If I still lived in akron, I would vote against every one of those morons. And if that sounds bitter, its because it is. Still not over it.... not sure when, if ever.

Maybe I will get over it if his career goes the way of grant hill.

What a [censored]ing joke. This is why local politics are a joke and Parks and Recreation is even a show. I work with local government every day. Nobody cares about a resolution supporting LeBron James. He is a damn sphincter and I bite my thumb at him. My brother in-law said something two nights ago that made me fly off the handle. He was talking about a free agent in baseball, and when someone asked if he could actually go to a certain team he said "he is a free agent, he can go anywhere he wants." I put on the giant voice and said he absolutely cannot, at least not if he made promises to the fans, the city, and the team. The point is, I'm not over it and judging on my reaction that was probably only 51% emotional I probably won't ever be.

All this guy does is put a rubber ball in a metal hoop very well. He is USELESS to society.

Best comment, ever--and one for all the Clevelanders, who thought he was going to be some form of miracle economic cure for the city, to think about.

Cities like NY, Chicago and LA have the pro sports franchises they do (ok, Cubs excepted) because of the cities that they are in the first place. They aren't major metropolises because of their sports franchises. Lebron was never going to do anything for the city of Cleveland other than--maybe--give it a little bit of hollow and fleeting pride in the wake of a championship. Perhaps now, they can get down to some real solutions and the accompanying hard work necessary to get the city back on the right track rather than pinning their hopes on the tattooed back of some barely literate man-child.

more on the lebron partying in vegas, taking shots of patron, drinking champagne, being a douche, etc.

http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/columns/story?id=5416131

Bottle after bottle of "Ace of Spades" champagne is delivered to the table by a waiter flying down from above the dance floor like some overgrown Peter Pan on a wire. One time he's dressed like a King, another time as Indiana Jones and another in a replica of James' No. 6 Miami Heat jersey.
James, who can hardly see the flying figure through his tinted glasses, almost gets kicked in the head on the waiter's last trip down. He looks at the girls around him and says, "I wish they'd have one of these girls with no panties do that instead of the guy."
Toward the end of the night, Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis walks past James' party and looks at the scene up and down several times like a painting in a museum, soaking in the images of the go-go dancers, the "King" sign and the costumed man delivering bottles of champagne.
Davis shakes his head and walks on.
James dances on the couch and sings along with the music blaring from speakers all around him.

EDIT:
LOL...hilarious...ESPN has already taken down the article and will no doubt be revising it...i will let you know if there are any changes

EDIT 2: since they deleted the article i found some of the experts...sorry if this is a long post...and this is not the whole thing

James will host a party later in the upstairs nightclub at Tao, but he is currently hosting a dinner for his friends and family in the downstairs restaurant. Wearing a grey striped shirt and gold crucifix around his neck, he bobs his head to music played by an amped-up saxophonist who weaves his way around the table like a one-man mariachi band. I have somehow found myself at this exclusive table, seated beside Eddie Jackson, who is introduced to me as James' father (though he actually began dating James' mother, Gloria, after LeBron was born and the two are no longer together). Jackson, wearing a muscle shirt accentuating his large biceps, looks like a member of James' four-man entourage, like one of his childhood friends. James' circle includes Randy Mims, seated to his right at the center of the table, Maverick Carter, seated at the head of the table, and Richard Paul, seated in front of James. The quartet makes up the initials behind LRMR Marketing, the management firm James founded almost four years ago with his buddies. Their offices in downtown Cleveland gained notoriety earlier this month as the location teams flocked to for their meetings with James.
Seated to the right of James is Chris Paul, whose brother, C.J., is seated across from him. The New Orleans Hornets point guard reportedly has seen how James has positioned himself to win a championship by signing with the Miami Heat and joining forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and has reportedly considered a similar move himself. The truth is, in James' dream world, the duo he would love to play with for the next decade would be Wade and Paul, his two closest friends in the NBA. Paul has been like a brother to James since the two were in Las Vegas four years ago for USA Basketball training camp, when as a rookie he carried James' and Wade's bags to and from the team bus.Soon after arriving at Lavo, a restaurant and nightclub at the Palazzo, a scene straight out of West Side Story breaks out when James and Lamar Odom, seated at a nearby table, engage in an impromptu dance-off to California Swag District's "Teach Me How To Dougie." Odom, smoking a cigar, can't quite keep up. James celebrates by crossing himself and taking a shot of Patron. Moments later, a handful of girls dressed as cheerleaders walk towards his table with someone dressed in James' Heat uniform. Someone throws talcum powder in the air as James does before every game, while his new unofficial song, "I'm in Miami" plays

I'm pretty sure Lebron's career as a premier player in the league is over. I think the player we saw against Boston is who he is going to be now. He didn't want the pressure of being the guy so now he is going to leave that to his husband. All you ever heard about him in the past was how hard he worked during the off season, but now it's all about how much he is partying. I'm going to laugh when Miami doesn't get the player on the floor that they thought they signed.

LeBron flips the bird to hometown fan - 19 Action News|Cleveland, OH|Breaking News, Weather, Exclusives

LeBron James gave one of his hometown fans something to talk about while partying in Vegas earlier this week. James was letting loose at Lavo Restaurant and Nightclub inside the Palazzo hotel Monday morning, July 26th around 3 a.m. when Canton, Ohio's Mix 94.1 FM radio personality "Fig" made the comment "Akron still loves you man."
The humble former King of Akron showed his appreciation by flipping Fig the bird with a great big smile.
