Michael Jordan had nothing to do with this commercial. It was spliced by someone on youtube. It's from an old commercial my friend.

I heard this on the radio today and they talked about it like it was real. It must just have taken off if it isn't.

nah, wasn't Jordan but, how friggin cool would it have been if it had been.
the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Wow!!!!!

Great splice.

Media also depicts Lebron and shows him out in southbeach at 2am the night before a game.

JOrdan used to bold down to Atlantic City to gamble after game at the Garden in the playoffs.

Jordan pressed the limits also as long as he coud get away with it. These guys do work hard. Can't say Mike had a solid marriage mind you, and Lebron seemse to have his baby momma well taken care of but these are super athletes, young men who can have it all.

Lebron is a product of the hype and hero worship to which the public fuels money into. He is an ass, but we created these guys. Nobody admires him for his intellect.

The man plays basketball better than anyone on the planet. That is why he was so revered in Cleveland and around the world.

Im not saying he should be exempt from being judged. I thought the venom in Cleveland by 20,000 people was kind of pathetic in its own right.

That a basketball player can produce such high esteem and conversly low self esteem to enact such a negative response is sad. Sports heros here and all over the world create emotions both good and bad. Idol worship to this degree is sad at both ends of the emotional spectrum.

Sorry but Knicks fans still revile Riley, Boston, Pippen, etc, after all these years.

Sports is about heros and villians. When you have none the game is meaningless.

It's good to have someone or something to hate.

Lebron brought that on himself. There was a better way to handle all of that and at least try to lessen the pain. He destroyed that city and even on an economic level he hurt them. Those businesses downtown have been hurt. They say business is down 10% or more since he left.

I have to disagree with this from the standpoint of a sports fan and a moral standpoint. First off, you become what you hate. When I mean hate, I mean PURE hatred. It's an obsession and when you hate something you think about that crap all the time until it actually becomes a part of your own life.

Second, why on earth is an athlete worth that much obsession when there's so much other crap going on? I mean, I don't promote hating ANYONE! Let alone an athlete? People are obsessing over this man when there's basically a war going on in Korea, deforrestation, children being abused in all sorts of horrific way, ect... Yet we exert our energy over LeBron???

Yes, sports ARE important. I do admit that. They have been since the Ancient Greek times. Anyone who doesn't see that is naive. It's a game of basketball essentially. Boo him. Let him know how you feel. The problem is. People actually feel like the man betrayed him in a real war or something, or that's the vibe I certainly got from the Cleveland crowd last night. "Akron hates you?"

Please. Get over it. It's not that big of a deal. The Cavs will suck bad enough in no time to get a new #1 pick and maybe in the meantime, Dan Gilbert will realize how much money he is losing and hopefully he will sell the team, b/c God knows, he did NOTHING to keep LeBron. Maybe HE should be the enemy, when you really want to think of it.

the very act of being a fan is pretty sad (if you really think about it). Also, considering the things I've seen over the years, how rabid fans can be; the fact that wars have been sparked over Soccer, it take a bit more to surprise me.

I think you're taking this way too seriously. The hate is a game within the game. Something perhaps along the lines of trash talking.

I'm not a huge sports fan, and I agree many use pop culture like sports, TV, celebrity fascination, and even our current state of "food fight" news to anaestatize themselves against the world's brutal realities. But, if you're going to enjoy it, hate will only heighten your enjoyment.

It's also possible I'm just a really bad person.

sports at its best is an emotional roller coaster for fans, from love to hate, cant have one without the other.

I'm not taking it seriously. I think the fans of Cleveland were taking it seriously though. Trash talking is one thing. I think they were seriously damaged or something by this though.

Like I said, they should get over it. They'll get another star in no time if they are as bad as they displayed last night.

It's sports and business mixed into one. It can get ugly.

Was last nights reaction to Lebron any worse then your typical Duke basketball game?

I just hope that people will like me

I have never been to a Duke game and whenever I see a game on TV, I mainly hear the crowd go "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" while cheering relentlessly. If they are saying f'ed up things though, then maybe that's different.

My point in general: Pipe down. Either that, or perhaps I don't take sports seriously enough and do take the fans too seriously.

Is that LeBrons fault? I consider that CLEVELANDS fault.
