I heard that after the game, DWade asked leBron if he had change for a dollar? Lebron reached in his pocket, and found he was lacking a fourth quarter:)

People were surveyed what were they gonna do when they went back to their lives? Most common answer was, quit work 12 minutes early:)

Peoria Chiefs lampoon LeBron James

Pretty fantastic.

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6661570

For one night, fans of the Peoria Chiefs can have their own replica of LeBron James' first championship ring.
Call it the cheapest promotion in sports history because, like James' ring, the handout doesn't exist.

The Chiefs, a Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in the Midwest League, will hold a LeBron James NBA Championship Replica Giveaway night on Thursday, poking fun at the Miami Heat star's loss in the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

"Replica rings" -- also known as air -- will be handed out by stadium workers as fans enter the park, according to Chiefs spokesman Nathan Baliva.

Throughout the game, Peoria will honor "a true champion," the Chicago Bulls' six NBA titles with video clips and audio highlights and the Chiefs will take the field to "Sirius," the Alan Parson Project song used by the Bulls during their player introductions.

The Chiefs said they are "looking into" whether they can skip the fourth inning to poke fun at James, who scored just 18 points during the fourth quarter in six NBA Finals games.
"We aren't sure if the league will allow it," Peoria president Rocky Vonachen said in a statement. "But if LeBron doesn't need to show up for the fourth, maybe we won't either."

Among the other James promotional digs planned: A fan will win a "replica" of James' Finals MVP award (which actually went to the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki), and Heimlich maneuver classes will be offered to help prevent people from "choking in a big situation."

"Really this is just us getting back to the real world and waking up today and trying to solve our own personal problems," vice president of ticket sales Eric Obalil said.

Baliva said a Bulls tribute for Thursday was in the works since November with the hope that Chicago would be coming off another NBA championship.

The James addition to the promotion was announced midday Tuesday, and Baliva said there was an immediate reaction.

"We were seeing stuff not just from Chicago and Cleveland but all over the country," Baliva said.

I think that "classy" and "unclassy" get thrown around the interweb tubes far too often, and it's had the negative effect of kind of neutering the words' meaning which is unfortunate.

Because, short of actual criminal activity or intent to injure another player, The Queen's tweets about "still waking up filthy rich" and "all you people going back to your miserable lives" (not going to bother looking up exact quote) have to be some of most classless, gutless, punk words ever uttered by a professional ball player in my over 30 years of watching sports.

The man is nothing more than a semi-literate, self-worshipping punk.

This is just part of my problem with LeBron James.

He left Cleveland, we suck now. But my issues go deeper than that. Going to Miami to win championships is one thing. Putting on a circus, televising it, and behaving so pretentiously are the actions of someone trying to convince themselves they are doing this for the right reasons.

What this was always about was only having to play 80-90% on a nightly basis. Being lazy.

And this mother fucker made his millions off of us average Joe's. So he stabs us in the back in a completely classless manner, proceeds to twist the knife by participating in one of the biggest spectacles I have ever seen in regards to free agency, and is surprised that people are happy he didn't get what he wants? Then he has the audacity to degrade us for being middle or lower class?

LeBron James may have the raw talent and ability to be the GOAT. But he will never have the work ethic or the desire to achieve that potential. I've seen it said before and I'll repeat it: LeBron James doesn't care enough about losing to win. He may be able to do incredible things on the court, but I've rarely seen him in the form I remember Jordan in when the game was on the line. You knew where the ball was going and nobody doubted he would pull it off, it was just a matter of when. You were glued to the screen to catch that moment because it was coming. With LeBron, you never know. More often than not, you won't see it. His incredible 3-pointer to end the second half against the Magic last year in the playoffs was followed up with lackluster play total laziness.

Still too angry to pity him, but I would if I could. I may live a missed paycheck or two from difficult times, but I do it with some integrity. LeBron James hasn't worked a day in his life as hard as I do every day. I work 45 hours a week to support my two (with one on the way) children and my wife that is a full-time student. I put on the uniform one weekend per month and 15 days a year. I could have stopped doing it years ago, I've already got my bachelor's degree, but it is part of who I am now. I'm taking 8 hours per semester, including summer, to get my Master's degree. I'm often up until 2 or 3 AM at night finishing homework to make sure I have time for my family in the evenings. I do all of this because I want what is best for my family. Because the people I love and care about mean something. Because I didn't grow up with nothing better to do than play sports and I wasn't blessed with 6'6" frame. When I hit 14, I was told to get a job if I wanted new clothes for school. My parents decided I was old enough to take care of myself as long as they provided a roof and meals.

I'm just like the majority of the people on here. I wake up every day in the real world and do everything I can to solve my own personal problems.

While I'm not a big believer in curses and the like, there may be something to having LeQuit take the unfortunate occurrences to Miami with him. That draft pick from the Clippers had a what, 1 in 500 or something chance of being #1 and it was.

And the Tribe is surprising people too, if you stay out of the current season thread :wink:

Oh, and Peyton Hillis got on the cover of Madden in an upset.

I've come up with a theory (based on nothing but casual observation) that the city of Cleveland can only sustain a certain level of athletic success at one time.

When the Cavs are good, the Indians and Browns blow at a proportional level. Now that the Cavs tanked, the Indians have been surprisingly good.

The good news about the Indians starting to tank is that I think it bodes well for the Browns having a decent season.

If Cleveland is ever going to win a championship, 2 out of the 3 teams are going to have to be really, really bad. Mediocre just won't cut it because that hogs too much of the success that the city is able to maintain.
