You really gonna act like you never heard anybody suggest this? :comeon: Point is if dudes were as loyal as Riley was saying they should be 75% of the team wouldn't have even been there in the first place. :heh:

I think you're missing Riley's point.

So. Cal
I'm not in position to do what they do. I'm not 6'8 260 pounds and an athletic freak of nature on the level of bo Jackson. Only so many Gus built like Steve Nash play pro ball. It's gutless on account of him having this planned for 2 years and letting Riley make moves to compliment his skill set while he's actually planning to leave and only tells him now.
You're really immature breh. James came there and won. Conference Championships every year he was there and Two NAB titles. He held up to his part of the contract and now he is exercising a clause in that contract both sides agreed upon. Pat made moves to win a Championship. If one of those moves was to trade James to get closer to a title then so be it. You need to grow up and act like a man. James is doing best for him. It's ridiculous to call a man gutless after bring championships to your team for four years straight just because he chose to play in his home town.... Do you think Ken Griffey was gutless?

Chris Bosh was in the exact same boat as Lebron - he couldve left after being "called out" and gone home to Texas. But he stayed and is eager to step up and be a leader.

let Chris Bosh have more heart than you brehs:deadmanny:

What? That's it's only okay to "turn and run" if you are going TO Miami? :heh:

Lebron gave Cleveland 7 years of his life. He realized that he was never going to win a title there. He couldn't land the free agents he needed to win a title. He made a smart basketball decision to go to miami. I don't think it was "running"

Lebron went to miami, went to 4 straight finals and won 2 titles. shyt wasn't bad at all.

In Riley's eyes , yes he is. Basketball wise Lebron is leaving a better situation. Lebron is going back more for sentimental/emotional reasons

So why wasn't he running in Riley's eyes in 2010? Or was that acceptable running? If he's leaving a better situation how is he "running when things get difficult"?

Dwight never wanted to be in Los Angeles in the first place. He ain't the first center who couldn't get along with kobe. Lebron leaving is a matter of being gutless. Comes from not having a dad to raise you. I saw the press conference and wished I was him so I could play for a team run by Riley. Magic Johnson got shivers down his spine talking about how he wishes he could play for him again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ok first off, you gotta know your facts. Pat Riley was fired by the Knicks. He didn't "run" to miami

http://www.nj.com/knicks/index.ssf/...less_departure_from_the_knicks_went_down.html

Riley secretly negotiated a $40 million deal with Miami that included 10 percent ownership, Checketts won $1 million and a first-round pick in the ensuing tampering case, and the coach would become the kind of villain in New York t
Have you heard of google breh ?

Lebron is running back to a situation he has complete control of. If he won all 4 times while letting pat run it his way then he would be fine but if he losing then it gotta be his way with who he wants.

If It was a business and power move then it was the correct choice and if it was a basketball decision it would be stay and retool.

Now that bron got complete control again watch this nygga take 4/12-15 deal to bring in some more talent

So going to build a "worse" team to rebuild them and try to win the first title ever for less money is gutles ? As opposed to staying in a nice safe situation in Miami ? :snoop: you Miami fans are dumb as Bricks . I bet Riley also singlehandedly broght the big 3 to Miami
