ANGRY CLEVELAND FANS BURNING LEBRON JERSEYS.

Lebron > Jesus

15,000 in Miami just to see him for 5 minutes today!

Parades!

Lebron is more than a basketball player, he is a franchise. Cleveland is upset because attendance (and interest) is going to plummet. Less people in the stadium, fewer jerseys sold, etc. Not to mention bars, restaurants and hotels which have been affected by his stardom. Lebron is worth big money to a city, not just the fans. Sucks for Cleveland but great for Miami.

The Lebron Effect of the Economy:

I believe this location was selected due to the Boys / Girls Clubs of America Corp. offices or something. All proceeds from last night are going to B & G Clubs.

What the hell are you talking about? Fans are a bunch of freaking pussies. You fostered and supported him? Really? Shut the f*** up. You just wanted to win and feel good by living through the hard work and talent of someone else. If Lebron James was a scrub you wouldn't have gave two shits about him.

On top of that, no NBA player is obligated to play for their home state. If anything, be grateful that he did for three years.

Go f***ing fly a kite. Maybe one day you'll grow up to be a man that doesn't worry about shit that doesn't make no damn sense.

Go f*** yourself you piece of shit. You don't shit about sports or fans for the matter go suck on satans cock.

Played for us for 3 years? Try 7 retard. Every fan wants their home team to win a championship and Cleveland hasn't won one in 46 years so go f*** yourself with the hard work of someone else bullshit. He wasn't on the floor by himself dumbass. He had teammates and a coach and community to support him and he let them down. I'd be okay with him leaving if he didnt talk so much about how he's a loyal guy. Why don't you take off your moms massacre and go have sex with your boyfriend.

I personally feel that if you are going to make an hour long special about your final decision it should of been about how Lebron decided to stay loyal to his home, or that he felt he could bring basketball back to New York! The fact that he did this and ended up leaving cleveland to join Wade's team, in Wade's city, in Wade's market truly shows that LeBron is NO where Near Kobe, and not even in the same book as michael let alone sentence. and can NEVER be mentioned as one of the best ever. LeBrons Legacy is now that of Pippen and co.

The Fuhrer sure isn't happy about this:

Nope. 666 is exactly right. You haven't done a damn thing to "foster" and "support" Lebron James. You've cheered him on and watched him play because he kicks f***ing ass at basketball and single-handedly put the Cavs on the damn map. It's easy as hell to "support" someone when they're as good as Lebron. He turned that franchise around and gave your sorry ass little city 7 years of his career. He's given Cleveland enough and he doesn't owe you anything. Basketball is a team sport and Lebron can't win a championship by himself. He tried for 7 years.

The fact that the man is being talked about like he's Lucifer is ridiculous. The NBA is, first and foremost, a business. It is entertainment. God forbid the best basketball player on the planet would like to know what it's like to win a championship before he retires. f*** you bunch of whiny assholes.

Interesting - new price on the Fatheads - $17.41

Dan Gilbert is like a little child having a tantrum. Who the f*ck would want to play on the CAVS now?

A business? Well in that case LeBron is terrible business man because he left an opportunity for a lot more money. What about the greatest basketball players ever? Magic, Jordan, Kobe, Bird, Abdul (traded once) but still the best players to ever play the game didn't just leave and try to win a championship some where it was more readily available. They stayed and persevered through the "almosts" and "could of beens"

And yes we have supported him, who do you think fostered him when his mother GAVE HIM AWAY for adoption, the Boys and Girls Club of Akron. So don't tell me we didn't support him, we sent him to the best school in Akron. Did we watch and cheer because he was good, yes but ask any true Cavs fan and it wasn't just because he was good, it was because he was brought up BY the community. LeBron proclaimed himself a King, but he didnt "fix" Cleveland, he provided a bandaid. If he would have stuck with it for another decade he would have been the true hero of Cleveland because he would have brought business that could support themselves without him, thats a true King.

Cleveland fans 7 weeks ago:

"Coach Izzo, please come to Cleveland. We'll offer you $x,000,000 to coach our team to an NBA title. 30 years at Mich St. you say? They have been great to you and you have won there? Who cares? We're going to pay you SO MUCH! You can coach a superstar and win! D-Wade, come to Cleveland and play with a superstar and win! Yeah, we know you were drafted by the Heat, made a name for yourself with the Heat, and revived a dead franchise with a title a couple years back with the Heat, but F*** 'em. Ditch those guys and come here and play! Who cares about what the Heat have done for you, WE want you NOW!"

Cleveland fans today:

"How dare LeBron leave! Why the hell would ANYONE leave where they've been for 25 years of life to play with superstars and win a title? This is madness! We are incensed by his lack of loyalty to us and how we have treated him."

Are you serious? In your idiotic post you forgot to mention the team loyalty of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.

Can you please not insult KG and his loyalty to Minnesota and the Timberwolves. He gave the T-Wolves 12 years of his career and played with more intensity and heart than any player could possibly be expected. He finally got fed up with Kevin McHale and Glen Taylor's inability to manage the cap and obtain quality players at reasonable prices. In the end, McHale traded KG and actually got some assets in return. Bottom line, KG is as loyal as any player, strike that, human can be these days. He could still be in Minnesota, if only the front office knew what they were doing...

When KG finally won a title with the Celtics, most T-Wolves fans were actually pretty happy for the guy we watched grow up (from age 18 to 30).

if the Bulls not retaining Pippen (but giving him the rich sign and trade) and failing to bring Jordan back out of retirement and then into ownership resulted in a young Dwyane Wade deciding to never play for the Bulls, and causing Bosh and James to go elsewhere as well, then what will Gilbert's action do to the already nonexistent recruiting to Cleveland? And the bottom line is that his inability to retain LeBron will cause a dip in franchise value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and that is what Gilbert's really angry about. His reaction only supports James's decision.

Kobe asked for help and got Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Pierce asked for help and got Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. LeBron asks for help and gets Anderson Verajo, some guy who's sister is better than him (Anthony Parker), a washed up Shaq who's more worried about being a cop, a guy in Delonte West who's bangin' his mom, and some dude named Boobie.

Now ask youself Cleveland...why do you think he bolted? Your owner (who's from Michigan) took advantage of you and LeBron and now he's tugging your heart strings not so that you hate LeBron, but so that he can keep nickel and dimeing you fools to buy season tickets by thinking that he's on yourside. Straight business 101

Thanks for posting that! I was thinking the same thing. KG surely would have stayed if the front office didn't screw it up. Most T-Wolves fans still cheer for the guy. Hard not to! Also, I still think they would have won a title or two if Marbury didn't jump ship.

Agreed, Brown is only pissed because he practically sucked LeBron's d*ck to get him to stay and he still left...therefore Brown lost a ton of money.

I think the reason why Cavs fans are upset is because of the television special in which LeBron basically gave Cleveland a big "f you" on national television. Had he announced that he was going to the Heat at the same time as Bosh and Wade's announcement, I think it would have been more acceptable and less people would be mad.

Not to mention, by announcing after Bosh and Wade, it really makes it look like LeBron is following them to Miami, rather than all three making a joint decision to play on the same team. I don't think this would be good for LeBron's reputation/legend status. Winning's winning though, I suppose.

witness relocation, haha

Yes, it's Wade city. Give it another year and it's going to be Lebron's city. Dwayne Wade will be today's Scotty Pippen. Which isn't necessarily an insult to Wade. Lebron is great.

And to 03runner03 or whatever your handle is: You are clearly insane and I have nothing left to say to you.

King James will rule with an iron fist
