Is it me or is lebron the only ? in history who took less money and wants to be a complete team player but gets hated on. White people always talking about they don't watch the NBA because they think players are selfish and just play for the most money. But then a player like lebron takes less money and wants to be a team player and they hate on him for that?

    You know if you think about it, Bron, Wade and Bosh have been nothing but perfectly humble dudes ever since the season started. Yeah the soul train preseason parade was a bit much but since then they have been extremely complementary of everybody. Meanwhile they get called overrated, soft, etc etc by sports analysts, ? ? called them the Big 2 and Bosh didnt say nothing....just completely ? on his existence the entire series. I dont know if it was Brewer or Deng that was talking some ? to Wade as well...not once have I heard anything but praise for their opponents from the Heat.

    for sum reason using free agency to join anotha NBA allstar to win a championship is different than a draft or trade. Dont ask me how cuz i have no idea but every other NBA champion has one or two NBA allstars on their team but that's okay cuz they were traded to that team or drafted.

    lol and ? saying that hes "cheating" by being with wade in bosh like bron playing playstation and just hit up down right circle square and activated the cheat code menu

    thats what ? sleeping on. In a 12 player locker room being humble is key (see the lakers locker room post someone ? gasols girl). But there have been no egos or outstanding fights or beef like many other locker rooms this year in the nba.

    I dont hate LBJ. Hes just the equivalant of a little boy losing a pickup game and talking the ball so nobody else can play.......And having a parade and waggin his tongue at the other kids.....then apologizing for it

    Wrong again. They did a sign and trade deal wit Cleveland and Toronto, giving both teams 1st rnd draft picks in order to get an additional 6th year to their contracts and more money. They all took 6 million less than the max so they can all sign and get mike miller and haslem.

    If Miami wins this title, there will be a lot of humble pie being eaten, especially with the old timer greats. I'm making the prediction next year that the Heat will crush the Bulls 72 win season when they get a point guard and center.

    Just wait. I'm calling this ? 1 or 2 years ahead. Wade gonna have beef with Bron when they start getting rings & the Media throws the crown on James' head, especially when Miami's been Wade's team forever.

    The Media ain't gonna treat Miami like Boston's big 3, it's gonna be Lebron-Lebron-Lebron. I'm callin it. They already startin now.

    no they won't. its completely impossible for a nba team in 2011 to only lose 5, 6 or 7 games. won't happen.

But when ? critisizing a ? for making moves to better his career instead of just taking money or being the big man on campus caring aobut stats and not titles its kinda rediculous.

    Maybe the first in basketball, but not the first in sports, this dude did it for basically the same reasons and even less money....

    ...And still caught flack for it. A lot of his Falcon teammates were heated (hence the Andre Rison fight) but most fans understood his decision and the fact that the old Falcons ownership (bottom 5 woat in NFL history) didn't even formally offer him a contract. He flipped that San Fran success into a history-making deal with the Cowboys but that's just good business. He accomplished his goals and did everything all three teams wanted him to do.

    Falcons needed to sell tickets (Check. 'Cause the Smith Family didn't really give a ? about winning.)
    Niners needed an advantage over the Cowboys so they could get a ring for Young. (Check.)
    Cowboys needed an advantage over the Niners so they could solidify a dynasty. (Check.)

    Nothing wrong with that IMO. Just business.

    if you call youself the chosen one, you gotta take the criticism like a man. he quit on his team, his city & did it in an extremely distasteful fashion.

    If you from Long Island, you don't run out on the Knicks
    If you from Palm Beach, you don't talk ? about the Heat
    If you from Gary, Indiana....you don't run out on the Bulls
    If you from Chester PA...you don't ? on the Sixers
    If you from Long Beach, CA...you don't say ? the Lakers
    If you from Decatur, GA....you don't say you dont give two ? about the Falcons/Hawks

    You basically a hometown hero.
