I'm sorry? Where is your point? He resides, works and is licensed to practice law in Michigan... Where exactly did he leave his hometown for something involving his career?

Loyalty isn't only to where you're born. It can be to any person, place or thing that you care about and are strongly tied to. It isn't that he left his hometown- it's that he left his TEAM. He stood up in Akron, accepted an MVP trophy and talked about how every person shared in the success the team had had in the regular season. He talked about how they were brothers to him, and how much he loved being a part of it. Then, he stood by while they got stomped by an aging Celtics team, and started pointing fingers. At his team, at the fans, at the coach- then he decides to leave and doesn't have the balls to personally tell the owner of his team that he's going.

LOYALTY is looking beyond your own feelings and desires and looking out for your friends, and people you care about, and people who have always been there for you. It's getting past your own ego and doing what it takes to work together to build something up when you really care about it. He did none of that. Dan Gilbert had every reason to call him a traitor.

Wow. I really couldn't have said it better. He's gonna regret this for the rest of his life. Who the fuck else do the Heat have on their roster besides the big ego 3?

Not if he wins, Irish. He'll never regret it if he wins.

He's never gonna be able to come home again without knowing he let his hometown down.

He pooped in the bathwater and it's gonna float there for the rest of his life.

This is probably being made into a bigger deal than it is. I do agree that he shouldn't have had a one our special. And he should of told Cavs he wasn't resigning before hand. But I don't really blame him. I would be sick of that shitty team. Not one person I would be scared to defend besides him. He justs wants a damn ring so he can shut up the people that say he can't be great without one.

What the fuck are you talking about? Shitty team? They've been to the playoffs every year for six years. They made it to the conference finals how many times and to the NBA finals once! He gave up on his team this year just to use it as an excuse when he skips town.

I'm so annoyed with sportscenter right now. The ONLY thing that they've been talking about yesterday (and today) is LeBron signing with the heat. I mean if you watch an hour of sportscenter today 80% will be about LeBron... 5% will be about the NFL rankings...10% will be MLB game results... and the last 5% will be about the world cup. Sportscenter is bullshit!

Oh my god I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into you guys. Do you honestly, and please be honest....blame him? He put his entire soul into Cleveland, he played basketball there his whole life. Let's face it the last time the Cavs were in the playoffs was 5 years before Lebron showed up, and when he did he immediately made an impact. The Cavs finished 3 spots higher in their Division, and raised their winning percentage and he also was the first Cav to win Rookie of the Year, not bad for a kid right outta high school. The next season he once again was involved in their better winning percentage and they finished the season higher in the Division than they did the previous year. The next 5 years all involve playoff appearances including a 2006 season where they won their first ever Eastern Conferance Championship (I betcha you guys all were patting Lebron on the back then) Lebron continues to win awards (and also mind you in Lebron's entire career no other teammate ever won an individual award, aside from Mike Brown's gimme Coach of the year 66-16!!!)and was also the only Cav to win the Player of the Year award, which he won 2 times in a row. To tell me that he is a traitor, coward, narcissist, average player is just not logical, in fact it's absolutely insane. I do understand the pain of watching your team fall apart, I am in fact from New York home of the "CHOKE" but to burn his jersey like he is some kind of child killer is tasteless and cements Ohio as "Craziest Fans in Sports". To top off the circus currently stopping in Ohio for the next oh 2 months, you have Dan Gilbert....my god this man is such a puppet master, a suave snakeoil salesman reminds me of a stupider Pat Reily. He writes this seething propoganda filled with every unimaginable disgrace to a player he should be on his knees thanking for his revenue and you guys believed him. What could you offer Lebron? NOTHING, in the 5 years that the Cavs where making the playoffs and super hot, he coulda snagged at least 1 or 2 reliable "Toni Kukoc" type guys and cement Lebrons place in Cleveland. What does he do? He lets CARLOS BOOZER walk the year before Lebron gets drafted, he then goes on to sign bargain basement bench role players and rookies who never work out. Of course Lebron quit this year, what is the point? He plays every minute of every game, is expected night in and night out to be "the guy" and make "that shot", you know what sometime Jordan passed to Pippen, Bird dished it to Mchale, Magic no looked to Worthy. Who the fuck could Lebron COUNT on amoung those guys? Really who, and please be honest with yourself and have facts to prove any nominees. I honestly cannot think of another player who has done what Lebron has done thus far, he just about single handedly supported a franchise, he took those guys and gave them confidence and support. He turned the "Jordan's Game Winner" into "Game 5 win over Detriot" amoungest the fanbase and really made the whole state believe they could win a championship. Then he left, because he wants to be able to actually win a championship, can you again blame him? I could once again explain just how many times Dan Gilbert failed all of you, but you'll prolly just be too busy shooting flaming arrows at targets of Lebron's face. It all boils down to being upset that you know the Cavs are not going to win a championship before Lebron does (and that line I think the term ROFL was penned exactly for moments like that) I understand that pain once again CHOKEtown resident, but you guys are getting all into it and making fools of yourselves, you can create this fable of The Day Lebron turned into Satan, but get real, the dude wants to win, he is taking less money and ready for a shoulder to lean on, its been a long 7 years and standing so tall for so long can really make your legs tired. Just have some respect for the game and yourselves, he is still from Ohio and will always be it's his home, stop acting like those yokels from frankenstein and beat some kids games or something.

Yeah so anyway...

I got tickets for the Tigers game on Sunday against the Twinkies (Twins). I cant wait. I love going to games.

I hope we win the series to put the Twinkies into a bigger whole. Then all we have to do is worry about the White Sox

I have no care for basketball. If basketball died, I would not be sad. Just pissed off that ESPN would be full of stories of basketball dying.

I get so happy when the season ends so ESPN isnt full of basketball this, and basketball that. All the top 10 plays, that have basketball plays that look EXACTLY the fucking same as the last one.

I'm all about Baseball, Football, and Hockey.

But yeah, im not doubting the White Sox. They are good (all of a sudden

). Its a 3 team marathon for the AL Central now, thats why I hope we can trash the Twinkies this month. That way its all about the Sox, and Tigers.

HUGE WALL OF TEXT.

I would've liked to read your most likely well thought out and super intelligent post and have a discussion over its contents, but unfortunately this was all I saw.

Goddamn dude, spaces and paragraph separation for Christ's sake.

Personally, I think LeBron realized that he is just a glorified second fiddle. He'll settle in as a defender and passer. He'll look better than Pippen and go down in history as the greatest number 2 of all time. Number 2 team leader to Jordan, and now a number 2 to Dewayne Wade. It's so unfortunate that he never realized his potential since he is far more gifted than either of them.

He'll fill up on triple-doubles, throw down a few thunder dunks so sportscenter doesn't forget him, and watch helplessly as real TEAMS like the Celtics, Magic, and Lakers fill their fingers with rings. He'll go into the Hall of Fame wondering why his glorified D-league team never won it all.

He would've won in Chicago. He would've been a legend in Cleveland. He'll be number 2 in Miami.
