People like you: LBJ ITZ ALL BOUT DEM RINGZZZZZZLBJ: Fine. I'll go to Miami where I can play alongside good playoff talent.You: NO NO NO NO NO YOU SUPPOSED TO WIN BY YOURSELF LIKE MJ DID! (even though he clearly didn't)...idiots.

In a society where achieving your own success reigns supreme...I fail to see how expecting someone who is great to do so, makes one an idiot.

I fail to see how anyone who claims to watch this sport still can't understand that it's a TEAM and not individual sport.If you still insist that players like MJ won championships by themselves, then yes; you are an idiot. Period.

Wow.

What's funnier is when some Lakers fans say that that's not a playoff team.

"Quit" on being the "main option"

Why are Lakers fans so effin stupid?

--Dont bash on my Laker brethren on stuff I say.

Ehh..I hope Lebron gets his. Looking back at the old Cavs teams that they surrounded him with makes me

I never understood the hate for the Decision. Dude did an anti-Draft.

And the

at he should have given Cavs a heads up. Is it protocol for teams to give players they tend to cut a heads up? Nah

Cavs got cut

His actual decision to go and play in Miami aside, those fans didn't deserve that on national TV though.

[nermindee]

it wasnt just the ridiculous way he announced his decision... it was that hilarious introduction party they had.... "not 1, not 2....." and "its gonna be easy"

and when they were losing games, they were acting like the world was against them... lol at the pathetic attempt to get pity...


lotta talk from a quitter who is ringless... lebrons mouth put him where he is at... good luck living up to your 7 championships ring chaser.

--Eh, thinking about it more now, The Decision wasnt nearly as bad as the parade/pep rally they had afterwards.
--Just sayin. Even the C's didnt celebrate like that when they acquired KG and Shuttlesworth in the summer of '07.

Come on man, you don't know me fam. I was the one telling everyone to give LeBron time, I was using Michael Jordan as an example because he didn't win until he was 28 years old. All he needed was time, I was never bashing him for not winning.  I didn't expect him to start winning until the Lakers and Celtics started to deteriorate, it's not like he was Ray Allen or KG and he was in his early 30's, he was 25 when the decision happened.

He should've came to NY. He would've averaged a triple double and won a ring.

Name me one person on this planet that has achieved any sort of measurable success by themselves? Only the truly disillusioned believe success is a solo act.

I didnt really care where he went and being from ny i was glad he didnt come to the knicks.

When you typed this sentence did you really expect anyone to believe you?

"Yeah, I'm glad the best player in the league didn't come and play for my favorite team in the league."
