The Black Mamba is probably a happy guy as a result of the free agency circus in Miami. Kobe Bryant looks loyal and humble in comparison lol

Absolutely, agreed but I haven't heard one former teammate denounce Lebron and his decision yet, It seems to have been nothing but support and understanding from his former teammates who just want to see him win. I'm just going off Mo Williams comments because I'm pretty sure thats the only one that has talked so far, and also going off Big Z's percieved feelings on the organization.

These guys aren't going to stop being Lebron's friends because he's on a different team.

Awesome. Because it really means anything.

Bookmark it. Make it your homepage. Want a wallpaper?

I will enjoy watching them play much like most NBA fans won't care to admit. But I will enjoy their failure even more. /hating

Respect

At least you are honest

So was Durant's agent. His guy got turned into the poster boy for sportsmanship, humility and leadership in a week. Durant went from up and comer to a shoe in for most popular/loved player in the next 10 years. About half of the sports reports chiding the nWo mentioned Durant's re-signing as a contrast.

Sorry If i took it wrong, but It seemed like you were questioning the man's loyalty in all walks of life lol

You are really pushing it. These players get paid MILLIONS of dollars to play a ****ing game and you are saying they are getting treated like pieces of meat?

I wonder how Zydrunas Ilguaskas feels about the Cavaliers organization? Here to today, gone tommorrow, nothing guaranteed.

Good thought Pared. I agree with you. Not much there for his old teamates, it would appear.

I liked when he said afterwards, this feels right. I was thinking, really? It does?

Hes back on the team, but I know what your saying, and I somewhat agree. It is a little different though.

I think it showed how Z loves Cleveland, and it shows the Cavs did want to keep him here, they just had to make the trade to please Lebron, and help get us a championship.

Guess Im just one of the ones who would feel honor and privelage to play for my home state, and even better yet, city.

Besides fans werent exactly happy to see big Z go. Watch his return game to the Cavs. Thats loyal fans baby!

These athletes are all part of a fraternity, they're not gonna stop being friends with Lebron because he's in Miami, They're still cashing they're checks waiting for they day they get traded or are pushed out the door.

I remember it well, it brought a tear to my eye when they gave him that ovation, seriously. I watched close to every Cavs game for the last couple year and certaintly I didn't feel the type of joy a native clevelander would enjoy but watching the team the last couple years alot I felt something when that happened.

Z is back with Cleveland? thought he was a free agent still.

I dont read it like that at all.

#1 It shows Mo has class
#2 It shows Mo doesnt understand why Lebron thought he needed to leave to win
#3It shows he feels blessed to be where he is,etc..
#4 It shows HE has respect for his friend

It really doesnt speak very well, that Lebron has been partying, and rubbing it in Clevelands faces. Specially after you pointed out yourself, the support he received from the other end. Wheres the respect he has given to others....hymm?

No you don't, but it also shows what kind of hometown pride/loyalty that you have if you openly admit to jumping on the Heat bandwagon. So you personally wouldn't understand what this situation would feel like. Which is why I can't take a comment on loyalty seriously from someone who doesn't even know what that is.

Let see, married with 4 children all with one woman -check
adopted a teenager - check
took a 16k paycut to help out his father - check
I think I have my loyalties in order. This is sports, not real life, but entertainment.

So just because he is isn't moping around means he is rubbing it in? So does he need to be crying everytime they show him?

Nike will make the perceptions work for both of them

btw, is Wade nike or is he still converse or adidas or whatever company that was?
