LeBron James Is A one who sucks the penis
LOL...gotta love deadspin.
http://deadspin.com/5581889/lebron-james-is-a Tomorrow is the day LeBron James becomes the most unlikable person in the NBA, and perhaps all of American sports. I used to think he was okay a year ago. No more. He's the villain now. It doesn't matter where he opts to go. If he goes to Chicago, he's a one who sucks the penis. If he goes to Miami, he's a one who sucks the penis. Even if he goes back to Cleveland, he's a goddamn one who sucks the penis. He's a self-aggrandizing sack of shit, and ESPN is a bunch of pussy-whipped enablers for giving him a free hour of airtime tomorrow night and inevitably using 55 minutes of it to let Stu Scott give him a rimjob. Look at what Kevin Durant did today. He signed an extension well before he could have filed for free agency, announced the signing, and then went back about his business. He didn't need all this dog-and-pony show bullshit. James does, and that means he's a dipshit. People have been kissing this man's ass SINCE ****ING MIDDLE SCHOOL, and he still needs this hourlong AFI tribute special? Bullshit. BULLSHIT. And I don't care that he asked ESPN to use the commercial airtime tomorrow night to go to charity. That's the most transparent use of charity for the sake of self-glorification I've seen since I saw some actor do it yesterday. "Hey ESPN, why don't you spend an hour kissing my ass? Oh, don't worry. We'll give the money to AIDS babies. That totally makes me selfless." No, it doesn't. And **** YOU to ESPN for going along with this "Bonds on Bonds" redux. If an ESPN reporter found concrete proof tomorrow morning that James was going to Cleveland or somewhere else, do you think ESPN would let him run with it? **** AND NO. They'd stick him in a ****ing Lucite box and throw him in the cellar until 10PM. They're the whoringest whores that have ever whored. I heard they offered LeBron's crew free blowjobs if he wins a title next year. Wilbon asked to blow him JUST A LITTLE BIT. Not much. Just a little bit. LeBron is now the guy you openly root against. If he leaves Cleveland tomorrow night, he'll have needlessly strung along an entire fanbase and given them the middle finger by making their breakup spectacularly public. If he stays, he'll have spent two years cockteasing the rest of the world about going somewhere else when he probably never wanted to leave Ohio to begin with. There's no end result tomorrow that makes LeBron a sympathetic figure. He's already gone past the point of no return. He's a one who sucks the penis. Fitting that his most memorable career moment will come when he doesn't even take a ****ing shot. He's a guy that cares more about the end result of playing basketball – massive, unending adulation – than he does actual basketball. I don't begrudge him that attitude. I'd be the same way if I were a basketball player. All I'd give a shit about would be what I make and where I'm drinking tonight. And I don't begrudge him the right to play somewhere other than Cleveland. It's Cleveland. It blows. There's nothing to do in that town except masturbate and cry. But there's a normal way of doing things, and there's the dick way of doing things, and making your own free agency a two-year drama capped off with an infomercial directed by Senor Spielbergo falls squarely in the purview of FLAMING ****ING DICK MOVES. James is trying to bullshit the world into believing this whole process is some great entertainment he's lavishing upon you. It's not. It's a con. Right now, a lot of people aren't buying the shit this man is selling. And really, that's all LeBron James is these days: a ****ing salesman. |
You gotta wonder who cleveland hates more right now, James or Art Modell.

Didn't see the other 1000 post thread dedicated to LeBron on the front page?

It's true.
And to think. This is all for someone who's NEVER WON A CHAMPIONSHIP and has a knack for choking in the playoffs. |

This article pretty much sums up my feelings. I would kill to see Cleveland win a title before Miami.

They liked him last year... sounds like they are jumping from one bandwagon to another.

I haven't felt this bad for a basketball city since I felt bad for my own.

