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

first off, stop puttin words in my mouth. I never said Lebron was "gutless." Secondly, in not a heat fan. Lebron is going back to Cleveland to rebuild his image, to raise his family, to do community/philanthropist work and to build his community. All things I have no issue with. But winning rings isn't a priority

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

Lebron had control the last time he was in Cleveland. And how did that work out for him :stopitslime:

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 ?

Meanwhile in New York, the Knicks aren't any closer to a parade than they were the day Pat Riley left. If it didn't seem like such a bad idea letting him go in 1995, it sure does now.

Read my brotha read :stopitslime:

Knicks gm Dave Checketts and Riley had beef and didn't see eye to eye. Riley wanted more power within the Knicks organization so they gave Riley the boot

Upon further review, Riles press conference arrogance made Bron's return home decision easier:yeshrug:

...this is how you really feel, after I bring you two rings in the span of 4 years, then deuces:camby:

If he was leaving he was leaving... Lebron can't go Shaq on Riley, he didn't win shyt before.

Riles told him, here we're proven, you've already won, we know the blueprints, history will remember us...or you can go home.

Some of you dudes claiming Bron was offended by Riley press conference, but then co-signing his return to work for an owner who said what he said, clearly shows the power of media conditioning. Stop falling for the hollywood happy ending that the media is trying to stuff down your throat[pause if you male]
bu bu he's from Ohio...let BRon had been a bust, he would've been traded without a second thought

No pause needed. The term is force feeding. Pause might be needed upon further review actually. That can still sound bad

I respect Riley even more for it. You can't run. If LeBron didn't like it I'd say he's a little sensitive, you gotta have some guts
Nahh u just gotta do your own thing and not worry about what others think, if Riley wants to think of Lebron as being gutless he has the right. But Lebron has his right to not pay any attention to that and do what he wants...


The world is filled with fakkets that want to control other people and make their own decisions for them :dry:
