He sucked ass in game 5 of that series. For the series overall he literally doubled up Paul Pierce's production. The fact that to this day people say Bron "quit" in that series despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary does nothing but support my stance that people are not gonna take it easy on him for any reason. Way to ignore the rest of my post BTW.

Why are you comparing LeBron to Pierce? :dahell:

Only time will tell how the national media will react to him this year if he doesn't win a chip but already on here you can see it - "winning 1 in cleveland is better than 5 in miami" :rudy:

Yeah, i think they did have some feeling. They were targeting Deng when free agency first began and there wouldnt be any way he was signing there unless Bron was gone from the money he sought/got.

And do people really think he faked a cramp to purposely throw a NBA Finals and opportunity at a ring :snoop:

People think he played like a bytch in 2011 to keep Wade from getting Finals MVP breh. :dead: There are no limits. :mjlol:

Y'all nikkas are so used to people of your OWN skin color being fukked over and jerked that you incorrectly label a "Boss Move" as "cold and dirty". nikkas this is BUSINESS plain and simple and in BUSINESS the objective is to ALWAYS come out on top. ESPECIALLY when legacy, millions of dollars, and championships are on the line. Lebron made the move that HE felt was best for HIM and that's all that matters when it comes to BUSINESS.

The only thing about his move that even remotely could rub one the wrong way was not forcing Gilbert to make a public apology for his plantation master rant 4 years ago. That would have been one of my prerequisites for returning. The rest of this bullshyt is only about Cacs being mad that Lebron is breaking the status quo and fully utilizing his talents and power to script his own narrative, which is what rich elite Cacs have been doing since forever.


If Lebron and his people were smart enough to plan this all out 4 years ago then these Muthafukkas are GENIUSES and should be heralded by the black community for doing something that we see FAR too few black entertainers do, plan ahead.


At the end of the day who the fukk is Pat Riley? A rich Cac made richer off of Lebron's talent, no different that Gilbert.


Who the fukk are the Heat fans? A mass of individuals willing to pay to be entertained by watching Lebron run, shoot, and dunk a basketball. No different than Cleveland fans.


Y'all want to get caught up in these phrases like "loyalty" like any Cac has had or will EVER have true loyalty to a black person. This is a multimillion dollar cake that Lebron is baking and EVERYONE wants a piece of it, why shouldn't it be LEBRON HIMSELF in the end who is the sole dictator of who gets the larger slice? And more importantly he should get back EXACTLY what he demands.

How do you double up Paul Pierce and play like ass breh? Once again there was more to my original thread and once again you are only focusing on this piece. I guess I have no choice but to take that as a sign that you either agree with or can't refute the rest. :ehh:

To sit here and act like the most scrutinized player of the last decade plus is suddenly gonna be free from all scrutiny and pressure is comical. And if it does happen then that just shows how the national media can be manipulated and how baseless and random and emotional and biased their narratives can be. Maybe people should start making up their own mind based of what actually happens rather than riding with the national media (when it's convenient that is).

I will always dislike gilbert for that letter shyt but I still applaud Lebron for takin control of his career. I still believe their are some other incentives for Lebron and his circle that we are not yet privy 2. The same moves he is being maligned for by white journalists would be celebrated if Lebron was white.

THEY KNEW...
THATS WHY RILEY CAME OUT FIRING IN THAT PRESS CONFERENCE.
LE BATARD IS A HEAT SHILL...
NOT SURE WHY DUDES ALWAYS TAKING HIS WORD AS TRUTH.

BRON BEEN dikk RIDING NAPIER SINCE THE TOURNEY...
RILES WAS TRYING TO DO WHAT HE COULD TO GET BRON TO STAY.
:devil:
:evil:


I don't think they did know. While Miami was given the run around they thought everyone else was too. For all anyone knew Lebron was on vacation and all meetings were being taken through Rich Paul including Cleveland. Only later did it come out that during that time Lebron and his team had a face to face with Dan Gilbert. Hell it was put out through the media that Riley's meeting with Lebron in Vegas was Lebron's first actual face to face meeting with any teams at all.

Whether Arison/Riley knew is irrelevant to me. What I really find interesting, and no one seems to talk about it, is that LeBron wasn't going to tell them. This is 2010 all over again. Only difference is he turned it into a positive PR move.


Dude is such a nice guy that when it comes to this kind of stuff he completely avoids the confrontation. He doesn't want to seem cruel and shrewd but that's just how it comes off anyway. That's why Gilbert wrote the letter. That's why Riley thought the Heat still had a chance.

Who was guarding him? :sas2: If Pierce played like ass how does the guy that doubled him up while contributing to his ass play like ass too?

Funny how the discussion has moved from the prevailing narrative to how poorly Paul Pierce played in 2010. :mjlol: Dudes will cling to any thread possible to shyt on dude rather than acknowledging how silly some of these talking points are. :mindblown:

TYRONE GA!
This is not true breh.


The Cavs practice facility is in Independence, Ohio (a Cleveland suburb)......LeBron's house is about 30-40 minutes away in Bath Township (Akron Suburb)


Downtown Cleveland, where the Cavs used to practice at 1 Court Center in the Quicken Loans Arena, is about 40 minutes-50 minutes from LeBron's house.


:ohhh:

Can't believe the fukkin media....
