Poor little Bron Bron.  Would you like some Karmasan cheese on that NBA title you choked on?

LeBron was the reason most people I know were rooting for Dallas.

I kind of wish it had gone to game 7 though.

It's pretty disgusting that ESPN is focusing on Miami.  They LOST!  More Dallas, please!

I saw a little bit of a Mark Cuban interview...he had been unusually quiet during the final series.

LOL, yeah.  He dropped a S**T on camera.  Not literally.  :P

He was quiet throughout the playoffs because he wanted to try to be quiet during series one.  Superstition carried that over to each series.  The players were riding him the entire time about it, too.

Everyone down here was saying this would be decided by game six. They were right.. except they expected the Heat to win it. This is the second sports disappointment I've had this weekend. Saturday Shane Carwin got an -whooping by Junior Dos Santos. Oh well...

Still... there is always next year.

What do you mean?  This is still going to be an interesting summer.  James is going to get thoroughly raked over the coals for months to come.

Yeah, I don't get that. I understand why the Cavs and their fans hate him, but the rest of the people that hate him... why?

I don't like him because he makes me think of an NBA's Julius Peppers. A total dickweed.

Even for a basketball player, his ego is huge.

I don't watch basketball but I do read intereviews when my espn mag comes in.

One thing is not liking him, but it is quite another to hate him as much as some people do. Besides, he isn't the only player with a huge ego. Hell, Barkley in his day was more arrogant and a prick.

true, but Barkley never referred to himself as King James, while speaking about himself in the third person :-p

That's true. He only referred to himself as "Sir" Charles.

Still better than "I love cleveland" King James.

I seriously have to question though why anyone that has over 10 million in their pocket moves to a higher paying job. You already have more money than god. What's the big deal if you make an extra 2-3 million a year?

Have you seen how these players spend? How many of them end up broke after their careers are over? an extra 2 - 3 millions lets you spend just a bit more a bit longer before you end up poor and broke.

Besides, I think you are forgetting that Le Bron wanted to go to a team where he could actually win a championship. I don't think that is going to happen with the Cavs. So why hate a guy because he wants more money and more fame?

I guess when you are only taught how to play ball, financial responsibility isn't covered.

Not at all. The majority of these professional athletes went to college and majored in "communications." Cause you know... they are all going to be sports broadcasters after their careers are over. Granted, ESPN have a crap-ton of channels, but there is no way they are going to provide enough jobs to these guys.

Barkley never would have thrown his team under a bus, either.  The people hate James because of his perceived lack of loyalty.

I don't know... he stayed with the Cavs for quite some time. Can you really blame him for wanting to play with a better team?

I did say "perceived" lack of loyalty.

That being said, he waited far too long to make the announcement, effectively holding the Cavs hostage.

The funny part is that any fan of all those other teams would be loving it if Le Bron had gone to their team. I just find it funny how they hate the guy, claim he lacks loyalty, but would give their right testicles (or ovaries) to have him play for their team.

As I said, I understand why the Cavs and their fans hate Le Bron. Everyone else... just childish hating you know...

As for me... I'll be a fan of his as long as they win. Sure, they didn't win the championship this year, but he won plenty. Hopefully the Heat win it all next year.

Maybe that's why you like him.  You got him AND you didn't have to give up a nut.  

And I can guarantee you this, Detroit would never have him.  We don't like prima donnas here.  Wade, on the other hand, is a class act and is full of heart.

Nah... I like him so far because he is pretty good and the Heat is doing good with him. Once he starts sucking completely then it's over. It's how Miami does sports. If you're good and you win, we like you. If Le Bron starts losing, we'll turn on him like a pack of rabid wolves and tear him limb from limb.

As to wade... yeah, he is a classy guy. Can't think of anything about that guy that would make you not like him, much less hate him.
