LeBron Beat the Celtics, Apologized to Cleveland

The ignorance of eboy never ceases. I love it! I’m looking for mavs heat the rematch.

@toinefan88… i don’t see where any cheating went on at any point for this heat team.

should the cavs feel hurt that he just said
“i couldn’t do it by myself”, i mean their were at least 12 others on that team, but yes, they did all suck.

There are few people that can’t respect Bron’s game, and too many that don’t respect him as a person. What he did to Cleveland, was brutal and heartbreaking in a way, that city deserved better than a tv special. I won’t say that this makes up for THEIR pain, but to me as a person who was disgusted with how it played out, I respect him a lot more for finally admitting properly, that he was wrong. It takes a man to say those words, and Lebron’s finally grown up to me.

man, why’d it take this for everyone to finally realize that lebron isn’t the monster the media made him out to be?
lebron owed the city of Cleveland NOTHING. if anything, they should be thanking his a*s for restructuring their city and actually bringing them any sort of relevance.
let’s not act like y’all didn’t WANT a spectacle to watch, EVERYBODY here watched the decision and only said it was despicable once he said miami. and he raised money for a boys and girls club while doing it.
he took less money and made a decision best for him, why should he have toiled away in cleveland, to make ppl happy? f*ck that.
props to bron.

Well you are entitled to your opinion.
But, you seem to be far more adept at reading the intentions behind LeBron’s actions than me.
After all, you’ve decided the whole pose at midcourt was a show. It couldn’t have been a moment of honest reflection because obviously, LeBron is incapable of that. The press conferences after the fact, where he apologized and discussed his mindset were all for show because obviously, LeBron is a masterful judge of what it takes to make the media and public love him, right?
Yeah, ok.
Dude hit clutch shot after clutch shot in the past two games. He admitted he made a bad decision and explained why he made it.
For a cat whose clutchness and attitude I have openly questioned to have that kind of performance followed by making those statements, it was a great moment.
And, yes, I think that if you couldn’t appreciate it, just like if you couldn’t appreciate Kobe admitting that he messed up by gunning in Game Seven last year, then you don’t really love basketball.
You might love teams or players, but you don’t just love watching the game unfold at the highest level.
If I’m on a high horse then I’m cool with the view.

Why do you have to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo extra LeBron? Really! Why?

U lov bigup u chess too much fe me and gowan like uz a bad mon! Move!

@BC it may not me relatively a bigger market, but the location & and owner with deeper pockets its a no brainer….

why do you have to type like thaaaaaaaat Red Star? What the hell did you just say?? haha

It’s hilarious. There is nothing but hate, if he stayed in CLE and didn’t win a title, he’d be the “Greatest to never win it.” If a Free Agent came to CLE and they won they would say “He couldn’t do it until (insert name) joined him.” Now he has joined a team, taken less money and has put himself in the position to win it all. But it will always be “He had to team up to do it.” There is so much hate for one person, but as a True Basketball fan you can’t help but love his game. And for the posters above citing Durant and Rose as “humble” winners/people, What have they won? Am I missing something?

Say what you say Crawfish. The Heat dissmissed the Celts with style. THAT’s WHAT COUNTS !! BYE BYE CELTS. No disrespect to Celts. Bron is King + he likes his steaks well done. BRING ON Miss Carla Boozer the M.V.P. & THE rest of the BULLS !!!! Let’s crush em like some ricecakes !!! Word to yours.

I don’t write comments very often but when I do, I often wonder why. Allenp just says everything I want to, but about x1000 more articulated. as the kids say, cosine that ish!

Hopefully this is the last time I’ll comment on a Lebron post in a way that’s not entirely about on-court exploits. As someone who is regarded as being of the “older set” on this site, I find Lebron’s move to Miami slightly distasteful because it played out so publicly. Is that 100% Lebron’s fault? No. We have a 24-7-365 sporting news cycle. Back in the day, dudes demanded trades and the local papers would roast them for a couple days, the fans would boo them on their first trip back and then it was over. Lebron’s life is dissected non-stop. Personally, I think jumping ship when you haven’t even reached your prime is a bit weak, but I’ve come to the point where I just say “Meh, dude did what he did and now other teams have to load up to beat the Heat.” Luckily for me, I’m a Knick fan, so we have the deep pockets to do it. What Lebron really caused to happen, inadvertently I assume, was that the veneer of love and loyalty in pro sports was finally ripped off and discarded. Adults root for and love their teams, but we understand that underneath it all, there is a business and teams will trade our favorite players to make the team better, regardless of what that does to the player’s life. Lebron had every right to leave as a Free Agent as countless other Free Agents have done before him. The very public way he did it had to have caused some damage to younger fans that still root for their teams assuming that the players share the same love and loyalty that they do. For a young kid to hear his favorite player say “I had to leave because the Celtics were too good” likely doesn’t make much sense to him/her. The NBA is a business. Now it’s time for NY to go out and buy a better team than the Heat. Go Economics!!!

