- not only is he a quitter, now he shows the world that he is a follower and not a leader. Rather than being able to entice players to come to his team and lead them to a championship, he has had to resort to following others to Miami in order to chase his championship dream. Very sad.

Not sure what bothered people in Cleveland more...the fact that LeBron left or the way he did it...

Would have been nice to see him get a ring here...as a leader but i guess to him it doesn't matter...

hopefully the cavs won't become the 'browns' of nba...

When Alex Rodriguez was playing in Texas (or, for that matter, in Seattle), he was considered the best player in baseball. He was very much the LeBron James of his game. He had lived up to and surpassed expectations. Still, he eventually realized he couldn't do solo all the things he wanted to get done, so he went to a team that wasn't his. He went to a place where he wouldn't be "The Man," at least not at first. He "took his talents" to New York. He became a Yankee, on Derek Jeter's team.

So the question is this: What's the difference with LeBron? Where is the profound difference between what A-Rod did in 2004 and what LeBron did Thursday night?

Here's the answer: Other than LeBron's personal connection to the city he left, nothing.

Again, this has been done before.

In 1982, Moses Malone was considered by many to be the best player in basketball, certainly one of the best of his generation, and he was still in his prime. But just after he collected the second of his three MVP awards and only one year removed from playing in the NBA Finals with the Houston Rockets, he became a restricted free agent. With his team apparently regressing (the Rockets went from their Finals appearance in '81 to out in the first round the next season), Moses decided to leave Houston and go play for the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that already had one of the other best players in the game and of his generation. A guy named Julius Erving.

Answer: None of them quit on their team during a game.

I for one did not realize how huge Lebron James' ego is until this week.

I'll be rooting for 2 teams this coming season, the Knicks, and anyone who plays the Heat. Well, that is if I pay attention to the NBA at all lol.

This saga needs to be over, every sports show that I listen to is all NBA all the time and I hate it, they hardly talk about other sports.

I don't know if it's his ego or his marketing dept. creating the ego persona.
But underneath it all i get the impression the East is trying to break the
lock the West has had.

Personally I intentionally turned off the sports shows. Way too much free agent
sign and trade saturation imo.

You act like this hype wasn't already years in the making. They have been talking about this free agency class since 2008.

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.

wait ... what? If he's acting like a complete egomaniac and prima dona because someone told him to be that way, that makes it even worse.

Regardless, you are how you portray yourself, and right now, he's acting like a dbag.
