Zzzzzzz

summer is coming. if you want to Lose Those Dreaded 5 lbs.please come to (==Match/Sugar.c o m== ) .because at this site , there are many people who drop a few pounds successefully. you can get some useful information from them. show your slim figure.

Instead of leaving CLeveland, he should have left his girl….i would not have that on my arm if i was “king” status. He will be cheating on her soon. DWade gonna school him on the art of cheating on ya girl with a bad broad.

Can we let this go? Seriously?

I really wish yall would stop calling him bronbron….. anyways lebron is a follower and Jordan is a leader

@ Styles

STFU!!!

Michael was great “in his day”. Charles was OK, I guess. But they should let LeBron find his own way, not what “they would have done”. They don’t know what motivated him to leave. There were probably other factors involved. LeBron and Savannah make a nice couple too.

I totally agree with Michael.
@New Day
If Charles was ok and Michael was just great I would hate to see what you consider good. These guys where athletes, not crybabies

Rolly u wanna bet some money on that…not saying his chic ugly. I’m just saying he about to be in South Beach 24/7. Nothing but quality chics. Compare that to Cleveland…lol

@anon… I agree with you.. let this go i will not even comment on this! Mj and LB are both great players.. so no Gd argument there!! NEXT!!!

MJ need to stop foolin himself…he gotta realize if he didn’t have scotty pippen to play alongside him all those years, he would probably have left after the first three years on the bulls. I’m shocked lebron stayed as long as he did with that sorry azz team master Gilbert left him with.

MONEY TALKS LOUDER!!

I respect bron bron’s decision cuz it was his right…but it doesn’t mean folks can’t critique the decision

I agree with your airness. I think it would of been better for bronie to win a ring in cleveland…it would be better for his legacy. If he wins with miami…to me its like…he better win with all those guys around him. But I concur with mike and the vets.

Straight from the REAL KING’S mouth! LeBron gave up! Pure and simple.

It’s funny, LeBron WORSHIPS this man and Jordan couldn’t think LeBron could be more overrated than he already is.

LeBron wanted to not only give up his number 23, but get every other player with the number 23 to give it up “in honor” of Jordan.

Yet, Jordan stated this week that Kobe is better than him (which is true).

@STYLES

STFU!!

Well,One if my friends have seen his verified profile a
^^^^^^^^^^Rich Flirts (C/-O/-M) _____^^^^^^^^^^^^, she dosent belive it and said hello to him, but got no reply. do you guys believe this?

Lebron is gonna get married to the other Kardashian chic or Brooke Hogan in two years.

Yep, judgin’from his babymama’s frumpiness, and subpar looks, it’s just a matter of time before ol’LeBron gives in to the TEMPTATIONS that Miami has to offer. Dude, it’s definitely time for an UPGRADE.

Young people today don’t know anything about hard work..To me,Lebron took the easy way out..he was already on one of the TOP teams in the east..Since he couldnt do it alone in cleveland,he wants to go where it’s gonna be easy for him? They have a USA dream team down there in Miami now…where’s the competetion gonna come from?Seeing them smash damn near every team in the league is not gonna be exciting..That’s like damn near cheatin almost

Let’s just hope he’s more loyal to his girl than he was to his team.

She should really tighten it up though.

There’s going to be serious competition in Miami.

You don’t work and your man is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

There’s really no reason to look like that.

I’m not judging, I’m just sayin’.

Good Morning Rose. How you doing?

i look at these pics and i’m pissed at savannah for not even tryin. then she’ll act all surprised and bewildered next year when she hears on the news along with all of us that lebron married someone. i can’t believe she went to the beach like this with her man, no she don’t have on a “throw” that don’t even cover her flabby thighs and tell me that is not a corner beauty supply store elastic in her hair. she just givin her man away.

********************************
I agree. Also Michael had the ability to make those around him better players and they were eager to be better players unlike Lebron’s teammates. Mike’s teammates always seemed to be in position to make those key shots when he couldn’t.

MJ didn’t get those rings alone. He had great help in Pippen, Kukoc, Grant, shoot even Rodman. He didn’t have to leave to get his rings, but his competitive nature would let him sit in a losing situation.
And Barkley wishes he would have had to juice to form a winning team.
They need to stop.

Finally somebody said it and I hate that it was MJ, but it’s still true…. Although I think James is a great player and he’s a grown a** man capable of making his own decisions, it was still a cheap-a**, b**** move. Like MJ said, if you that great, players should be flocking to play with you and not vice versa. There were countless other people that needed to be scrapped from Cleveland and one of them wasn’t Lebron.

This ni99a took “if you can’t beat’em, join’em” to another level. This is why, if I was given the choice between Kobe and Lebron, i’d pick Kobe hands down. Lebron just doesn’t have what it takes to be a winner. Even if Miami does take it the upcoming year, it’s going to be one of those thing where people are going to say, “they only did it because _______”

@Michael Jordan

At least LeBron likes black women and isn’t a becky chaser like you…..

We complain when a woman is over the top with spending on clothes,shoes, plastic surgery, etc. Now, when we come across a lady that chooses to be herself and not some fake made up wanna-be, we are still complaining about she is too average and will lose her man. There’s no winning in this society because we are too brainwashed to understand what real beauty is. Not every man wants a anorexic, plastic, spending up all the money on things that want be in style the next season type of woman.

@ As the world turns
We shall see. Women are more compassionate and will say things like, “Maybe he likes a normal girl and not some mannequin”. Men are realist and can see the problems coming a mile away.

LEBRON MESS WITH THEM MIAMI CHICKS HE GONA GET BURNED .. ANDNOT TALKING BAOUT SUNTAN

GET THEM SHOTS lebron!!!!!!!!!!

DON’T STEP OUT WITH NO DIRTY SOUTH CHICKS EWWWW!!! THEY DON’T HAVE SHOTS!!!!lol

WHO CARES WHAT SELLOUTS SAY-

LEBRON WOMAN (HIS KID MOTHER) IS BLACK!!!! BLACK KINGDOM- CALL HIM KING

JORDAN AND BARKLEY SELL OUTS!!!!!!!!!BECAUSE JORDAN AND BARKLEY ARE HOUSE BOYS.

IT IS LEBRON LIFE HE OWE NO ONE ANYTHING. AS SOON AS A BROTHER DO ONE THING WRONG HE WOULD HAVE HAD PITCH FORKS UNDER HIM.

THANK YOU. SOMEONE NOT SCARED OF COPORATE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!

@Styles, I’m glad you got the irony of my name, “As the world turns.” Or maybe you didn’t…. Anywho, maybe he will cheat. But either way, she’s paid whether they are together or not. I don’t think she’ll need public housing. And while screenames rant about how homely she is on their work computers or on their laptops, she’s vacaying on the beach with her man.

@ Super Goon…give it some time bruh..give it some time. All the greats had a becky…

Kobe…Becky in Colorado
MJ..left his wife for Becky
Karl Malone…wifed a Becky
Wilt Chamberlain…well, he had LOTS of Beckys
Lebron James….TBA

CREATING MUTTS BABIES IS A DOWN GRADE(TO BLACKS OF REAL CULTURE) IF HE GETS WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN A BLACK QUEEN!!!!!!!!

HE LAY DOWN WITH A MIAMI CHICK PREPARE TO BREED MUTTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ As the World Turns:

And yet another person who’s only definition of “success” is how much money you make and what your social status is. I’m glad everyone in the world is not as narrow-minded and shallow as you. I’d imagine what the world would be like if sites like this and even news didn’t exist. People like would probably be worshipping a solid gold statute of this man and any other celebrity.

Are we talking about basketball or the hoes they fluck?????

You think LeBron ain’t fuggin a yt girl? You see he ain’t married that fat azz chick that had his babies! No sir.

LeBron would be wise to listen to Jordan. He got married to a black woman and we see what happened.

@llebrons girl, I am in the real world. And why are you obsessed about him leaving her? Honestly, why do you care? Adding on to my point that ppl need negative things to happen in other ppl’s lives so they can feel relevant or better about their current situation. You obviously have nothing going on in your life. Or either your man just left you so you want to see someone else brokenhearted. But the difference here is that after your breakup, you probably were left with bills and if he leaves her, she’ll be swimming in them… Hurts huh???

i’m a better friend to savannah than her friends. at least i’m honest. she supposed to elevate with her man. not dissin her, she needs a little help getting it together.

I get so sick of the Jordan/James comparison..Michael was the best…Period.

