Why would he just leave that for money?

Because all professional athletes do.

Re: Is there a possibility that LeBron will end up a Laker?

What kinda sense does that make? Just because they win a championship, he doesn't feel obliged to stay in Cleveland? So if he goes to the Knicks and they win a championship....is he gonna leave again?

The only people that think LeBron will NOT play in Cleveland are NYK fans or people who have wishful thinking.

LeBron has singlehandedly put Cleveland on the map, and he's given them to possibility to win the NBA Championship as long as he plays there. Why would he just leave that for money? He has plenty of endorsements. He's the biggest thing in Cleveland....

I take it you're not old enough to remember all of the talks of MJ coming to the Knicks in the 90's.

Not sure if he will go to LA or NY or whatever but its an interesting dilemma for the league. Yeah, LeBron could go to NY and be a bigger deal than what he is now but is that really good for the league? That would basically turn the NBA into what MLB has become where teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates are farm teams for the bigger market teams. Why even have a team in Cleveland at all?

Not all.

AI stayed in Philly for a while, and his future as a Sixer never had anything to do with money.

How do the Knicks = More money?

If LeBron wins a title, it won't matter where he is, he's going to get gobs of marketing and money.

Wasn't talking about the Knicks. Talking about and athletes and teams in general. Ya'll really think these Professional Athletes give a crap if there city is on the map or not?

AI was the exception and is not the norm and is aldo one of the FEW Old School athletes that can push money to the backburner and play because he wants to. Wonder what happened to the rest of them?

They are still out there. Baron Davis is another person who just wants to be in a winning situation.

LBJ won't make that much more money if he leaves CLE, that's why money doesn't factor in at all. In fact who knows if leaving CLE will for sure yield more $ for him.

If Kobe opts out and the Lakers don't get him back, this thread becomes a whole lot more real

Re: Is there a possibility that LeBron will end up a Laker?

I wanna ask something to the Cleveland fans. If LeBron leaves, will you boo him? Will you hate him for having no loyalty? It'd be a huge slap in Cleveland's face if he leaves for NY imo which is one of the reasons I don't see LeBron leaving. NYers will love LeBron and buy up his shoes regardless of whether he plays in NY or not, just like they loved Michael.

I wanna ask something to the Cleveland fans. If LeBron leaves..

It's a complete impossibility in their eyes so there's no point in answering it.

What happened to the Jay-Z "connection" that people(media) were drooling over back in the past?

And EC, I said I was talking about Professional Athletes in general, not Lebron.