But the way he left left a really bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. He used to be a national icon. I think the entire country outside of MIami hates him now. |

Christ!!!! The guy made a decision to go to Miami to win a championship with Wade that he likes and has some continuity with. It was business decision, and some are trying to make it as if he went on a killing spree, and cited that Cleveland had to to blow him first.
|
**** you, LeBron James. ****ing **** you. You can't win unless your on an allstar team and have Wade to pick up your slack when you joke in the playoffs.
|
Who the hell is Lebron?
|
Cowards way out.
The great ones stay the course and make where they are a winner. |
I honestly don't get this new line of thinking by fans and/or media when it comes to basketball players winning championships.
I stated to hear it with Kobe and now it's Lebron. So those guys get killed if they don't win championships. That's always been there. But now there's the addition that they can't do it with too many other good players. Kobe? "Well 3 of his were with Shaq" WTF??? Who cares? Winning is winning. Nobody complains that Magic had Worthy & Kareem. Nobody complains that Bird had Mchale. Now it's "the easy way out." That take is weak. I commend athletes for putting winning ahead of money. Is Lebron a glory hog and have his faults? Absolutely. But beyond that, some of these other arguments are weak. |
I kind of think it's funny when they talk about the shift of the balance of power in the NBA, and all that shit. Hasn't a team without James won the championship every year he has played? I also think they are far from a lock to just roll into a championship series and take the trophy. He got everything he wanted so far, now we will see about all this title talk. I don't really feel sorry for Cleveland, or anything like that, but James did come out looking dumb. The Heat hats and jerseys should sell well, and fans will forget it fast IF the Heat really do just manage to blow up the league.

