He really wants them to stop booing him. They won't, he's just going to have to grow a thicker skin. The true flaw in LeBron James isn't three-point shooting, post game or go-to move. It's his inability to deal with hate. The most emotionally fragile superstar of all time. If he's happy in June nothing will stop Miami. But you never know if some jerk will say something nasty about West and his mom and just throw him off for the whole series.

Irving and James would be a sick tandem. Would be one of hell of an efficient scoring duo.
Why not... at the end of the day its just basketball and all the drama happened just because of a basketball decision aswell... he holds no grudge against Cavs fans, he admit his exit wasnt the most beautiful either so he understands and said he would have changed it.... even tho i think it wouldnt make a difference, they are mad because he left, i dont think it would matter how beautifully he would have left, he left..... the fans wanted him to be there his entire life, control him like a slave...
this is just basketball and it is bussiness, its nothing personal... but Cleveland took it extremly personal... if you want "loyalty" in the NBA then go follow your local high school team instead...

Three seconds before he said the part about coming back to Cle he said he was very happy in Miami and didn't have any regrets. This is some terrible journalist trying to create a story where there isn't one. He just wants to be able to go a week without cleaning egg off his car and TP off his trees when he goes home for the offseason.

Maybe James needs to get over Cleveland? You made your decision, now stick to it and STFU. Only those with absolutely no pride would accept you back and that encompasses a very, very small minority of this city. You are never coming back and you know it.
He could easily not continually talk about Cleveland, but he is such an embarrassing attention wh0re that he will never stop. I don't think that he likes the idea of Kyrie Irving performing so well and the fact that Cavs' fans attention has shifted from him to Kyrie. He wants that spotlight back. He needs people talking about him... He loves it. He lives for it.
You are in Miami now. You play for the Heat. Just do that and don't worry about what is going on in Cleveland. Win a title with your glorified professional AAU team... I honestly don't give a flying f#ck.

He needs to win 2 Finals MVP with the heat. 2012 is the best year to win an NBA title. I don't have any problem if LeBron re-sign with the Cavaliers. If he just wins 1 Finals MVP with the Cavs. I put him as a top 3 player of all time. Magic, Bird, and Jordan won't win an NBA title with a small market team. NO Prime NBA Free Agents wants to play in Cleveland. They rather play in LA, New York, Boston or Chicago. The Showtime Lakers, 1980's Boston Celtics, and even the late 1990's Chicago were a very stacked team.

I don't give a sh!t if he is 'prompted' or not. Even this guy isn't dumb enough not to know how to get around questions that are going to cause a stir.
"I'm in Miami now. That is my only focus at this point in my career."
That is all it would take. He doesn't even have to totally rule it out if he wants to dangle a fake carrot for the moronic masses. He does that kind of cliched sh1t when it comes to a myriad of other topics.
But, any time Cleveland is brought up, he has a mouthful to say... Whether it was clowning the organization for losing last year or now transparently attempting to re-ingratiate himself to the fans and inject himself back into the spotlight.
And, if you'd have him back, refer to my post above. There is only one move that could make me turn away from the Cavs and that would be taking 6 back. As a life long fan, that is saying a lot. The Cavs are engrained in me and have been since a very young age when my dad began taking me to games at Richfield Coliseum on weekends.
I'd love nothing more than a championship for this city or for that franchise... But, not that way.
This is all very pointless to even discuss because it has absolutely no chance of happening... Which brings me back to my initial point. Every time this franchise and this city begins to really separate itself from the James drama he injects himself back into it like a quivering attention junky.
Take that sh!t somewhere else.

Just look at the Celtics and Showtime Lakers roster. Even a Ultra Athletic Michael Jordan couldn't win a playoffs game againts Bird's Celtics. People are saying that the Heat are the most talented team's in the NBA today, but they are not a deeper team compared to the Celtics and Lakers who were head and shoulders above their competitions.

