with the butthead LeBron.

I only say that because he is black. Not because he took the heart of Cleveland and stabbed it and set it on fire.

LeBron James says race was a factor in backlash to 'The Decision' - Ball Don't Lie - NBA  - Yahoo! Sports

In case you are too drunk... I was using irony/sarcasm in the last post.

[The Mailman]

Cleveland is 51% black. I don't accept the race card as an excuse.

I can understand wanting to play with D-Wade and Bosh.

I dont really have much of an opinion on the matter and haven't taken the time to read into the race issue, but all in all, with the hour long tv special and ****, the whole thing sickens me.

The only solace I have in the NBA right now is getting to snicker that nobody wants to sign A.I. (A great competitor but a horrible teammate who will never win due to his style of play)

[Stifler's Mom]

Not only that but AI has gotta be pushing 40.

I already cancelled my NBA League Pass because I'm totally disinterested in watching or supporting guys like Lebron. Total crybaby primadonna he's turned into, and he's not half the winner Kobe is (I don't necessarily like him either), and will never hold MJ's jock for all these people talking "greatest of all time". Please.

I'll watch a replay of the Idaho Tech Ramblin Wreck against St Catherine's school for the blind before I pay another cent to watch the NBA.

He can go whereever he wants, I think Cleveland still would have been pissed, and I don't blame them, because God Bless them, they have a run of baaaad luck.

Of course the way he went about it was not kosher, IMO, a simple "my bad" would allow us (by us I mean the media) to move on. Instead he wants to play race, or blame others, and just in general, everything stinks. He has loyalty to his BFFs, but they sure use him like a tool, even if they give him the same love back, it's still not the same.

Cleveland would have still be POd that he left, the way he did it, only gave them fuel for the next half century.

and I do think Karma's a btch. Will be interesting how the season unfolds.

Being from Cleveland and still living here for over 40 years, a guy kind of gets used to it. Others may agree. LePrick is just a selfish guy and Cleveland sports always.....ALWAYS, let's me down. Guess I'm a sick dude but, I used to it and need it:beer2::laughing:. All in all, I care not and do everything from a betting perspective.

LeBron doesn't realize that despite the $3.5M he raised for the boys and girls clubs was not enough to soften the blow he gave to NE Ohio. He cannot even fathom the affect he had on not only the young people, but employment at The Q, surrounding restaurants, etc. during games and even the scalpers outside on the street. Check out the Cavs marketing now.....they are offering tons of single game ticket availability. Lots of season ticket holders and package buyers have lost interest. Buying 300 bicycles for Akron kids didn't soften the blow. Cleveland suffers yet another major sports setback.

And the whole process does not boil down to that he simply left. It's how he left. He left his teammates hanging, he left the people of NE Ohio who idolize him hanging, he left the Cavs organization hanging. He could have decided much earlier in the process and left the Cavs enough time to make deals, make another move or two to surround him with better players, or try and make deals that would have left them with a some semblance of a competitive team and not one that lacks a bonafide NBA star.

The Indians suck, despite winning 7 in a row at the end of the season. The Browns suck, and now the Cavs suck again too......Cleveburgh had once again fallen back to a minor league town. Look out for the oranges when Miami comes to town LeBron, you should have used your LeBrain!

Not to get too political but this is typical left wing drivel and it was on CNN which is typical.

I am an angry Cleveland home towner and I am sick of everything being blamed on race. If it aint race, it is man v woman, gay v straight, Hispanic v Non Hispanic, .... ugh. We are all Americans and the fringe permo-demonstrators dont talk for most of us.

It is a stupid argument anyways on a logic basis. Yeah.... NE ohio is so racist that they watched your dumbass special in record numbers then were upset about it only because you were not Mark Price, a white guy. Maybe they were truly upset and maybe many blacks in CLE don't care.

As of now, I don't care about the NBA as a fan but would love to see the Heat crash and burn next Spring.

Nice win today. Big Ten is going to be a blood bath. Meeechigan is highly overrated though....better than last two years but not a top 20 team. Good luck next week.

I was just happy for once Sparty didn't **** bed in a big game...Their D is playing pretty well..Hopefully they can shut down Robinson...I don't see Michigans D or lack there of stopping States offense unless they stop themselves with turnovers...