LeBron is a great player, but not even close to michael in skill, leadership and character. His Cav teammates saved his azz many times and becuz they didn’t get the job done everybody blames them. Michael had some lackluster players around him especially at center but his leadership made them better. Do you really think Pippen would have became the player he was without Michael pushing him in practice every day? I highly doubt it.

i’ve made my point.

yes Mike had pippen. But those guys knew he was great and knew he’d be open so they put themselves in position to make shots if mike was able to.

I never thought bron bron to be real leader. Being a great player doesn’t make u a leader, and that may be the reason why his teammates never progressed with him.

@man…I don’t like kobe, but i agree. Kobe wants to take the big shots, wants to be the man during crunch time…it seems like lebron disappears during those moments. I don’t agree with Dan Gilbert saying he quit during those games…but i personally didn’t htink the effort was there.

Some of ya’ll kill me with this “should never leave the house looking like that” sh*t. If you have love and are in a comfortable relationship, it shouldn’t matter what you look like everyday. My man loves me in sweats and a t-shirt, no make-up on and says that’s when I am most beautiful. Insecurity hides behind make-up and accessories.

Its nice to look good, but in some woman, that is all they have to offer when you strip them down…

Yes i derailed this article because it was wack..now it has taken a turn for the best. I will say this, everybody argues about whos better, Kobe or Lebron…no argument on whos chic looks better. LMAO, Kobe wife was with him b4 the money and looks alot better.

@styles

Brother I have faith this time, I dunno why, I think Lebron has lernt from the mistakes of Wilt and them. Kobe would never ever be close to a yt if he didn’t have money and I think he knows

@heyphatty, i agree with natural beauty but comparing ya relationship to Lebrons is different. He’s a celebrity, in the public eye every day and makes millions. Get his girl some stylists with all that money and a trainer. Until then, cover them thighs up sweetheart.

He doesn’t have to be with a “white” girl. There are a lot of nice looking “black” women out here, a lot. Look what happened to Wade. Most men just want to be with a woman that takes care of themselves, regardless. I’m sure most women don’t want to be with a fat, lazy, greasy pot belly having man either, so do be so hypocritical.

@Wtf, no, money isn’t everything. However, you are not gonna find happiness through bitter rants about ppl who don’t know you exist. The point is that they are living their lives. Sites like this aren’t the real news, it’s entertainment. If you wanna know the real news, you gotta look for it. But help me understand this, if sites like this didn’t exist, why would we worship a gold statue of him? I mean, I would assume then we wouldn’t hear of his existance so much…. Right? Try again.

@WTF

I have to agree. But at the end of the day, are we not supposed to just win?

*don’t* fixed

@STLYES

None of these athletes would be with these beautiful women without the money and they all know. That’s the good thing about money, it comes with beautiful women.

Now, that being said, LeBron also learned from D. Wade and Jordan and WON’T be getting married to that pig that had his children. Wade and Jordan both married black women and we see how that ended.

@serene

“I respect bron bron’s decision cuz it was his right…but it doesn’t mean folks can’t critique the decision”

Truth! MJ was at a charity golf event and someone asked his OPINION. At no point did he ‘take shots’at Lebron.

@Eboniladi.. Good Morning lady and how might you be this lovely Monday morning? I am doing great and my week-end was wonderful!!

@ Styles you are sad – real talk. I am routing for the couple as well. Its sad that we do not encourage relationships staying in tact. Miami will be a challenge – but how about we wish for the best until something leads us to beleive otherwise ???

To me it sounds like jealousy – from both men and women. I wish them the best…and I hope that he will be able to withstand the temptation because them w h o r e s out there have a one track mind….and the realest chick you will be with is on your arm already.

Raise your children together – leave your crotch out of it and give the children what they deserve.

We should not promote or encourage what these “men” are doing. Its not cool – to just having children – with a “black” woman and then leaving your wife – that you chose to be with for a status quo chick – who you will divorce you as well. These Ochocincos of the world are interesting. SMH

Doo doo face, Michael Jordan should shut his mouth. He’s seeing a gold digger. Poor fool.

@Man, I just don’t care™

Kobe vs. LeBron:

Better Game- Kobe

*****************************

Amen my brother, Amen, lmao… Let em’know

LMAO @ KOBE having a “better wife”.

Kobe has a wife Lebron is not married. So let’s get your facts straight.

Kobe does have much more than Lebron but he’s also much older.

Lebron has the opportunity t do very well only time will tell.

But I don’t think Lebron is getting married. This relationship may not lat once he’s hanging out in Miami Beach with the boys.

LOL

@super goon one:

Yeah but at what cost… and besides winning isn’t everything either. I’d still have much respect and admiration for the man if he never got a ring…. Hell I’d put him before many who have gotten a ring already.

who’s that old man with Savannah? o snap that’s LeBron! lol

As for MJ, he defused it well… CB should sit his old overwieght, non -title winning TNT commentating azz down sumwhere…. it;s a new time fellas

@ LS

Lebron is not married. And you can encourage all you want but the stats don’t support your “desires”.

Most African Americans are not married and most have children out of wedlock. These are the facts. AIDS is also larger in the African American community than any other. And more than 70% of African American children are born out of wedlock.

Saying that we don’t think Lebron will stay with the mother of his children is just being real. So spare the room of your Tyler Perry approach to relationships. like Jay-Z said…NUMBERS don’t LIE.

This relationship will not last. And Lebron did not marry this woman for a reason. It’s probably never going to happen.

@WTF

You seem like a damn good friend. I dunno what LeBron is thinking, maybe he just cares about rings and nothing else.

SO LISTEN UP – until LBJ cheats on his BEAUTIFUL wife he will have ALL my respect. It’S been 7 YEARS and he is STILL with HER!! Forget about all this move to miami ish where all the chicks is dimes. He is LBJ for crying out loud – you think he hasnt seen EVERY chick there is to have in the USA and across the GLOBE??? There is nothing like a down home chick and obviously this one is HOLDING IT DOWN!!

Lebron’s longtime High school sweet heart is very pretty. What makes Kobes wife or any other female better looking then she is?

@As the world turns

You gotta love gossip sites. They give average ppl a chance to feel relevant by tearing apart ppl who are obviously doing much better than them. Ppl who they will probably otherwise never know, meet, or even get a chance to be in the same social cl*****. I guess a lot of you like to write negative things about these ppl because it gives you a false sense of self esteem.

Hey Rose.

I’m good. Attended a neighborhood reunion this weekend and had a great time. Always good to see old friends and classmates.

@FURIOUS STYLES

This WILL last. Black men are not that weak!! Come on now!!! If Lebron wanted a white ho he would already have one!!!

@there it is…Kobes WIFE was with him in high school too. Are u saying Kobes wife isn’t better looking? Everyone has opinions, and my opinion is Kobe wife looks alot better. Shes in shape after having more kids than Brons girl, and is alot more stylish.

MJ made a point of being a competitor at the expense of LBJ.

LBJ has a right to make a decision but this man played on a team with the best record last year and with this team made it to the finals but didn’t bring home the gold.

He could have brought home the gold in two years with the Cavs had he had just a wee bit more patience but he wants it now.

This is the revelation that LBJ only wants a ring and not a HOF career. Yes MJ toiled in ChiTown for 6 years before he won a ring but he also used his knowledge and influence to bring on a great coach (Phil Jackson INSTEAD of Doug Collins) He had Horace Grant, Scottie Pippen, Luc Longley, Dennis Rodman, BJ Armstrong and others to support him. Only Rodman and Pippen were HOF material but MJ leadership made winners into a team with less talent than Cavs. LBJ may win a championship but HE will not be regarded as the one that made it happen, it will be DW.

All MJ is saying is that he had two goals was to win and be the best and he indirectly stated that LBJ doesn’t have the same personal goals.

@RazeKane, maybe I will start a self esteem clinic for screenames and haters. Come out from behind the blog. Perfect! Since I’ve peaked your interest so much, I offer you free sessions indefinitely. Ahh, doing good feels great.

Lebron DID NOT MARRY this women he had children with.

Over 7 Years and not married. I know he will never marry her. And Now that he is in Miami he will dump her all together soon.

Lebron wants a ring but he also wants the lifestyle. I would not even say he’s not already involved with other women. People thought Tiger was “committed” to his relationship and look what he did.

I think this woman is like many other women without any self respect for herself. She will continue to be used and wait in the wings and be unmarried. This is not love this is “convenient”.
Lebron is not different than any other “cheating” NBA player. But he’s NOT married so…

But Lebron has no integrity. He’s proven that. And he’s also not a leader on the court of off. Trust me. He will upgrade and marry a totally different woman than this unremarkable woman.

I see nothing interesting about her and they don’t even look like a good couple. This won’t last.