Moving on from him is one thing. What he is doing doesn't really interest me anymore. For instance, last year I watched as many Heat games as I could in hopes to see them lose. I was really wrapped up in what was happening with him and wanted to see him fail so badly that I considered myself still "not over it."
However, after the Finals and once we drafted Kyrie, I was pretty much done in paying attention to the Heat and 6. Don't get me wrong... I still hope they lose and I'd like nothing more than for him to embarrass himself on the big stage again, but I don't care enough to watch them play or check out his nightly stat lines or comment on James threads not related to the Cavs.
I will never respect him again and certainly could never envision rooting for him under any circumstances, but I'm over him in terms of being really wrapped up in the whole Heat thing.
My entire focus this year has been on the Cavs and the improvements I see, especially with the young fella and my man Alonzo. I really like this team and I see much potential on that roster. No need to spend my time actively rooting against some guy on some other team in some other city.
I don't see how you can be so indifferent to the whole thing, though. Sports are about emotion as much as they are appreciating athleticism or great players or any of that stuff. Without the emotion involved and just dismissing everything that happens on the court and off of it almost immediately doesn't make sense to me.
We have a long history with this guy. It ended about as badly as humanly possible because that is the route he chose. He lost my respect forever with that whole charade. I could never root for him again regardless of what jersey he is wearing.

I don't know.
I'll tell you what I do know, though...
1. Those guys wouldn't have gone out as disgracefully as James did. None of those guys would have so clearly given up in a very winnable series against the Celtics after a 60+ win season. People so easily forget... the Cavs were up 2-1 in that series when James decided to go into "shell" mode.
That is part of the reason the reaction from Cleveland has been so negative. The last time we saw him in a Cavs' uniform, he looked like he wanted to be somewhere else instead of doing everything in his power to beat a team that was actually on the ropes at one point in the series.
Then, after such an effortless, gutless performance in the final three games where it really looked like he couldn't have cared less, he ripped off his jersey and called us "spoiled."
2. Those guys wouldn't have gone on that ridiculous free agent courtship where they brought every GM into the heart of downtown Cleveland, leaving the city to predictably beg them to stay... Only to go on an hour television show to announce they were leaving without showing a shred of emotion or humility.
3. Those guys would have absolutely, positively NOT joined forces with their biggest rival to form some kind of half-@ssed AAU team and turn chasing a ring into a never-before-seen art from. You know how I know they wouldn't have done it, besides living through their eras (unlike you) and knowing how they were as players and competitors? They ALL actually came out and said that there is no way in hell they would have done what he did.
So, I'm not sure how those guys would have done in Cleveland. I know about the rest of the story, though.

We have a long history with this guy. It ended about as badly as humanly possible because that is the route he chose. He lost my respect forever with that whole charade. I could never root for him again regardless of what jersey he is wearing.
like i said, im not really sure why i dont hate him. at the time, i was just shell shocked, it took a while to really sink in.
maybe its because even when he was on the cavs, he sorta irritated me. the dancing, the showing off, he was just never fun to root for.
i got league pass this year, so i can watch every cavs game, so i am following them more closely this year than ever, so im more attached to this team, than any lebron was on, so maybe that plays a part too.
My entire focus this year has been on the Cavs and the improvements I see, especially with the young fella and my man Alonzo. I really like this team and I see much potential on that roster. No need to spend my time actively rooting against some guy on some other team in some other city.
not to get off topic, but, man, gee is so fun to root for. dude never settles, always attacks, and is great at finishing at the rim, tough as nails too. hard not to love him. doesnt get involved in any BS, keeps his composure at all times. his euro-step is a thing of beauty
Do you think Prime Bird, Prime Johnson and Prime Jordan would have won an NBA title with the 2007-2010 Cavaliers?
im not sure about bird, but i think magic or jordan could have, yes.

