The LeBron James Thread

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

I get what you guys from Akron are saying about people being really upset with Bron leaving and the comparison to Favre leaving the Packers, I just don't buy it being bad to the point where he's not even going to be able to set foot in Akron again. Obviously he'll get booed for the rest of his playing career (and let's be honest whether he was doing this on ESPN or not he was gonna get killed for leaving) but he can't go home again? Seems unlikely.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

I thought Windy said it will not be there?

Also: PDcavsinsider
Right now there are rumors exploding in the NBA. All over the place involving three-team sign-and-trades, etc. No idea what to believe.

Could be, I'm sure he knows more. There was Fox-Chicago report that said it was at SVSM.

Of course he can come back to Akron. Its not like people will be waiting at the city limit signs with rocks in their hands. I think you are taking whats being said to literally.

Hmm interesting. I mean if it is at St. V's then could he really say he's leaving in his own home town?

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

I would be more than a little surprised if he held this thing in Ohio and announced he was leaving.

I'd also be surprised if there wasn't a leak. It'd be extremely disrespectful to all of the teams he spoke with to reveal his answer on TV, so he'll almost have to agree in private. And that would most likely leak. Nobody's poker face is that good, lol. Just check to see if Byron Scott is smiling, or if he still looks like Doakes from Dexter. If he has that Doakes look, Lebron is leaving. But I'd be real, real shocked if the party he agreed with didn't have an answer.

Really, he should let them all know, not just the one he agrees with. It'd really be something to clown an organization like that.

LOL Some folks on the Nets' boards are seriously reaching for ANYTHING over there to the point where they're posting Jay-Z's Concert Tour Date and they see that from 7/5-7/9 he has nothing lined up so he and Prokhorov will be back in the States and that'll be a good sign for us.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

You want to see what it would be like if LeBron left Cleveland?

Just read some of the local beat writer's twitter and how they have gone emo saying they thought they knew LeBron better and blah blah blah.

They went from confident to doomsday naysayers.

I can't imagine it he would, THAT would be ice cold.

I already closed the article and can't find the f'n link (if I didn't watch so much pron I wouldn't have the history turned off my browser ) but it said the head athletic trainer at SVSM was telling people that the presser was going to be at the high school.

No way in hell that's happening. I'd imagine he's going to have it in a gym with locals all around and then subsequent cheering when he says he's coming back to Cleveland.

That is, if the location is correct.

Well come on playa what else am I supposed to think? You guys are talking about him doing it on National TV as opposed to just annoucing he would leave. Either way if he leaves them, he's getting booed and completely ripped a new one whether it's on tv or not that he does it. You guys are talking about how bad it's going to be if he does it on TV like they're gonna dump his Benz in the river before they set it on fire because he's doing it on ESPN rather than quietly leaving.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

He'd go soaring past Modell to #1 most hated sports figure in Cleveland. He'd clear him by several levels of hate.

Not true at all.

One guy leaving a team during free agency (which happens hundreds of times every year) isn't even remotely as bad as an owner taking the city's most popular team away from a city (which happens not even once a decade) in my opinion..

This is why the NY media has been ultra-giddy the last 24 hours. Isola straight up said, "The Knicks are being too quiet, something is up."

I'm talking about him getting stuff thrown at him during games and his house getting repeatedly graffiti'd before he got back home.

He's going to shut up all the people who line up on tv and message boards saying he'll never pass Jordan or Kobe cause he has no killer instinct by assassinating Ohio sports on National TV. Hahaha sorry, had to do it.