@Man

Come on

MJ: This woman had a job prior to meeting Mike and left it and her social life to sit up on a couch pregnant for 20 years her and he treated her like tradh

DWade: I can’t defened that chick. All I’ll say is Gabby will be a terrible stepmom.

You have a point but for me I want to see more black love and I’m guy. It just seem people like my parents don’t exsist anymore. SMH.

@as the world turns:

Oh you would still hear of his existence because word of mouth would still exists, but when I say “sites like this” I was referring to places that don’t always focus on the glorification of people and ideals. I don’t accept everything as truth on this site, and I don’t accept everything as truth on what you termed as “real news” sites.

Every negative comment doesn’t stem from some deep-rooted bitterness… some people just reserve praise for things less superficial. Criticism can be healthy..

Did it ever occur to any of you genius’s that he is attracted to her physically and mentally? I suppose he is ignorant for not considering any of you when he decided to mate with this woman. I’m sure when he gets to miami he will get some sense and marry some random gold digger…just what every “king” wants right?

@Yes Indeed

LeBron is a great player, but not even close to michael in skill, leadership and character. His Cav teammates saved his azz many times and becuz they didn’t get the job done everybody blames them. Michael had some lackluster players around him especially at center but his leadership made them better. Do you really think Pippen would have became the player he was without Michael pushing him in practice every day? I highly doubt it.
___________________________________________________

No doubt MJ had superb leadership skills that were proven by example, but what really puts a team over the top and closer to that championship is the skilled talent and play of the INDIVIDUAL player, the more of these quality players the better your team and pippen was one of the top 10 players in the league at the time. I don’t care how great MJ was as a player, without Pippen and maybe Kucok, MJ would not have made it that far..IMO. Btw, LEBRONS supporting cast were a mixture of old and low level players that would never carry a team to a championship without Lebron. I’ll never forget the playoffs last year when lebron lost to the final team, he was bloodied , broken and dejected after carrying his team and keeping the game competitive in the final quarter. Dude just seemed like he was tired of being superman most games. Seven years was WAY TO LONG for Lebron to stay on a team of AVERAGE players.

Micheal Jordan usually doesn’t usually doesn’t speak bad on anyone so I’m surprised but on a different subject Micheal Jordan is one fine hunk of dark chocolate! He looks like his late father.

@SUPER GOON
“Come on

_______________________________________________________

I mentionted that to make a point. LeBron marrying that woman doesn’t ensure he won’t get fugged over the SAME way Jordan and D.Wade (and numerous others) have been.

@Zaaquir: Well said my friend!!

@super goon one:

Brotha made it real clear that he’s desperate for that ring… and I don’t blame him. If it’s one of those dreams he’s always had then he’s probably on that “by any means necessary” trip right now… But a little humbleness and patience would’ve probably got him there as well… Ask me do I feel he would’ve never won a championship with the Cavs and my answer would be a resounding “Hell No!”

He’s 25 and got his health and his A-game. He also had a city willing to bend over backwards for him… His day would’ve came with the Cavs

I wonder if it had to do with his teammates smashing his moms!?!!

If you’re a rich young man in America it makes absolutley no sense to get married.

I’d go the Derek Jeter route.

Never underestimate the skill of a woman. She has been able to hold her position this long. Why they are unmarried still a mystery yes, however, I got a feeling lil Miss Savannah has more than a couple tricks up her sleeve to ensure she she becomes a permanent long term fixture. Do not be surprised if come playoff time, she is slimmer and stunting with a ring on.

@ Tg
R you serious?
# 1 in the NFL–> Epic Fail.
Try Again Dumb Ass.

Ya’ll not to stop hating on Lebron and Savannah’s relationship. I don’t see them dictating how ya’ll haters should live ya’ll low lives with ya’ll miserable asses.

Lebron keep your girl! She has been there from beginning to end and those saying that she is ugly or he should leave her you are what’s wrong with society. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she is pretty. She might not be a model but she can dress it up….everybody has a bad day. She’s a mother of two and looks fine so stop hating on her. Everybody isn’t meant to be modelesque all the time.

By0tchazznezz called out by MJ.

Naaaaa, you prolly bore the chit outta me…lol

He also acknowledged that times have changed and he understands LeBron’s reasons for doing what he did. Not everybody wants to tough it out for 7-13 years with a LOSING TEAM with the hopes of one day getting a ring. Not everyone has the competive drive like Jordan either. Matter of fact the only person who has that same killer instinct and competitive drive is Kobe – but I don’t feel Kobe is as talented as LeBron. If LeBron had that killer instinct he’d have 7 rings right now!

It kills me how the likes of Charles Barkley and other losers (losers as in never won a ring) are really trashing LeBron over his decision to go to a team where his chances of winning a ring are better! Just because they spent their entire careers with losing teams who could never achieve the ultimate goal of winning a ring doesn’t mean EVERYONE should do the same! So what he’s 25 and other players didn’t go to other teams until they were in their 30′s (like Alonzo & Karl Malone)!!!!

Who wants to wait till their old and broken down to go chase a ring? I don’t blame LeBron for making his move NOW! Those players back in the day let their loyalty to a team prevent them from getting a ring (except for Alonzo). Since when is moving on to BETTER YOURSELF a bad thing? People do get tired of doing things by themselves. Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas – they are all RARE nowadays. They don’t make them like them anymore and the times have definitely changed. I don’t like HOW LeBron went about announcing hsi decision but I LOVE his decision and I’m glad he’s moving on from Cleveland. They couldn’t offer him anything and the owner knows it, the fans know it and HE KNEW IT!

_______________________________________________________

LeBron is overrated and let’s see if he has more talent than Kobe after six more seasons in the league since Kobe has been in the league for six more seasons. Over that amount of time anyone would lose some of that explosiveness. At the same age Kobe already several championships, scoring title a slam dunk title, etc.

I think the argument LeBron is that:
HE ISN’T BEING A COMPETITOR!!

At least TRY to win it on your own. Barkely may not have one any but at least he was competitive enough to TRY until he was physically incapable of doing it. If Barkely teamed up with another H.O.F. player in his prime their no doubt he would won a title. Hell, with a pack of scrubs in ’93 he won the M.V.P., more games than Jordan and came within two games of the championship OVER JORDAN.

LeBron couldn’t even win a game in the Finals with a pack of scrubs AND he gave up. HE’S the loser.

Kobe wanted to leave LA until they got Pao Gasol.

Charles Barkley wanted to play with Hakeem and Clyde Drexler when he got the chance even though this was at the end of all of their careers

Boston and LA are super teams. You have to build a super team to beat a super team. Jordan couldn’t beat the teams he beat without having Scottie or Rodman. They would have NEVER beat Boston or LA. He’s great but he couldn’t do it by himself. Why does LeBron have to suffer with a losing team and not have the help that these other WINNING teams have?

I have to agree with MJ but we still don’t know what could happen.

These men are stupid anyway for getting married. I’ll admit that much. They should just stay single. Because no one is entitled to hurting someone just because they are rich and famous. Karma is a witch and she doesn’t care if you are rich and famous. Just look at what happened to Magic Johnson.

He’s great but he couldn’t do it by himself. Why does LeBron have to suffer with a losing team and not have the help that these other WINNING teams have?”
______________________________________________________

None of this is true.

Kobe DID NOT want to leave L.A. until they got Pau. He resigned with the Lakers several times. This whole “demanded” a trade thing came about after the Lakers didn’t trade for Jason Kidd. THE VERY SAME DAY HE STATED THAT HE DIDN’T MEAN IT AND WANTED TO STAY WITH THE LAKERS ON STEPHEN A. SMITH’S SHOW! You can look it up. When the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol they still had the best record in the Western Conference with Kwame “Worst player in NBA histroy” Brown at Center.

Barkley was TRADED to the Rockets after a falling out with the Jerry Colangelo, the owner fo the Suns. He didn’t sign there as a free agent.

@ Man I just don’t care:

So losing for 7 years isn’t being a competitor??? Let’s get real here! And yes he did give up at the end of the season but when you find out your mom is banging your teammate and the whole team knows, including the coach and I’m sure the owner – and you find this out right before the game – wouldn’t you be just a tad pissed that this was kept from you? Don’t you think that bit of news would affect your game? I would’ve given up too!

You’re not a Lebron fan and that’s fine but please be realistic about the situation! LeBron is not Jordan and he’s not Barkley and he’s not Bird. This is a whole new generation and for them to keep comparing him or anyone else that’s playing now to them isn’t fair. The players are different and the competition is different and their mindsets are different.