I will gladly get off topic when it comes to my man 'Zo... He has been great this year. The improvements from 2011 to 2012 are striking and they bode well for his future. Along with his offensive arsenal, as you mentioned, he is also a hell of a defensive player and can go against the top 2s and 3s in the league and come out of it on top.
I'm not sure why Byron is so intent on starting Casspi when Gee is so obviously 100x the player Omri is. Maybe he doesn't want 'Zo to get complacent? Maybe he just likes having that firepower coming off of the bench?
I don't know for sure, but one thing that I'm starting to really feel... Gee is a serious part of our future and, if he keeps improving leaps and bounds the way he has this year, he could be a real impact player on an elite team.
I'm a big, big fan. He and Kyrie are so much fun to watch. They've made the Cavs one of the most entertaining teams in the league. Unfortunately, most people don't know it yet... But they will eventually.

It is amazing to me how much he still talks about Cleveland. Seriously, f#ck this guy. People say that "Cleveland needs to get over James."
Maybe James needs to get over Cleveland? You made your decision, now stick to it and STFU. Only those with absolutely no pride would accept you back and that encompasses a very, very small minority of this city. You are never coming back and you know it.
He could easily not continually talk about Cleveland, but he is such an embarrassing attention wh0re that he will never stop. I don't think that he likes the idea of Kyrie Irving performing so well and the fact that Cavs' fans attention has shifted from him to Kyrie. He wants that spotlight back. He needs people talking about him... He loves it. He lives for it.
You are in Miami now. You play for the Heat. Just do that and don't worry about what is going on in Cleveland. Win a title with your glorified professional AAU team... I honestly don't give a flying f#ck.
:hammerhead:
Dude you have whined like a girl since the decision.

^^^The moment I care what you think, I'll let you know.
If being a 'girl' means not wanting a player that you don't like to be a part of your franchise, then I guess I'm a girl.
Meanwhile, you represent probably the most awful fanbase in professional sports. 'Grats.
And, the correct "PR response" would be the one I quoted above. The notion of a guy even talking about playing for some other team while in the midst of trying to win a championship in his second season with an absolutely stacked AAU-ish roster is kind of funny.
You think that is PR savvy?

It sounds more like his media handlers telling him to say this, so he'll appear like he's not holding a grudge.
teh chosen1 didn't just burn this bridge down. He nuked it and the entire surrounding landscape, what with never committing to staying so no other major talent would commit either, then leading Cleveland on for months, then bailing on them in an hour-long display of narcissism, then the douchebag victory parade of teh heetz before they'd won a single game. And he's never once accepted any measure of responsibility for his part in the whole fiasco. His whole "What should I do" response to the criticism was more of his signature egotistical dodging of any responsibility.
If he does actually mean it, and it's not just more media-posturing to improve his "brand", it'll be unexpected. And I'll never be completely surprised by people betraying their claimed principles when offered profit and star-power, so Cleveland may well welcome him back someday. If they do, it'll be yet another chapter in the farce of LeBron James' craven egotism getting ignored by everyone in love with his talent.
For Cleveleand's part, and their sense of self-respect, I hope they don't.

Calm down, Corky. There is no defense for how crappy his Cleveland teammates were. There is a reason they went on a 26 game losing streak without him
Theres a reason they won 60 plus games, two seasons in a row with him. Just like theres also a reason why his new squad from last year won less games, with a supposedly better team him.
Because his Cleveland, simply wasn't bad at all.

He should have avoided the question. LeBron has had mics pushed in his face for the last decade. There is no way you can tell me that he didn't understand that any answer indicating a return to Cleveland would generate major headlines.
He's playing great this season, and all of the general hatred aimed at him from last year was fading. Now he does something else to make people dislike him more.
You should see the comments from non-NBA fans on forums like Yahoo. He's getting killed. For a guy who supposedly only wants to be liked, he just keeps doing things to ensure the opposite.

that is the stupidest thing to come out of Lebron's camp. Akron and Cleveland's outlying suburbs are practically connected to each other. Bout 30 mins from heart of cleveland to heart of akron.
But there is not, has never been, will never be any sort of animosity between the two cities. Its made up. Nobody in cleveland hates akron and vice versa. It's not like Akron isn't ghetto as F*ck just like Cleveland is. SMH at this "big city kids" nonsense.