Stop your beef because it’s OVA CHICKEN !!!!!

I disagree w LB, i believe he should have stayed in Cleveland and he should have brought other players to beat Celtics and others teams. He could have brought Amare, CP, Boozer, Deron or even Mello. Miami and Wade was not the ONLY choice. Worse, in 15-20-year time he will not walk as a king but as a traitorous. I am sorry but home should be in first place than victory just as many have been doing like Kobe, Dirk,Pierce, Jordan, Ducan and etc.

@Flavio – of all the players you list, I think Amare and Deron are the only ones that would have actually gone to Cleveland. Melo wanted NY in the worst way. Boozer burned too many bridges in Cleveland. He would have had to sign for the minimum and crawl through the streets of Cleveland on broken glass to get the fans to take him back. Chris Paul seems content in NO. Of course, that could just be that he learned from The Decision and is going to force a trade quietly. Amare was going wherever the guaranteed, long-term money was. The Cavs had their chance to get Amare and they blew it. I guess JJ Hickson is going to be the man some day.

@flavio- It took a while for LEBRON to make that decision because he was waiting on Cleveland to make something happen. He wanted Ray Allen so bad to play for Cleveland but Ray was already situated in Boston. All the other big names was already taken at the time so when he learned that Bosh was heading to Miami he boarded that ship and made the 1 hour special announcement. I’m not from OHIO but I know this much, LEBRON never rep CLEVELAND it was always AKRON that he reflect to as HOME!

As George Lopez would say “Why you crying?” Seriously. Dios mio! Its the 2nd round. Save your tears till, or if, you win a title. Who you think you are? Tears for Fears?

I still have friends arguing that Lebron will be known as a Pippen. This isn’t MJ and Pip, this is MJ Beta and MJ Beta on the same team…

I admitted I was wrong in TPU about the Heat getting beat in the 2nd round. And yes, Boston is old. So what are we arguing again?

Cleveland should have got him someone better to play with. Nobody can win with Antawn Jamison and Boobie Gibson. Look how awful they are without him.

Cleveland fans should be mad at the Cavs front office for continually putting out a supporting cast of talentless players.

LeBron turned Mo Williams in to an All-Star for crying out loud.

I personally don’t have a problem wit D Wade or Lebron…but I am a Celtics fan and I am surprised that not many have pointed out da obvious about da difference between da Heat and da Cs…when da Celtics got 2gether they came 2gether sacrificing their individual greatness 2 embrace da concept of winning a title 2gether as a TEAM!!!following da tradition of Celtic teams that came before them…they got everyone involved and won battles against talented teams as a cohesive unit….ubuntu….remember…however da Heat r a 3…well…I mean a 2 1/2 (with Bosh) man rotation with 1 or maybe 2 occasional other players contributing sometimes…not da true definiton of a TEAM @ ALL…don’t believe…jus check da stats…regular season…and playoffs…even da elimination game…33…34…and I can’t even remember I think Bosh had like 20…..really guys!?! That’s what it took 2 dethrone da eastern conference champs….

why couldn’t he convince Wade and Bosh to come to Cleveland instead?

It’s not about population its about popularity
Noah said it correctly who moves to Cleveland
The night life in Miami is bigger than Chicago trailing only la an ny
Everything stays open in miami the women in Miami is off the chain only Cali
Women are more approachable unlike the women up north smh

I with the person who stated they don’t care who win at least the LAKERS are out!!!!!!!!!!!!
I not a Bull’s fan. Heat players are more exciting to watch!!!! I’m also proud of those Grizzles as well!!!For them to get this far is great to see too.
