I do not think lebron is a d bag lol But his "team" is obviously not very intelligent when it comes to his portrayal in the media. This whole process could have been much much smoother by him simply stating "I want to win a championship and miami appears to be my best option, I loved playing in cleveland, I love the fans, and I want to thank them for all of their support over the years." But instead they let this idiot go on tv and refer to himself in the third person like he was the queen of england lol Who cares how you really feel. Lie to the media and protect your public image.

I guess you didn't watch the playoffs did you?
Even the announcers said it.........

The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5. During the game,
James appeared distracted and uninterested, often glaring at Cleveland's coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half.

Quit? His stats say otherwise..

Dan Gilbert alleges that LeBron "quit" on his team in Games 2, 4, 5 and 6 of the team's second-round series against the Celtics this past May. He also said James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of the team's Eastern Conference finals series against Orlando in 2009. That game eliminated the Cavs from the playoffs.

LeBron's Game 5 performance against Boston was perhaps the most talked-about playoff game of the season. The Cavs were blown out on their home floor, with James appearing aloof and disinterested at time, and having shot only 3-14 from the floor. But few if any observers called LeBron out for his performance in the other three Boston games Gilbert brings up.

Essentially, Gilbert is arguing that all four of the Cavs' losses to the Celtics happened because LeBron quit on his teammates. Like I said, the stats say otherwise.

In Game 2, James tallied 24 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He went to the free throw line 15 times. He held Paul Pierce, to 14 points, driving the lane repeatedly to put Pierce and Perkins in foul trouble. The Cavs still lost by 18 points, as LeBron's teammates combined to shoot 38 percent and the Celtics as a whole shot 51 percent.

In Game 4, LeBron had 22 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and a block. He had 11 free throw attempts. Pierce again was ineffective, scoring just nine points. The Cavs lost by 10 in Boston, where the Celtics lost just one game the whole postseason. Cleveland's backcourt Mo Williams, Anthony Parker and Delonte West combined to shoot 6-of-23, 26 percent. Boston's backcourt shot a combined 23-of-49, or 47 percent.

In Game 6, the Cavs' series-clinching loss, during which Gilbert alleges James quit on the team, LeBron had a game-high 27 points, a game-high 19 rebounds, a team-high 10 assists, a team-high 3 steals, a block and a whopping nine turnovers. The post-game analysis was that LeBron tried to do too much.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

maybe if you guys spend less time worrying about lebron and more time worrying about yourselves, maybe, just maybe you will earn 1/100 of what he makes.. (with the exception of Barry since he doesn't even play the lotto..)

do you even think for a second that lebron cares about what any of you think?? the NBA is a business first.. game is secondary. Next topic...

I think he'll go to Miami. Maybe he'll play golf with Tiger?

Everyone can rest assured that Gilbert's letter is being handled. I must have missed the import of it so thank goodness for good ol' Jesse Jackson to the rescue.

Hey look at me! I'm Jesse Jackson and I need your attention so I'll say something outrageous!

That was the game James found out that Delonte West was banging his mom. You'd be distracted too.

LeBron who? He is dead to me.

It was embarrasing how he left. What an egomaniac. When Jordan decided to come back to basketball he sent a two word fax to the league. It simply said "I'm back". What LeBron did was a freaking carnival.

LeBron may have quit in the last series and rumor speculation does indicate it was due to his mom whoring out with Delonte. Talk about two dirtballs. I hope LeBron is as mad at her as he is with West.

This move has dropped LeBrons stock and may even hurt his legacy. It was a BITCH move and I hope he never gets that championship he is looking for. If he doesn't win one with the Heat, he is not going to have any excuses. It is do or die now. He obviously wasn't capable of winning one by himself, so we will see if he can do it with 3 other superstars. One announcer said something I thought was right on. They said Jordan would have wanted to kick Wade's ass on the court, not join him in Miami.
