This is also the worst thing to happen to the NBA, the worse thing to happen to a sports fan is to watch the same few teams win the title over and over. Whichs means unless barring miracle upsets and injury, the next five titles will probably be going to Heat, Lakers, or both... ...joy.... The 80s Celtics and Lakers teams would like to have a word with you.

I know LeBron is Hogan. After all, he is the "3rd guy" and has the ego to give himself a one-hour promo. But who's Hall and who's Nash? Is Wade Hall? Bosh? Wade = Hall (1st one there) Bosh = Nash

I dont think people realize the magnitude of Lebron's decision. This is a franchise changing decision, for both Miami and Cleveland. For Cleveland, this will probably set them back 10 years. Do remember, back in February, Danny Ferry didn't want to trade JJ Hickson to get Amare. They could have gotten Amare if Hickson was included in the package and he wasn't. Amare could have re-signed with Cleveland and they could have kept Lebron. That one move, or lack thereof bit them in the ass. But hindsight is 20/20.

Who had 9:50 as the first time LeBron James mentioned himself in the third person?

After all the talk Carlos Boozer did for James to join the Bulls. James should've given them a verbal agreement THEN signed with the Heat.
Karma, it's a bitch.

Not to mention that the NBA sat back and smiled as the 3 douches made some shady pact to go to Miami. The whole summer frenzy was a giant ploy from day one. 3 teams were completely dicked over by it. How is that good for basketball?

I got to say, I am lmao at those people burning their LeBron stuff. Like he is going to give a damn, you already spent the money on it. "Oh boo hoo, some guy I don't know that doesn't know squat about my situation is burning something he spent $60 on"

We're supposed to sit here and swallow the hype, that LeBron is the best basketball player in the world. The agenda this whole off-season has been, "wherever he goes, they instantly become a championship contender." Why is that? How many rings does LeBron have on his fingers? The best players in the world are supposed to be capable of winning with whatever supporting cast they are given. But LeBron has proven, time and time again, that no matter what you give him, he can't close it out. And it's not just that he couldn't win it on his own, it's that he has now refused to win it on his own. He doesn't have the championship killer instinct that Bird, Magic or Jordan had. Do you think any of those three would have bailed on their teams whenever a sure thing came up? Hell no, because those three were natural-born winners who could look teammates in the eyes and say, "Piss off, I'm doing it on my own tonight." And they would do it on a routine basis. LeBron doesn't want to be the best, he just wants to be perceived as the best. Then there is no such thing as a great player as everyone you mentioned FAILED when not surrounded with great talent. Jordan = Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Grant...then the Wizards Magic = Rambis, Jabar, Worthy...then the return Bird = Parrish, McHale, Walton...then in 88 he had the best year of his career and has nothing to show for that. They all had guys they could rely on to take pressure off of them. LeBron has had none of that. Most of the guys you mention (besides Kareem and Walton), were only as good as they were when they had a star playing next to them. Bosh, Wade, and James were already big name players before getting together. If you want to make that kind of comparison, I would choose the Celtics of recent years with Allen, Pierce, and Garnett. Even then, they got together when they were a bit older and not in their prime.

Congratulations, LeBron: you are now the most hated sports figure in America. Kobe, Tiger and Joe West just cracked open a round.

Who wants to make odds on the Cavaliers franchise folding/moving within a decade? I'll take that, and wouldn't be shocked to see it drop in the next five years without the income of winning and of LeBron himself. Who wants to go out and watch JJ Hickson and Mo Williams trying to break 25 wins?

I can't help but laugh at Cleveland sports fans. I feel sorry for them, but I'm still laughing. They just can't catch a break. And when they do, they fumble it. Not this time. The fans f***ing loved this guy. Having to watch him do an hour long self blowjob is absolutely terrible but.....but......but.....he did it for the kids
