    From dancing on the Bulls, to throwing a towel on the floor when the ballboy was in his face asking for it, to saying he "spoils people with his talent" to having this bull**** "The Decision".

    Even Jordan was egotistical even Kobe was egotistical but the way that this man has deprived the NBA of class and dignity is beyond anything I've ever seen before.

    It sucks that the Lakers are not the talk of the town for winning the championship the last 2 years.

    Kobe will always be better.

    Lebron has no heart.
    Ok if we can call LeBron out for the towel thing what do we say about Kobe cheating on his wife and the whole rape allegations?

    Damn near all sports superstars have egos and from time to time do things thats questionable.
    You looking at the Chair MAN!

    Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.

        Does it freaking matter?....If he wins 4-5 rings here. All of this BS will be thrown out of the window. "He has no heart or he is not a man. Kobe this...Jordan that" Man if they win the championship more then once. It won't freaking matter.

        I'm sorry guys...You don't want to be ringless. And you don't want to be like KG, Paul, Ray Allen thinking what if we were together when we were in our primes. "We sure would have more than one ring."

        I can't believe people don't see the greatest in that 2 of the top 3 players in the world and one of the top 3 at his postion are willing to take less money....Just to win. I'm sorry guys. But once you step on the court that what it is all about. Winning.....

          He could of done that in Cleveland and been a hero...

          I mean we are talking about a player who said something along the lines of ,"I'm going to do everything to bring a championship to Cleveland, and I'm not going to stop until I get it."

          Actions speak louder than words. He is a coward.

            Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

            My thoughts on Lebron's decision.

            Me personally I love to see parity in the league. I feel if Lebron would have chosen any of the other city over Miami, it would have not look as bad, and would have been much easier to swallow.

            We could have experieced more rivalries in the league, which to me makes things so much more exciting. Now we will continue to only have those handfull of teams.

            I would have loved for Lebron to join the Knicks. I feel with Stoudemire, and Gallinari that they could have done some special things in NY, and with the cap space for next season could have added another solid piece.

            Right now Lebron is being looked upon as a coward. A person who threw away his legacy. Many are saying he is the Bad guy now. and Why , because a person with his talents and hype should have his own team and bring them to a championship.

            He is going to Wade to get his chip(Well maybe), he is not willing to be the center piece of a dynasty. He is not willing to build a team around him. Build that chemistry.

            In reality He needs Wade more than Wade needs him, and that looks bad for him.

            Lebron used teams like the Celtics with Bird , Mchale, and Parrish, but those guys were there already, and build a team chemistry. They did not come via F.A. Those players were not superstars on another team. They worked hard together and learned how to play well with eachother. They build and earned thier legacy.

            Michael got his Pippen, and Horace Grant. Those guys came from the draft, and again build a chemistry together and earned those championships. Whay happened to Horace grant when he left the Bulls? Exactly my point , nothing.

            Teams are to be built and a chemisty is to be developed. Lebron was one of those types of players who was to go this route, and he ran from it. He really did give up and chicken out.

            Now I will admit that I was very highly dissapointed that he did not choose the Knicks, but when he said Miami. I was shocked on that decsion. Why would he throw everything away like that. His Legacy, marketing, money, and his own chance of being a NBA Legend.

            Lets say he would have chosen the Nets, Bulls, or Clippers. Those that were not chosen would have been upset, but at the sametime would see it that he wants to try and do something special somewhere else, but choosing Miami tells a whole other story.

            He is now being destroyed all over the internet, and in the sports world. He lost a ton of respect, and fans. His merchandise will not sell anymore (Except in Miami).

            It's crazy how one minute you have the world in your hands, and with this one decision lose it all. This has ruined him greatly, and now Jame has to live with this. Not Wade, or Bosh, just James alone.

            This is Bigger than some may think.

            I know one thing. Magic, Bird , and Michael woud have never ever considered playing with eachother. They had to much heart , pride , determination , and belief in themselves on doing it the real way, by earning it, and by beating the best.

            This is why the NBA can never be like it once was.

                  Re: LeBron James Signs With Miami Heat

                  so if lebron would'ev stayed with the cavs people would say yeah he dont want the pressure and hes not a winner hes just playing it safe....

                  When he joins Miami and takes less money and they trying to build a dynasty with friends it all turns bad.

                  Cavs had 7 chances with lebron to win the title they couldnt they still couldnt get him a no.2

                  people never bring into the equation how kobe got his 3 rings? Shaq? and he was the sidekick. Kobe also got Gasol gifted to him before that he was demanding out.

                    There were plenty of pieces out there that Cleveland could of tried for if he took a cut like he's doing with his butt buddies in Miami...

                      A pay cut for LBJ while on the Cavs would have meant nothing. They were so far over the cap it would have only saved them some money on luxury tax.

                          I think points 1, 2, and 5 in this story sum up things pretty well when it comes to LeBron James, and are very hard to argue with IMHO: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...html?eref=sihp

                            Cavs have no cap space there year dude all they had was a MLE .

                            Danny Ferry raped the cavs with that Andy V contract and the jamison trade killed them cap wise also.

                            Cavs have cap space for 2011
