They should wait a year before they start that streak because I would love to see another Lakers three-peat

I was told that Lebron is bringing his curse to Miami.

That is exactly right. He didn't have enough confidence in himself to do it like Jordan. Cleveland is angry. I have never seen an owner a team react like they have to his leaving. Unbelievable!

Mayagoitia just state " It is a shame that Lebron quit, I won't never do that to Tachenko's fans"

The anger has boiled over. Never have I seen someone so loved and then so hated in one day. The way he decided to do it and throw it in the face of everyone in the state of Ohio on national television was just unbelievable. I think a fair and balanced article probably the best I have read yet is here,

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-lebrondecision070910

$70 dollar jersey's burned outside the arena, there ashes left in a pile. People burning their jersey's and posting them on You Tube with more expletives then you care to count or listen too. Sports radio talk shows buzzing about Gilbert's open letter..........just amazing. Gilbert is an idiot who does he think he is going to bring in to Cleveland to help win a championship before D Wayde and his assistants? Brad Miller? The good free agents are signed Lebron made sure to wait long enough to make his decision to make sure Cleveland would not be able to sign anyone else. Pathetic and dirty!

Quote of the day......"Lebron was supposed to be the next Michael Jordan, instead he chose to be Scottie Pippen!"

Cleveland fans reacted exactly like this when Art Model took his browns and left town, they reacted like this when Carlos Boozer told them not to exercise the club option and then bolted.

As soon as clevelanders come to realize that Cleveland is a grubby little town with shitty weather and no sex appeal, the sooner they'll find peace. Cleveland is what it is and superstars don't want to be there.

I can't stand Lebron. But I'll tell you what.... 7 seasons in Cleveland is plenty. Ohio is not exactly a traveled destination. Other than "The Ohio State U" what the heck else is there? The Rock Hall of Fame.... Going to Florida was the right move. No income tax. Near perfect weather in the winter months. And seriously.... Cleveland=Not so nice place for a millionaire to live in. I will say this. The Celtics knock the Heat out of the play-offs and loose to the Lakers in 7 again!

I wouldn't blame lebron for this situation, at least not completely. The show about his decision was ridiculous but Cleveland can't blame him for choosing that late. They had the option of giving lebron a deadline to communicate his decision to cleveland so they could have enough time to sign up free agents players. They didn't and that was a bad management decision, now they are blaming lebron for that?!.

On top of that they had seven years to build a team around lebron. Never happened. They just needed one big talented guy in the paint and 4/5 decent players. Never happened.

So yes, all this show that lebron did was stupid and unnecessary only understandable from the commercial perspective. However, blaming lebron for the bad management of the cavs, the economical situation of Ohio etc... is not fair.