Why not... at the end of the day its just basketball and all the drama happened just because of a basketball decision aswell... he holds no grudge against Cavs fans, he admit his exit wasnt the most beautiful either so he understands and said he would have changed it.... even tho i think it wouldnt make a difference, they are mad because he left, i dont think it would matter how beautifully he would have left, he left..... the fans wanted him to be there his entire life, control him like a slave...
this is just basketball and it is bussiness, its nothing personal... but Cleveland took it extremly personal... if you want "loyalty" in the NBA then go follow your local high school team instead...
really man? we all wanted him to be our slave? slaves dont need a rake to pull in all that cash. to say somthing like that is an insult to anyone who was ever a slave. lebron was a grown man and as much as we didnt like it in cleveland he is not a slave and is was allowed to do as he pleased. if he had handled things better in in 2010 there wouldnt be soooo much hate for him here. sure we would hate on him but he took a dump on our chest and then broke up with us (cleveland steamer).

this is exactly what he did the whole time he was in cleveland. wearing yankee caps to indians playoff games and shitting on his fans (bc yes the same people who went to baseball games go to cavs games).
is anyone in miami really surprised by this? this guy bolted on his home town. why the hell wouldnt he leave miami when his deal is up? there are only a few situations where i would say yes for sure he will sign another deal with miami. even if they run the table and win 2 or 3 in a row i could see him leaving to go out and try to prove he can do it on his own. if he can get over the hump and win one maybe he would have the confidence to do it. bc the only thing stopping lebron from winning titles now is lebron.
they need to put a stop to this kind of stuff and fine players just like they would fine anyone else in an franchise who talks like that.

Lebron only said that he wouldnt rule out playing for them, just like he wouldnt rule out playing for ANYBODY else... thats all it means..... he didnt meant that as in him wanting to go back or leave or anything like that... he simply answered a question if he holds a grudge against Cavs, if he would rule out playing for them again.....

You don't say "I don't know what my future holds", like you have zero control over your future, where you sign your next contact, etc.
His answer was only to let people know that he may do what he did in 2010 again. Plus, that answer you suggested would have been a lot nicer than what he actually did to them with the Decision.
He didn't consider his fans' (Cavs) feelings back then, and now is being a jerk to the Heat fans, and you're attempting to make it look like he was just being nice.
Kyrie looks like he's going to be a star. In a few years, he will more then likely be better then an old broken down Dwyane Wade. Like someone else said, he could go there to play with another Batman. I definitely don't think he stays in Miami. I don't think he leaves in 2014, but probably 2016 when his contract is completely over. I will never like Lebron, but this would be an amazing story.
Nah, I just can't see it happening, perhaps at the end of his career, but now? No. Absolutely not.
If I were a Cavaliers fan, I would hate the organization of accepting that kind of travesty. He just left you, after promising championships, to "greener pastures" and taking "the easy way out". So after failing to win championships, you want to come back and except the fans to like you back?

Head on over to realcavsfans.com if you want a really large sample size and not base an opinion on a couple of guys on a general fan board, one of which has LBJ in his f#cking username. That is the web's largest contingent of Cavs fans and, trust me... Out of the thousands of registered users, there may be two that want him back. Maybe these same two guys as on ISH.
Been a member there for years and all Cav fans are not members of that site. A lot of those ppl over there are not even true fans and want the team to lose to to get a top 5 draft picks...WTF.

^^^It should be interesting trying to figure out who decided to make a new account for this specific thread. I'm leaning toward PB.
The very obviously intentionally misspelled words are throwing me off, though.

