Is anyone outside of Miami and outside of Lebron's immediate family rooting for the Heat?
Originally posted by sh76I understand that everyone in the state of Ohio has a warm spot for LeBron.

Originally posted by MoneyManMikeNo. and I get where you're going. I'm much more into College Basketball, but if I have a local team in the NBA Finals, I'll give it a gaze. Pat Riley really has done a lot for the community here and is well-liked. Who cares if Lebron wants to party on South Beach, for God's sake. Wouldn't you move to a team that at least gave you a chance to win it all?
Cleveland was your team last year, right?

Originally posted by shortcircuitYes, but Jordan stayed on his team and had it built around him.

to help out a little bit, but Jordan was the man to be sure.
Originally posted by sh76The Lakers added Wilt Chamberlin to an already solid cast of Elgin Baylor and Jerry West.

Lebron coordinated 3 stars going to the same place (that already has a recent title).
There's a difference.
Imagine if Jordan had signed with the Lakers to join Magic and Kareem just because he couldn't win one in his first few years as a Bull.
Plus, that narcissistic hour long announce ...[text shortened]... of course, but did he have to humiliate the Cavs like that??
I hope he never wins a title.
Originally posted by shortcircuitLike I said before, people bound to the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (players, coaches, GM's, etc.) are prohibited from negotiating future contracts before July 1st. As it turns out, on June 28th, 2010, Stephen A Smith reported on the Dan Le Batard Show that Lebron James and Chris Bosh had already made their decisions that they would sign with Miami. The very next day the Heat bought out James Jones' contract, freeing up $4 million. There is definitely probable cause that collusion did occur, the Commish just choose not to investigate it.
Dwayne Wade was already in Miami. They wanted LeBron and went after him.
LeBron orchestrated Bosh to come along.
Like it or not, there was nothing illegal about how it happened.
There was no collusion as someone suggested.
There was not labor law or tampering that was broken.
If there had been, it would have come out, but it didn't.
