LeBron James Is A Self-Centered, Backstabbing Liar.

LeBron James is annoying. He’s a self-centered backstabbing liar, hidden in an NBA superstar’s body. While he is the best player in basketball, his off-season actions in 2010 and 2014 speak volumes about what James represents.

After making the entire world wait for yet another decision, Friday SI.com published a letter from James, announcing he’ll return to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014-15. This appears to be the turning point in a biopic movie made for the big screen. With the deluge of admiration and praise thrown his way across the country, it is safe to say a lot of people feel that way, especially the people of Cleveland — the same people who deemed him Public Enemy No. 1 in 2010.
The smoke screen for “The Decision” in 2010 was the charitable gesture towards the Boys and Girls Clubs. Yet, it was an asinine way to let Cleveland know he was leaving. He admitted he would do things differently if he had the chance.

This announcement to return back to Cleveland is buttered up by a “heartfelt” letter basically to that same fan base.
“Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio,” James wrote. “It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart”
That’s just an example of the nauseating apology James confesses. When reading closely, it’s clearly all about self-centered LeBron. The letter is filled with a lot of “I, me, my” and everything in between.

James said he left to win championships, something Miami previously experienced. Now, he wants to end Cleveland’s half century championship drought with “one trophy”, while raising his family at home. He said Cleveland is the only place he’d leave Miami for because it makes him happy. James also revealed him and Dan Gilbert have made amends. The letter closed with the “realistic” belief a championship will not come to Cleveland next season, but he’s looking forward to the challenge of building towards that.

Never in the history of sports has any player made such an over dramatic publicity stunt when deciding where to play. Don’t be fooled by the initially charming yet disingenuous smile he poses on the top of this “essay.” Notice the piece of jewelry on his right ring finger – a championship ring with the Miami Heat. James, even in attempt to display a heartwarming gesture, is about himself.
That ring is one of two won with Miami – not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven and not eight. Remember what “King James” said shortly after signing with the Heat? When asked how many titles Miami’s ‘Big Three’ would win, James confidently proclaimed, “Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven.

“And when I say that I really believe it,” James would later say. “I’m not just up here blowing smoke at none of these fans because that’s not what I’m about. I’m about business and we believe we can win multiple championships if we take care of business and do it the right way.”

He lied and backstabbed Pat Riley, Dwayne Wade and Heat fans, which to be clear, I’m not one of. I don’t feel for Miami just like I didn’t for Cleveland in 2010, but this time, just like when he said “I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat,” it was all about LeBron.
The man opted out of a contract after only four years, despite promising at least eight championships. His opt out forced Wade and Chris Bosh to do the same in hopes Miami could re-sign “King James.” Bosh is returning with a lucrative max contract, while a declining Wade may have lost out on millions, as the Heat reportedly try to bring him back.

LeBron turned on his superstar cohorts, just like the people of Miami whom he promised an abundance of titles for.

Ya, a change that brings in a guy like Pop, Carlisle or Thibs would leave them in a better spot. Ty Lue? You've got to be kidding me. Nothing is going to change. Lebron was coaching the team with Blatt and now he'll continue to coach the team with Ty. This was a move to appease Lebron, not to better the team.

For the record, I like Lebron and think he's a solid guy. Stuff like this is more a product of everyone blowing smoke up his ass and giving him whatever he's wanted since HS. It's not him being a bad guy.

Right, u dont like this guy, don t respect him cause he s never been an nba coach, whatever fine, replace him with a known, a carlisle, a pop, phil, someone who has won...not another unkown..u replaced one rookie with another...and i got news for everyone; if u think in the finals, that tyron lue gives you an advantage that blatt didn t over a pop, or a kerr, than i will gladly take your action

its just so dishonest for anyone to claim that lebron didn t hand write the pink slip, but i guess when your job is to carry water for someone, everything is a bucket..

Wow Cavs looked bad tonight. Lue looked lost I thought. What bad timing for this firing, Cavs 1st in the east, came within 2 games of winning the title last year and now what...who will coach the east the in the NBA Allstar game Lue!? Just makes the Allstar game even more silly. Bryant starting for the west..haha What a joke.

Not only did they get their ass kicked by a Bulls team that had dropped 6 of their last 8, but Ty laughably blamed it on their conditioning, "I don't think we're in good enough shape," Lue said. "I think early, we wanted to push it, we wanted to open the floor, and I think we came out and did that, and then I think we just dropped off the map. I think we got tired."

On the bright side, at least Lue has King James' support, "Yup, we got to get in better shape," he said. "Coach wanted to play faster, so we need to start doing stuff on off days, doing stuff at practice, during shootarounds, getting up and down the floor, getting our heart rate going, because he wants to play faster, play with more pace than we've done in the past. Try to get up and down the court before the defense is set on us. So we all need to be in better shape."

Always good to see that Ty's "new" offense at least kept one key element of the old offense, ignoring Kevin Love (while LBJ and Kyrie combine to go 16-43).

Like I said earlier in this thread, the Cavs are going to get what they deserve.

what cleveland needs is a gm willing to take a stand against lbj

kobe is 100x fiercer when it comes to competition
before the back2back, there were literally trade talks every day in lakerland. this dude was clamoring for more help behind the scenes, and you don't have to think hard to imagine the shit he would be saying. but mitch kupchack held his ground, after getting ariza and pau, nabbed bynum, then got two rings. kobe has gone on record saying shit like he'd run with jkidd, kg, etc etc.
players aren't GMs and while they have the ego to think they know better, they really don't.

while some of it is james' fault, management needs to learn to put a player in his place. the problem is they are more in fear of lbj leaving than anything else.

Yep. All you have to do is look at MJ. Guy was the GOAT as a player but a dumpster fire as a GM. Good call remembering when Kobe wanted to trade Bynum for a past his prime Kidd and the Lakers said hell no. Lakers went on to win two rings with Kobe/Bynum in 09 and 10.

100% agree with the bold. Part of the reason it worked in Miami is Pat Reilly was willing to take a stand. He stood by Spo when things got off to a rocky start and eventually Lebron bought in and they won a couple of rings. Unfortunately, David Griffin isn't Pat Reilly.
