  • People jumping all over his crap amazes me..... what exactly has Gilbert done to help LeBron? Antwan Jamison? Delonte West? Varejo and his floppy hair? Please... Michael Jordan didnt start winning titles until he had legit help in the form of Pippen and Rodman. Hell Paul Pierce couldnt do it himself until the Celtics went out and got Garnett and Allen, and by drafting Rondo. Gilbert has nobody to blame but himself..... who did he lure via free agency to entice LeBron to stay? Answer - NOBODY.

    Gilbert to me seems more of a self-centered crybaby jerk of a person than LeBron ever will.......

    Time to move on...... and I guarantee you the Cavs will NOT win an NBA title before LeBron quits playing...... plain and simple. And this coming from a Cavs fan..... it is what it is.

    Oh, he's a sports villain now, for damn sure. No possibility of being a hero. He's about to be known as Everything That's Wrong With Sports.

    You're totally off base. He'll be a villain in Cleveland. He took less money and less of a role to win championships. How is it everything that is wrong about sports and not everything that is right about sports? Winning championships. He went to Miami to WIN and you have to understand that was a tough decision for him. Do you think he likes seeing his jersey burned? He almost broke down on national television when he first talked to Mike Wilbon. You can be bitter but don't be a dumb f.uck.

    Actually, from all the stuff I have seen and read, he is pretty much being blasted everywhere, and not just Cleveland, NY, Chicago and NJ, teams that he rebuffed to go to Miami. I have heard it from places like Minnesota, Oklahoma, Seattle, LA, Boston etc. etc. Most of it has to do with him rejecting his home town after paying so much lip service to it for so long. A little has to do with not choosing their city to come play. The rest of it has to do with how he orchestrated this whole thing and what a prima donna he appeared to be by having to have an hour special on ESPN.

    Scottie Pippin was like a middle round draft pick of the Seattle Supersonics out of Central Arkansas State that was traded his second year to the Bulls. Nobody thought that he was all that and a bag of chips, so don't tell us how the Bulls went and got this other "superstar" to play with Jordan. It was just fluke luck for the Bulls and Jordan that Pippen got to be such a good player. It would have been as if Shannon Brown had become some kind of super support star to LeBron. (the same for Rondo)

    As for who the Cavs lured here in Free Agency...have you ever heard of a guy named Shaquille O'Neal? He was only like 3 time MVP of the league? 4 time NBA champion? Considered possibly one of the 10 best players to ever play? Ever hear of him?

    OH, and Jordan and the Bulls had won three titles before Rodman ever showed up in Chicago. In fact, on several occasions they took out Rodman and the Pistons to win those titles.

    So, essentially, as I see it, it is Duane Wade who compares to Jordan, Bosh compares to Pippin, and LeBron is their third wheel, johnny come lately. He is their Dennis Rodman.

    This just proves all along he had no balls. He just cant handle pressure l/ike the greats. He wants to be led, not be the leader. Not that he will be ignored but that is still Wade's team. He didn't even have the balls to tell Wade to do this in a spot where they all would start fresh. Wade is the ringleader in this joke. Lebron is his bitch now. Just stupid!

    If they don't win it all at least once, this will be the stupidest move EVER! Makes me wonder if he tanked the playoffs this year to use the lame excuse that he is leaving "to win"! I'm mean its not like he cared. The phantom arm injury....the lack of desire toward the end? I dunno!! I mean when you think about it.....if he really wanted to go play doctor with Wade's balls all along and say the Cavs won it all this year......what possible reason would he have to leave the town that brought him a title and was giving him Hummers since he was in HS. I wouldn't even think that way if they didn't hatch this plan 2 years ago!

    I'm really not mad that he left....hell if we talked those guys into coming here we would be celebrating right now. Its just wasn't done right.

    Would you leave a job that had a ten story tall banner that said "I love you" and had your picture on it? (not to mention the job paid you MILLIONS...)?? I wouldn't.

    If you could have the same job for essentially the same money in a better city, a nicer work enviornment, and better benefits you sure would take it.

    No, nuckle dgragger, I wouldn't. Especially if it ment going from being the Biggest fish in the pond to being whatever he ends up being down there. How is that a better work environment?? He was worshiped like a god in Cleveland.... Ok after you finish having your sister read this to you, you can go back to screwing her.

  • This has kinda had me thinking about the whole Braylon Edwards vs Lebron situation. Lebron said something about how Edwards never liked him and maybe now we see why. I know BE isn't the best receiver but I'm glad he got in that fight now. At the time I thought it was jealousy, but since we have seen what kind of person James really is.

  • I am mainly a Browns fan, who follows the Cavs as they are from Cleveland also, yes whilst lebron was part of the team we were in awe of his skills,but now we will just focus on whoever on the team produces week in week out.,and with lbj gone the scoring might be spread better and not seem as big a loss as first appears as the rest of the team at present ain't that bad.

    I honestly think lbj, bosh and wade knew there decision weeks ago and holding back made other teams hurt themselves either waiting in hope or jumping in signing fa later than might have. Because if this was all about TEAM, miami would have organised a triple unveiling which would have had all of us more on awe of the deal than the major betrayal we feel now.

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- During a rally for Miami Heat fans Friday night, Chris Bosh said he had been talking with new teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade about the moment for months. It was a slip, which some, including Bosh himself, caught. The premise that the trio had been talking about teaming up for months hinted there was a plan in place. That potentially would be against rules, and could raise concerns from the league since Bosh and James were playing for teams battling for the playoffs in Toronto and Cleveland.

  • well we've seen his (lebron) and their (wade and bosh) true colors since the big f.ucking 'decision'. see the video of them coming down some elevated platform with their backs towards the fans and media? they truly think of themselves like they ARE hollywood. i always thought that bosh was the least culpable of the three but seeing the true side of all of these snakes i find him the most. someone that will lie to your face and smile while doing it.

    this is a testament of how our society holds these athletes and celebrities above the real people that affect us in so many good ways. i'd love to see our public work force (teachers, cops, firemen, doctors, soldiers etc.) get that kind of money distributed amongst them than these f.uckings stoops who couldn't even put together a term paper between the three of them. since their parents and coaches have seen them grow taller than their classmates these f.uckers (most athletes) have had everything handed to them.

    before all of this i had no idea to the extent the cavs went to make this spoiled brat happy. his posse getting jobs with the team? pleeez. he came here to ny to attend carmello's wedding and got booed while doing it. he's got to be one of the most vilified people walking the streets nowadays. how about we burn his jersey with him in it?

    Boo hoo. Poor billionaire and his "tough" choices.

    He's gone, who cares. Now Cleveland can move on and root for the Cavs and not LeBron. I have never loved my Cavs more then I do now. In Gilbert I trust.

    What I want to know is of all those highlight films shown during the farce of a show, did it show the 8 shots he missed to lose the game?
