Alot like Cliff Lee leaving my Rangers and going to the Phillies, I can't be mad or blame him either. When you have the chance to be apart of something historic, you do it.

BS. First of all LeBron was the one that quit so saying the team being heartless is the reason he left is as I said BS. As for taking your chance to be apart of something historic, okay. So leading a all-time fuitile franchise to it's first championship ever isn't historic? Going to the media's favorite franchise (the Knicks) and leading them back to a championship isn't historic?

You are smarter than this. The only Cavalier that quit in the playoffs was LeBron. He knew he was going to Miami anyway and decided he had enough.

Who showed up in the post season last year the year before? I still have yet to see the film of LeBron quiting ,but let say he quit like everybody says. That's two games in 4years of having his team and coach letting him down.

Like I said this is why he left. Nobody will do it alone and that team wasn't close to being championship worthy.

Didn't the whole team refuse to foul at the end even when Brown was calling for it?

game 1 - 35 pts 7 rebs 7 ast fga/m 12-24
game 2 - 24 pts 7 rebs 7 ast fga/m 7-15
game 3 - 38 pts 8 rebs 7 ast fga/m 14-22
game 4 - 22 pts 9 rebs 8 ast fga/m 7-18
game 5 - 15 pts 6 rebs 7 ast fga/m 3-14
game 6 - 27 pts 19rebs 10 ast fga/m 8-21

I think quit is too strong of a word, maybe played bad one game but definitely not quitting.

Yes. But with that team it was as LeBron went, so did the rest of the team. If LeBron didn't quit, those other guys weren't going to.

Those stats mean nothing. If you actually saw the game, you would know. Just go search for the playoffs game discussion thread.

This. I really had nothing against LeBron until that playoff series. It was depressing to watch him just throw in the towel.

Watched every game in their entirety and I only saw one bad game and that was five and he also was hurt in the game with a bad elbow. Quitting means you did nothing, tried to do nothing and refused to do nothing and that clearly not the case. He had a bad game and his teammates didnt step up when he needed them to, you cant expect godly numbers from him every game especially in the playoffs his teammates have to help him when he has a bad night.

I'm not expecting "godly numbers" every game. All I ask for is a good effort, and at least looking like you want to win would be nice as well. For almost a full 7 years LeBron did that, except for the end of the Boston series.

If you really want me to find video showing you how there was a lack of effort on his part then I will, but I thought it was pretty obvious he quit.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Sorry for the double post, but I can't add this video below the one in my post when I try to edit it for some reason.

Anyways, Chuck sums things up pretty well:

Jesus.....here we go again. He should just stop talking about it and do it.

He isn't going to do it though. If he really wanted to do it, he would have done it years ago. But instead he wants to **** with everybody and make it look like he wants to do it, but then back out at the last second with some BS excuse.

LOL @ "wear & tear" from a dunk contest. C'mon son.

WOW at that video

Reminds me of NFL Films....you can make a 3-0 win look like one of the greatest games of all time with enough commentary and camera cuts...
