None of this shit is deserved.

Heck, this guy does charity work to sent hundreds of at risk kids to school & college. Is he perfect? no. Has he made mistakes? yes. But he has done a lot of good things as well. Just like the majority of us. I don't understand people taking personal offense about it.

It's full on disgusting shit by now.

The worst part is he is the least scummiest top player outside of guys like Duncan

He literally hasn't done anything horrible like shitting on player and fucking people's wives (Jordan), rape accusations, violence charges, gun charges, anything.

Dude is literally hated on because of who he is???????

The dude got TDE to release UU by K. Dot, seriously if anything we are in debt to Bron lmao

It'd make a great story if he came back, came close last year with all the injuries, but with hard work, and peaking at the right time pulling one out for Cleveland's first title in forever.

We're not greedy, we just want one. I've said countless times. Golden State, OKC, everyone else can take turns winning after us. It's fucked up that my parents have never even witnessed a Cleveland title in their life...

I could realistically see the cavs, thunder, and warriors all winning. The cavs are healthy and can win in a lot of different ways, the thunder can get really hot with Durant and Westbrook. When those two are right and consistent they can beat anyone. And then you have the Warriors with steph who I can only assume has made some kind of deal with the devil to be playing like he is. he's as good right now as Jordan was.

Pushing out Blatt to get Lue in left a bad taste in my mouth. Not saying Blatt was the perfect coach for that team but how that went down was fairly shitty.

It wasn't the friendliest thing ever but it's not like it hasn't happened before. Head coaches are always pushed out by stars. Jordan, Magic, Kobe... Hell, even Dwight Howard. They all pushed out coaches to get who they wanted. This is the opposite of college basketball. It's a player's league, not a coach's league. If someone like Lebron or Kobe or Jordan want a new coach and their management is even remotely competent, they'll get a new coach.

It wouldn't make sense to leave, just retire there in Cleveland.

Winning one for New York or LA would do a huge boost to his brand. That plus his Nike deal and LeBron's net worth goes way way up.

Besides after he wins it all he has no obligation to Cleveland. The fans would be grateful that he got them a title and no one would be pissed if he went to play with his friends.

Uh huh. But that situation will not occur. It's really not even worth entertaining.

It's crazy how the Internet pretends as if Bron didn't go to 4 straight chips and win 2 in Miami.

Even Skip Bayless has tried to turn it off. But it's his job to find fault.

Bron really gotta go back to his life, while we go back to ours, lol.

I becleve in you LeBron. Golden state is great but they are battling. Cleveland is just coasting through easier competition. Conditioning will be the biggest factor I think.

Blatt fired himself after given a season plus to win the locker room and get the players to buy in. The cute thing is to blame LeBron as if he forced Blatt to be incompetent.

Coasting isn't always the best thing just before you face your biggest challenge.

it's kinda like Westhead --> Riley tbh

Westhead couldn't win over Magic, got fired, Pat leads them to a 57-25 finish and a 9-0 playoff start on the way to a 4-2 Finals win

all this parallel is missing is the #3 team in the other conference getting to the Finals after a 4-3 win against #1

Looking forward to seeing Cavs and warriors in the finals. I'd be fine with Cavs and thunder as well. All three teams are entertaining as hell to watch play. We are lucky to have so much amazing talent in the league right now.

Between the decision and the 97 World Series Miami has done enough damage. I hope Cleveland wins it, I will never understand the pain and suffering. There hasn't been a 6 year stretch in my life without one of my teams winning the championship.

I used to be a lebron hater but 5 now almost 6 straight trips to the finals is no joke. I have conceded he is a way better player than kobe and honestly, curry isn't even close to his level when it comes to a whole package deal.

I have no problem with Cleveland. As soon as Lebron retires without winning another ring ya'll can win 5 straight Finals. The chances of it happening? Slim but I won't hate on it.

Why so mad with LeBron though? The Heat aren't those back to back titles without LeBron. So what if he chose to leave he still helped Miami get two rings they would not have had without him.

I disagree with this statement. All the talent in the league is front loaded on a handful of teams while most of the league is horrible. Other than Cleveland name one team from the east that is worth talking about?

Weren't the Cavs supposed to sweep their way to the finals? I mean, ESPN has been talking about the Raps like they were a jv high school team.

I loved seeing Biyombo telling Bron to bring it.

And Kyrie needing help to get to the locker room pointing at his chest.

LeCramps will make it to the finals because the East is so easy compared to the West, but he'll lose to the Warriors again.

Btw, that dude who hit Biyombo in the nuts at the end of the game should be fined.
