it's totally the uncool thing to do

Comments about his persona are based on the image that he chooses to portray. If it's a problem, change your image.

I don't know this, but it sure seems like he doesn't really care all that much about what people think about him. See his comments on the people rooting for him to fail as an example.

For someone that doesnt care that much about what people say, he sure spends a lot of time and energy explaining his actions.

he does?

since when?

[brwnbear]

Dude, did you see the post game press conference?

EVERY question was about him choking or this or that. It was mostly Lebron specific, not even team related. If he got up and walked out, you guys would be calling him out for not facing the media after the loss.

They ask him questions about him and this situation. He answered them, explaining his actions. What else was he supposed to do? lol

No I didnt. Looking more at a combination of actions over a longer period of time vs. one interview.

I dont want to get lost in an argument because I am not seeing the point you are trying to make. I think he really does care about what others think of him. I think he cares very much, maybe more so than winning.

Didnt he say in an interview that he was taking mental notes of those that take shots at him? If he didnt care what others say, why that or the karma comments?

Why couldnt you just play the way you did in the first quarter Lebron, we wouldnt be inundated with this??

I honestly wouldnt mind Miami trading him and keeping Wade and loading up with other awesome guys. He is jinxed with Cowboy Dave and Shel love juice.

Now I know what its like to be a Yankee fan when they lose and everyone makes fun of you, thanks Lebron.

[packsyD22]

The more I think about it the media has made him out to what he is. The we are all witnesses thing, the decision, etc......now the media uses what they made him out to be and crushes him. I am already over being happy the Heat lost, now I am more happy a franchise won their first rings, cause like someone stated earlier, these guys are young and will be competing.

And Corey you sound like a Yankee fan wanting to blow the team up after one season.

[Weasel]

Saw this. I was rooting for Miami, but Cuban is the fucking man

[Ghost of UCLA]

Good stuff, keep on posting

You can trade him for Chris Paul, but you'd be in the same jinx situation, probably worse.

[Cnasty]

Done, notify Dave so we can put it through.

[ReignOnU]

Speaking of Paul... any chance him or Parker find their way to NY this offseason?

[brwnbear]

Thought it was pretty classy for Cuban to offer to pay for the parade.

Thought it was pretty classy for Cuban to offer to pay for the parade.

In today's economy, it is becoming the norm. I know for the Lakers last year it was paid for partly by the team and partly by private sponsors. Cities can't justify spending several million on a parade when they're under-funded for their yearly budget as it is.

[brwnbear]

Anyone care to start an offseason thread? I am curious to find out more about the labor situation. Some of the numbers they are throwing around are

I think these are my last ones. Some people out there are trying too hard

It's funny how everyone here hates Lebron, but if he was to go to "your favorite team" you wouldn't instantly love him and all this would be behind you like nothing happened.

[nick]

hes right tho. you should of seen my facebook wall explode with all these pretend Mavs fans. not much today from them, kinda like how everyone was a Green Bay fan come Super Bowl

nick, just about all of Ohio was rooting for the Mavs including me. No one here wanted to see him win it all, especially in his first year there.
And he was not right. It goes to the point of him not owning up to his pitfalls.

Instead of lashing out at people, as a few others have already stated, sit there and admit that Dallas was the better team and they deserve the Championship!

And I was one of them blowing it up on Facebook. It was out of pure spite!
Ha Ha LeBron...you put together a mini all-star team and where did it get you....no further than when you were in Cleveland!

I posted...You may have taken your talents to South Beach, but the trophy is headed to Dallas!

Again, it was many people having fun being able to say, ha ha, who is laughing now?

Lebron put together a mini all star team!?!?!? Lebron was trying to recruit Bosh to Cleveland, and when he couldn't he went to MIami. Don't be sad cause Cleveland sucks and will be irrelevant for the remainder of history, be thankful for 7 years in your life, you saw a player better than anyone else on the floor, on your home team.

Lebron James was reportedly slated to star in the new blockbuster movie "The Green Lantern" but was passed over because he had no ring!


And how can you guys say that he does not care what people think?
If he does not care, then why hold a 1 hour ESPN special report on your decision?

If he didn't care, he would have simply walked into his coach and owner's offices and told them, guys, I am out, see ya. And move on.