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert went old fashioned, then he got medieval on LeBron James. Gilbert didn't need his own hour-long televised special to make his point. He sat down at the keyboard the way angry people did it back in the day, then did as much to set the tone of the 2010-11 season as any player move, including you-know-whose. On the night "The Decision" became as painful a part of Cleveland sports history as "The Drive," "The Shot" and "The Fumble," northeast Ohio sports fans finally got a two-word title they can associate with victory. The Letter. Gilbert unloaded on LeBron. Smacked him with every keystroke. He called the Cavaliers' "former hero" (Gilbert's words) "narcissistic" and "cowardly" and ripped his "shameful display of selfishness and betrayal" and labeled James' decision to flee the banks of Lake Erie for the suddenly star-filled shores of South Beach a "shocking act of disloyalty," a "heartless and callous" action. Oh, and in case Gilbert didn't make his feelings clear enough, he told an Associated Press reporter that James quit during the playoffs. Gilbert torched LeBron, like one of those James No. 23 jerseys burning in the streets of Cleveland. LeBron lost the night he tried to sculpt as his own with the unprecedented show he used as the vehicle to announce his long-awaited free-agency decision, the one that confirmed earlier reports he'd be joining the Miami Heat. Oh, he and Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and the Heat are the winners of the free-agency frenzy. They managed to assemble the three most desirable players on the market in one place. They've got a two-time MVP, a Finals MVP and an All-Star. That's just about all they've got right now, but it's the type of foundation you need to win multiple championships, something akin to the draft lotteries that brought Tim Duncan and David Robinson to San Antonio, or Jerry West's wizardry that brought Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to the Lakers. But LeBron lost something in the process. James had alienated so many fans with the way he had representatives of six teams trek to Cleveland to play out the entire process, even though, as one of the general managers said, "We knew only two or three teams had a chance to get these guys." He lost even more people by choosing to announce his decision on ESPN in an elaborate show. How could any non-Heat fan watch this thing play out and think, "I wanna root for this guy?" Sports like to see talent flow strictly to leagues' glamour cities. Most fans didn't even see Bosh play that much while he was in Toronto, but they won't like him, either. Just because he's part of this. Everyone's going to want to beat "that team down there" as Chicago Bulls big man and LeBron antagonist Joakim Noah called the Heat, unwilling to even say the name. "It's gonna be real Hollywood down there." Could it be possible that Cavs fans are actually sharing the same sentiments as Noah, who trashed the city of Cleveland repeatedly during the teams' first-round playoff series? That has to be the way they're feeling now. LeBron's gone Hollywood (even if he's physically closer to Hollywood, Fla.). The funny thing is how Cleveland people still claim Drew Carey and Halle Berry as their own, even though they left for Hollywood. But LeBron? Done. It speaks to the unnatural, proprietary feelings fans have about their players, that just because they wear their town's jersey they forfeit all of their rights. LeBron is free to go wherever he wants, whatever suits him best. Just because he's always lived in Akron and Cleveland doesn't mean he should always stay there. Everyone leaves home sometime, even if it's only for college. Athletes have an even smaller window than the rest of us. He has perhaps 10 more years to be one of the elite basketball players in the world, and he has a mandate to win championships if he wants to be included in the discussion of the game's all-time greats. It was apparent that wasn't going to happen in Cleveland. People want loyalty, as if that's going to cover things. Just imagine if LeBron spent an entire, title-free career in Cleveland. In 25 years, when the greats are gathered for a tribute to the all-time legends, the chatter could go like this: "Hey, it's Tim Duncan, four-time champion." "Look, it's Kobe, wearing all five of his rings." "There's LeBron ... he was ... loyal." Awkward silence. "Have you seen KG?" Don't ask James to be loyal if you won't grant him an exception to the ring rule. (As in Jordan, Magic and Bird on one side of the tee at the charity golf tournament, Ewing, Barkley and Malone on the other). But it's not too much to ask him to be respectful on the way out. In this case promotion took precedence over protocol. He strung everyone along, tried to build the drama at the expense of the common courtesy of notifying teams of his plans so they could get about constructing their teams. Everyone associated with this looks bad. We in the media looked bad because sources we trusted kept changing their opinion, and none of those sources was James himself. Even he probably changed his opinion. The public -- not just sports fans -- that got drawn into it were suckers, too. I've had so many "where's LeBron going?" texts from people who haven't bothered to ask me a single other question in months that I just stopped answering. I also stopped because I didn't have a firm answer. No one did. We got sent on a wild ride with a constantly shifting destination. We got played, but in reality the people in James' camp played themselves. They came off as disrespectful not just to Cleveland, but to New York, Chicago, New Jersey and especially the Los Angeles Clippers (who had nothing more than frequent flier miles to show for their trip to Cleveland). They were brought in, then shut out as the process entered its final hours. And the boss who had tailored his franchise to LeBron's every whim, whether it be granting his wishes to let members of his circle fly on the team charter or sit behind the bench, or whatever suited the star player, wasn't repaid with a little courtesy on the way out. Of course, James had already given Gilbert plenty. Gilbert was repaid nightly in the form of fans occupying every seat in Quicken Loans Arena. According to Forbes, the franchise's value increased by $100 million during Gilbert's ownership -- and you know that wasn't because of Boobie Gibson. So yes, Gilbert was being petulant when he posted that letter on the Cavaliers' website in cartoonish script. But he was expressing the feeling of all the Cleveland fans -- and a number of non-invested observers who were put off by James' whole display. And he was firing the first shot of next season and beyond. He guaranteed the Cavaliers would win a championship before LeBron does. LeBron's just ramped up. Now it's not just a quest for a championship, it's a race. He got called out by the man who used to sign his checks. Gilbert is leading the anti-LeBron brigade, which after Thursday night is the largest sub-group of the National Basketball Association. |
Cleveland will survive. It's still got payphones.

