seems to me like Lebron likes to play the role of villain... it's like he's rubbing NY fans' noses in the fact that he snubbed us to go to South Beach... if that's how he wishes to make his legacy, that's his choice... i don't think the ire directed at him is unjustified... he's been acting like a real douchebag with zero remorse for how he played his hometown fans in Cleveland & in all the other cities that were courting him this summer... he can tweet all he wants about how he's taking mental notes of everyone who's had something bad to say, but he needs to take a serious look in the mirror if he thinks he doesn't deserve what he's been getting.

Absolutely- I understand people being ticked off with his teasing of teams (Bosh even said in a recent interview that he (Bosh)"played with peoples emotions" deliberately because it was fun and he was bored (a**h***!). I get that people are disappointed he took the easy way out, much like if a child prodigy at school announced he was becoming a truck driver because he felt he'd be happier doing that. But the c**p that a grown man shouldn't make his own decision and do what makes him happy, otherwise he's evil, is ridiculous- what kind of idiot only does what other people want them to do instead of what they want to do? He's not Cleveland's servant.

And the ridiculous notion that you have to stay with the team you were born near, and never leave home otherwise you're a traitor and a low life, is beyond a joke. I can't believe some people seem to think that a player should never change teams from the one that drafted them- if all players did that then it would be a disaster because it would mean the ONLY way to get an all star would be to be so bad as to land the top pick, otherwise your team would have no shot of getting a top player.

I still want the Knicks to beat the heat badly, but some of the hate he's getting has been pathetic, unless you're the sort of person who only does what other people want you to do instead of what you want to do to make you happy.

His posse is a joke- and just because you know some rich guy that gives you lots of money/power, doesn't make you smart.

and his behavior the last two years when he's gotten knocked out - first unsportsman like and walking off without a handshake & this year quitting such as he did.

He clearly had south beach on his mind for a long while, and there was no chance he'd play anywhere else.

if he'd been a man, he would have just stated that from minute one of his free agency instead of playing his charade. He never once considered staying, and never once considered joining any of the teams that made a pitch to him. That's dishonest and was a waste of their time - and time is a precious thing that no one should take from another person.
