It still was on TV...what's the difference? There is none! People's reasons for being mad were arbitrary as fukk. He's LeBron James, he's going to get attention. As you saw this time, ESPN was discussing him 24/7 until he said where he was going.
Someone remind me why Lebron was so hated for "The Decision" in 2010?

Anxious: Joe D'Amico, left, his brother Billy D'Amico, center, and their friend Josh Heckman, await the news of where LeBron James will play basketball next year as they watch the fans and media gather in front of James' home on Thursday
Nevertheless, security has been amped up around James' Bath Township mansion.
Local Police Chief Michael McNeeley told Fox 8 that James hires off-duty policemen to work security outside his property every day, but that more officers will be present today and tonight when the decision is expected.
Security has been letting fans drive by James' home, but they are not letting them stop in front of it.
Rumors were that James was to announce his decision via his website at 3:30pm on Thursday, but that hour came and went with no announcement and even caused the site to crash.

The last time James was a free agent was in 2010, when he decided to leave the Cavs and join the Miami Heat.
Fans then rioted in anger, starting fires in the street to burn LeBron jerseys, posters and other paraphernalia.

Seemed like logical reactions except for the 2nd guy...that was just scorn. Keep in mind this was right when it happened.

I dunno cause there are better ways to make a free agent decision than to attention whore it up by doing a one hour spectacle? Dude could of just told the Heat and let them handle making a signing statement, you know like every other free agent.
seems like an awful lot of qualifying to justify your narrative. Carry on, though.
Point is you can't have war without the killing and atrocious conditions. Just like you can't have a prime time TV special to announce what team you are playing for without insensitivity and hysteria. People tuned in record numbers to watch so clearly that wasn't an issue for them...until he said "South Beach" that is.

These dudes on here are so goddamn retarded with this shyt is cartoonish.
Pretty much. You could tell Bron and his boys didn't really think this shyt through.
They thought the whole 4 million to the YMCA shyt was going to smooth shyt over not to make him look like such a bad guy, but anyone with a brain could see that shyt was a cover.
Got over it quick though, probably the only legit dumb thing he did IMO
People don't like confident nikkas making boss moves
I'm a black man and for me this had nothing to do with it.
My goal is to have my own dental practice within 5 to 7 years. I'm already close to $20,000 saved. I don't want to do business loans or anything like that if I can get away with it. That to me is boss shyt.
He just did things so back asswards. And it came off a bit weak. He could have let Glibert know on some man shyt that he was leaving. He could have done the same thing for Riley and Arison.
I've never given him flack for going to another team. All that quit shyt is a joke. Just like the "going back to play for massa" narrative is a joke. He did what he thought was best for his career. I just don't like that he seems to not like confrontation. Some times you just gotta tell nikkas how you feel. When they had that dinner before he left the Heat, Chris Bosh said that there wasn't one word uttered about the future of the team. What kind of shyt is that?

Man I'm not on this "cacs mad
" shyt. It wasn't all white people. It's just the ones who couldn't get over it and remained furious like Lebron owed any of us, happened to be white. Over time you're supposed to realize the man had to do what he thought in his head was right. Just like he thinks coming back is the best decision for him and his family. I really believe Lebron about the family aspect of it.I can't ignore the folks that harbored anger towards him that seemed to go beyond sports though...I interpreted it as malicious. Like they were covering their true feelings with The Decision like thats what they were actually mad about.
