Not...really...

Sounds really promising for Cleveland and Chicago, though.

[ehh]

How are those quotes promising for Chicago? The Cavs and Clips are the only ones who should feel better from that interview.

Hmmm...we all see it differently.

Likely, it probably shouldn't make anyone feel better, because he didn't say much of anything. Any team's fan could twist his words to say he's coming to xxxx.

I really think he's playing the good people of Cleveland.

I feel he is as good as gone.

Chris Bosh was saying the same ****, but you know he is a goner.

He just doesn't want to seem like a bad guy.

Is it just me or does LeBron not embrace the city of Cleveland or the state of Ohio whatsoever. It may be nothing big, but just the fact that he is a Yankee and Cowboys fan rubs me the wrong way about him. It is kinda the feeling I get, but I may be wrong.

Why? Cleveland's teams have sucked for a long time (in his lifetime anyway) so if he liked another team because his hometown team was garbage isn't telling of anything. There is no law written down anywhere that you have to be a hardcore fan of whatever team is in your city/state. I also don't think he's playing the people of Cleveland. A lot of people in Cleveland are just idiots and taking this LeBron thing too far and are being unfair that this kid should have to handicap his future and career just for them because they act like they're going to need to be on suicide watch if he leaves. It's not LeBron's or any one person's (short of the mayor) job to keep Cleveland a relevant place in the country.

No one should feel better about that interview. It has 0 meaning.

There's a huge difference between Chris Bosh and Lebron.

One is on a top 3 team in the NBA while another has the worst management and long term supporting cast in the NBA. One is playing for his hometown and the other is playing for a team nobody wants to play for.

Chris Bosh has been gone for 2 years and every has known it. Lebron may very well be leaving, but if he is it's a very recent decision.

LOL at people analyzing those quotes. He's not saying anything, he's answering the questions that are asked in the most neutral and uncontroversial way possible. He said nice things about the Clippers because he was asked about the Clippers. He said the Cavs have an edge because what's he supposed to say about the team he's spent his whole career with.
