The LeBron James Thread

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Now that this whole Gilbert letter thing is actually breaking (even though it's been talked about for like a week...), it sounds to me like LeBron is making an excuse for why he doesn't want to return to Cleveland so that instead of him looking like the bad guy, the city will turn on Gilbert.

This thought crossed my mind this morning. Unreal how this FA period is playing out.

Just want it to be over already. I really feel bad for those players that are in limbo because of this

I don't think that will work though. The letter doesn't exist if LeBron didn't have the decision on live television. Also, what happened to them mending things over at Z's jersey retirement?

Re: The LeBron James Thread

The thing that I want to see happen

Lebron go back to Cleveland and do what he was supposed to do the first time

The thing I would be okay if it happens

Lebron goes back to Miami to re-join Wade & Bosh. It would be even better if Bosh still left for Houston, but that's highly unlikely if Lebron stays.

Thing the that would cause me to stomp my feet in anger at my desk if it happens

Lebron goes back to Miami to join Wade and Carmelo.

Please don't make me stomp in anger

Re: The LeBron James Thread

And isn't this the same LeBron who said a few years ago, "I don't play for the Owner, I play for the Coach"?

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I wonder if the news of the letter is to get Gilbert to make a public apology.

I totally agree with that!! The last one is the worst way it could play out in my opinion.

The LeBron James Thread

The absolute best part of this LeBron experience is being able to watch ESPN implode on itself. We've got B Windhorst giving PSA's to Cleveland telling people not to kill themselves if he doesn't come back, and LeBatatd just said on sportscenter basically that he refuses to make a prediction because basically no one has any idea with any basis behind it where he's going. Their reporters are finally admitting that they just don't ****ing know what's happening. Broussard is now publicly saying "my sources say but I have no idea if they're right or not, I'm just saying what I've heard." This is amazing. We have as much an idea of what LeBron wants to do as they do, twitter has obliterated the line between sports journalist and casual fan, because we now all have the same sources. It's pretty awesome.

LeBron has trolled the whole world at this point. Ruined the credibility of reporters (well atleast for some people) and like you said is the puppet master of ESPN right now lol

The thing that I've learned is that I spend too much time worrying about where a basketball player is going to be playing basketball and that I'm ready for this to be over so that I can get back to my unhappy poor life.

Wait...

Spoiler

"unhappy poor life"

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I dont know if Lebron is trolling the media, its moreso the media tripping and fumbling over themselves trying to be the first with the story. But hey, Im sure their tv programs and websites are getting outrageous hits with all the loljournalism going on. Its whatevs. Im just waiting for august to come and football can put the NBA to rest until October.