Ring chasing has always been frowned upon. Sure, Magic had help, but the Lakers were always his squad. Bird, Thomas, Jordan, Duncan...all had help but none of them bailed on their squad to go ride shotgun with some buddies elsewhere. They knew they were good enough to get to the top of the mountain where ever they were. James took the chickenshit way out. And make no mistake, this wasn't James being concerned with winning, this was James being concerned with being branded a loser. The difference is pretty stark. He cares less about being a winner than he does about people questioning him when he doesn't win. If he cared about being a winner, he'd have a turnaround jumper right now. He'd have a post game. He'd have spent the last 7 years developing his game. But he hasn't done that, he's spent the last 7 years developing 'his brand...' He's hiding behind the winning tag, but this was all about deflecting pressure so he can focus on being 'The Global Icon'. |
This is the best article on last night's debacle. This is great stuff:

Bosh really isn't that great, fellas. He's good at accumulating stats on a losing team, but look at how this guy plays in big games. He's a follower, a Lamar Odom with bigger biceps. And yes, LeBron was a huge get for them because they have Wade to mask LeBron's yellow streak. So I'll concede that point - Yeah, it's a big deal. At the same time, the Lakers with a healthy Bynum are still a better squad. Kobe > LeBron Gasol < Wade Bynum > Bosh Odom > Miller (though I still don't see him signing, we'll see) Blake > Chalmers Obviously it's not a perfect comparison, but the Lakers are also built a little better, IMO. Look at all the length inside for LA that the Heat still won't be able to deal with very well. Hell, play a matchup zone against the Heat and I wonder if they have the perimeter game to beat you. Bynum is a very physical defender and excellent rebounder. Gasol is a great help defender (not a good man defender) and another very good rebounder. The Lakers actually have a bunch of parts that complement each other very well. The Heat have 3 All-Stars that all require the ball in their hands to be effective. Balances of power don't just 'shift', they have to be taken away. The 2-time defending champions (and 3 time defending Western Conference Champions) still hold the power in the NBA. |
The Miami Heat will be fine. And just saying Kobe is better than LeBron does no good. It's a huge argument, but that is a push IMO.
|
Besides the fact that Kobe isn't better than LeBron anymore, I think people are still forgetting LeBron and Wade aren't on their own anymore. Who cares if they couldn't do it alone, they aren't alone anymore. When Wade had another top player, he won a Championship.

You can't look sideways at Wade without a foul being called. James gets similar treatment. Then with this "Miami Thrice" thing hanging around, you know Bosh is going to get calls by association. Gonna be a lot of whistles blowing in Heat games. |
Yeah, someone whos only 25 and is already a two time MVP sucks. Your an idiot. And your still forgetting that hes not the only guy on the team. They have two other starters from our Olympic gold medal team. These three guys aren't the same exact type of player playing the same position... they all bring something to the table. They will open it up for the other two guys on the court to really step up to. James and Wade both need double to triple teamed almost anytime they touch the ball.

lol, everybody on espn now saying kobe is more popular than leFraud and now leFraud is the villian.
even skip of all people! |

Actually Wade and Lebron are the exact same type of player that do the exact same thing on the court. |

Quote:
At no point did I say he sucked. In fact, I've said the opposite on numerous occasions. However, you're dead ass wrong about the game they play. Wade and LeBron play exactly the same game. LeBron plays it with power where Wade plays it with finesse, but they both need the ball in their hands to do it and they will both tend to occupy the same places on the court. That team is going to have a very difficult time maintaining proper spacing to run an effective offense. I'm absolutely certain you don't understand enough about the nuance of the game (you probably just watch Sportscenter for the super awesome dunk highlights), so this concept has just gone screaming right over your head. However, take it from a grown up, it's absolutely true. |
Caveat: I have no idea whether this is true. I'm unfamiliar with the website and there is a pretty glaring typo, so for all I know it's as much of an amateur operation as WPI.
LeBron James Fat Head - Drastically Reduced Have you been waiting to get your very own LeBron James Fat Head? Now's the time, especially if you want him in a Cavaliers uniform. Fat Head is offering a drastic discount on the removable wall graphics featuring James about to deliver a slam dunk. The price? $17.41. The reason? That's the year Benedict Arnold was born. Oh yea, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert owns Fat Head. http://www.fearthesword.com/2010/7/9...ally?ref=yahoo |