LeBron is overrated? Wow. He’s a better defender than Kobe HANDS DOWN, he had to do EVERYTHING for his team – handle the ball, defend, rebound. Kobe has Pao and a roster full of other capable help. When Kobe didn’t have Pao THEY LOST! Kobe got fed up and frustrated!!! Was he not being a competitor for wanting help?? LeBron wanted and needed help. For 7 years he had NO ONE and yet he’s being accused of not being a competitor. Wow.

Jordan flourished when he got Scottie. They were unstoppable when they got Rodman. There are countless other examples like them. Every championship team has more than one HOF on their team. You show me a team where one person won BY THEMSELVES with no help and I’ll leave this argument alone.

AROUND THE WAY BABY MAMA?

God blessed them and said unto them. be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.

She is not just a round the way baby mama. She is a blessed woman!!

@Tragic Mulatto i agree with you. Only dude that was smart about it was Derek Jeter. Dude is look at like the golden boy of the biggest market there is NYC. As soon as a chic started bringing his game down(Mariah) he got rid of her and kept it moving.

Man I dont care

Because you had my name in your mouth, that’s why i said i wasn’t talking to you. and oj simpson didn’t get convicted of killing anyone, doesn’t mean he is innocent. Get off Kobes nuts already, damn.

You know what one of the following two things are going to happen. Either A they win championships and shut everyone’s mouth. Or B it becomes an epic fail with all that talent on one team. Too many men wanting to be the lead. I hope it is option A for them. Plus that would be a good game against Kobe!

MJ spoke THE TRUTH! LeBron should have had guys wanting to come to Cleveland to play on HIS team,not the other way around.Jordan was the Bulls,proof positive was when he was gone,they won NOTHING!!!! All of you uninformed folks,talking that nonsense need to stop! Jordan would have taken any of the top tier teams to a title in his day,because he was a COMPETITOR! Dude wanted to win so bad ,it was like a sickness with him. LeBron,Bosh and Wade are not like that.That is what has always separated Jordan and Bill Russell (11 Titles) from every other player,who dares to compare themselves to them. It’s one thing to hook up with 2 other superstars and say you want a title,but Jordan and Russell would rather play against and BEAT those guys,than play with them. Jordan was about winning. It was ALL he cared about. He wanted to beat everybody,it didn’t matter if you were his best friend or worst enemy. That man was a BEAST when it came to competition. Nobody in the NBA has an ounce of that in them,not Kobe,Not LeBron,none of them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOW!!!! WHERE are you getting your information??? Kobe was ready to leave LA because PHOENIX was the number one seed AFTER SHAQ LEFT and PHOENIX kept knocking LA out of the playoffs!

LA could barely win 40 games with Kwame and they NEVER had the best record – it was Phoenix followed by SAN ANTONIO!! LA could never win a playoff series against Phoenix because Phoenix kept ripping them a new one, that’s why when LA beat Phoenix this past year it was called “The revenge series!”

Kobe was ready to leave LA and he was serious about it because the trade almost went down with Chicago but he decided to stay with LA because Chicago would have had to give up their entire roster to get him and Kobe said he might as well stay in LA if Chicago had to trade away all their talent for him!!! All Kobe had to do was say the word he would have been a BULL!!!!

Of course he tried to save face on Stephen A. Smith’s show by saying he didn’t mean it! Stephen A. knew Kobe was lying just like we all knew he was lying. He wanted OUT of LA!!!

I’m bout on Kobe’s nuts as much as you on LeBron’s pig’s clit!

I have always loved Jordan for his game but I really think he is threatened by LeBron. He knows LeBron is going to challange his legacy…..Kobe is not going to do it, so he never has anything but good to say about it him. But it just seems strange that at every turn Michael is always talking sideways about LeBron. I don’t know if something happened between them behind closed doors or what, but he never has anything nice to say….But the fact of the matter is, his words or how he feels is not going to effect this man’s future….nor will it effect his numbers and how every year he plays, they will only get closer to Jordan’s….. I think that is the real reason for all of this girl like mud slinging Jordan is doing….

@super goon one

I agree!!! stick with your own.

Ok so Kwame was gone by then! You said Kobe had the best record with Kwame on the team! Of course they had the best record when Pao came – and they barely made that because Chris Paul was on their heels! If Chris Paul had the record that year he would have gotten the MVP instead of Kobe!!!!

It’s Lebron’s life and his choice, so what anyone else has to say about it means nothing. The sooner people realize that fact the better. This conversation is done, let it go.

@2dimplz-for 7 years.It was like Micheal had no one.The Bulls got their heads kicked in by the Detroit Piston bad boy defense,87,88,and 90.Pippen played like a punk.Remember when Rodman owned him in the playoffs,or have you forgotten the famous migrane and Horace having nervous breakdowns.Micheal still did,nt abandon his team,nor did he bytch up like Lebron did.Micheals game was always great.It just took getting his head kicked in by great teams,and patience to overcome the Pistons(sweep),and Lakers in 91.Flourished when Pippen came?Are you smoking crack.Micheal scored 61 points in 1986 on a World champion Boston Celtic team as a rookie,with a bunch of crack heads playing alone side of him.He took that team to the playoffs.Rodman did,nt sign with the Bulls until 96,by then Micheal had 3 championships,and his legacy was already sealed.You talk about somebody sleeping with his mom?So, what.Micheal had to deal with somebody killing his father.Just think if he never retired.He would have won 8 in a row.

I agree. The fact that Kobe played on balanced team early in his career meant he was never given the oppurtunity to score like Jordan so he doesn’t have a realistic chance to surpass Jordan’s career achievements.

But Jordan truly treasures the status as the greatest. If LeBron continued his individual numbers and won some rings he would have surpassed Jordan.

I agree completely.

No, you aren’t understanding what I’m saying.

Through about half way through the season, the Lakers WITH KWAME BROWN, had the BEST record in the West! Even before Pau came there they were Number 1. Plus, RIGHT after the trade for Pau Andrew Byum blew his knee out AND Pau twisted his ankle and the Lakers were STILL number 1!

Chris Paul is my third favorite player and even if he would have finished with a better record Kobe deserved it because that team stayed Number one with him throughout trades and injuries.

_______________________________________________That is hands down,the single most RIDICULOUS thing i have ever read! What threat to Jordan’s legacy is LeBron? people are still wearing Jordan’s shoes and he hasn’t played since LeBron was in High School! Jordan played in an era of GREAT PLAYERS while LeBron plays in an era where guys play one year of college and come into the NBA with no understanding whatsoever of how to play the game. This current crop of NBA players,is the weakest in the History of The Sport. They are outstanding Athletes,but they have no clue of how to play the game. They can’t shoot,pass or defend,but they make a few fancy dunks and people think they can play. That’s a Joke. Jordan,Bird,Magic in their prime would DESTROY any of today’s players.

@ As the world turns

I agree with you a 100 Percent. I could not have not said it any better. People feel a need to tear down other people in order to make themselves feel relevant.

U black men are confused. These women on this site have told u time and time again that black men prefer fat out of shape women and its not important how her hair is or what she wearing out in public. When will you all learn that they know more about black men than black men know about black men.

Women should be able to be who they are without having to conform for everyday beauty standards. But I understand that in Savannah’s case she’s not living an average life and she needs to step it up or else she’ll end up on basketball wife’s like the rest of the unmarried ex girlfriends, crying to Shaunie.

UHHHHH!! Micheal Jorden is Very,Very, Dark Skinned and so D*mn Ugly. Wow thes uncle toms are JET Black & Gay!!

@2dimplz.It does,nt matter what Kobe was about to do,or what he thought.The point is that he is a 2 time defending back-2-back champ out here in Southern Cal,and if Chris Paul had won the regular season MVP-so what.The real MVP shines in the real season-the playoffs.Kobe is the only player in this era that can be mentioned with Micheal.What that owner said about Lebron was true.He is a quitter.It don,t matter if his mom was gangbanged by the whole team.You still got to man up.Kobe almost lost everything in 04.His wife,his career,potential prison time,and still had the mental toughness to win games in the playoffs,after going to court in Denver on the same days.Lebron does,nt have the mental toughness like Kobe,or Micheal.Dwayne wade does,and for that-He will be the Pippen to wade

FYI – Kareem – NOT MJ – is the G.O.A.T!! Check the STATS. Ya’ll look at things on the 1st level. Start looking and discerning on a deeper level. MJ was great but not the greatest by the most objective of measures – STATS! MJ was hyped by the media and like lap dogs ppl buy in. Dont beleive everything you see and hear. BTW I am NOT a Lakers fan.

@ Tiny T:

Are you serious? Cleveland was a good team? HOW and WHERE? WITH WHOM? LeBron did everything! Mo Williams? DeLonte West? Antwan Jamison? Shaq? ALL GARBAGE! LeBron got them to the finals – he had to do everything because these niccas always CHOKED when it counted!!!

