    Thanks for the inside dope Gips- and courtesy of a link on cleveland.com, here's a tremendous (and unbiased) account of what James has unleashed.

    Shore 'enuf, LeQuit is officially LePippin to Wade's Jordan- and maybe he's happy about it. Hard to believe LeBron's world doesn't extend beyond his Posse- but can the guy be so isolated from reality that he had no clue he was going to get the full Modell treatment when he left? "He has no idea how much backlash he is about to get." Per the article. Yeah I hoped not- but you may as well sell the manse LeBron, before some crazy tries to torch it.

    He should consider himself lucky if his only damage is getting a beer or two tossed in his direction when he revisits the Q in the fall. Gilbert- put a "Quitness" t-shirt on every seat before that game.

    SI Article

    The SI survey on the debacle asks:

    The Heat need a game-winning shot in a big playoff game. Who gets the ball?

    Dwyane Wade

    LeBron James

    Maybe they'll be so busy passing off the ball to avoid the "pressure" that nobody will take the shot.

    The Bulls showed LeBron James a pair of Air Jordans and asked him if he could fill those shoes. His answer was a loud, and embarrassing, "no."

    The most stunning remark by James was his statement that he and Dwayne Wade would no longer have the pressure of having to score 30 points a night. That's the voice of a talented basketball player but not of a champion. Not even if he wins his title(s).

    wow! good stuff from si. the results of that survey say alot. lebron doesn't realize what he's done yet, but he will real soon. he's made himself a hated man (especially) in cleveland/ne ohio, but also in chicago, nj, ny, la (clipper fans) and nba fans (in other cities) who were turned off by what he did.

    I've been a little surprised by the general reaction of fans not even associated with any of the cities in the running for LeBron James.

    i think other people were just as disgusted as cavs fans were by lebrons selfishness and his egotistical display on espn that he made those who once loved and respected him, hate him with a passion.

    dont really want your squad to suck ...just vs. The Steelers...lol. HOWEVER... a couple yrs of Success and Ya ... I will want your guys to suck. Because you all will be Unbearable. hmmmm.... perhaps that is how you feel about us.

    Boy ain't that the truth! 😆😆😆 Not all of you. We also hope that this rivalry will rev up again! It's good for our division, and it's good for the NFL!

    Maybe you hit on something Gip! You see Steeler fans are as proud and loyal as any fan in the world, the difference is we realize there is a universe of difference between pride in a country/nation and pride in a game conducted by a morally bankrupt organization. This is why the people of Pittsburgh are down right embarrassed by the buffoon sitting in the white house right now!

    Actually, I don't think you guys have much in he way of pride AT ALL.

    You just admitted you had no pride in your nation.

    You apparently have no pride in your city.

    If any of such characterics exist, it is only fair weathered pride. You basically just admitted that you cut and run when times get tough...be that with your sports team or your nation.

    So, now we know what you are all about.

    Nothing more need be said.

    The bitterness is being exhibited all on your part.

    You are here spewing hate and venom toward the Browns, the city, their fans.

    And you are then surprised when we respond to defend the Browns, the city, the fans?

    More fool you. You reap what you sow.

    oh, i'm sure lebron knows about the greats and all of their accomplishments. it's just that lebron doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, he wants to take the easy way out.

    Your quote "when I call you out for being petty and bitter".

    Yea, you took the high road. Sure.

    Good point. I mean, was the ESPY crowd full of Cleveland fans? I seriously doubt it.

    For a guy who tried to polish his image, his "brand" with his act all he accomplished was to tarnish it.

    For a guy who tried to show that he was a winner, he showed that he was a loser.

    For a guy who tried to show that he was "The Man", all he did was show that he was a boy.

    Even if he wins, no one will consider him a winner at this point.
