I want to say this in the most positive non hating way, but I really really can’t wait until LeBron retires. The NBA would be in such a better place without him.

Guess it also helps when you the best player in their franchise history and brought them their only title :wink: . But it´s Lebron, so somehow it would be a story if he´d be seen eating a slice of Pizza in New York and some people would find a reason to get mad about it.

Yeah, some people on here are pathologically obsessed with this man :lol:

We know everything LeBron does is about sending a message though. I just don’t know what he thinks it actually accomplishes though.

Lebron didn't post this. The guy who posted it is like a trainer/coach, looking at his profile, looks like he works with a good amount of girls basketball too.

The guy tagged it as him having a chance to meet great people while getting shots up. So the direct implication is that he was getting shots up, Lebron was in the area and of course he has access to all these places, so he's getting shots up too, and the guy asked for a picture.

Anyone spinning that as Lebron making a statement or sending a message would really need to be manuevering some made up details into the situation.

The divorce between Lebron and the Lakers is on. When the Lakers traded AD, you could see it happening. The Lakers FO just said, "They see Lebron as an expiring contract". Guess what that means - TRADE.

Does this happen often? Lets find other posts of him at the Cavaliers facility. Maybe it’s just sheer coincidence this time.

Looking further, this is Cavs summer league rookie Denver Jones

He spends time in Cleveland every summer. If you're an NBA player in Cleveland and you want to practice basketball, and there's an NBA practice facility available for you to use, where else would you go?

Some seem happier when they're bitching about LeBron. They want him to retire so bad but be the first to jump in a thread to criticize him.

He came back for Big Z's jersey retirement in March 2014, LeBron signed with the Cavs in July 2014.

Like someone else said, LeBron knows exactly what he's doing, he's very calculated.

I mean if switching teams and leading them to titles with all new rosters/hc is so easy to do then what stopped MJ from doing it in 98? He was so scared of trying it that he retired rather than even try to do it. Why? Because he was too scared to tarnish his carefully manicured legacy and didn't wanna play without the Phil/Scottie safety blanket. Just like when he knew he was running low on energy or drive he retired in 93. MJ just chose to retire yet again when things didn't seem perfect to him. That's a reality that you just refuse to acknowledge because you place him on such a pedestal.

When did the Lakers put out that statement?

Doesn't seem like an overly professional or productive thing for the team to put out publicly.