During the regular season just about any team can win 50+ games. The POST SEASON is when the wins count the most and that’s also when teams get EXPOSED! Clevelad always got exposed because everyone knew who the best player was – LeBron. They knew if they double and tripled teamed him the Cavs were basically shut down. His mediocre supporting cast never came through for him. At least not when it counted.

I don’t see this as taking the easy way out. Why should any person continue to struggle with a losing team? What does that prove? I still don’t understand why this is such a horrible thing for LeBron to do when other super teams have been created throughout history, and not just in basketball? Did people cry foul when Magic, Kareem, and Worthy all played on the same team? Come on now!!!!

@Man I’m so stupid

You haven’t corrected me because I still stand behind everything I said. You think because you sit behind a computer all day, that gives some kind of a authority over other people? That is the so pathetic!

Just Be Happy For Labron and Dawayne When They Win Against Kobe’s Downlow asz.

Team Kobe, where you at?? LeBrick aka LeBum aka LeB!t.c.h will never win a ring..

Dang I wonder how many people on here would have stayed in Cleveland THEMSELVES if it were THEM o_O

LeBron James was a FREE agent, allowing him to sign to any team that he wanted. As far as loyalty, he was trying to beg and plead with Bosh to join him in Cleveland for MONTHS, its funny how no one wants to report that part though.

He gave that organization 7 good years of his young career and does not owe the city of Cleveland a thing.

As far as Jordan, I wonder what HE would do if he didnt have a PIPPEN to back him up and play with. Its just another case of Jordan trying to stay relevant in the media.

-Kobe had Shaq while they were BOTH in their primes. (and now he has Gasol)
-Jordan had PIPPEN.
-And in 7 years, LeBron has had…….

-_-

He gave Cleveland 7 years to bring him his “Gasol” or “Pippen” and obviously he wasnt bulls.hi.tin when he said he wants to win. lol

Tragic Mulatto there is nothing wrong with your picture, it’s a nice one.Anywho,I always tell people not to go back and forth with hateful people,because it’s not worth it.You made some very good points mulatto and like you said, it’s your opinion and your entitled to it. I will never understand why some people go on these gossip blogs and insult people just because they don’t agree with you.As The World Turns, everytime someone says something thats not positive,it’s not always HATING! Sometimes THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH! Why are you insulting everyone and being so condescending(maybe you’re the one thats miserable, hmmmm).I’m going to give you the respect that you haven’t given others. I don’t have to DEGRADE/INSULT others to make myself feel big. Some of the comments on here were just plain mean and completely off subject. I’m by no means perfect, but that’s just the way I was raised. Talk/Treat people the way you want to be treated. Enough said.

Quit beggin me to put a picture. I can see that you all fat and chit from your pic.

Now go on about your business in your ignorance. Dayum… witcho fat azz.

LBJ gets more passes at underachieving than a Bush or Kennedy. When true NBA legends of relevance challenges someone who calls themselves a king yet consistently comes up short where it counts (heart, character & leadership) there perceived as negative. MJ is a media guru known for playing the middle to a tee.

REAL NINJAH CHECK to silence the MJ envy echoes! How many pairs of Jordans or Lebrons (burgers or not) have you bought compared to one another? MJ wins hands down by atleast a 15 to 2 ratio for mines & I’m from Ohio.

Fact: During every championship team the bulls had. They had three all stars and great supporting players ie three point specialist, defensive specialist, and rebounders. Go back and check it out. Who did Lebron have? Let’s be honest their’s no one on Clevelands team that could start on Boston, Orlando, Lakers, Denver, Bulls………….. just about every team. What player from Cleveland could go and start on most NBA teams, None. Everyone is looking at Lebron and they should be looking at the owner and front office. You all will see when the season starts and they only win 10 game for the year.

@serene
MJ is wrong and need to STFU- LeBron wasn’t put in a position to be a leader on the Cavs. I’m quite sure in 7 years he told Dan he wanted some help. LeBron realized long ago he couldn’t win rings by himself. I’m sure the other players know what kind of leadership the CAVS have to offer that’s why they didn’t come to Cleveland. MJ himself should know what kind of leadership they have in Miami- PAT Riley HELLO?!!!!

@ Keep It Real

I cosign that 100%. Well said.

This topic is HOT..just came back from lunch and I see they tryin to gang up on ya 2dimplz. I see you lettin em know the REAL TRUTH, JORDAN NEEDED PIPPEN…PERIOD. And then ROMELLO says that jordan did almost everything by himself…where on earth do you get that logic bruh ??. Pippen was a premeir scorer and was one of the league leaders in steals for years. Yeah, Jordan WAS amazin, but this guy Lebron is just startin. He has 2 MVP’s already, even with the scrubs he has as his supportin cast. Now, Pippen may have choked a few times but, he was far better than those guys you previously mentioned.

@ Keep It Real..

Who the hell was Rodman and Pippen Before the bulls? They were not big names like Wade or Bosh. They were not the Leaders of the team they were on previous to the Bulls. But I do have a good question. How do you go from being a Leader of a Team such as the Cavs( Obviously the biggest name to play for them since Mark Price) to taking a backseat or second on Miami. That’s a step down. That is like a premature Malone Payton to the Lakers..and Please do not mention the Boston Big 3 cause that was a Trade by higher powers, not them…love the message we send kids today about hard work.

@BEREAL

Ya mommaz a mutt, and both ya grandmas, and they moms prolly too. You a mutt also biiiiiaaaaaaattttttttcccccccccccchhhhhhhhh N.I.GG.A!

Well I don’t recall Jordan,Byrd and Magic being good friends nor were their contracts up at the same time. And if Jordan didn’t have his support group in Chi, who knows what he would have done. it’s so easy for him to say what he wouldn’t have done because he wasn’t put in the situation. So I don’t put 2 cents to his comments.

bahaha Man I JUST DONT CARE sounds like suffers from Baby Bobby Di*k syndrome….all the hating on big chicks…now yall know he doesnt have a pic up cus he prob weighs over 300 lbs himself…prb has to pick up his gut to find it and take a piss….

@ Tragic- you are beautiful and dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

Jordan’s comments are deep! He bought it right back to true competitiveness and the supposed heart of a true warrior!

LeBron is to Basketball what studio gangster is to hip-hop!

Michael was great, but even he is not as
great as all of his groupies say that
he was, or after playing for 15 years
in the NBA. He would have had 15
championships rings. Nobody does
it all by themselves not even Michael.
And just for the record, I believe that
Magic was the greatest of all time.

MJ and Sir Charles have the right to their own views just the same as we do for commenting on this. In “MY” opinion, they’re exactly right. Lebron is desperate and his desparation will only lead to even less success. Everyone knows MJ had Pippen and the crew to help him win but do any of them even come close to being on DWade’s level? NO So that’s a poor comparison. Lebron made his bed and he shall lie in it. He let the green grass on the otherside fool him and he’ll pay for it. Am I disappointed with his move? Heck no because I’m not a fan of him. But I do believe he could have handled the situation a lot better. He could have potentially received a 3rd MVP if he had stayed in Cleveland but now he’ll never get another one. Will Miami make it to the Eastern Conference Championship? NO, it was nothing more than a publicity stunt. Miami will not win any rings in the next year, 2 years, 3 years, etc. The West is the best and that’s point blank.Kobe will get at a minimum, 3 more rings! I can guarantee it! Here’s the newsflash for everyone though, OK City will win a championship within the next 2 years, just wait and see. We’ve all forgot about the actual competitive teams that all the great teams have to face.

All that could be true but she still FAT! I noticed you didn’t mention that she wasn’t fat. You know why, because you would be lying.

You know she’s fat and therefore you didn’t dispute it. Call me whatever you like, don’t change the fact that she is obese.

She even admits as much.

Savannah reminds me of Jennifer Hudson

To say LBJ had no one is BOO BOO & solidifies my logic dude gets more passes for underachieving than a Kennedy or Bush. You dont secure homecourt advantage thru out the conference or whole playoffs not having anyone. Stop feeding into LBJ’s soft-ish prima donna swag cause its really making Ohio dudes look soft. The fact remains he was the face & leader of underachieving playoff teams with homecourt advantage. The 2 time defending MVP & face of a NBA franchise in his home state.

He could’ve signed with the bulls, knicks or back with the heat! The fact remains the Cavs werent weak, he wasnt ala KG with the T-Wolves (see homecourt adv) & when you call yourself a KING with the physical skill sets to match you dont follow no one. I understand the IT FACTOR but I WITNESSED 1st hand due to state homerism becoming a bandwagon Cavs fan this dude is not worthy of the Kennedy or Bush like passes. 1st it was the spurs ole squad, then it was supaman & KG just punked him badly the whole series (cursing him to his face) then gave him judas like advice to help send him along his way.

