:lol Lebron has never done anything wrong..people hate him because of a decision he made as a FA..
Yet most people hate James instead, it's funny..
Wrong. People don't hate on LeQuit because he left. They hate on him because of the WAY he left. He could've easily made his decision to leave, notified his employer, and thanked the fans for their support. After all, he was one of their own. The hometown boy who became a star. They also ignored his grotesquely, self-absorbed ego. They looked past the fact that he was a front-running SOB, who ignored the other local sports teams, while conspiciously supporting every other popular sports team outside of Cleveland (Cowboys, Yankees). More importantly, they believed him when he told them numerous times that his biggest desire was "to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland". Those were HIS words.
Instead, he gets on TV for an hour-long, "look-at-me", reality special, as though he's the President of the United States in a mock State of the Union Address. At the same time, he ingraciously craps on the fans and citizens of Cleveland, many of whom loved and supported him throughout the first seven years of his career.
Again, he was totally free to make any decision he wanted. However, spitting on fans of your hometown, on your way out the door was simply classless act, by a major-league douchebag.
Combine that act with the fact that he committed the cardinal sin of quitting on his team in Game 5 of the ECSF versus the Celtics, and it's pretty easy to understand why he's taken such a PR beating around NBA circles - especially in Cleveland.
The funny thing is, after all that, in an act of surprise, he wonders why the world turned on him? Huh? Instead of insulating himself with "yes men", he should clear the room, look himself in the mirror and get a clue.

Is this all you have against one of the best basketball players?
One of the three or four I would actually PAY to watch?

Better watch him fast. His teams have a tendency to get quick exits from the playoffs courtesy of the San Antonio Spurs.

Sure, and that's BECAUSE of him.
At any rate, he'll go to NYC, which will then be scheduled to win a championship, at last.
With him shooting more FTs than Wade ever dreamed of.

Well, he wasn't good enough to put his team over the top. I guess, since he is the superstar and the go-to guy on the team, it probably is because of him. He's certainly paid like it.
Who are you going to point the finger at if not him? He's certainly had quality teamates and has one of the best coaches in the NBA.
If he does go to NY, at least he won't have to worry about the Spurs bouncing him in the first round. NY won't have the pieces to win a championship.

It's no accident that people think he's a thug, Temujin. He cultivates that reputation. He wants it. Some people don't like it, and some people do. You obviously fall into the second category. I don't think many people dispute that he's a huge talent.
My problem with Carmello is the same as with Randy Moss in football. He has all that talent, but he's more concerned with his own reputation than with winning. He takes too many plays off, and too many games off. He hangs his teammates out to dry. And he pouts when he doesn't get his way.
He spent his first several years in the league telling everybody why he was better than LeBron. And he kept trying to prove it by making big plays, rather than making his team win. And, no, those are not the same thing.
If he would ever figure out that his street cred may be important to him, but it doesn't bring shit to his game or his team, he could be one of the best players in the league. As it is, he is just one of the most talented players in the league. If you want to pay to watch street ball, and early playoff exits, fire away. Not my cup of tea.

Given the way the game went, it's not surprising that Carmelo expected that call, and that he won't be bogged down by trifles such as replay video to change his opinion.

Melo's a whiny bitch. I could guarantee that he was crying and just used a tissue or something to wipe away the tears at the last second.

Re: Melo about to cry there in locker room
He's a hell of a shooter, that's for sure. He's better than Lebron in that regard. I think he's the best scorer in the game, can hit over anyone. If he had some mental toughness and grit, he would be a nightmare for opposing teams.

I agree! Also, if he had told Cleveland of his decision, they would had an opportunity to get someone in free agency to replace him, instead he held the team hostage and there was no-one available once Lebroom made his hour long decision on BSPN! So I despise the jerk for doing that to his team and I don't blame Cleveland fans for hating him!

I don't agree. It all comes down to his value to the city, not his ego or anything else. No one would give a shit if he wasn't so good.
If you take a HS grad and make him into a god, don't be so butt hurt when you find out he's just a HS grad.

You do realize that corn rolls = thug, right?
There are no thugs in the NBA. No one is robbing people and shooting people (Manu not withstanding).