Don't front Cleveland fans, you would take him back
I literally would not take him back for any reason whatsoever.
he literally disgraced a city and his teammates in the biggest way he
possibly could.
we have a rising star on our team now, (who is one of the most clutch rookies I've ever seen) who i'm looking forward to watching leading our team. we will hopefully have another rising star join our team in the upcoming draft as well.
he is the second most hated man in the history of cleveland, why would we want him back?

As the Voice of all Cavs Fans, I would take him back. Just as I was the first who spoke on him leaving the Cavs, I start the movement of accepting him back.
I really think LeBron has learned a lot over the past two years. He understood what's important to him. I feel the decision to go to Miami was one where he thought he was doing it for the best of his career. But when he got there, was it really worth it? He's out of his element down there. Having kicked it in the club with him a couple times, he likes the party but not to PARTY, understand what I'm saying?
Miami is so vacation and not a place to live and raise kids. LeBron is understanding all this. Props to him for admitting he made a mistake.

he is pretty much making cleveland put all their trust in him (for a second time) and stop their rebuilding movement just so that if he feel like he can come back to cleveland
lebron is a proven liar.

Neither of u are the voice for Cav fans. We all have different opions some of us would take him back and some won't. I speak for myself not others. Also why are we letting non Cav fans have us arguing with each other?

It is amazing to me how much he still talks about Cleveland. Seriously, f#ck this guy. People say that "Cleveland needs to get over James."
Maybe James needs to get over Cleveland? You made your decision, now stick to it and STFU. Only those with absolutely no pride would accept you back and that encompasses a very, very small minority of this city. You are never coming back and you know it.
He could easily not continually talk about Cleveland, but he is such an embarrassing attention wh0re that he will never stop. I don't think that he likes the idea of Kyrie Irving performing so well and the fact that Cavs' fans attention has shifted from him to Kyrie. He wants that spotlight back. He needs people talking about him... He loves it. He lives for it.
You are in Miami now. You play for the Heat. Just do that and don't worry about what is going on in Cleveland. Win a title with your glorified professional AAU team... I honestly don't give a flying f#ck.
:hammerhead:
:roll:
I don't give a sh!t if he is 'prompted' or not. Even this guy isn't dumb enough not to know how to get around questions that are going to cause a stir.
"I'm in Miami now. That is my only focus at this point in my career."
That is all it would take. He doesn't even have to totally rule it out if he wants to dangle a fake carrot for the moronic masses. He does that kind of cliched sh1t when it comes to a myriad of other topics.
But, any time Cleveland is brought up, he has a mouthful to say... Whether it was clowning the organization for losing last year or now transparently attempting to re-ingratiate himself to the fans and inject himself back into the spotlight.
And, if you'd have him back, refer to my post above. There is only one move that could make me turn away from the Cavs and that would be taking 6 back. As a life long fan, that is saying a lot. The Cavs are engrained in me and have been since a very young age when my dad began taking me to games at Richfield Coliseum on weekends.
I'd love nothing more than a championship for this city or for that franchise... But, not that way.
This is all very pointless to even discuss because it has absolutely no chance of happening... Which brings me back to my initial point. Every time this franchise and this city begins to really separate itself from the James drama he injects himself back into it like a quivering attention junky.
Take that sh!t somewhere else.
:oldlol: Holy shit.

If we do...you gonna act like im an idiot for suggesting the fanbase would instantly embrace him?
If this whole thing made one thing clear its this....
Any fanbase would welcome anyone back...if wins come with them.
This was the greatest test case in sports history...and id have to say its pretty much proven to be true.
Fans dont really give a shit. They want to win...all the "Id never take ____ on my team" talk goes out the window.
But I was in 3-4 topics back in the day with people acting like I pulled it out of my ass.
It was always clear.
The only thing im shocked by...is an old topic proving Pleezebelieve to be the most accurate representation of Cavs fans.
That is rare. But the minute word leaked that he might return and these people started lining up on his street.....PB became the rightest guy in that fanbase(ISH wise).
We may be in a parallel universe.