This was Tiger Woods II, a wounded child star revealing the toll of celebrity and brand-building on his character, decision-making and self-awareness. As of right now, we have no clue if we’ll ever again see the old Tiger Woods, the ruthless, lethal golfer eclipsing Jack Nicklaus. Thanksgiving ’09 damaged that Tiger. <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www4.tinker.com/standard/wrapper/fox/standard24680.js"></script> 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. Will he recover? For seven years, James seemed to delight in, court and fuel himself with universal adoration and respect. It’s gone now, and it’s not coming back. He’s a hero in Miami, a coward in New York, a spoiled, narcissistic punk most everywhere else and Black Modell in Ohio. Cavs fans burned his jersey in the streets. Police protected his house in Akron and a giant “Witness” banner in downtown Cleveland. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert eviscerated LeBron’s reputation, telling the Associated Press that James quit in the playoffs, wouldn’t return phone calls or text messages for more than a month and described James’ televised reality-show exit self-promotional and cowardly. Maybe LeBron wants to be the NBA’s Bad Boy, a mix of Allen Iverson, Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer. Maybe the venom directed LeBron’s way will motivate him, mature his competitive focus. Or maybe he’ll melt. Tiger looks guilt-ridden and less confident since his flaws were exposed, since his initial prisoner-of-war press conference turned him into Jay Leno and David Letterman fodder. http://static.foxsports.com/content/...220_202_97.JPG The Summer of LeBron will continue on South Beach. He picks Miami. “The Decision,” LeBron’s emotion-free, lovemaking session with Jim Gray, Stu Scott, Mike Wilbon, Jon Barry and Chris Broussard, is something sports fans will never forget. It was America’s first all-male, PG-13 celebrity sex tape. The problem is, LeBron’s handlers failed to warn him that sex tapes enhance the careers of female celebrities. The men, unless strapped like Tommy Lee and performing opposite Pamela Anderson, don’t get much bounce or they’re ridiculed. “I wanted to do what was best for LeBron James,” King James told Wilbon. “What LeBron James was going to do to make him happy.” 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. LeBron and Maverick Carter, the King’s right-hand man, actually thought a $2.5 million check to the Boys and Girls Club and online scholarships to the University of Phoenix would clean up this mess, would ease the pain in his hometown. Can LeBron handle the mental abuse he’s about to endure? Will being reviled energize him the way being revered did? You can’t effectively fly insulting banners over NBA arenas, but you sure as hell can heckle and taunt with signs. The abuse some would like to heap on Tiger Woods on the golf course, they’ll be free to unload on the new, tattooed poster child for athletic self-indulgence and narcissism. Tiger operates in a PGA-fortified cocoon. LeBron works in the NBA’s boiling pot, ground zero for the culture war between hip-hop values and corporate sponsorship. He’s a target now. The preening and dancing and powder-throwing have a stench, a B.O., as in Bron Owens, the NBA’s Terrell Owens. <object data="/fe/flash/sIFR/fs-sifr-unitedsans.swf" name="sIFR_replacement_0" id="sIFR_replacement_0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" class="sIFR-flash" width="211" height="24"> </object> Where was Nike? Why didn’t Phil Knight put a stop to this, get James to comprehend the risks? No one cares about LeBron giving the advertising dollars from “The Decision” to the Boys and Girls Club. James would’ve been better served cutting a personal check to a Cleveland/Akron charity and informing the Cavs he was leaving immediately after the playoffs. It appears Dan Gilbert is irate because he realizes LeBron made LeDecision long ago. This whole spectacle was a gigantic tease, a charade. The Cavs‘ offseason approach (draft, free agency, Mike Brown, Danny Ferry) might have been dramatically different had the organization known from the get-go James was leaving. LeBron owed Gilbert and Cavs fans a heads-up. “I wanted to do what was best for LeBron James,” he said. “What LeBron James was going to do to make him happy.” 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. E-mail Jason or follow him on Twitter. Media requests for Mr. Whitlock should be directed to Fox Sports PR. |
LeBron had to quit because of his French name.
