The LeBron James Thread

[WTF]

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Wade was one of the Team USA players who’d watch incredulously as James would throw a bowl of fries back at a renowned chef and bark, “They’re cold!” Or throw his sweaty practice jersey across the court and command a team administrator to go pick it up. Everyone wants James to grow out of it, but he’s never showed much of an inclination for self-examination and improvement. And he’s never surrounded himself with people who’d push him to do so.

What? That's pathetic if true.

[ehh]

Re: The LeBron James Saga

WTF, I'm sure you read the "inside the decision" stuff and how Team USA nearly kicked LeBron off the team in '04 because he was so childish. This incident was probably from that time.

And surprise, surprise: LeBron James has responded with a test of his own organizational strength, pushing to see how far the Heat will bend to his will. This season, James is hearing a word seldom uttered to him in Cleveland: “No.” And it keeps coming out of the coach’s mouth, keeps getting between the King and what he wants.

Can I stay overnight to party in New Orleans after a preseason game?

Can I play the clown in practice?

Can I get out of playing point guard?

No. No. No.

Wait, what?

No, LeBron.

No.

These articles if anything else, are good entertainment for me to read.

Oh hey look at that, way to be a smart ***. The conversation is about ESPN not something coming off the Miami Heat website that every other team in the league does every year. Nobody posts anything like that when it's the Lakers or Raptors or whoever doing it but we're supposed to post that for the Heat to meet some quota of not piling on? C'mon Baseline you're better than that.

Why delete your post Pack? Like I said im not as sensitive about the situation.as some lol.....say what you want man, no sleep lost here over this nonsense, I promise.

For the record, I absolutely said nothing about Bron getting a pass from ESPN. My point was more toward believing everything they say when its anti LeBron....I was saying no, I dont fly off the handle when I hear a report or rumor either way....yall took your own versions of my post and ran with it.

And again I wanna know exactly at what point has ESPN posted a positive story about the Heat since LeBron joined and everyone has said 'oh it's BSPN no big deal.' Since 'anti-LeBron' started what has ESPN posted about him or the team that's a positive that everyone has brushed off as not true cause it's ESPN. If you're going to come in here trying to accuse people of doing something like that then you need to come harder than 'oh the last 90 pages' and your flippant 'oh I don't fly off the handle' or 'I don't take this stuff seriously like it's my life' attitude. In the grand scheme of things no one is losing any sleep over what's happening with the Heat or any of these topics. This is a basketball message board when someone logs on here, of course they're going to discuss hot topics in basketball. It doesn't mean when guys log off we're sitting around at home arguing with ourselves about the Heat or whatever.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

24, you are a great poster and everything, but LeBron deserves every bit of bad press he's getting right now.

He's acting like a child and deserves to be whipped up and down the media with the way he treated this offseason, like they just had to show up and win a title.

LeBron needs this to focus on basketball. His brand is failing because of him. Dude is getting an eyeful of what Cleveland protected him from and he's acting like a ****ing child.

Until he grows up, he will continue to be made an example of.

Re: Official Chant Sheet LeBron Cleveland

Outside of the Akron Hates You chant, people are trying to make this too difficult.

Just yell profanities and curse at him. Don't make it too complicated.

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...THAT Guy]

Re: Official Chant Sheet LeBron Cleveland

I pray that this is legit lol. It will warm my heart.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Psh, could have fooled me, lol. Honestly I can have any attitude I want on it....youve been on your anti LeBron tip this whole time and ill maintain my "flippant" stance....as you said, this is a message board. Im done though man, my view is clearly against the tone of this thread, its a lose lose. Im cool with that...let the hate continue...

[The 24th Letter]

Re: The LeBron James Saga

OS, I can actually respect that man.....especially from you....and its not so much that im defending LeBron....dude needs a reality check. Its just the nature of the bashing, but as I said, ill fall back...

Re: The LeBron James Saga

People are such hypocrites. Everybody is piling on now. Every person wants to air LeBron laundry now. If he has always been this way where were all these reports and write ups? The people who allow him to behave like a child is just a guilty. So if you wanted LeBron on your team even though you were aware of his "naricassistic childish behaviour" you are just as bad as he is if not worse.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

I been anti-LeBron the whole time? Pretty sure I was beating the hell out of the GO LeBron drum before he gut punched everyone who's ever stood up for him and supported him in his NBA career with the biggest heel turn in sports history.

But okay whatever we'll leave this alone since it seems to be dipping into negative/personal thing.

In fairness, I don't think anyone knew LeBron was THIS bad and his ego had gotten THIS outta control outside of anyone who was maybe in Cleveland for the last seven years and LeBron himself has done a fantastic job of hiding exactly what he is to the masses for a long time. It's like Tiger Woods, not many people if anybody knew exactly what kind of guy Tiger was before last November or whenever the accident was.

Just putting out the positive my man, of course I'm being a smart *** though that's the tone of this thread for the last 150 pages, so much snark and hatred going around here for what? an egotistical athlete? lol

Don't spread the hate, spread the positive.

My thing is if reporters and sports writers let it slide then dont raise hell now. One minute LeBron is the greatest guy in sports then he leaves a team via FA now he's the worst guy in sports. Now ever little thing he says or does is proof. If he was this large of a tool like it's being reported and this is old stuff from the Olympics why now?
