Name the last letter where a player tied himself to his community on his return.

You act as if Bron wasn't about what was going on with Trayvon, the ACA & fundraising for Obama. Since when has Bron given off the vibe, in an era of self centered "I needed more facts" disconnected athletes, that letter wasn't a reflection of what he's been?

ya'll the same nikkas that ssit up and watch espn cats and follow all these twitter dudes and read their opinions yet a nba great can't when Time calls him and ask for his opinion
Kareem was dropping knowledge and including his own personal experiences and hippin Bron to how things are and it's nothing but the truth. if the boy Walt had written the same thing (it was very walt-esk) ya'll would have dapped him up a hundred times

Real fukking talk.

i do agree with kareem though. those cleveland fans aint forgetting that shyt...

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Kareem is getting too grandiose about the feelings of supposedly jaded Cavs fans. Especially on Brons exodus about It being full of himself. I never got that vibe.

Dude was talking to Cleveland and the NE Ohio area on his come back. He felt he owed them those words....Cap is acting as the essay was some pompous charter on Brons part.

Stop it Cap

That's you tho....... you're not a Cleveland fan.

Where have you sen evidence of this?

 

[NYC Rebel]

That's you tho....... you're not a Cleveland fan.

And where are these Cleveland fans he's speaking for that are leery of Bron 48 hours into his return? Have you seen them?

 

[NYC Rebel]

That's you tho....... you're not a Cleveland fan.

Secondly...if they felt that way, why is Cap bytching when Bron basically wrote a letter humbling himself TOO them?

I don't care how beautiful the word salad Cap is tossing. He made up his mind coming in that Bron wasn't going to win either way to him. He acts as if he doesn't have athletes in LA he could air out

 

[hood b. goode]

lebron left because he didn't want to spend his prime being bounced from the playoffs. been there and did that.

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Cleveland fans have forgiven but have not forgotten. Tread carefully Time Lord...

See: Bolded.

You're gonna tell me that there wasn't a sense of overwhelming resentment towards Bron, from Cavs fans after he made a 'spectacle' of his exit in 2010?

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

That letter was a great piece of propaganda. It tugged at people's heart strings, made his decision about more than basketball, humanized him. Great chess move.

Of course that's true of that was what we were talking about. I'm talking about Kareem speaking on their feelings NOW....not the captain obvious reaction we all saw

Again...when has Bron showed that he wasn't about people?
