[QUOTE="hillelslovak"] I'm not a basketball fan, but I do watch quite a bit of all the ESPN news channels, and I think people are way too hard on him. He always seemed to ask for better, higher quality players to surround him in Cleveland FOR YEARS, and they did nothing. Secondly, he always said he would weigh his options when his contract is over, and see where it takes him. Cleveland fans are just butt hurt because he went to the team that was best for him, and they lost their player. Seriously, they put on protests which looked like they were out of a christian bonfire ceremony. Burning his jerseys, crying and the like; pathetic. They need to get lives. IT'S BASKETBALLhillelslovak
First: They got him all the players he asked for. He had a hand in all the trades and signings they made.
Second: He kept that organization in the dark throughout the year, not giving a hint of whether he was staying or going. He didn't even tell them of his decision until 30 minutes before it went live. The Cavs organization were caught with their pants down and had to rebuild on the fly. That's a douchebagl move on Lebron's part.
Third: They're fans, that lost the best player they've ever had, who also promised them a championship ring. Of course they'll be hurt. You say you don't watch basketball yet patronize these Cleveland fans who have a pasison for it, and who are more pissed at HOW he handled his departure. THAT is pathetic, Mr. High Horse.
First off, if he didn't sign a new contract with the Cavs, then there was always a possibility that should have been prepared for. And if they were real fans of the team and the sport, they would have showed him disfavor when he was acting like a douche with all those special privilages with the organization. Secondly, I'm a boxing fan, so for you to say I'm on a high horse is insane. Boxing fans continually get robbed of huge fights that could help the sport. Mayweather Pacquiao would have been gigantic, but I don't see it happening. Boxing fans are used to be screwed over, and we don't complain about every tid bit like people from other sports. Lebron leaving Cleveland didn't hurt the sport, whereas Pacquiao-Mayweather not happening hurts the sport quite a bit. That's a completely different sport though, and not even a team sport for that matter. The reason why people give Lebron so much **** is because he never gave a **** about anyone, but himself. He wants to go off blaming the GM of the Cavs for him giving up in the playoffs last year. A picture of him is what you should see if you look up the word douche. He's an arrogant @$$hole who does nothing but blame his mistakes on others like he's a ****ing 10 year old. If someone close to him wouldn't agree with everything he says and stop brown-nosing him, maybe he would grow up. We all know that will never happen though.
