I am included in those CAV fans who for too long over looked Lebrons spoiled self-indulgent ego manic presentations. Prince Lebron has finally been exposed.

LeBron's chasing celebrity, not titles

The Summer of ’10 may have done irreparable damage to LeBron James.

Thursday night, his LeBrontourage and ESPN enablers dressed him in a clown suit, topped it with a black hat and turned him into a buffoonish laughingstock and villain.

Yep, his most memorable speaking line from LeDecision was delivered in third person. He’s a joke, and only the insanely dishonest will defend his performance and the decision to host LeBron-apalooza.

When James announced his decision, he didn’t say he was joining Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat. LeBron said he was going to South Beach.

He’s Tiger Woods, chasing a childhood celebrity stole. LeBrand, Maverick, Drama and Turtle are headed to South Beach to party with D.Wade and CB4.

There’ll be more new baby-mamas than championships.

The plain reality is every dynasty that has ever existed in the NBA (i.e., 3 titles within 10 years) has had more than one HOF player on the team. The Cavs couldn't even get other all stars around Lebron. Lebron realized he would not get any other HOF caliber players to join him in Cleveland and so he made the choice any student of the game would make.

They got on the television and made an ass out of the fans that supported them? Oh okay, thank Mezotarkus for the history lesson.

This is very true and it's hard to fault the choice.

But never has a player been so distasteful in the way he went about choosing. It was repellent enough that, even with a title, this whole process will play into his legacy in a negative way.

Not to mention, he has finally, and clearly, revealed his egomania and turned off millions of fans.
Stop killing children in Gaza.

Its alot worse than I thought in terms of how much this thing might have been hard wired from the start but worth the read.

Is grave digging really necessary?
