Lebron

[Malik Hairston]

I haven't seen White people this happy in a long time, tbh:lol..

Lebron returning to a slave master owner and a fanbase that showered him with racial slurs during his last series in Cleveland is pathetic IMO..it's not Kobe or Jordan-level of coonery, but it's still disappointing for a man that has taken a role as a leader in the Black community, tbh..

I keep seeing and hearing White people express their happiness in Lebron's return to Cleveland, citing his return home as the sole reason, and that he's "doing the right thing", but in reality, it's just slave owner talk, as they believe Lebron "owes it" to Cleveland, ignoring that he exercised his rights to join a different team as a Free Agent..

Lebron has returned home to his massa, and White people are ecstatic about it, all the haters have become supporters..I haven't seen such accepted, blatant racism in a long time:lol..

I am no longer a Lebron fan, tbh, fuck that ugly-ass nigga..

Arison has virtually no involvement with the actual organization, his son runs it, and it's not just about ownership, it's about the fanbase, too..the mass racism from the Cavs fanbase during 2010-2011 was widely reported..

:lmao You're being a bitch, Harlem. Shut up.

Lebron made the right choice for himself. Miami was on the decline, and Lebron saw this. They were only going to sink more next season. Miami was not doing enough to re-tool into title contenders. He definitely has a better chance to win with Cleveland in the long-run. He needed to team up with young talent with room to grow. Has there ever been a team with four #1 overall draft picks before?

I also like the decision because he chose a small-market team over a big-market team. That's rare for a superstar (best player in the league, no less) to do that. Props. It really helps his image overall - and if he does win a title with Cleveland, it will erase the criticism that he "needed the superfriends to win."

:lol no..the Heat were never a threat to the Spurs, they match-up terribly, which is why I predicted Spurs in 5..there's nothing they could have done to beat the Spurs next year with a broken down Wade..

This. As far as what would've been better for the Spurs? It would've been better if the Heat stayed together. The Spurs would stomp the Heat again with that roster. The Cavs would only be a slight bigger threat. Too young, too raw, and not smart enough to win a title just yet...

As structured Heat wouldn't have been a threat I agree. Now restructuring cleverly their contracts, they could have added significant pieces to bother the Spurs.

They took a bath against the Spurs but we tend to underestimate how hard is to 3 peat, after this loss they would have came back hungrier and stronger.

The cavs will need a year to gel with the addition of two fundamental pieces like Lebron and Love or Wiggins. Oh I forgot to mention Mike Br:lolwn... no way Cavs + Lebron are a bigger threat than the Heat reloaded + Lebron.

I still think this was about him taking a paycut for Miller only to have Arison amnesty him and basically tell James he was taking a paycut for him, and not Miller. Was James supposed to take that from Jew Massa? Gilbert's letter was nasty, but it was nowhere near as bad as conning James into a paycut that was supposed to go towards winning titles.

That's okay cause he did it for the kids AMIRITE?


My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I’m from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there’s no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get.

[Splits]

:cry


For four years, the letter had come to define Dan Gilbert, and the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers wanted to wash away the shame and embarrassment and guilt of it all. So Sunday, Gilbert sat down with LeBron James and his inner-circle and tried to absolve himself of a most wretched moment in time.

"We had five great years together and one terrible night," Gilbert told James, and so started the process of reconciliation on Sunday night in Miami. "I told him how sorry I was, expressed regret for how that night went and how I let all the emotion and passion for situation carry me away. I told him I wish had never done it, that I wish I could take it back."


And soon, James told Gilbert that he wished he had never done "The Decision" on cable television and that they had made mistakes together, that they could move past it. From James and his agent Rich Paul and business manager Maverick Carter, the air of peace hung heavy in the South Florida air, the process of returning to Cleveland had begun in earnest. Soon, they had stopped talking about the past and talked about the possibility of a future together and for the first time – truly the first time – the possibility of reunification had become genuine.


"It was more comfortable than I actually thought it would be," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports on Friday afternoon. "They made it easy for me."