Kobe is on the clock (unquestioned face of the league) with Durantula on deck to receive the torch. LBJ…..he’s basically just young & rich but needs the playoffs to start asap every year to justify selling his brand short to be deemed a champ.

It was Lebron’s decision to go to Miami. BUSINESS baby that’s just the way it is! Wish Lebron the best. FYI – Michael Jordan didn’t you start the price war with $100+ sneakers, in the later 80′s early 90′s was that not “BUSINESS”…. baby!

TRUE, TRUE, hE CRUSHED BARKLEY BY SAYING BARKLEY NEVER GOT A RING CAUSE HE DIDN’T STICK WITH ONE TEAM (PHILLY, PHOENIX, HOUSTON INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR TALENT AN SHOWING LOYALTY TO YOUR TEAM AND FANS, BUT TODAY IT’SALL ABOUTR THE MONEY AND FAME NOT LOYALTY ON BOTH SIDES !!!

Wow…. Come on MJ! They used you as a pawn. WHY ARE THE OLDER BLACK MALES ELITES QUICK TO CHASTISE the YOUNG Blacks males.

———————————————
Hate to break it to you,but LeBron is an OLD 25! His window is closing on him rather quickly. He is facing the same problems as all of the straight outta High School Players. By the time he reaches 30,he will have put in 12 YEARS! Throw in Playoffs,Olympics and World Championships and that is a TON of Basketball. Kobe is only 31 and he’s starting to feel it just like K.G. With the demands that are put on the players of today,you will not see too many of these guys,performing at a high level well into their 30′s anymore.The NBA,Olympic and World Championship schedules are chewing up a lot of the younger players of this era and robbing them of some quality years down the line. Kobe has maybe 2 to 3 years left at his current level,and you can already see how K.G’s game has started to diminish. LeBron is 6-8 260,you don’t think his knees are taking a beating after 7 YEARS in this league? The Players who put in 2 years or more of college,are better suited for the longer haul,due to less wear and tear on their bodies. Lebron has about 4 to 5 years at his current level and then you will see his game change as well as decline by the time he hits the wall at 30.

@TRAGIC
“hahaha, you STILL thinking about me? Why you so obsessed with me? You just can’t keep my name out of your mouth no matter how hard you try…po thang! I have been laughing my ***** off all day, thanks to you! Thanks for putting a smile on my lovely face!”

THAT time I was talkin to “Brown Eyes” or whatever that posters name was. I’m glad that you have been laughing and smiling because that burns calories so I’m glad I can help with your goal.

I support my sistas bein healthy and chit!

Savannah’s the real deal. She was with him before he self proclaimed himself “King James”.
She loved him for who he is everything else is just gravy. If more celebrities and athletes took that advice they would end up like Denzel not Tiger.

For those talking ish about Jordan, I will chalk it up to under 25 years of age. If that’s not the case don’t brag about it just makes you ignorant.

@ RazeKane:

It’s all good & thanks for the support! Yeah they tried to gang up on me but at the end of the day it is what it is and the facts remain whether they want to admit to them or not. You can’t argue facts and I presented FACTS.

@ Hannibals dad:

There is no such thing as loyalty in sports. At the end of the day it’s about everybody looking out for themselves and doing what’s in their best interests. The owners know this and the players know this. There was nothing wrong with LeBron doing what he did for himself and his family and his career. People are putting their personal prefernces and opinions on him when their lives were totally different from his. Jordan and Barkley and the other naysayers who feel LeBron should have stayed in Cleveland and continued to SUFFER didn’t go through what LeBron has gone through. Jordan had his Robin in Pippen. He had his premiere rebounder in Rodman. He had 3 point shooters in Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Paxon, BJ Armstrong, etc. Lebron had mediocre hit or miss niccas like Mo Williams and DeLonte West.

I think people are hating on LeBron because he made a very wise BUSINESS decision and CAREER decision and they should be celebrating this young man. For the 100th time I did not like the way he announced his decision, that was a very bad move on his part and whoever his advisors are, but the overall decision is a very good one to me.

I think it’s funny that people are saying he took the easy way out and he’s weak because of this. Show me a player who won a championship BY HIMSELF, who grinded it out and stuck with his team for 7+ years and singlehandedly won? People keep pointing to the fact that LeBron’s team won so many games during the regular season, he was the league MVP two years in a row but again winning regular season games means NOTHING and it’s fairly easy to do when everyone is playing lazy! The POST SEASON is what counts, the post season is when people finally bring their “A” games because they are playing for the championship! LeBron won those games literally by himself. Where was his teammates in the post season? They CHOKED! People say LeBron quit – what did his supporting cast do? Did they come through for him like he came through for THEM helping them to win all those games???? HELL NO!!!!!!!!

In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys.”

BTW those talking like Jordan, Brid and Magic had a supporting role. They had to, the game of basketball was completely different than the way it is now. The way it was played back in the day was real. Never would they have given these spoiled, self indulgent players the contracts they are getting now or allow players to build mega teams. There was an integrity to the game. Now, it’s become another captalist venture. The bookies in Vegas basically run the NBA.

Lebron, Kobe, Bosh, Wade, Paul etc. could have never competed at the same level as Jordan, Magic and Bird.

Silly Wabbits

@ Bey-Nonsense:

I totally agree with you!!!!!

@2 DIMPLEZ

No one is faulting LeBron for leaving…per se. They are faulting him for not taking on the challenge of LEADING a team. This is going to be D. Wade’s team. Period.

If LeBron went to Chicago, New York, basically anywhere but the Lakers (with Kobe) or the Heat (with D. Wade) no one would have faulted him.

Savannah got pregnant by Lebron when she was in High School and everyone KNEW Lebron was going to be a rich..Ball player..So we can’t say she knew him before the money

Michael Jordan needs to sit his charcoal, homely white woman lovin’a** down and let Lebron make his own decisions. Michael Jordan is just sickening, he seems like his personality is as ugly as his face. Kobe is a much better player than Michael Jordan ever was, unfortunately Kobe seems just as ignorant and arrogant as Michael Jordan is.

@ Man
He led the team for 7 yrs. CAVS mgmt should have taken the challenge. CAVS mgmt thought LeBron would stay because he was at the salary cap and be pacified. I’m glad he left.

@ Cammie
It don’t matter at this point because she seems to be about her kids and maintaining her relationship. I agree with another poster that said it’s good that she seems that she doesn’t like the limelight. If he get w/ these sensational tackhead groupies, no telling what he’ll get. (STD’s, paternity suits, forever spending money, etc)

YO !

MJ did it his way, and I am sure there was criticism and now it’s LeBron’s turn. All of this he should have stayed, he should of done this or we did it like that back in the day is all a bunch of BS. Do it the way you see fit LeBron, blaze your own trail….

True but things must change. Forget Mikes legacy Lebron is building his legacy. Jordan last comeback with the bulls is allot of the reason for these outragous salaries if u remember. Lebron may not have the “i carried a entire team on my back” attached to him. But Mike was and is a horrible father, husband and person. Lebron seems to have all that in line. So be like Lebron “except for the tv special and all the free agent clowing”. Do u Lebron.

And one last note; Go back and pay all the old timers who were cheated by the NBA. Look at the money these horrible players are getting. Go take care of the guys who made the league.

There’ll never be another Michael Jordan and there’ll never be another Lebron James.

Jordan had Pippen
Magic had Kareem
Kobe has Pau
Larry had Kevin
D-Wade had Shaq
Timmy has Manu AND Tony
Hakeem had Drexler
and the list goes on and on and on…..

Barkley had nobody and where did it get him????

Furthermore, who did Lebron have in Cleveland?

I rest my case!

King James looks so fqable in those pics. *wants* as far as the old dudes…. Barkley always been a 8ter and Jordon is a cheap man who never did anything for anyone and a disgusting fornicator. NEXT!

I respect Jordan’s opinion, he’s one of the greatest in the game. You dont have a press conference to announce you’re gonna stay with the same team, that was a flashy move so that’why Lebron is getting so much backlash. It’s up to this Miami team to win, otherwise history will judge his choice as a complete failure.

@ Man I just Don’t care:

LeBron will still be leading a team to a championship and this time he’ll be surrounded by other great players! What is so wrong with that? Yeah he could have gone to Chicago and elsewhere, but I’m glad he chose Miami. Chicago is going to be a team to be reckoned with anyway. The draw back I see in him going to Chicago is the constant Jordan comparisons.

