Sad part is, I bet Lebron's gonna drag out his decision as far as possible.

It'll be at least a week.
Don't wanna make it seem too orchestrated.

He was on for a brief moment maybe 7-10min.

He was showed a Knicks Hat and respected everything the hat stood for and MSG's history. Showed him with a Yankee fitted on getting read for some gig or interview

He said no matter where he plays he knows he can only go up and improve as a player.

He said he walked the streets of Omaha Nebraska and everyone knew who Buffet was but not him....lol

He refers to Buffet as Uncle Warren

Held the interview on Cleveland Clinic Courts Cleveland logos all around...

He said he loves going to other arenas being cheered while taking the hearts out of the opponents he's playing against

He made a slip during the interview and said We/Our as if he's still a Cav.

Ultimately he sounded as if he probably still has a strong desire to win a Chip in Cleveland. At least 1.

If that's the case, he probably shouldn't have phoned it in against the Celtics.

I think you mean to say that they're in the same division.

But yeah, we talked about that a little earlier in the thread. The Bulls (MJ's Bulls) are responsible for the most famous defeat of the Cavaliers in their history. The Shot over Ehlo is considered to be one of the greatest game winners of all time. That was against the Cavaliers.

Can you imagine Lebron teaming up with Noah...a guy who trashed and mocked Cleveland throughout their series? Who Cavs fan made public enemy #1 because he insulted their beloved player AND their city?

Would ANYBODY be able to defend Lebron's decision to go to the Bulls after all that? That would be pretty damn classless.

Lebron was a Bulls fan growing up so I think he loved that MJ shot.

Lebron and Noah have essentially made up, saying nice things about each other after. This is in the heat of playoff battle and wasn't aimed at Lebron himself. This is so not an issue.

No one will blame Lebron for going to Chicago -- the best team w/capspace -- anymore than any place else. In fact it's harder to stomach Lebron going to NY to give them a championshiop when your own home town needs way more help than NY.

your not understanding. the whole point is that if Lebrons loves Cleveland he's not going to go to Chicago when Jordan killed them. and even if lebron made up with Noah cleveland fans haven't and lebron knows it

Really, I doubt Cleveland cares where he goes, just if he stays. If he cared about those issues he'd stay. If he goes, he'll go to where he thinks it's best for him, period -- not where it'll damage the Cleveland psyche the least.

The fact that he's still skirting around with his words shows that he DOES want to let down Cleveland easily.

This is an old interview -- recorded well before the playoffs began. So he was still a Cav at that point, and thought they'd win a title. That's why it was filmed at Cleveland courts, after a practice.

They just released more of it yesterday (the Knick hat part). Old interview though.

Still, I like:

“This is greatness” ... unbelievable franchise” ... about the Knicks

According to a source, LeBron James is in discussions with Nike to create a new shoe for every city visited along a free-agent tour that will take him to New York, then Chicago, and possibly on to Miami and Los Angeles depending on his interest.

The source's opinion is that James will remain a Cav in the end.

i thought about the same thing when i read the article.

Lebron isn't going anywhere this summer. He's using these cities to get a little pocket change with his sneakers.
