What other NBA players think of LeBron's move 

Post#1 » by heathmalc » Sat Jul 10, 2010 7:05 pm

.
Here are some excepts of what other NBA players & people think about LeBron's "decision."

Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson also thinks James hurt his star power with his decision. "He took the easy way out," Lawson said. "They're promoting him as being the King, but he has to get help from Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

Julian Wright: I guess teams shouldn't put all of their ego eggs in one basket... - Twitter

Frank Isola: Dream of LeBron ended for Knicks in March when LeCon's mom Gloria screamed at Berman of NY Post to get out of her way. True story. Blame him - Twitter

Did you watch the LeBron James special? Joe Tait: I mostly certainly did. Your reaction? Joe Tait: It was an embarrassment to everyone involved -- the league, ESPN, LeBron, everyone. Making it worse, they didn't even know it was an embarrassment. Is that all? Joe Tait: How about this: It also was a culmination of six weeks of [free agent] unbridled idiocy.

What did you think of [Cavs owner] Dan Gilbert's letter? Joe Tait: It was great! Outstanding!

LeBron James paid the "journalist" who interviewed the hoops megastar for the ESPN special that revealed his decision to sign with the Miami Heat, it was revealed yesterday. Jim Gray, a freelance sports reporter, was paid by an entity set up by James' marketing team, not by ESPN -- a fact not disclosed to the sports network's viewers during Thursday's softball interview, CNBC reported.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said James had the right to do what he did and Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert had the right to blast James over his decision to abandon Cleveland. "When you own a team, the whole community owns the team," Cuban said while watching the Mavericks play Denver. "Sometimes, you have to say what's on your mind, what's in your heart.

Veteran guard Gerald Green
knows James, and both players went straight to the NBA out of high school. He said he can understand why James went through the "recruitment" process.

Unfortunately, he was signed to an offer sheet by the Nets. So he will either play for the Nets or Golden State...he is no longer an option. unfortunately!

A radio guy in chicago, Dan Bernstein, hinted that Jordan said something to the effect of "this was a P_s_y move" to one of his friends (Jordans friends). Obviously that will not be Jordans public statement on it.

Surprisingly, not every single person in the state of Ohio hates LeBron James -- he still has a friend in ex-teammate Antawn Jamison. Jamison -- who joined the Cleveland Cavaliers during last season -- told our photog, "I'm happy for him, man. I hope he gets a championship." TMZ.com

There's not a lot to like about MJ's personality of late, or so it seems. I do respect, however, the he and all the other legends of the game who are not in the media kept their mouths shut. Barkley and Reggie Miller get paid to voice their opinions.

You didn't hear MJ, Magic, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Kareem, Dr. J, or any of them say a thing. But you know they had to all have an opinion. I bet most didn't like Lebron for it.
