Can't blame Mo if you had watched the "lebron is gay" youtube clip. They were tight, too tight I guess.

I dont get the replies saying they understand where Mo is coming from. In any job you work people come and people go if you have friends where you work or one of them is a really good employee that makes your job a lil easier would you cash in your RRSP for an early retirement just because that other person got a new job?

It has nothing to do with the "hes making millions" jealousy thing like another poster brought up its about being a MAN grow a pair Mo.

He didn't actually quit. He just thought about it.

I once thought about stealing something I wanted. Does that make me a thief?
I once thought about drawing a picture. Does that make me an artist? Etc.

Apparently millionaires aren't allowed to admit they have, you know, thoughts and feelings and stuff.

That should be the new tagline for every EA Sports franchise.

On a parallel tangent, it would be interesting to see a sports game where you take control not of a player but of a fan. The opportunities for recursivity would be mind-boggling.

I think he was hurt but he's definately over exaggerating here ... he wasn't ever considering retiremnet, probably wanted to give the media a quote.

I already said it has nothing to do with the millions. Yes I respect his right to make his own decisions, but i also have the right to my own opinions. Yes he contemplated but didnt follow through, but are you seriously gonna tell me if one of your co-workers got a new job and left, you would think about retiring? Yes if it was a bad workplace and when the other guy left morale dropped then maybe you look for a new working environment but not retirement. And yes millionaires can have thoughts and feelings, Im jus using my free speech to say i think this millionaire thinks and has feelings like a B*tch.

I like how Mo gets sympathy for contemplating retirement after Lebron left, but nobody brings up that he'd be quiting on the city of Cleveland. What Mo jus proved is that he, like some sports fans are lil girls in grown mens bodies acting like spurned lovers when their hero leaves town.

I would, because I have. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Everyone has moments of weakness.

Or maybe he just watched an awesome job suddenly and momentarily turn into a relatively crappier one, and reacted to it? I think the term the kids use these days for such a situation is "ragequit".

So your retired? Once again I will reiterate there is a difference between retiring and finding a new situation. Moving to a different job = moving to a different team. retirement=RETIREMENT

In regards to his job becoming crappy, his job is nba player his situation is starting pg for Cavs. While his situation may have become crappy he has the same "profession" he had when he was with the bucks. I guess all the players on the other 29 teams should quit because they have crappy jobs not getting to be on lebrons team?

After looking around the web pretty sure this is the only board that took the bleeding heart approach :D

It never ceases to make me laugh when I see people refer to the life of an NBA player earning $9m a season to play basketball as being like 'any other job'. Seriously, go get paid $9m a year for doing something you love doing and would do for free and then tell me it's just like any other job. Being a child and reacting to your team getting worse by tossing the toys out is not an acceptable reaction, it's the reaction of a bitch, which is why he's wearing so much flack.

"No WIll" is a bit of a loser. A couple of years ago he bitched about not making it to the all-star team the first go-around (I believe he was an injury replacement). Now, he doesn't feel confident enough to be the #1 option. I'm glad he'll get exposed as a fraud all-star now.

Mo just said this so he could get some media time. Without Lebron by his side, I don't see any coverage for his ass.

You and I and every other person on this board would gladly play in Russia for McDonald's money.

But you're making a lot of assumptions. Does Mo Williams actually love doing what he does? Would he do it for free? Or is it just a job for him?

Obviously. But the thing everyone here seems to be glossing over is the fact that he only admitted to thinking about it. He didn't actually do it.

It never ceases to make me laugh when I see people find the most trivial and ridiculous reasons to hate on somebody, even though there are plenty of perfectly reasonable and legitimate reasons to hate on the guy.

But whatever, I'm done with this. Pardon me for interrupting the circlejerk.
