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

[the next guy]

look at all these new Lebron defenders who were NOWHERE to be found when he was gettin blasted by the national media for 4 years

heat nation defended this guy for 4 years when he was one of the most hated athletes in american history and a national punchline. now nikkas wanna come out and be lebron fans when he's the good guy again

matter of fact...some of yall defending him now were responsible for a lot of that hate

Well I don't know what your were expecting Breh, people hate Miami and Florida.

I was listening to one of those fukking shows last friday talking about Riley's "man up" conference after the Finals and apparently the story goes that Riley wanted to meet immediately with Bron the next day after the Finals but was told by Bron to talk to Rich Paul first. This supposedly pissed off Riley and thus the press conference Riley scheduled.

I bet pat riley didn't tell lebron to man up and stay in cleveland when he was a free agent in 2010

 

[Raw Lyrics]

he sounds a little scorned

He's....

 

[Big Boss]

Nope....too late


You and the Heat stans already gave us all the excuses why it was legit

 

[Methodical]

I actually dismissed that on some "that doesn't mean anything" type shyt at the time.



So it's Bron's fault that these other grown ass men were waiting on him to make their moves? He wasn't stopping anybody from doing anything that they wanted to do. As far as we know he didn't lie or make any promises so what's unprofessional...being methodical and making choices on your own time without giving anyone any indication as to what you are doing until you actually do it aka sound business strategy?

It is comical how deeply entrenched in their feelings people get over this dude. Got nikkas sounding like dudes who didn't get their phone calls returned from a chick that they were sweating heavy. It's comical how you can mislead someone by being noncommittal. Bu...bu...but she said she was thinking about it MIA fans were over this same behavior 4 years ago and now it's so wrong.

Of course there is PR component but I don't think anybody chooses to live/play in Cleveland over MIA, LA, PHX, HOU strictly for PR.

No, it's not LeBron fault because he makes his own decisions, unlike all these opther players who be d!ck riding him waiting on him to see what he is going to do that had me especially Melo. Make y'all own decisions and stop worrying wtf LeBron is going to sing or go. What I'm saying is that LeBron and his entourage were unprofessional moves on Pat Riely because he was waiting for his answer too. If he already had planned that he's going back to Cavs then he should let Pat knows that "I ain't coming back to Miami" .

 

[Big Boss]

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.

He didn't do that with Cleveland though. Pat knew that. So why would he expect any different this time? How is it unprofessional to keep your plans close to the vest and exploit your power/worth? If that's the case then EVERY successful business person is unprofessional.

Pretty sure he wasn't talking about "loyalty" or "sticking it out"

SAS said when lebron met pat back in 2010, pat just showed his 5 rings

The irony. Paul Pierce ain't the only thing I brought up...just happens to be the only thing you wanted to respond to...until of course you didn't . Just stop breh. What is even your point right now? I have thoroughly refuted every point you have put forth and now we are going back and forth over who is mad about Paul Pierce being discussed? If you have a basis please present it if not I have nothing more to say.

Didn't Pierce go bucket for bucket for game 7 of that series? Or am I confusing series? I know one pivotal game, Lebron had like 48 and Pierce like 41, 42.


People disrespecting Pierce cause he had a couple of bad playoff games....when just his presence on the court during that time was a threat to opposing teams.

You are thinking about 08...the year the C's won it all. I was talking about 2010.

Thought you had better things to do breh? The best way to sever ties to a discussion is to...you know...stop engaging in it. I've made all my points clear and provided basis for them. When discussing predictions the past operates as the only thing we have to go on. What has happened to this point does not support your prediction. Feel free to continue having better things to do and severing ties by responding yet again. Unless you have something that refutes all that I have laid out I am done.

History also says that LeBron leaves his team during rough patches...are you saying based off that, LeBron will leave Cleveland should things go south? If the past is the only thing we have to operate on...

He might. I wouldnt' be surprised. Would you? Either way I am not going to ignore or worse yet completely fabricate what actually happened to push an agenda/talking point.