And I’m not buying the whole “If he had went anywhere but Miami or LA no one would fault him.” YES THEY WOULD!!!! They are trashing him for leaving Cleveland to begin with so regardless of where he went he’d still get the venom from the media and fans! They wanted this man to stay in Cleveland and lead a losing team to more LOSING! Like I said before once people stop being all up in their feelings they’ll see that this was a good move.

If Jordan never got Scottie and continued to lose would he have stayed in Chicago? If he never had Kerr, Paxon, BJ Armstrong, Rodman, and continued to lose would he have stayed or would he have explored his options elsewhere? It’s easy for him to sit back and say what he would and would not have done as if he did it by himself! He didn’t do it by himself – he had HELP! LeBron had NOTHING in Cleveland but yet he’s expected to stick it out and keep losing? NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE OR PLAY IN CLEVELAND – it’s just that simple!!!!

I agree, he was going to recieve flack no matter where he went.

But let’s stop with the “he had no one” talk. This team had the best record TWO YEARS in a row. LeBron isn’t going to get the best record TWO years in a row going one on five for 82 games, TWO years in a row. That is a SOLID team that is/was one piece away.

Lebron took a WORSE TEAM to the finals in 2007! LeBron needs to take responsiblity for failing as leading this team and stop placing the blame.

He will be a follower in Miami, apparently that’s what he has always wanted to be.

Too bad it’s takes all of them for one Kobe..SHM while LMAO

TOO,THE N.B.A,–LEGENDS,,SIR,MICHEAL-JORDAN,&MR,M.V.P,SIR,LEBRON JMAES,-HAPPY,SUMMER,GTREETINGS TO ,YOU,BOTH….

CO-SIGN!!!

I am not mad at him for leaving Cleveland, I believe his move to join up with Wade and Bosh said alot about his character and his ability to stand alone own his own team

Stop putting these dark skinned jet black men on these sight there ugly as*es are fugly.

Also haven’t you notice it’s the very dark skinned black men on these blogs that are dowing there own race and all because dark skinned black men hate there dark butts.

That’s why they turn into uncles toms and try to talk like white men. I laugh at dark skinned black men.

Savannah is a naturally pretty girl! No plastic and no hair weave. None of those plastic NBA wives and girlfriends looks that great naturally!

LeBron has a nice body! Those tats looks good on him!

How about “No comment” Mr James is entitled to choose where he wants to play; it is called self-determination and all humans should strive for it. Even if it can be difficult to achieve.
Mr Jordan had his time in the maedia; he should
graciously let the new stars shine.

____________________________________________________

He did standalone on his team 7 years too long, with no rings to show for it. What Lebron really shows is fortitude, vision, guts and of course enough common sense to know when its time to move on. That team had run its course and he wasn’t about to wait around any longer and tear down his body anymore. Wise move young man.

agree w/nyc gal and he’s not ugly what lady wouldn’t want to have him even if he didn’t have money?
@clarke kent 3000
What you and the whole city of Cleveland fail to realize is LeBron was not the leader Dan and the CAVS mgmt are the leader. Again the CAVS mgmt is not committed to winning and LeBron is. It’s up to the CAVS mgmt to bring players and develop their team not LeBron, Jordan, or Charles Barkely.

Whoever said if he went anywhere except Miami and LA he would have been okay is not true. If he would not have gone to Miami he would be in the same situation as he was in Cleveland- NO HELP and S.O.L.!!! Waiting for the team mgmt to decide what they want to do- I’m so glad he left.

wow she need to stop eating… getting big.

LeBron would have benefited from a little time in college ball. Yes, he is a good player of the game however he lacks that leadership quality that makes Jordan and his era of ballers great.

LeBron is ‘country’naive. Which is a great life characteristic (honest to a fault) but s u c ks when it comes to doing business, because unless you truly understand all the ramifications of the transaction you will get burned as business is about the pursuit of money – not honesty.

LeBron had good intentions in airing his decision because his ‘country’mind told him he was helping to benefit children. His fault was not in leaving, for who are we to determine what is in his best interest with our judgmental selves, but how he left.

Instead of Mike J and big mouth Charles (who like a lot of athletes changed teams to try and win a ring) speaking out against LeBrons decision, maybe they should have called a brother beforehand and at the very least – shared some knowledge.

But for some reason my people won’t share knowledge -just insults – put downs. Shame on all of us for our self-centered selves!

This is for jumpoff who was Rodman before the bulls? Rodman was a bad boy u better look it up in M.J. didn’t do it by his self he had a team around him.

All of the people that keep critiquing LeBron’s significant other are REALLY getting on my nerves! “Give it a year and he’ll be married to some bangin’Miami chick” UgH! Have any of you ever thought that maybe he genuinely LOVES this woman!? Why do you all think that she should have to be “glammed up” every second of the day?! Why is she not allowed to be a regular person? Because the father of her children is arguably the best player in the NBA (don’t shoot me Kobe fans, I don’t know too much about NBA, not my thing…NCAA, all over it!) Like, I really want to know why some of you think that she owes you something and why some of you think that she shouldn’t be allowed to just be who she is?… I personally think that she a beautiful woman and mother, and no I don’t know her personally, am not related to her or anyone in their family, nor have I ever seen her in person. Just sick of hearing all of you “perfect” people throwing shade for no damn reason! ****Off my soapbox****

Well perhaps Mr. Jordan should just let his legacy speak for itself. I mean one could bring up his gambling, his mid-life crisis and the need to date much younger (dare I say it) WHITE WOMEN, his failed attempt at major league baseball (sorry, but that’s a stain on baseball that should have never been) or his failed attempt to make a basketball comeback. Mr. Jordan, you showed us how class-less you were in your treatment of your wife. Do us a favor, continue with your “red” eyed partying and leave commentating to those who do it best. Oh and Mr. Jordan, is is true that you refused the Make a Wish Foundation’s request for a child??? Hmmmmm. yes dear, your definitely a pillar of your community.

tym out y is this still bein talked about he made up his made he cant take it bck… And mj wuld have left 2 if 1 of his team mates was f****ing his mom nd had a hall famer say evry1 new it except LBJ. the cavs want him to b loyal to him wen they werent loyal to him.nd wen yu really think out it he wuld have been in a losin sitution no matter wen he went. If hee went too the bulls ppl wuld say he’s fellowing behide mj…if he wuld have went to ny the wuld say he’s only bout his image…if he wuld have stay wit the cavs ppl wuld have said he only in it 4 the money..the heat was his best choice..nd as a REAL heat fan im more then happy to welcome LBJ to DWADE team

Ya’ll bein kinda mean about ole’girl…the camera does add 10lbs…

I agree with mike…

As the world turns… Well said!!!

Of course Jordan wouldn’t have done what LeBron did, he was the only big name player back in the day playing for pennies compared to the other giants in the 80′s. Jordan made signed one of the worst contracts in the league he was only later able to renegotiate a new contract after all this air jordan mania happend. And Charles who??? I know fat Barkley isn’t talking smack about LeBron…..didn’t baby Huey jump ship too not once but twice….Phil to Phoe, Phoe to Hou….give me a break DO YOU LEBRON!

Oh Yes, there here the Dream Team is here. What 25 year old man, wouldnt want to live in Miami, FL? Miami is a great city if you can afford to live there. Leave LJ alone he is living his life and trying to win a ring!!

haha i cnt help but laugh at how ppl feel about his baby momma…like cause he n miami he suppose to leave her for one of the disease infected slores…in case yall didnt kno miami leads the country in aids!!!

@RAZE KANE PIPPEN DIDNT COME IN TILL 87-88 AND HE WASNT EVEN A STARTER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR. JORDAN WAS 5 YEARS IN BEFORE PIPPEN EVEN CAME GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT BOY

Michael Jordan would have done the same thing!

LeBron act like he got alot of B*******ness and that was a B**** move!

1.) That was goofy of Lebron to switch up like that cause it looked like a true copp out, not to mention when they swept the eastern conference year before last he was the man. When they lost to get in the championship. “He didn’t have any help” Lebron is overrated, and he may be very good, but he isn’t great. Greatness is measured just by how many times yoy win, its HOW you win.

2.) Why the love of his life’s looks is even relevent is just silly. She isn’t the talent, he is. Mind you, she’s GORGEOUS. Just because she’s full blooded black she’s supposed to be the baddest??? Or because she married to one of the top athletes he’s supposed to have the best looking wife money can buy??? Right. Its amazing that when men black or white marry outside of their race, the female can look like whatever. But when she’s black, she gotta be a five star.

