Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

Magua;1736556; said:
I had heard that he mentioned the Lakers initially but as you said, now it looks like LA is not even a possibility and he listed the Magic, Mavericks, and Blazers after the Knicks. All of those teams have stars already on their teams. This type of shit wasn't happening in the 80s and 90s when basketball wasn't a joke. People in general have become a joke. Athletes especially...

You sign a contract with a team? HONOR IT. After a couple years you decide you would rather go suck some other overpaid piece of shit's dick and get a free ring or live in a better city? fuck you. Pay me millions and i'll go play basketball in the fucking Congo for all I care.

But no...he'll get traded for two 1st round picks in 2020 and 2021 and go win a championship elsewhere tugging on someone else's cape.

Never thought i'd say it but i'm truely getting sick of professional sports. Football is still tolerable because well its Football but Basketball and Baseball are unwatchable now days.


hahahaha humans dont even have to use the catalog card system at the library to do research any more..... they fucking google it

I googled a catalog card

I can't believe someone would be this treacherous, I mean leaving your hometown to go someplace else... can it get any lower than this?

Mr. Rodriguez, have you met Mr. Saban? You two should chat. You share many of the same strong opinions regarding loyalty and honor.

LeBron James breaks final barrier for athlete freedom, Howard Bryant writes - ESPN

An article about LeBronze by Howard Bryant. I'm too tired after working all night to determine if its pro or anti LeBronze, my take is its a little of both.

A lot of it was fairly interesting. I do think that the writer tries way too hard in, after the fact, ascribing some deep intellectual thought process to James' decisions rather than seeing them for what they are: the emotionally based actions of a narcissistic man-child. Honestly, I have serious doubts that James could break a hundred on an IQ test much less have any deep historical perspective of his actions.

He's completely detached from reality, but Mrs. Wade appears to be fairly intelligent.

Bingo. My guess is that he went to Miami because (a) he thought it would be easier to win championships there and he didn't want to have to live with people (national media, not Cleveland fans) saying it was his fault if he stayed in Cleveland and didn't win a title, (b) he's friends with Wade and Bosh and wants to play with them, and (c) he thinks Miami is a more fun, cooler city to hang in than Cleveland. Nothing deeper than that is going on, IMO.
