Lebron clearly needed help. Help would not come here because they didn't know whether or not lebron would stay. If you look back to my posts around here during that time, they all spoke to how 'the man'(LEBRON) controlled everything. His crew ran everything. That shit didn't happen in Miami. That played a part in him leaving. He wasn't treated like a King by Miami ownership like he was by Gilbert.
There wasn't a problem with Lebron leaving. I wish folks would understand that. It's the way he did it. Period. If Lebron were a cac who did that shit, Gilbert writes the same fucking letter.
@ trading Lebron. Gilbert minus whale have sold the team if he pulled that shit. He wouldn't be welcome in Cleveland. Lebron never said he wanted out of Cleveland.
Damn Steph.
And peep the hat.

You think the Cavs give Blatt a ring,because he is eligible to get one,since he coached the first half of the season....
He gets one.
He's going to get one.
Who knew Oakley was from Cleveland
Oakley is a VUU graduate like myself. He's created a pipeline of Cleveland to Virginia Union basketball players
Ben Wallace is from Cleveland too
He CAN pass the GOAT in my opinion
Give it time
Coming back to Cleveland and winning was huge for his legacy
he deserves it.
Only 3 players in NBA history have won more trophies than LeBron James
LeBron James pulled off the unthinkable, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to an NBA championship after trailing 3-1 in the series. James was also named NBA Finals MVP, raising the number of trophies he has won in his career to 13, tying him with Magic Johnson among players who have won at least one league MVP award, and trailing only Michael Jordan (22), Bill Russell (17), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (15).
Of course, recent players have an advantage when it comes to trophies. The Defensive Player of the Year award has only been around since 1982-83 and the NBA didn't start naming Finals MVPs until 1968-69. Bill Russell won his final championship during the 1968-69 season, and it is safe to say he would probably have at least ten more trophies if both of those awards were available in his day. Of course, there were also only eight teams in the NBA when Russell won his first title, so there was less of a challenge to win championships.
Still, James is now in some pretty elite company, and at 31 years old, he probably still has a few peak seasons left in the tank.

Lebron is leagues above Jordan. Lebron has played against Kobe, Duncan, and now curry. People are looking at this 6-0 stuff incorrectly.
Who did Jordan go against? In the grand scheme of things, they weren't all that.
I agree,he deserves one,but I hope the Cavs do the right thing though
Stockton and Malone...greats; Gary payton...great; Barkley...great; drexler...great; magic...great; i think mj record speaks for itself..if u wanna say lbj is better because of this or that cool,but let's not say shit just to say shit.......
Word? hmmm. OK I get it . is it because LJ had to carry slackers to the finals?
Nah.. I didnt say deserve. He dont "deserve" shit.
Greats? Or really good? And magic was old as hell in 91. I believe drex and mr AIDS are the only two to be champions.
2 main reasons.
James has lead his team to rings more times then Kobe has.
James won his 3rd ring against ridiculous odds, against an all time great team, breaking an age old record. While Kobe has never won if he wasnt a favorite.
Magic was the same age (in 1991) as Lebron is right now. He wasn't old. The Lakers had won nearly 60 games that season. They caught the injury bug in the playoffs though...definitely out of their prime as a team. Magic wasn't old though.
Thanks for saving me the time
When he play Kobe in the finals?
Cuz if we just naming greats Jordan played against in general there is many more dude didn't even name
Can we admit lebron has a little more miles on his body than magic. More T cells too.
I wrote all this and decided not to post itLebron clearly needed help. Help would not come here because they didn't know whether or not lebron would stay.

Then I was replying to something else and ended up replying to you.
You are closer to the situation than I am. I will defer
I just seek to understand why a player can be hated for fulfilling his contract and going somewhere else.
I'm biased. He came down here, so I won't fake objectivity.
Oh that silly revisionist history
Do you know how old Magic was when he came to the NBA??
Jordan didn't play against greats. He played against good players. what the fuck has Charles Barkley done? He was aight, but where are the rings? Supersonics? Cmon? Stockton was alright, but Malone wasn't a fucking great. If championships make you great, who on that list is a great?
Lebron played against the greatest player of all time, steph curry, and won. He played against Tim Duncan and won.
You're actually helping my point and don't realize it. In mileage, Lebron is actually older than Magic was so the thing about Magic being "old" is false.
Yep.
This sums it up
lmbaooooooooo
