LeBron James Discussion Thread

[elcheato]

lol I don't expect to see him back, good riddance

 

[The Guid]

Biotch please, I have put more into my argument over the 48 hours than you've put into all of your SI activity, P E R I O D.

I am one of the few people here that doesn't view LeBron as a bad guy b/c...

1. I'm not a baby.

2. I'm not from Cleveland, nor a Cavs fan

3. It's only basketball, not a f-cking life & death matter

4. I know what real problems in the real world are all about (this ain't one of them)

and ...

5. I can think for myself. I don't need to follow what everyone else thinks around here, in order to be accepted and feel "cool". Half of you are too afraid to say what you really think b/c you don't want to get into it or your just afraid of ruffling anyone's feathers.

F-ck that...support free thinking. Sorry to disrupt the "core of SI" but I'm not here to sugarcoat nothing.

Your opinon is dogsh*t CC and you've done absolutely NOTHING to support your f-cked up theories. Keep thinking LeBron is the bad guy in all this b/c you bought some jersey as a kid and....just STFU. Duke sucks, you're a tool, end of story.

I think LeBron's the "bad guy"....which of those describes me?

 

[.GR]

Again, coming from a Yankees fan of course he's going to think that.

Personal attacks - the #1 sign that someone has mentally lost an argument/debate and has nothing left to say. You're a 26 year old on a message board attacking someone years younger than you. Grow up. What's worse is you can't beat said person in a debate.

PS - I'm pretty sure Duke won the championship this year? Yeah... how could they suck and do that?

2 douchebag moves:

1. Playing yourself out to be the "young and hapless" victim, attacked by the big, bad grown up.

2. Assuming you won some sort of a debate b/c you jumped on my last nerve and I called you out for what you really are. You're doing more critiquing of AE than Lebron in this thread...yet you feel you're argument has won won you something?

Greg is right, I'm a Yankee fan and Brett Favre is my starting quarterback. Sh-t like this Lebron situation doesn't equal the end of my World or disrupt my universe.

1 last thing I find interesting about talking to people about this today..at work & in public....nobody I know over the age of 23 or 24 is making Lebron out to be this much of a "Benedict Arnold". It was actually refreshing to have personal conversations about it and not hear anybody else use the word "betrayal".

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Good to hear, AE. Guess we all can't be as cool as you...

^ I'm 18 :] I want my cookie nao!

Lol, This topic went from a discussion about LeBron to something really weird. On a closing note the one I got to say is, Chris Bosh should have kept his number 4 and not change to 1 -.-

OT: When watching the "decision" all I was really thinking was I wonder if Kanye would appear out of no where and say "Yo yo hold up LeBron. Ima let you finish and all, but Michael Jordan was the best Basketball player of ALL TIME...OF ALL TIME" (serious!)

 

[The Young One]

I just want to know this.... after reading windy's article today.

Do any of you guys actually believe these 3 have been planning this for a while?

Im just interested to hear what you guys think about it

 

[Mexi]

^yeah
thats why they all signed the 3 year deals a few years ago

and this might be a coincidence, but remember that game in November last year?
Cavs at Heat. Cavs win. After the game LeQuit was interviewed by Craig Sager
he said he would be #6 next year.
hmmmmmm. mentioned it right when he was in Miami too

 

[The Young One]

Supposedly MJ/Riley met with him before that game...according to windy

 

[Mexi]

bosh let something slip during their little party too

"it wasn't hard leaving Toronto, and I know it wasn't hard leaving Cleveland."


um, you were supposed to say it wasnt easy Chris

 

[The Young One]

I didnt get to say it. But supposedly Bosh said something about them planning this for months or something to that degree.

 

[Mexi]

yeah, Bosh said they have been planning this for months
I didnt see it, but I I heard as well

isnt that tampering?

 

[Pugz]

they as the three of them can plan whatever they want, so thats not tampering..

 

[Mexi]

go to 3:44

 

[Mexi]

ok Puggz geez lol

 

[Pugz]

ok Puggz geez lol

haha. just sayin'

 

[The Young One]

they as the three of them can plan whatever they want, so thats not tampering..

What about this below

Riley really put the plan into action last November. During a Cavs visit to Miami, Riley arranged a get together with Michael Jordan and James. Jordan, who was in town to do some Nike work with Wade, at the time did not own a majority of the Bobcats.

During the meeting, Riley talked to James about how more modern players should pay homage to Jordan. Riley always had led this effort, retiring Jordan's No. 23 in the rafters at AmericanAirlines Arena even though Jordan never played in Miami.

The Cavs knew about it, and while it seemed like it could be classic tampering, they decided not to make an issue of it -- mostly because the meeting technically wasn't about free agency.

<Censored> this <Censored>

i just hope the Lakers have home court.
East is now stacked and the West has nobody even close to the Lakers, so there's a chance

 

[Pugz]
