How many turnovers did he have? Airballs? Expect a lot of that from LeBron. 3-4 great nights, then nights where you shake your head and say ” WTF is he doing??!!?”

Sid 1; LeBron: 0

The Heat are selling out every arena they attend ! All the haters that are booing are only booing and hating because he is not on their team ! So, since they are gonna hate anyway, he should make them eat their hearts out, while beating their teams!

If he agreed to go to ANY of the teams ( even back to Cleveland ) the fans would purchase every ticket available. The local businesses that would benefit ( sports bars, restaurants, t-shirt vendors, parking deck owners etc ) so, they would throw every penny available at the team owner, to persuade the transaction. His stock is going up with every boo !

All the commissioner and team owners understand is ….BUTTS IN SEATS ! Which LBJ is helping the league and teams around the league accomplish.

Factually speaking….

Only then will people forget about hating this idiot.

Amazing, I know. See, the question isn’t how people who “actually understood” felt, but how LA felt.

Averages 30 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists for his career ij post season. 2 years ago he avg an unbelievable 35-9-8. Unheard of. Jordan & Kobe never had a single post-season like that.

I know last year he hung his head in a blowout loss but there was no way he could have won that game 5 by himself. We’ll be singing a different tune after he is the best player on a couple championship teams.

(Buss pulled the trigger on that deal, and he was right to do it.) That was about the lowest Kobe’s image was in LA but I live here and I wouldn’t say he was hated. Not by anyone who actually understood what was going on with that team.

LeBron is loved in Miami and his image needs to be rehabbed everywhere else.

If he wasn’t this famous, we wouldn’t think of him as a villain, simply a me-first asshole. That being said, he’s an amazing player (in the regular season).

He used to get knocked for not being a crunch-time player but he is now. Down 89-82 with 2 minutes remaining he brought his team back to force overtime… then outscored Portland by himself in overtime. He balled out and when he hit the long dagger 3-point shot he flexed his arms and taunted the crowd. I love it. He said “F*** YOU” to the haters and let his play on the court do his talking.

His image rehab needed work in the rest of the country.

The media and Lakers fans have forgiven Kobe Bryant for the whole rape controversy. People are cheering for Tiger. Nobody mentions Ben’s bad decisions anymore. What did LeBron do? An ego soaked 1 hour television show that we all watched? He decided to join forces with two (okay, one) other superstars in Miami, a city that is very apathetic about sports until it’s playoff time? Who cares…

I get that he embarrassed Cleveland, but that’s their fault for anointing a teenage their king.
