lol yes Kobe has been perceived as being narcissistic and selfish...hence why he's glad someone else has grabbed that spotlight and has taken that perception to another level

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?

Wade was with Converse and now I think he's with the Jordan brand.

It really doesnt speak very well, that Lebron has been partying, and rubbing it in Clevelands faces.

I must have missed when he did that? If your speaking on the fact that the Miami Heat threw a party for the unvieling of thier new big 3, I don't know what else Miami should have done.

"Oh hey Cleveland organization it's Miami we're sorry to hold a big event announcing the signing of the most sought after free-agent in the last couple of years, don't take it personal"

Can't believe my loyalties are still in this thread, I need to take my talents to south beach.

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.

Yeah, but to me that says more about guys like Mo than Lebron.

At least you are honest

I don't agree with the "this will kill the NBA" mindset. Everyone is going to tune in to either watch them play and succeed or watch them fail. Hell I want the season to start already. Who can say they don't care when Miami goes to visit Cleveland? Miami @ Boston? Miami @ NY?

Hell, all those games are going to be exciting, no matter how you feel.

And let's not get it twisted, Kobe isn't a better person all of a sudden because of Lebron's actions. The heat is just off of him. Kobe, if you've ever met and sat down with him comes off like a complete jerk, whether he means to or not. Just seems to be his nature.

I would agree Durant seems to be the most down to earth of all these NBA stars. Carmelo is up there as well (from what I've seen and heard). Wade fell off a couple of notches IMHO because he helped manipulate this. Everything is "I" or "me."

But again, I'll be tuning in just like the rest of you, whether you care to admit it or not. I'm just making it known I'm a *****.

LAS VEGAS (AP)—Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says the NBA should examine how free agents LeBron James (notes), Chris Bosh (notes) and Dwyane Wade (notes) all ended up with the Miami Heat.

Cuban tells a group of reporters at the NBA’s summer league in Las Vegas that he intends to ask the league’s Board of Governors to inquire about the situation.

According to a story posted on the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s website Sunday, Cuban says the league needs to develop more definitive rules governing the issue of player tampering.

NBA owners are scheduled to meet Monday in Las Vegas.

You mean the NWO event in Miami? No that was full of class on so many levels. Took me back 18 years to highschool man.

No but some close friends who are cool as hell and whose opinion I completely trust have told me that. In his home, hanging out.

Have you never trusted the opinion of someone else? C'mon man right back.

Pre-conceived notions or not, if a long-time friend who has a good head on his shoulders tells me that so and so is a certain way, and I ask them for specifics, I'd believe them depending on the story.

It's all relative. When I asked David Stern to take a picture with my younger brother, he rushed us.

I don't blame him for wanting to oblige and get away from a couple of strangers. I wouldn't think he's a jerk for it though.

BTW, Grays ain't what it once was.

Papaya King is just as solid now.

Gotta agree, was there last week and left slightly dissapointed.

Also, I really have to thank everyone in here for keeping me entertained while I'm waiting for NCAA Football 11 to come out. Shout out to Wheelman, Starlin4, KingBMack, Born, Pared, anyone else I'm sorry if I missed you.
