No promises, no prime-time special. The only thing to dislike about him was that stupid show. And though he could not care less what I think, I wish him well, except when he plays the Bulls.

should be a great final next year..

LeBron may be a fan favorite now like Mike Jordan, who doesnt love a good fairytale story? Cleveland hasn't won a major sports title since 1964

a better chance for more titles and to mend old wounds. Those are worthy goals but they don't make his quote any less cringe-worthy. Why not just tell it like it is? His motives are fine.

Hey Miami, how many draft lotteries are you going to win?

Not 1.
Not 2.
Not 3.

Thanks for the warning, now I know enough not to turn on local news this evening.

They are definitely going to win the world series!

trading Wiggins for Love, getting more able bench players etc.

I really thought he was bluffing to get Miami to get him a better team and a better coach. However, when you look at what has happened to Cleveland in the last few years; Cleveland seems to be on an upswing. They have been able to get three good quality first round picks in the last three years. LeBron James will be going from one of the oldest teams to one of the youngest teams.

go on and win an NBA title. I haven't cared much about basketball since the Pistons were good, but I'd love to see Cleveland get any sports title. Even the Browns....unless you're playing my Lions.

The Cavs expected LeBron to do it all himself, and refused to build a team around him.

He tried to manage the team himself and when he was allowed to call the shots, he failed miserably.

A good player doesn't make a good manager.

Except us here in suburban Cleveland.

It's who he is, it's always his team mates fault and when it's all on the line he quits.

and I will be rooting for the Spurs next year, but I do not think it is unreasonable to take your talent to the best situation you can find. Free agency is a fact of life - just like you can leave your employer if a better deal comes along. Nothing is wrong with it. Frankly Bosch and Wade gave him very little support this year. Going the free agency route is not quiting. 2 titles and 2 nba finals appearances in four years is an impressive record in anyone's book. Jerry West only won one title for example. Chamberlain won only two. Bird only three. Dr. J and Moses Malone one NBA title. Baylor, Stockton, Barkley, Karl Malone, and Ewing never won one.

during and after game 1 when the air conditioning failed in San Antonio. He might not ever bring Cleveland any championships.





edit for grammar

The man is too big, the man is too strong. Too fast, to quick. The man is too skilled, probably can legitimately play all five spots on both ends, four at a Hall of Fame/consistent All Star level. Might be too short to be a dominant center on defense but otherwise he is probably top 5 at every other position (yes, including the point), I don't know if that could be seriously said about any other player at that level. Even Pippin was more of a 1 - 3 type.

Does he have that Jordan force of will? I don't know if I can say that but I'm comfortable saying he carries more of the load and that takes a considerable mental toughness so combined with the talent and skill he is probably the greatest force of nature in a couple or three generations.

And I'm not a fan of his or his teams really, just a wowed fan of the sport. I'm a Kentucky fan, the guy is like Mashburn perfected and magnified, pretty much a ridiculous monster, a made up Playstation fantasy player that makes your game crash if you actually put him on a team.

Its too bad he didn't have the teammates and philosophy that the Spurs have. He's win 10 championships then.

What a joke.. Lebron betrays Cleveland 4 years ago,Because he could not win a title with the Cavs leaves to south beach...Now realizes that the Heat are getting old and now just leave Miami.
