    He goes from being a hero to being a total dick in Cleveland. OK, if he wants to leave, so be it. But don't act like there's 5 other teams you might sign with. Seems it might not be a good idea to piss off New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago markets. Let alone a Cleveland market who will boycott anything to do with him. He took less money to go to Miami. Hopefully he will lose more than that in endorsements.

    Sucks for Beasley. Have all those guys coming to Miami and get shipped off to Minnesota.

    Welcome, NC
    I'm no NBA fan anymore, but I'll go see Lebron play in Miami, just because I go there a lot and can basically walk to the arena from where I am, I'll pull for them since I really don't have a team. I can see why Cleveland and their fans would be pissed though. And I also don't get the whole "announcement" thing. I can't believe they have a whole show and make such a big production to tell where one player has decided to go. Ridiculous. :guns4: :guns4:

    It's one thing to sign with another team in hopes of getting a championship but the way Labron did it by getting a 1 hr show shows what a huge ego LaBron has. Not to mention he rubs Cleveland's face in shit for the whole world to see.

    I will find it less impressive even if Lebron wins multiple championships given the way he basically "bought" any future rings by signing with basically an all star team as compared to say what Jordan did in Chicago. Yes, I know a ring isn't guaranteed but he's got a pretty good chance don't ya think?

    You can not blame Miami for doing this. It seems to go against the nature of having a salary cap when it is possible for a team to sign three guys of this caliber. I kinda wonder if it is really going to work out as well as everyone thinks. You have to think the rest of their roster will be filled with scrubs for the most part. None of those three guys are going to be able to deal with an elite center. An elite point guard will give them trouble too.
