Palmetto Proving Grounds

You mean a team that had the #1 pick the year before and after Lebron didn't make him?

He essentially made a "bad" PR move that ended up donating $1M to the children's charity where he made the announcement. He essentially exercises his right to work anywhere in America where he decided to go. He essentially signed a deal after his rookie contract expired, stayed in Cleveland and gave Cleveland the best basketball years they have ever had while taking a team of average players to the NBA Finals.

How much $ have you given or raised to be givento children's charities? How many children's charities have you even visited?

This whole dislike over a TV show he did 2 years ago is so pathetic and childish. Unbelievable. Grown men. Sheesh.

I have no problem with him leaving Cleveland. I do have a problem with HOW he left Cleveland. He could have simply notified the Cavs that he was going to Miami and then had his presser in Miami. To go on national TV and inform his employer and the fans that supported him that he was leaving in the fashion he did was beyond classless.

Thanks for your analysis of what I'm qualified to do and who I'm qualified to like. I appreciate your unique and unprecedented insight. Having said that, my dislike for him is based on other factors as well, which you would have known had you taken the time to read my previous posts. But, don't let facts get in the way of your soap box...Feel free to continue to slurp at the feet of the "king." I'll continue to root against him...

Well, to be fair, I never liked Kobe or MJ either. As for Clowney, he wasn't leaving an employer and fan base that overwhelmingly supported him behind. Still, my dislike for LeBron goes beyond "The Decision."

He's black, has tattoos, etc. we know

The owner and city didn't support where it matters, and that's talent acquisition. The city couldn't really help it because Cleveland isn't and won't be desirable free agent destination.

There was also the comment he made when asked about fans giving him a hard time at a visitors court, or something, he said something to the effect of: "when the games over, they will go back to their boring lives, and I will continue being me."

That didn't go over too well, either.

He's not a "bad person", as he has never gotten arrested, or beat up a woman, and that is a good thing. Dwayne Wade appears a little self-rightous and arrogant, and has not helped LeBron's image with a lot of the fans. They did that little thing where they mocked Dirk for being sick, and there was no fallback from that. However, when someone fouled Wade a little harder than he deemed appropriate, and someone talks a little smack to LeBron from the bench, they send some goons to try to hurt them. That didn't help their image either.

You're the most self righteous person on this board. I havn't heard a fact or any relevant evidence come out of your mouth. "They deserved better"...yeah man then they burned his jersey...true fans, better people...but not as good as you of course.

If being sympathetic to and empathizing with those being screwed over is being self-righteous, guess I'm guilty as charged...

Same ole, same ole. How tired can this "crap" get. I can't believe how feakin stupid some people are. My grandmother told me one time that "you can't argue with ignorant people. They are ignorant, they don't know any better". There is no way to win with this kind of thinking or rationale. It frankly makes me want to throw up.

What's sad is that you don't realize that you are the clown for supporting this line of thinking. I'm glad most people do not think this way.

then go throw up.
