What a coward
LeBron James (read LeBrick Lames) is a coward. By signing with Miami he is saying he can't build a team on his own like Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, etc.
And being an attention ***** and drawing out this whole process when Miami was his choice the whole time
We'll see what they got. The Lake Show is waiting.

I think its a joke that he went through this whole production to abandon his hometown and rub it in on the people of Cleveland.

Plus it would be tainted for Lebron because it wouldn't be "his" team. Sure Magic, Kobe (post Shaq), Jordan, and Bird had supreme talent around them. But it was never in question their teams were lead by them

What crap. People here are embarrassed and disappointed. If you're going to leave a city who has loved and supported you, then make a decision and f'n go. Don't be a little *****-*** attention ***** and drag out this free agency crap for weeks, holding your city, fans, and team hostage while your get courted... only to turn around and embarrass everyone on national television. Immature, selfish, pathetic.

plain and simple this is a business and that is how he approached this situation. you all have no idea how you would react in a situation like this........Why wouldn't someone of his caliber put him in the best possible situation to win titles? He has everything else by the age of 25 BUT TITLES.
This coming from a non NBA fan except for watching during the championship games.

True I agree about all the drama and having a live show to broadcast his answer, way over the top and not needed.

Have guys seen the open letter the Cavs owner just posted on the team website????!
Originally Posted by Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Think of it like a divorce. If a wife files for divorce, it's a private matter and it's over. But she shouldn't show up at her husbands work posting flyers about a big announcement coming up, then get up at the company meeting and announce to his friends and co-workers that she's leaving him because he couldn't satisfy her and she thinks another man can do it better. This is how the people of the city of Cleveland feel.
Rumor is there's some kind of mega-trade in the works. Cool letter and it get's Gilbert some support, but the people of the city of Cleveland aren't dumb enough to believe it.
