LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Easily the worst take I've ever encountered here or anywhere. So KD purposely doesn't play dominantly and costs himself a good chance at a championship...so he can play dominantly for a championship somewhere else?

The concept of logic needs a rape counselor after that one.

Is it "the worst take"?? I guess lebron really played his best against Boston when he left to take his talents to South beach. Yeah he gave it his all, he brought his A game, right.. That team could have won the championship that year or come been real competitive.

Look at Kyrie this last playoffs.. You think he brought his A game?

Its not hard to blow games while looking like you are trying.

LeBron is a master at blowing games while making it look like he cared. He can put up 30-9-8 without much sweat in a losing effort. Intentionally.

But hey, I guess players throwing games and series' is an unheard of thing. Bron never did it. Kobe never did it. Kyrie never did it. KD never did it.

Why would KD play lights out then suddenly play like he forgot how to put the ball in the basket. He already knew he was leaving.

But I'll let you think what you want.

LeBron is my favorite player so I'll root for him. I hope that he breaks the scoring record and wins a couple more rings. Another MVP would be cool too. Whether he's an asshole off the court or full of himself doesn't matter to me because I don't have to be around him. I just really enjoy watching him play basketball.

I understand liking Lebron and all that, but dont you think Kawhi joining him AND AD makes him getting a couple more rings pretty cheap? Well, hell, lets just let him have Lillard and Bradley Beal too. Might as well. Why stop at just Kawhi? Lets make it a literal All- Star team. And on of all teams and group of fans.....Los Angeles. For myself, a lifelong Cavs fan, picturing the whole thing absolutely sucks.
 
Remember when carlos boozer packed his bags and went to Utah for the $$$? And all Cavs fans hated him and made him out to be the bad and selfish guy? And then recently, it came out, and come to find out, the whole time, it was lebron that told him to leave and follow the money? and you silly lebron fans think he cares about you? lol

Oh oh! Remember that time when lebron had his team leak to the media that he tried to recruit Bosh to come to Cleveland? But come to find out, Bosh him self said that was not true? That that was a lie? :laugh:

Man, hes also a liar lol but we should already know that from his "Coming Home" letter lol but you know, some people love lies so much that they post them on their bedroom walls.

Let me ask you something. Will you like it if Kawhi does go to the Lakers pretty much ensuring Lebron another couple rings? Whats your opinion on this possible LA superteam?

It's not going to guarantee squat...didn't people learn anything from this past finals about teams with no depth?

It's not any cheaper than the two Golden State stole from him while he was in Cleveland. 3 if you want to count what could have happened in 2018 without Durant shaking up the entire league.

Agree; count how many players the 2017 Dubs had who are better than Kyle Kuzma.

Now count the number who are better than....um, well, whomever LAL's 5th best player would be.

Yup. Lakers will totally lack depth and that's important. People say it doesn't matter because you go only 7 deep in the playoffs. Well even with a Lebron-AD-Kawhi big three, four of those seven are going to suck.

"Suck"? That's an overstatement. If Kawhi goes to the Lakers, you already know quality players / vets will go there for the cheap. Don't use such a word to try to understate the foolery LeBron is doing, again.

You must REALLY hate LeBron to be happy about Durant stopping your team (assuming you're a Cavs fan) from winning more championships. A bit weird to me, but to each their own I suppose.

Winning isn't everything. I'm a cavs fan regardless if we win or lose.

Basketball to me is entertainment and cardio, fun competition. Its not life.

And When you have a man on your team, running around like a bull in a China shop, I'm a man about moral and principle before a sportstown success. Justice and judgment before sports town success. Let me further explain before you "lol".

When you have this man of his social stature acting like a complete fool, it sends the wrong message to everybody watching. And since he's LeBron James playing in the NBA, his foolishness reaches millions and millions of people, even world wide.

Just look at the league... He has single handedly changed the league and how players do things and How it's run.

Trying to strong arm franchises to do things his way. Kudos to Riley for not backing down from his punk self. "Get back in line and have a seat. I run this team. You just play for it. You will do things as I say. Not the other way around." That's it, That's all.

The amount of lives and families he has played with by his foolishness. Getting people fired, the amount of players he got traded. His arrogance.. I mean, I don't want to have to repeat my self.. But I think you get it. Hes a horrible role model. A disgusting one, to be truthful.

I rather be a young team striving to grow and win than watch his product and have to endure his foolishness all year round in losing in the finals efforts. Even that championship was a little bitter sweet because of this guy.

There have been rapists and domestic batterers in the NBA who are beloved by millions of fans, but LeBron is a "horrible role model" and "disgusting", because he's "arrogant". Got it. No one complains about loyalty when GMs ship out players without a second thought. It's only a problem when players take their futures into their own hands.

Not really. I mean, a lot of people were laughing at lebron on here all season and talking about how he's "semi-retired" and "doesn't care about basketball anymore". Now that he got AD and might get Kawhi it's a problem?

Didnt people say the same thing when the Heat formed the big 3? They wont have any depth, the bench will suck. Then here came the Mike Millers of the world and it all worked out. The same type thing will happen.

1- you are trying to compare "incidents" to a man's ways.

And who raped who???

2- the GM who trades players, blah blah blah.. Heard the same cry before. Hes the GM. Its the nature of the business. Its the GMs job to run and construct the team. Not the players.

So lets just make it nice and easy for him to get those rings right? Kawhi going there absolutely butchers the league. Makes a mockery of it. All last season when Lebron was miserable i knew what would happen this year. I knew they would trade for AD and then sign that 3rd star. i didnt however think it would the best player in the league. I just dont know how anybody but Laker fans can want to see this happen. I really dont.

Cap'n Hennessey at nearly 35, and Melo and Iggy at 36 years old <<< early 30s Mike Miller and catch-and-shoot Ray Allen.

Not to mention that the one place where CA/NY/etc will come short with FAs is with vet minimum players, as that pay is barely enough to live the "NBA lifestyle" in there - for starters there is a 13.3% difference in pay from MIA due to taxes.
