Guest ms-dos Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 lebron is saving over $12 million in property taxes by signing with the heat. the rest of the difference will be covered with an increase in endorsements and international branding. he's not taking less money.

Guest maoam Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 This could be a massive moneyspinner if they click and start dominating. Worldwide audiences like in Jordan's time. Looking forward to watching them (lose to the celtics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdamAnchorman Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 It doesn't even matter now. Comparisons of LeBron to ANY of the pantheon of superstars he loves so much are now completely useless to draw. MJ, Larry, Magic, Isaiah...not one of them ever had a game like LeBron did in Game 5 against the Celtics. Even if LeBron wins one now, it will be remembered that he had to become Wade's bitch first. I find it all a bit funny in the end...The King surrounded himself with really stupid people; nothing else explains why he'd do something like this ESPN show. Leaving Cleveland, in light of how he went out in that final game against Boston...like a fucking BITCH....was already going to be debated for years to come. Going out while on national TV in front of Boys-n-Girls Club wallpaper of little kids, without even the slightest indication that he gave a fat rat's ass about Ohio, after Jim Gray basically licked his dick for 10 minutes....just.... . all true. you know why jim gray licked his dick for 10 minutes? because he was hand-picked by lebron to do the interview. everyone in that room was hand-picked by lebron. i love how the cavs management found out, by cell phone call given by one of lebron's "associates" 2 mintues before the announcement. now cavs management is saying lebron shut down all communication with them after the playoffs, all through the free agent and new coach recruitment process. dunno if thats true or just sour grapes, but if its true, sure makes lebron look even worse.

azatoth Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 i can understand the outrage from the cavs and their fans. they did everything to accommodate the self-proclaimed "king james" and he just shuts them out and jumps on a team that has two other superstars in chase of a ring, something he said he would never do. even if he manages to win a couple of rings, it will be said he did it on the coattails of two other great players. still a douche, always a douche. and the NBA lost any credibility it might have had left with the gong show that preceded this.

jules Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 it might not work. back in the day, if dominique wilkins and david robinson went to play with jordan, it would have been a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ms-dos Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 i think the whole espn analysis of the pre-analysis, post-analysis, and post-analysis analysis special was just to prepare cleveland for the heartbreak I think most people in Cleveland, sadly and naively, believed there was no way their favorite son would get on national TV in front of a bunch of kids, for an entire fucking hour, just to break their hearts. He did exactly that in the end, like a spoiled punk heartless bitch. this is a fantastic picture e:drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I will definitely be watching Houston take on Miami next year here. Already saving for tickets, should be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex C Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 In addition, Fathead.com, an online retailer owned by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert dropped the price of its LeBron Fathead wall decals from $99.99 to $17.41, which happens to be the same year Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold was born. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdamAnchorman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 good little article on how "the decision" came together: http://adage.com/article?article_id=144882 "It's an hour-long mental masturbation about the wonder of LeBron."--Gregg Doyel, CBSsports.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Not one mention of Jesse Jackson's brilliant remarks about how Gilbert has that "slave-owner mentality"? The first time the Heat visit cleveland, Lebron best be wearing some body armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
