    As for Lebron.. I just got this strong possibility.. not saying it's true or not.. But just my opinion.. That Lebron could just possibly opt out and become a Free Agent if*

    Dan Gilbert keeping David Blatt, because it obvious Lebron don't want that ? there..

    and/or

    The situation with Kevin Love(you also gotta paid Tristan Thompson as well)..getting the max.. and/or simply doesn't have confidence in love and kyrie's health..

    Dope article about Tom Donaghy and his time in prison and afterwards.

    http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/06/tim-donaghy-gamblings-golden-boy.html
    Donaghy didn’t much like prison. “Too many criminals,” he says. Men who had killed informants, ? dealers, wives. He called his mother: “Mom! Oh my ? ! I don’t belong here! I could get killed.” But that didn’t stop him from ratting out his fellow inmates for gambling. Then he joined a white-power gang to avoid retribution (he didn’t want to get the tattoo and says they let him shave his head instead).

    Yo I heard a dude call Lebron the "Greatest Loser of All Time" in the ADHD.

    It isn't true, and lacks context - but it is cacthy.

    If that sticks in this Twitter generation, Lebrons legacy is toast.

    Dumb fans will say that Curry had luck to the championship because of "injuries" like it's just easy road to the championship. They dismiss the fact that they had the best record in the league.

    If that's going to be the latest excuse then can we say the same for beating Chicago without Gasol & etc? Only now it's fair to discredit a team because they had this magical "easy road" to the finals like they don't play in the wild wild west

    Jaemooms the only dude happy to be living in the hell hole called Cleveland

    me and Lebron apparently.....

    I thought he was the ? ? from Akron, he don't wanna live in Cleveland either

    Find the post where I called that man a b#tch n#gga....I call him a lame from Akron. Its a big difference. And if living 20 minutes outside downtown Cleveland not considered living in Cleveland then I havent lived in Cleveland for years. Everyone who lives in northeast Ohio rep Cleveland, 3 pro sports teams. Lebron just try to put on for his little village. I have nothing against that.

    As far as Kevin Love goes, I'm like this: if he stays, cool; if he doesn't, that's cool as well. We need a big man that's not afraid to play defense. He can score and he's a prolific rebounder, but he wasn't all of that with us.

    I guess people expect a little more from the "best in the world".
    Lebron is da best playa in da world
    Lebron is not the best team in the world

    I'm sure some would expect the "best player in the world" to have a better than 33% winning pct when playing in the finals. BTW, you don't have to have the best team in the world to win a championship.

    He's the best, big athlete playing basketball in the world IMO.
    No jumper, no post-game, not touch around the rim (outside of dunking), average FT shooter, no killer instinct, average handle. Imagine if defenses could really lean on him...stop being sheep.

    Would Cleveland be willing to give Love the max if he opts out and pay Tristan Thompson the money he wants, why pay that much for 2 guys who play the same position

    I'm guessing bird rights and the increase to the salary cap.

    And LBJ is just too passive. You can really see it with him. He really needs to start not giving a ? . Develop that post game, work on his dribble and say ? you to that 3 shot.

    The dude cant win man. Games 1-5 he did this. Honestly game 6 he did somewhat . He did everything we been asking him to. You miss, ? it keep shooting. Did all that but geez you can't literally take every shot.

    It was valid before (see Dallas Finals), but not anymore. At the end he kept driving and occasionally gave it to JR and JR scored 15 in the 4th. I mean damn

    Doesn't shoot "enough" -
    too passive

    Shoots more -
    Stat stuffer

    Averages 36-12-10 on a depleted team to compete with a 67 win Team in the Finals-
