In case you're too busy trying to come up with clever little quips (and really, they're not that good.  In any of the threads in which you post), he was quoted as saying "I don't want to go ring-chasing.  I want to stay with the Cavs and build a champion".  Yeah, how'd that work out?

i don't come up with clever quips, i really just point out every instance you completely make things up to support your complaints.

exhibit a)

"(1) He is, without a doubt, the most egotistical person that I have ever seen"

and

"The GOAT simply wouldn't accept riding someone else's coattails to a title.  Lebron made that decision."

these are directly contradictory of eachother. i personally agree with the former, dude has a huuuuge ego, and he's gonna step all over dwades feet....not get carried by him.

Whatever happened to, "there's no 'i' in 'team'?"

The argument that LeBron is a cowardly ***** for wanting to play with quality teammates that management in Cleveland never provided him with, because a real man would want to win a title on his own (you know, the way no other player in NBA history has done), is the biggest steaming pile of internet tough guy bullshit I've seen in years.

Lebron called $haq Diesel on the phone getting him to sign with Cleveland. Delonte West was part of the Seattle deal a few season back before seattle went to okc.

I love the thought of a powerhouse team, I just wish there wasn't a salary cap so they could have the NBA all-star team.

People who are die hard NBA fans might not like it but there is going to be a lot more people watching and paying attention because of this. Lebron is like Tiger for golf. Only thing I wish is that every nba official would get fired and they would bring up some real officials from the NCAA. One further note is I don't see how with 3 superstars you won't win even if labron doesn't show up in the playoffs really.

LeBron is actually kind of like the anti-Tiger.

Tiger wins a record # of titles and is legendarily great under pressure.
LeBron has never won anything and played like a 5th grade girl in the Boston series.

Tiger sticks it to your mom.
One of LeBron's boys sticks it to LeBron's mom.

...wouldn't recognize an original thought if one bit them in the ***. The flock has turned against LeBron for most of the same jealousy-based reasons that lead people to think professional athletes are overpaid, and they aren't about to rock the boat by writing something different.

Here, let's try a little thought experiment. Which of the following would have been written by your ESPN/Yahoo/CNN writers if circumstances were different?

- LeBron is a coward who took the easy way out when he signed with Miami and joined an already talented roster, so he doesn't have to carry the load by himself and can merely ride Dwayne's coat tails
- LeBron is a coward who took the easy way out when he signed with Chicago and joined an already talented roster, so he doesn't have to carry the load himself and can live in MJ's shadow rather than forging his own legacy
- LeBron is a coward who took the easy way out when he re-signed with Cleveland, choosing to stay where he is comfortable and treated like a god regardless of whether he wins or not, rather than go to a team where there will actually be pressure on him to win a title
- LeBron is a coward who took the easy way out when he signed with New York/New Jersey, choosing money and fame/money and palling around with Jay-Z over a team that actually has a chance to dominate and thus puts pressure on him to win a title

The answer, of course, is 'all of the above.' The "LeBron is a coward who took the easy way" storyline was going to get trotted out no matter where he went. And like a brainless sheep, you followed along baaing.
