Lebron James

[sickofpc]

Dave, just wondered... how did you like Lebron's shoes he wore the other night?

[CenTexDave]

Didn't see them. Don't watch basketball much until the finals. He's starting to mouth off about politics. He needs to STFU and do what he's hired to do - play basketball.

[sickofpc]

I agree with that....He had EQUALITY printed on the back of both of his shoes....I don't watch the NBA, either...and very, very little of NFL, with all of their crap.

[fchafey]

Black Shoes with Yellow writing. He wants Equality between Blacks and Asians?.......

[ithoughtso]

Another rich black that can't articulate what he wants. If he wants respect then he needs to behave in a manor that will give him respect.

There was a story in Sports Illustrated recently, in which someone stated that athletes SHOULD be able to speak their minds on today's social and political issues, because those issues involve ALL of us, and expecting them to sit quietly and "play ball" is disingenous to the athlete.

Don't like it? Don't watch it. Period.

Let's look at the history.
He's drafted by Cleveland and is the first coming.
Then he jumps ship and goes to Flordia and is seen as evil and a money grabber.
Then he returns to Cleveland and all is forgiven.
Now he jumps ship again and goes to the Lakers. I guess he wasn't getting enough money and wanted to surround himself with better players to win another championship. I guess his loyalty is not with Cleveland or his fans but with his so called legacy.
Too dang funny.

Owl the nba has a salary cap and is extremely static regarding stars and superstars. Star players actually lose money when they leave their team (bird rights). Lebron took a significant pay cut to play for heat. He’s taking a pay cut again to go to LA, because he can’t sign a max 5 year deal in LA, I believe that last year is 30-35 million. If you’ve ever been to LA and Ohio it’s not hard to see where’d you’d like to begin transitioning to the last phase of your career into your next career. Not to mention in the 10 years he was in Cleveland he couldn’t get one elite player in his prime to come there, this is typical with smal market teams. I’m sure he’s assuming he can get more top level talent to come to LA. we shall see.

Sure you believe what you posted, I don't. But I also could care less what any basketball player does since it really isn't basketball they claim to play. Paying anyone over a million a year to play a game is stupid and it doesn't matter the game.
