it was an interview in which they were asked. shyt took 15 seconds to get an answer from both. Bron pre-planned a live television event. shyt has never been done before.
Someone remind me why Lebron was so hated for "The Decision" in 2010?

I thought that people were absolutely insane for reacting they way they did against Lebron.

attitude as bad as his odor
So you think if Lebron would've went to the Lakers or Celtics (pretend they had cap space) he wouldn't get hate from the media still?
Not sure. I do think the narrative would have been different.

So I guess him not signing a extension and declaring himself a free agent wasnt a sign that he was leaving?If you're break up with someone, you don't let them know by changing your relationship status on Facebook
I didnt understand the hate either. We dont criticize players who demand to traded in the middle of the season yet a guy who played out his contract and signed wit another gets all the hate in the world?
Because white media dictates who they want to be their whipping boy when they want
If he went to cac ass Boston..Simmons, Woj and every other journalist would be calling it a great move for him and his legacy

Why would any black man harbor any hate for Lebron james simply for exercising his right as a free agent. Especially knowing how much white folks hated him. How could any black man jump in the "hate Lebron wave"
plenty of people opt out and re-signYou have to put the whole story on there. The hometown hero that promised to break the 50 year championship drought left his home team to team up with two other superstars by creating a 1 hour television special and creating the catch phrase "I'm taking my talents to......."

Confuse concept with content brehsThe execution, insensitivity, and hysteria were all apart of the concept.That's like saying I dont' have a problem with the concept of war...it's the killing, casualties, and atrocious conditions I don't like. To say it wasn't the concept is to say that it wasn't the Decision because the Decision was all about capitalizing off of hysteria and being insensitive.
Horrible analogy. The concept of war isn't killing, casualties and atrocious conditions, those are the byproducts. The concept of war is enemies attempting to subjugate each other through force.
I can't speak for anyone else...but 2010 wasn't that long ago. Dudes of all races were hating on Bron, except those from Miami.Why would any black man harbor any hate for Lebron james simply for exercising his right as a free agent. Especially knowing how much white folks hated him. How could any black man jump in the "hate Lebron wave"

White people were mad
how is it surprising given the situation? I can say that not all the white folks were mad because of anything racial, but rather that he didn't want to continue to try to win in Cleveland, and he blindsided everyone with The Decision.
