Are you a fan of LeBron James?

[bugatti]

1. James loves to have fun. He's not a killer, like Michael Jordan. He's not a harping-on-the-court-coach, pain-in-the-rear like Kobe. He doesn't need to win like he needs his next breath, like Lance Armstrong. He is goofy and funny and whimsical. The fake camera shots, the dancing, the chalk. He was like that in high school and he's still like that. So why should anybody be surprised when he wants to play with his friends in a city that's 97 percent fun? The Miami Heat are the perfect fit for James. It's Dwyane Wade's team. Wade can be the killer, like he was while winning a ring in 2006. James will just dunk, swat layups and do his Kid n' Play impressions. You could see it in how much he loved the over-the-top bacchanalia the Heat put on for the Three Rise Men -- fireworks, fog, voguing down the catwalk. You may want him to be something else, but he's not. What are you going to do, sue?
   
2. Because he's such a kid, he clearly didn't think through making an announcement of this gravity. It was a cringe-fest. You deliver bad news personally, eye to eye, not on a stadium big screen. It was like breaking up with a girl using skywriting. Can the man not afford a publicist? What he needs to do now is try to fix it -- a full-page ad in The Cleveland Plain Dealer saying how he was wrong to embarrass so many people like that, how he will always be a Cleveland kid, and how grateful he was for all their support. He didn't deserve the vitriol Dan Gilbert gave him, but he deserved plenty of it.

:thumb: I like it.

 

 

People are trying to make Lebron be something he is not. They are wanting his intentions to be their intentions of what they want him to be in a NBA player. To like Lebron and to be a Lebron fan, you have to understand that he is Lebron and nobody else. He is a guy who loves to have fun, and he is a kid at heart. He is, also like I have said numerous times, the most complete player in basketball.

Physically, maybe. Not mentally.

Never had liked him but respect him as a player during the regular season when the game is not on the line.

Moderate fan just because him and Coach Cal have connections and he came to UK wearing UK colors. I am a larger fan of UK's than any individual player in any league.
