Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

He was then asked whether LeBron would still have good standing with Ohio State and the basketball team after what happened with his wild free agency this off-season. Matta said that he wishes LeBron would have stayed in Cleveland but they expect to continue their relationship with him.

?LeBron still loves Ohio and still loves Ohio State,? Matta said.

?We are a fan of him as a player, not just where is playing.?

I love Matta, but this does piss me off. Lebron never loved Ohio. I understand where Thad is coming from because he's a great recruiter and he knows many of the players he wants to attract probably look up to Mrs. Wade. But, out of spite, I wish my alma mater would separate itself from this fucking douchebag.

Chris Bosh told ESPN that he's working on a documentary on how he, Wade and LeBron James joined up with Miami. He said he taped his meeting with Riley and some of his talks with Wade and James.

OK, who is the biggest attention whore of the three? James...Wade....or...Bosh​

Bosh is such a strange bird. He wants to be popular and he wants to matter, but he doesn't. He tries so hard to be seen and noticed. His own thirst for fame is going to be his undoing when his documentary basically outs these guys and makes their collusion obvious.

Here come the calls to fire Matta...

Nobody with a level head is going to ask for that. I probably would have said the same thing in his position, anything else would have jeopardized recruiting amongst a world of other consequences.

I don't think he has a choice to say otherwise. Besides, if we haven't learned by now it is worth noting again: Ohio State coaches are the most political in the business when it comes to interviews.

King Vag actually did say if he couldn't go directly into the NBA from HS it would have been either OSU or Akron... and he said this at the time... not just recently

He also had ties because one of the HS Fab 5 (Sean Cotton) came here plus he was friends with Clarett

LeBron - I hope you never win a ping pong match let alone any titles... you pussy

He could have left out the part about Bitchmade loving Ohio and the university. Most seasoned politicians know not to shovel obvious BS.

I doubt Matta has even talked to Mrs. Wade. He's just assuming based on prior discussions. I've got a prior discussion for you:

I got a goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it.

Bitchmade is full of BS. As an alumnus, I would rather the university separate itself from this fucking circus. Its not like he's helping recruiting anyway when he's snuggled up next to Calipari on a Saturday night.

There is no reason to doubt his love for Ohio State...and Ohio State does not owe anything to Cavs fans.

Matta went to and coached at Butler. Did he stab his alma mater in the heart when he left? Want him to go back? Sheesh--I would much rather live in Miami than Akron too.

There's ample reason.

Where does this professed "love" come from? He didn't go to school here. His "hometown" as he like us to constantly know is Akron, not Columbus. His "friends" that went here didn't last here - as if that should qualify for "love" anyway.

And he doesn't have any credibility to claim love for Ohio or The Ohio State University. Most of what he has said over his career have been lies - whether its been his desire to win a title for Cleveland or his misleading statements about the Cavs having an "edge".

His bandwagon fandom is well documented, so its no surprise he would support a school with a successful athletic program. That's not love.

He's fucking Snoop Dogg or Will Ferrell. We're not USC. Get this guy the fuck out of here.

I didn't go to Ohio State and I wasn't even born in Ohio. Do I turn my fandom in to you or is there a local place I can go to?

Give it a rest.
