I never had a problem with players dictating where they would like to play. But it is a certain way to go about it though. Teams get the players they want all the time as well as ship the ones out when they can't produce for them anymore. So what's wrong with these cats deciding to team up nowadays. This ain't the 80's and 90's when a lot of teams and players just didn't like each other. I knew it was some shyt when Bron and KD worked out against each other last season. Would MJ Bird or Magic had trained together? And i know MJ used to train with Barkley some but Jordan knew that Chuck didn't have the dedication to his craft to beat him in my opinion. A lot of these players have known each other since they were like 14-15 years old. Y wouldn't we expect them to want to play with each other. Not saying it's right just saying that this is not the NBA they anyone born in the early 80's is used to.

Y'all must've never had father figures in your life to c/s this bullshyt.

it's one thing to ask to be traded, it's a complete other thing to turn full bytch and say you want to be traded to a specific team, and :usure: " im gon' get my way or else"

we got hoe ass players deciding if coaches will be fired,where they are going to play...soon these nikkas are gonna force nikkas on other teams to be traded, simply cause they dont want to play against them.


lol...the Dino Radja scenario...I want to go to a winning team in a warm climate

Pitino hit him with the :childplease:

"we had to explain to Dino that this isnt Club Med"

He played into what? Shutting everyone else free agency announcements off as you're saying? :wtf:

And stop lying like you give a fukk about Cleveland fans coming in here flag waving for them.

:laugh:

youre right I dont give a fukk about Cleveland fans, but thats not the point..if Kobe announced he was signing wih a team other than the Lakers on national TV, id hate dude for that

people watching the broadcast, doesnt justify it...one of the greatest athletes of the decades is making a free agency decision on ESPN, of course ppl are gonna watch...that doesnt make it ok, otherwise LeBron wouldnt still be apologizing "2 years out"..even he regrets its...

So let me get this straight...Bron's grown ass is responsible for he decision to have "The Decision" however all the grown ass men and women who watched and thereby lended credibility to the shyt aren't responsible for their actions? Did someone put a gun to all their heads?

You see this is what happens when you try to make moral issues out of hurt feelings...all it takes is someone who isn't an idiot to simply turn the shyt around and reveal the lack of consistency.

It is the point. Saying you don't give a fukk BUTTTTTTTTT Cleveland fans...

niqqa...you don't give a fukk about Cleveland fans....stop hding behind them. Just admit taht you give a fukk and that YOU didn't like it rather than saying Lebron is responsible for his free agency being announced more than others.

Once again why was no one on Cleveland expressing this BEFORE the show. Why was it only bad and classless and rubbing in the face after the fact. You knew 5 teams were gonna be disappointed. I'm sure it would've been just fine to Cleveland fans if he had been classless and rubbed the shyt in the other 5 teams faces.

:shaq2:

im far removed from the situation, not a fan of any of the teams involved..and I can say that him announcing his stay in Cleveland on National TV wouldve been 10x better received than announcing his departure..wouldve been witty at that point..

I didn't even bother to watch that shyt.

I turned on the TV about 10 minutes after the show and said "where he going?"

It's so phony the outrage behind that show.

"If I could look back on it I would probably change a lot of it. The fact of having a whole TV special, and people getting the opportunity to watch me make a decision on where I wanted to play, I probably would change that. Because I can now look and see if the shoe was on the other foot and I was a fan, and I was very passionate about one player, and he decided to leave, I would be upset too about the way he handled it."

even LeBron said he wouldve been upset, he knows it was fukked up

That doesn't make it consistent or right. It's still would have been arrogant and classless right? If it was wrong to do the TV show then it was wrong to do the TV show. All the extra condtions only demonstrate that the issue wasn't really the TV show.

Damn 2 years out and nikkas still keeping the sanctimonious outrage goin huh? Nobody had a problem with the special itself, otherwise it doesn't do the ratings it did. People were only butthurt because he picked a squad other than there's. If people had made such a big deal about if before hand and hadn't watched then I could respect that perspective however people from all over the country (including Cleveland) gathered round their TVs with fingers crossed hoping he pick them, despite the fact that he gave no one any assurances and we all knew it was between 6 teams. And then when he didn't pick them these same people who were ready to welcome the "King" to their city acted like nikkas at the bar who just got shot down by a bad chick that they thought was digging them.

when the person who did the action says it was wrong and regret it..you should probably stop trying to defend it

:laugh:

I watched it and while I was surprised when he said MIA I looked at him the same way then as I did before the show. He didn't suddenly become an evil narcissist. The nikkas keeping up all the outrage are the same type of nikkas who will sit up talking to a bytch all night, buying her drinks, offering to take her out and then when she doesn't give you the number be like "Man that bytch wasn't all that anyway. I wasn't even feeling her like that. bytch think she all that. :jawalrus:" When really they are like :to:.

Only reason I hated The decision is he didn't take his talents to the chi.

Realest shyt I have heard in a minute. Respect the honesty. I am so tired of nikkas going on and on about arrogance and how wrong he did Cleveland when the same nikkas would been :dj2: if he had chosen their squad.

wow at the honesty :gladbron:

i will no longer troll you beans



:bowdown:

Lol real talk. I would have been equally mad if he went to the Knicks, nets, or clippers that summer.

I don't care what :noah: say, he could :mj: all day if he was on my squad.

I like super teams. Nobody has a problem with Kentucky, NC, Duke, etc get all the best players in college so why the hate when the NBA does it? I didn't mind Bron leaving Cleveland for Miami, he was a free agent and he could go wherever he wanted to. I didn't like The Decision telecast though.. that shyt wasn't necessary.

-Howard is making a mess out it though and acting like a bytch
