It's not a question of hating or liking LeBron. I am a native Ohioan and I wish LeBron the best of luck. He's a 25 year old that wants the night life and party atmosphere of south beach. Perfectly understandable. He wants to hang with his boys, perfectly understandable. He gave us 7 years of winning and to the Cavs credit, they really pursued every avenue they could to get the players around LeBron to get the ring. Unfortunately there really were not many options until this year's free agent class and we all know what happened.
LeBron grew up a Yankees fan and understands that the Yanks assembled greatness through free agenecy and is just following that model. I just wish he could have handled his exit from Ohio and his hometown with more class. The whole "decsion show" was a circus. If LeBron did not want to stay here, that's cool, just man up and tell us. Don't make us wait till all the big name free agents are off the market and then not tell the owner and make him wait till the night of the circus. Not cool at all. Then have your agent call the Cavs and not have enough balls to do it yourself, really not cool. I have been told that the circus show raised over 6 million from advetisements. It would have been much cooler if LeBron just scratched of a 6 mill check to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America in the Miami area and then announced that is where he intends to play at a standard press conference. By the way, I have been told the boys and Girls Club only received the scholarships from the U of Phoenix and a 1/2 mill. Who got the rest of the profits?
Not hating, just wish the 25 yr old kid would have exited with more class and Dan Gilbert just kept his mouth shut. Gilbert acted on emotion rather than logic, but, if LeBron would have sacked up, all this could have been avoided. Memo to Gilbert, two wrongs do not make a right.
GL LBJ, I hope you get all the tail you want in South Beach and maybe a ring or two after a few years of almost getting there with the Heat.
Yes, he should have not done the show, but it got GREAT ratings, and he should have told the owner, but nobody is perfect. Time to move on!!!

Dude, I see you are in Florida so of course you will be all over him. I am a hater but the majority of the country sees this guy for the a-hole he is. It won't work with his ego and D. Wades ego. Soon the biggest ego of all will be on your sideline when Riles takes over as head coach to satisfy his enormous ego.

I agree. He is not trying to be MJ. I don't think anyone can find a tape anywhere where he is on record saying I want to be MJ...I want to be the greatest of all time.
That being said, I do think his numbers at the end of this career will be spectacular and unrilvaled by any other player (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks).
But MJ will remain the greatest of all time.
True, if anyone is trying to be MJ it is Kobe, he talks like him, and has his mannerisms.......

I'm actually not a HEAT fan, I live in Florida but in Tallahassee, which is like being in South Georgia. It will be great to watch this year!!
