Lebron never deserved the backlash he got with the first move.
He just got caught in the toxic stew of the entire Midwest's economy collapsing in 2009-2010.
Them nikkas was bleeding and he dipped out to South Beach. They took it personal.
Had it been any other time, he'd never have become the "villain." No Gilbert letter, no burned jerseys - just another young Ohioan moving out to seek a better future.![]()
Damn he about to be 34
Barkley dream KG ray and others was shipped out by 31-32
I remember they called the Boston big 3 old at 31
When is he able to do what he wants without getting that backlash?![]()

how can u go forward in time to discuss an accomplishment that year at the time they were the best
they had to call for backup cause lebron had them shook![]()

If anything, Cleveland needs to build a giant statue of LeBrons nuts in front of the arena so that every time there's a game there, fans go kiss it to pay their respects.

Under normal circumstances you would be correct, but you have to understand that lebron is literally a walking economy. His presence in cle was reported to be an extra 500million for the city. Also, I went to Cleveland in January and it’s hilarious if you go many people will say that all these nice buildings and aspects to the city started showing up a couple years ago and guess when lebron came back.The Cavs organization pays for LeBron's servicesHe's there of his free will. There is no "deserves". If he leaves, people who hate him will hate and his stans will have to research a minimum of 20 years of his new team's history so they can acclimate. It is what it is. But let's not bring terms like "deserve" into a sport that pays it's players handsomely

...when he leaves this time, i'm going to burn a lebron jersey.................with a cleveland fan still in it.