These had been Gilbert's first public words since agent Rich Paul called him moments before a public announcement, and said simply, "Dan, congratulations. LeBron's coming home."


Gilbert had flown down on his private jet on Sunday for the most important meeting of his billionaire business life. After obliterating James on the night of his departure for the Miami Heat four years ago, Gilbert had come back to make his pitch for the most improbable of partnerships: James and Gilbert, older and wiser, scarred in far different ways from sport's most spectacular falling-out.


James became branded by The Decision, and Gilbert became a hostage to his Letter. Only, James would win two titles in four years with the Heat, and winning washes everything away. Winning changes the story. The Cavaliers have lost a lot of games, made mistakes and then Gilbert started to understand something: For all his business genius, all his rebuilding of Detroit and charitable endeavors and everything he had done in his life, the letter had come to define him.


"Do a Google search on me, and it's the first thing that comes up," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports. "To a certain segment of society, it's like somebody killed somebody, like somebody killed their kid. I told LeBron, 'That letter didn't hurt anybody more than it hurt me.'


"For the first two months, I kept thousands of letters – not hundreds – thousands written to me. There were 90-year-old ladies and CEOs, and I realized that that letter had transcended the event, went far beyond LeBron. After a few months, I would re-read it and just be full of regret. That wasn't me, that wasn't who I am. I didn't mean most of the things I said in there. The venom it produced, from all sides … I wish … I wish I had never done it.


"I'm grateful that we all get another chance together now."


Three years ago, Gilbert says he "started to hear rumblings that this could be possible," that James had thoughts about someday making a return to the Cavaliers. "I went back and forth in my mind, thinking: Could this really happen? It was a volatile thing for years, and now that it's happened, I'm still in shock."


Gilbert couldn't stop talking about Paul and Carter, about how they were the conduits to make it all work again. "So professional with us through the whole process," Gilbert said. In the end, LeBron James wanted to come home, wanted to forgive, and there were these two figures, forever connected in history, sitting in Miami on Sunday and slowly, surely laying out a way it could all happen again.


LeBron James comes home a two-time champion, comes home with a chance to deliver something Dan Gilbert would've never imagined possible again: a chance for them to be champions together, a chance to wash away all the stain of a Scarlet Letter and The Decision, to get together older and wiser, and better understand how it can be made right again.


His cell phone buzzed on Friday afternoon, and Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, heard the words he could've never, ever imagined: LeBron's coming home.

He's not going to make a life altering decision because Arison amnestied Mike Miller. He's not that dumb, he knows Arison was always willing to pay, and considering the Heat were repeating luxury tax offenders, it doesn't fit that angle. :lol

James did not take a pay cut for Mike Miller. Wade Bosh and Lebron all did so that they can play together.

They each took about a $3M paycut on their starting salaries so they could sign Miller. Otherwise, they could have gotten very close to max together. And James came out and said he wasn't taking a paycut for Arison to make more money.

First feel good story in a long time for Lebron. You can tell he was tired of Miami and their shitty fanbase. The prodigal son returns, learning the error of his ways and will now be better than ever IMO.

I see what you're saying tbh. But it's just my opinion. I think his decision to leave Miami is bigger than that. He always wanted to be loved and liked, and he accomplished that today.

If holding grudge is his MO, he would neither consider Cleveland or Miami.

Mighty is absolutely correct here. Sure, Media will run interference on the issue, but, James sold out to The Gilbs. There were racist overtones in the original whipping of the black man and those racist overtones were cited by Media, not yelled at the top of lungs, but, whispered in the heights. Picking & choosing whom James lynches and whom he permits to whip him is a fact.

I'm gonna go again here, because it's warranted:::

Huh, I wasn't aware of this.

Dude, he owes nothing to the black race. His decisions are not bound by some sacred African blood pact. He's following his best opportunity to win, like he did four years ago. Besides, if you'd done your research instead of knee-jerking your foot right up your own ass, you'd see that (these are based on 2010 census figures) blacks or mixed blacks comprise over 50% of Cleveland's population, which is about twice as much as the black population-figures in Miami-Dade.
