Cavs just said they spent 0% of their time game planning for James leaving. 100% was devoted to keeping James. Translation: "We have no backup plan"

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) Wow. Jim Gray = Whore has been for a long time

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) I am just wondering if Leporn and his "team" expected this much backlash and negative press? Everyone expected some if he left Cleveland, but just the way it played out, and his borderline illiterate comments have made this into a complete debacle. It has to be one of the worst PR decisions ever. He KILLED his brand. Really. How many NON-Miami fans are going to want to wear the jersey of a King turned Coward?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) CNBC is reporting that LeBron's camp paid Jim Gray to do the interview, not ESPN. Maverick Carter = best business manager EVER. Reporter Jim Gray Paid By LeBron Entity, Not ESPN My understanding is that it was a LeBron event being broadcast by ESPN

I also want to make a difference between a team surrounding a star with great players (Bulls) and a player actively leaving to surround himself with great players.

So, Michael and Kobe THRIVE under pressure, and James doesnt want any pressure.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) Here is a SI columnist's take: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writ....html?eref=sihp Most of these sentiments mirror what I was saying last night. Its just hard to accept that a player of Lebron's ability taking the easy way out. Ah well, it kind of sucks just because I would have liked Lebron on any other team. Michael Jordan announced on national television he's leaving Chicago to join the Detroit Pistons. Jordan said it was tough to bolt Chicago, where he was the most popular athlete in many years, because he thinks he has a better chance to win a championship if he plays with Pistons star Isiah Thomas. Jordan said by playing together, he and Thomas "won't have the pressure of going out and scoring 30 every night." That's a really good comparison. Michael not only wanted to go out and score 30 every night, he wanted to dump 50 on your face.

Can I still be a Marlins fan, or do I have to hate the entire city of Miami?

This is kind of cool... Confusion over 'secret code' in US military Cyberforce crest

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) Lebron is a Yankees, Cowboys and was a huge Bulls fan in '91, '92,'93, '96, '97 and '98 despite being born and raised in Cleveland. He's the definition of a front-runner. He's got his rings. But they in the grand scheme of things they won't s***. Great point

I'm out. Have a good night all. My condolences Steve... my partner in Miami denial

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I just want to apologize to Kobe Bean Bryant for all the hatred I've spewed your way for years. You're not Jordan. But you're so close. Please, deny this motherf***er a ring. You're my only hope. +1000

Go lakers!!!

And NBA fans have no reason to root for their team now.

Miami??? I was completely wrong. I admit it.

He confirmed what I thought. Less than 5 knew.

No twitter noise
