Him going to th eknicks was always a pipe dream. But yeah, the ad is BS. I act turn it off anytime is on, so i havent seen the whole thing. But we're supposed to be sorry for him. Please!! I hope he breaks a bone and can never play again. lol. I honestly have no probs w him going to Mia, but its the way he went about it. Him going to th eknicks was always a pipe dream.

I'm not the biggest NBA fan, but my thought process on The Talents to South Beach was "Wow, what an awful way to leave your fans behind." And while that thought has lingered with me, Lebron is no different from any other athlete who makes a professional move from one team to another. He's not special. He has a 0-1 record and no rings on his fingers. Stop trying to make this about whether or not you're a donkey. We concede the point. Now play basketball.
