The LeBron Thread

[Bulls69]

Wrong Bron is planning kiss my a** tour his game is getting old Bron could aleast wait until the finals is over. Bron, is going to the NYC first having it base kiss his a** then on to Chicago having it base kiss his a** then a week later he is going resign with the Cavs.

[St Knick]

does anyone else find it VERY encouraging that he plans on visiting NEW YORK first?!?!
to me, thats the clearest tipping point as to his preference, with exception to the Cavs, who would obviously be last on his stops since he already plays there

Not really.

Bron's per wiretap is going on a tour visting NYC,Chicago, and Miami then Bron is going to have all these fans kiss his a** then he is going to resign with the Cav's. I smell this a mile away with his game is Bron love playing these head games I'm not buying his crap.

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

Could be true. But I look at them as 2 separate things. He wants publicity this summer but he also wants to win. I don't think he is going to realistically think the Cavs are good enough to get him a championship. They've got work to do.

So I am ignoring the fact that he'll use this for hype and looking toward the moment he has to actually decide who to play with and whether he really wants to turn down playing with Bosh in NYC with a better core for the future.

Or maybe we are just being played.

But I don't think so.

IF ... if ... the Bulls stuff has been leaked by LeBron or his people, which I am still not convinced of, this free-agent tour would explain it. Walking in MJ's footsteps ... FOR ONE DAY ... sounds about right. If he does it for a day, it's fun excitement for all involved. He won't do it for his career though.

lebron's using free agency to sell sneakers.

this guy is such a whore its pretty sad.

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

Jay10, LeBron is loving the attention plus he don't have the balls to leave the Cav/s.

[BklyntoTNeck]

LeBron flat out quit on the Cavs in the Boston series. He's bolting. If he had every intention of staying in Cleveland, why waste another year and purposely quit a playoff series. If he is all about winning like he claims, he would have taken that team on his back and showed some effort or heart. Makes no sense for all of that to go down so he can sell a few sneakers.

[Bulls69]

Trust me alot of your posters, are going to hate Bron at the end of the F/A because come July 1 he is going to waste the Knicks and Bulls time.

Agreed.

I understand why Jay10 and others would see this as all hype.

But remember that it's two entirely separate things going on:

The fun and hype of FA ... and the rest of LeBron's career.

Two very different things.

I think he may have given up on the Cavs as you say, and yeah, I kind of like the fact that NYK will be his first stop.

Think about that for a second: If LeBron was going to do a free-agent tour, he'd make sure to handle the real business of that tour first. He's a business first kind of guy. So I like the fact that we're first. I'm not going to do an end-zone dance just yet, but it's a good sign.

The first place usually has the 'Yours to lose' wind at your back.

[Jay10]

he can only be on one team's roster. why make sneakers for different cities if it wasn't about money?

I agree, but then the tour is mostly about money. Doesn't mean his whole free-agency is about this tour. There's a real decision to be made.

It's honestly hard to see him going back to C Land.

[St Knick]

If he comes to Knicks I will continue to be a big fan of his game and have a new level of "love*" for him.
If he stays with Cleveland, I will be somewhat indifferent
If he goes to any other team, I will hate his guts

Thank You I guess I'm not the only one who sees right through Bron's game the sad thing about fans from NYC and Chicago are going to going out to buy his sneakers.

I'm already planning on booing the hell out of him whenever I see him (unless he signs with the Knicks of course )

he's tryin to get as much out of this free agency hype, because he knows once he signs that extension he will be an afterthought.

You definitely could be right. But to me, he seems done with the Cavs. Just my view of it though.

Yes. He's a business first kind of guy.

I do find it extremely encouraging.

[knicks742]

This is disgusting. Honestly, the more I see of this, the more I am going to be perfectly ok if he doesn't come here. This guy seems less and less equipped to handle the pressures of playing in New York.

[King of Canada]

I've said it all along. I don't want this punk on the Knicks. I'd be perfectly happy to continue hating him for the rest of his career. What a douchebag.