3.) Jordan took the words directly from my thoughts. He’s absolutely correct. I don’t like Kobe Bryant at ALL and he’s a total crybaby, but you gotta respect the man’s game and the fact that he owns his title of the franchise player of his team. You think he’s gonna allow Carmelo Anthony or Dwight Howard to come “help” him out on his team? No. He wants to prove a point. That he can do it with complimentary players, with him leading the way. Lebron made a ***** move plain and simple.

4.) For the record. D.Wade’s former wife may have made herself look like a true crazy, but he for damn sure drove her to crazytown. You take a person in when they have nothing to their name, give them children and have them leave you when they get on top for a supermodel who ait put in no time and see what that feels like.

5.) 90% of the NBA, NFL, NHL, and NBL are monsters. If they are married to Beyonce looking like Flavor Flav. OF COURSE ITS THEIR MONEY. Duh.

6.) Kobe did not know Vanessa before he came into money. He knew her before she came into money:)

7.) Black men, it is definately smarter and safter to marry a white woman or anything outside of a black woman, because she’ll love you genuinly and would never dream of taking your money, even if it doesn’t work out. Just ask Tiger;)

Good points, but I really DISAGREE with #7. Elin and Tiger Woods divorce is almost final and she is getting 750 mill, now ask Tiger that!

Savannah got pregnant by Lebron when she was in High School and everyone KNEW Lebron was going to be a rich..Ball player..So we can’t say she knew him before the money
_______________________________________________@ Cammie
You are so right, Savannah wasn’t paying his ugly a** no attention until Akron start giving him his props, and he was with a girl before her and she broke it off because who comes up pregnant???
I know one thing while he ran to Miami I’m sick of him talking mess about going to get a ring for 7 years and still talking.

MJ doesn’t have any room to talk.

Look at the decisions he made!

By Marcel Mansour (Senior Analyst) on February 28, 2009

Why would the face of the league on the best team in the league who was known for his enormous competitive drive and his desire to be the best ever suddenly retire in the middle of his prime? Lets look at the facts.

In 1992, after winning his second championship, Jordan was called to testify in the criminal trial of James Bouler to explain why why Bouler, a convicted drug dealer, was in possession of a Jordan-signed personal check for $57,000.

First, Jordan claimed it was a business loan, but under oath he admitted that it was a payment for on gambling losses for a single weekend.

Then, in early 1993, San Diego businessman Richard Equinas revealed in his book Michael and Me: Our Gambling Addiction…My Cry for Help that he had won over $900,000 from Jordan in golf betting.

Around the same time, MJ was spotted in an Atlantic City casino in the early hours on the morning of Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the Bulls won their third championship, the NBA launched an investigation into Jordan’s gambling problems to check whether he had violated any league rules. Then, four months later Jordan stunned the world by suddenly retiring from professional basketball.

At the press conference when he was asked if he would ever return he said, ” Five years down the road, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back.”

Now why in the world would Jordan ever say if David Stern lets him back, then maybe he would come back when the reporter didn’t mention Stern’s name at all in his question?

Only days after Jordan announced his retirement, the league dropped its investigation, saying he did nothing wrong (I guess betting numerous amounts on sports isn’t wrong then).

Was there a secret agreement between Jordan and Stern where Stern told him to simply retire and create a distraction so that he wouldn’t face a suspension and have his huge marketable name stay clean?

The distraction occurred when Jordan then decided to play minor league baseball in the White Sox organization, even though he would’ve had trouble hitting a beach ball, yet alone a baseball. In 102 games with the Barons, Jordan had a .202 average along with 3 homers, 51 RBI, 30 stolen bases, 114 strikeouts, and a .555 OPS.

Also, in the much respected book Money Players Days and Nights Inside the New NBA by Armen Keteyian, it states that in 1993, the league had an interview with Richard Equinas during their investigation on Jordan’s gambling. He said that in March of 1992, he overheard a telephone conversation Jordan was having with an unknown person.

During the conversation, he heard Jordan talking about a betting line, “So you say the line is seven points.” The game MJ was talking about isn’t known, but the accusations are extremely serious as that means if Jordan was indeed betting on sports, he was breaking a sacred, unwritten rule for all professional athletes, as that is against the integrity of the game.

Personally, my opinion on this subject is that Jordan and David Stern had a secret meeting where Stern told Jordan to leave the game for a brief period to save himself, the league’s by far most marketable and popular player, embarrassment and scrutiny from a public suspension.

I also think it was done brilliantly by commissioner Stern as today most people don’t really know much of this theory as Jordan’s reputation is fantastic, even though he was a huge gambler and a questionable teammate and because Jordan came back less than two years late and won three more championships with the Bulls before retiring for a second time.

According to Deloris E. Jordan:

“In many ways to Michael, I’m a nobody,” the owner of no prestigious accomplishments, credentials or financial worth, who dares to challenge him about things that a “somebody” would never think of doing. Once or twice during heated exchanges, he referred to me as a nobody. Needless to say, my feelings were hurt.”

“For most of Michael’s childhood, it seemed that our father was somewhat indifferent to him. And although my parents vehemently denied it, they each had favorites among us and Michael never seemed to be a favorite of my father. When my two younger brothers fought among themselves, my father would often spank Michael instead of them.”

“During the early days of Michael’s NBA career, he confessed that it was my father’s early treatment of him and Daddy’s declaration of his worthlessness that became the driving force that motivated him to pursue and achieve success. Each accomplishment that he achieved was his battle cry for defeating my father’s negative opinions of him. And in the end, Daddy came to see just how wrong he as about Michael and together they were able to bridge the gap in their relationship.”

“Since Michael became a walking and talking conglomerate, it’s literally impossible these days to find any of the old jovial, sweet loving Michael and his transformation has puzzled many of our family members. My father insisted that I misunderstood him. My mother insisted that I was brow-beating him and that I was jealous of him.”

“By the time they were ready to acknowledge the change in him, he was already padlocking our mother out of the Michael Jordan Foundation office; closing bank accounts without her knowledge, resulting in her bouncing checks across the city of Chicago, banishing her from using his name for her personal use and sinking our brother Larry’s cologne manufacturing efforts.”

@HeavenHollywood

@raze kane wth are u talking about scottie pippen didnt come in with michael jordan scottie came in years later. talking about he would have left after 3 years it took jordan 7 years to win dumb ***** he didnt win till he got phil jackson
@RAZE KANE PIPPEN DIDNT COME IN TILL 87-88 AND HE WASNT EVEN A STARTER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR. JORDAN WAS 5 YEARS IN BEFORE PIPPEN EVEN CAME GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT BOY
____________________________________________________

I love to make cowards like “hollywood” look bad, especially posters, who wait till I’m sleeping to post their BS, this guy can’t confront me at the time I’m on the board (puzzy).
Now let me show you how inept you are as a fact finder..(here’s what I said)

“MJ need to stop foolin himself…he gotta realize if he didn’t have scotty pippen to play alongside him all those years, he would probably have left after the first three years on the bulls. I’m shocked lebron stayed as long as he did with that sorry azz team master Gilbert left him with”.

For one I never said that scotty came in with MJ, I mentioned WHEN they played alongside each other. Second..Scottie came in 3 years after jordan (87-88)
Jordan came in (84-85) SO THATS 3 YEARS WONDER BOY, NOT 5. Third..when I mention MJ would have left after 3 years if they didn’t start winning playoff games (if you take out your magnifying glass) you would notice that it doesn’t say by himself, it meant alongside Pippen. So foolish one before you start fact checking me, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT FIRST. Its been my pleasure to enlighten you, and next time try to clear your mind and think before you try to inform someone, when you’re not too bright to begin with…FOOL.

I dont think it was bashing it was an interview where the interview asked him what he thought and he answered honestly. It was just an opinion and everyone else that has a comment step on the court and win 6 rings in 8 years

Eh I can’t stand MJ or LeBron that being said of course MJ wouldn’t join Magic or Bird they weren’t in their prime but near the end of their careers(Magic of course we all know what happened). Regardless if LeBron wins titles this will all be forgotten its laughable had he stayed they would say he’s a wimp for doing so and doesn’t care about winning. Whatever.

Now his decision special was garbage and he should be called out for that.

Vanessa didn’t know Kobe before he was famous. Kobe was established by then not to mention he grew up with $$$ so its not like he came from nothing.

LeBron is so very ugly he will not get a ring he is a follower.

Okay…First of all half of yall,dont even know what yall talking about Michael Jordan is a legend and half of yall probaly own a pair of his shoes or have had at least one. So for yall to sit up here and disrespect a man who was asked HIS OPINON is ignorant people seem to always forget history and those who paved the way for others. Michael Jordan will always and will be the greatest basketball player ever. Michael Jordan gave his opinion remember HE WAS ASKED THE QUESTION NOT YOU!!!!
