan have to do with giving a 60 win team a pass for not winning?

    LOL Jordan didnt win a championship until his 7th season. Now compare Jordan's roster to Lebron's. He had 0 allstars on his team. Nobody else averaged 20ppg. Then the 2nd best player on his team disappeared in the playoffs. Look at how terrible that team was. As soon as Lebron left they set an NBA record for losses in a row. If ur franchise is not helping u get star players u have the choice to leave. Ultimately he wants to win and the franchise had no plans on doing so. That ? dont owe the owner, city, organization ? .

    it was a 60 win team because lebron ? ....damn .... is this ? really that complex to grasp??

    when you have a good TEAM a quality supporting cast.. even without you they will sustain ......however ....when or if your carrying a team ...once you leave ..they fall apart...thats not a team ...that's essentially a one man show..
