Dan Le Batard: LeBron's Reps "Misled" The Heat

[bl2k8]

I have learned that maybe the reason for Riley's rant at the press conference is he tried to get a meeting with Lebron right away but only could talk to Rich Paul and was being given the run around

A few people have said Bron denied riley a face to face after the finals loss.

Everyone is telling Heat fans how they should feel and honestly Bron did Miami dirty the way he went out. At least give Pat the first chance to meet with you face to face. This nikka had Wade all out in Miami lookin stupid, had Pat flyin to Vegas nobody is gonna care tho cuz Miami fans been a pain in the ass the last 4 years

Si? or No?
corny ass muthafukka
ESPN has about 12 different Lebron "experts" on deck
The muthafukkas on the Cavs
He'll be on the Globetrotters in 2 years
Get over it

I know because hes the voice of Miami people are gonna say homerism, but this dudes been fairly objective about Miami sports for a while so I dont know if the agenda thing or scorness is really there like people say. It might very well have been Lebron's crew that wanted to back to Cleveland.

That said, I dont know if he misled them so much as kept them in the cold about it (Rich Paul refusing to grant Lebron a one to one). Its still kinda foul but at that point Riley should have known the writing was on the wall.

He was probably afraid Miami would get pissed and leak the news

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Lebron gave All these Miami talk show radio hosts a boost in they're careers and here this fakkit lebatard talking shyt

Dan Lebatard
Jorge Sedano
Israel Gutierrez

Have all benefited off Brons career

 

[madeyoulook]

It was a good PR move because you have dudes talking about "I have respect for Lebron now" just cause he went back to the cavs

I wonder why Lebron did not sign a longer deal with the cavs tho

Lebatard and Israel kinda been on before Bron though.

 

[john goodman]

If you think miami is pissed.. you should've seen the war room in philly

And so has Sedano

But they all got put on ESPN after bron came through

Lebatard with his show was the year after

Sedano on ESPN radio last year

And Gucci comin back on ESPN after being on the Miami herald

 

[Roid Jones]

People really thought that Heat got Napier because they were high on him

I'm not surprised in hearing LeBron's mother wanted to stay but I thought his wife wanted to leave.

What you call "doing them dirty," I call a "boss move".

He held all the chips and acted like it. No problem there.

 

[iamduval]

Even I originally bought it.

The more I learn the more I say fukk it. I figure the further away we move from the release of that SI article, the more we will learn.

Wouldn't surprise me if the thing that made him go back was Manziel being drafted at this point.

Ultimately, Riley betrayed his own philosophy and paid for it dearly. He went on an appeasement spree on his knees to beg. It seems to have motivated him though and it's clear that he's pushing all his chips for the next few years.

It was a great piece of propaganda by his team. It was beautiful. It touched people's hearts. There might have been a modicum of truth in there but we all know that if Wade didn't have struggle knees, Bron would have been right in Miami.

It's all good tho. Life goes on. This shyt is strictly entertainment
