Quote:
Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I’m their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.

I'm glad he made his decision today, it means the dominoes are going to fall sooner and we can move on from this madness.

LeBron seems like he has no dignity going back to an owner who took a giant (bleep) on him, and is only now just showing remorse. Still, I'm glad LeBron is back with the Cavs, I'm a sucker for perfect fits like this. When the greatest basketball prospect of all time falls into the laps of his hometown team, that's the kind of luck that shouldn't be wasted by it breaking up while still in his prime.

I can't stand Dan Gilbert. He through a tantrum when LeBron left. He complained about the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers, didn't think that was fair to teams like his. So Stern nixed that trade. I hope somebody, somewhere calls him out on his bull today.

The Cavs have 4 number one picks on their roster (none of which are past their prime). Let that sink in.

I'm not. If he'd waited until Monday the Rockets would have been screwed. The dominoes are falling, but not in our favor.

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
tell the World I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
tell the World I’m coming

Back where I belong
I’ve never felt so strong eh
feeling like there’s nothing that I can’t try
and if you feel me put your hands high, high, high, hey
and if you feel me put your hands high, high, hey

Actually I agree with you. (bleep) them all, their not Lakers. They are still in Cleveland for crying out loud, what a joke of a town. We are LA.

Streaks on the china
Never mattered before
Who cares
When you drop kicked your jacket
On your way to the door
No one glared
But sometimes things get turned around
And NO ONES SPARED!
All heads look out belowowowow
There's a change in the status quo-owowow
Gonna need all the help that You can GET
According to our new arrival
Life is more than mere survival
And we might just live the good life, yeah!

LeBron: "I have a connection to Northern Ohio that is bigger than basketball."

Translation: I would rather play with Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins, and Dion Waiters than a washed up Dwyane Wade."

Wade opted out of $40 million for nothing


LOL @ Lebron. I can't stand him, but his PR and management is ON POINT.

He gets to be the hero, restore his image, get more media coverage thanks to this decision. Meanwhile, he and his camp made his free agency look as if it was some relaxed affair when it was a carefully crafted move.

Lebron, Nike, Dan Gilbert, NBA, ESPN, and all of his other endorsers and media boosters, are the real winners.

Exactly.

And anyone else who's falling for his bullbleep letter is a naive sucker. Lebron is an opportunist of the worst kind. He'll dump you in a scond if you don't serve his purpose anymore (That's what narcissists do). Dbag will always be a Dbag.
