I'll never understand why one man got so much anger and hate for simply exercising his right as a free agent
yeah, just another ho-hum, run of the mill FA signing. No different than any other star changing teams.
Someone remind me why Lebron was so hated for "The Decision" in 2010?

@Basaglia made a good ass point last week on the show about how the shyt transcended race when he realized that there were black people in Cleveland that were mad.
Did they not deserve to be mad? Just asking.

Anyone "deserved" to be mad.. They just need to stop lying to themselves and everyone else about why they were..

You see, that's why I'm proud of my city.
Sure the nga bounced but there have been a few knuckleheads who did some knucklehead things.
But for the most part, this is Miami. And LeBron is an Ohioan.
It sucks that he left this city but bla bla bla..................

hyperbole to get the crowd fired up and excited for a new era. nothing more and nothing less. nobody really expected them to win 7 championships and if you did, then you're the definition of a casual fan.

The same reason Heat fans are mad in 2014...Because he didn't chose their team...
I mean we can make it about the SI letter, or him taking too long, or not calling Mickey Arison, or not responding to Riley's texts and having secret dinners with Dan Gilbert...
But the reality is if he resigned in Miami, NONE of that ancillary sh1t would matter...The ROOT of the anger is where he went and not how he did it..Eventually everyone will see this as time passes..A small minority was able to call it out in the moment...
Imagine explaining to your grand kids 40 years from now why LeBron was one of the most hated athletes in America...And then picture the bewildered look on their faces when they try to figure out what in Gods name you're talking about..

Outrage is captured for a short time. Always in re telling it years later does it expose how stupid it often is to begin with
This is about as generic as it can get bruh. I find it hard to believe that everyone outside of Cleveland was mad becuz he didn't go to their team.
I think a part of it is race. "Who does the niggra think he is trying to take control of his career?"
I also believe that a part of it is people being outraged by the TV and pep rally.
Neither mattered to me. He had a choice to make and he made it.

"So grandpa. This Lebron guy was free to go to another team? And announced it on a TV show and gave little kids millions of dollars in the process? Then he went to his new city and celebrated with their fans? And he was more hated in America than that quarterback in Pittsburgh that was accused of raping multiple women?"
"Tell us more about the good ole days and your old school values grandpa"

Just stupid, man. Especially hearing idiots tying it to his legacy.
Lord knows how over the top future athletes are going to be compared to Lebron....but let niqqas tell it 20 years from now how bad the Decision was.
Just DUMB

Yeah that goes without saying.. I was speaking on the angry Black people that were ready to grab their fire torches and storm the castle along side the klansmen for whatever dumb reason they created in their head...This is about as generic as it can get bruh.

For the sake of your credibility as a rational human being please don't tell the next generation about how you felt in the future.. We all can pretend that it didn't happen...
nikka I didn't care about the extravagant displays then and I don't care now. The fukk are you talking about?
