    I get what you're saying to an extent, but again it's not about just leaving through free agency and I still don't see why this has to keep being explained. LeBron's not getting what he's getting because he left, that's his right and he didn't HAVE to stay in Cleveland, however it's the way he left that's the problem and the attitude he has displayed since just before leaving and since leaving.

    If you quit a job, put in your two weeks, show up keep up your work level at the same level you've been working that's one thing. However if you put in your two weeks and proceed to treat your job like you only have two weeks left there or worse yet, you're scheduled to work and about two hours into the shift and you ain't there and they're looking for you and you call and tell them you quit, you don't then get the luxury of bitching and moaning how wrong they are for dogging you out at the job and not being references for you down the line.

    As for the thing about the Olympics I'm assuming that was brought up not just to pile on LeBron, but to give context to the change that Dwyane Wade is apparently going through in this new marriage of egos. It's clear that being in Cleveland protected LeBron from a lot of stuff that he's now being forced to be hit with cause he went out the house without his bullet proof vest. This is exactly the type of scrutiny that people said they were going to have to go through, they knew what they were getting themselves into by doing what they did so I don't see why all of a sudden people are acting like they're surprised or somehow offended by the level of hatred and critiscism that these guys are going through. This is exactly what was expected to happen and now it's here and it's wrong? They knew what would happen if they got together and weren't winning and they went through with it anyway. Now you have to live with the consequences of that choice.

      As for the people saying it's horrible...that's why you don't screw with people who were loyal to you and you return it with the disrespect that this dude gave us.

      Look down on us if you want, but I believe we deserve this much.
      Yeah...I don't get the whole sappy 'be nice' routine that some people are coming with.

      Players leave teams all the time and when they come back, based on how they left is how the home crowd treats them.

      It's been that way in sports since forever.

      Make a spectacle of your home team on TV and man up and take the abuse that they give you. Big deal.

      He'll go back to South Beach and his millions and not give a crap about it in a week.

      He's a grown man.

        Yeah, if anyone thinks Cleveland needs to "be nice", they need to GTFO.

        LeBron came as close to literally ****ting all over an entire city as you possibly could. It's only right that Cleveland gets to do the same thing back.

          He deserves to be cheered, the good he gave that city throughout the seven years he was there far outweigh the bad.

          According to StubHub, fans in Cleveland have paid an average of $209 to see Thursday night's Cavs-Heat game, making it the most expensive regular season Cavs home game since the secondary ticket broker came online ten years ago.
          Funny they'll pay more to come boo and jeer him then they ever did to cheer and support him.

            "I'm ready for whatever response I'm going to get," James said. "It's going to be very emotional. I give a lot of thanks to that city, a lot of thanks to those fans for giving me the opportunity to not only showcase my talent, but to grow from a young boy to a man during my seven years. So it's going to be very emotionally draining. I can tell already."

                  Just my opinion, I've watched his whole career on Cleveland, damn near every game since I was about 16 years old, I have alot of great memories watching him do his thing in that city. I can overlook the stuff he did over the summer, others can't, it is what it is.

                      So did I, but that doesn't change the fact he quit in the playoffs last year, didn't talk to anyone in the organization after that, didn't tell anyone his intentions in FA so that the Cavs could know whether they were going to have to move on without him or not, had a 1 hour special just to rip out the heart of an entire city where he grew up, told everyone to "get over it" instead of thanking the fans (which he did a month or 2 later, but still...), and on, and on.

                      If he'd actually stand up and acknowledge that it was wrong to do what he did, then yes, maybe it would be acceptable to cheer him. But in this case, **** no.

                        I honestly would have a hard time cheering him it's not like he was released and it was the teams decision like some of these other reunions you see. Lebron didn't win Cleveland anything so they have no reason to be loyal to him when he wasn't loyal to them imo.

                        Some of these cheers are pretty bad, but some are good and I enjoy the fact that they might actually be trying to get this organized.

                            LOL I can't believe LeBron is still throwing around "my talent" every time he tries to say something correct.

                            And Wade......WTF are you thinking man? If you don't tell the press you support your coach 100% then you are basically saying you don't support him at all.

                            Thats funny about LeBron shoving the plate of fries away....on Thanksgiving he had a tweet along the lines of "Man I'm starving! And the food ain't ready yet. SMH" which I realized was a total dig at what I'm pretty sure was his personal chef.

                            So is LeDoucher gonna do the powder thing or not Thurs? I tried to bring this up a few times before the season saying he can't possibly do it at all this year, right? But nope, he continues to do it, even on the road, in a total "look at me I'm better and more important than my team and teammates" way .... so does he do it in Cleveland? Probably. Loser. This guy couldn't find a championship if it landed on his forehead.

                              Don't know if this video was posted already. I searched and looked through a high amount of pages , and did not come across it.

                              Well if it was my apologizes.

                              This video is a combination of Lebron's "What should I do" video With Michael Jordan. In my eyes this video simply Nails it.
