    		 So LeBron James, one of the biggest free agents in NBA history, has decided to leave the Clevelend Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat. His decision was made into an hour-long special on ESPN, and the entire world found out his decision at the same time. Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, released a letter to fans, basically calling James a narcissist and a coward.

    Guess what happened next? Yep, you guessed it, "THAT'S RACIST!"

    "The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert sees LeBron James as a "runaway slave" and that his comments after the forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger.

    Shortly after James announced his decision Thursday night, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland's fans, ripping the 25-year-old and promising to deliver a title before James wins one. He called James' decision "cowardly" and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during a handful of Cavaliers playoff games.

    Jackson says Gilbert's comments "personify a slave master mentality" and the owner should face a "challenge" from the league."

    		 I swear Jesse Jackson needs to shut the fuck up. He turns everything into racism, thats not.
    James could have handled the situation better, but it is what it is.
    Has there ever been more info to come out to confirm that Lebrons Mom was having sex with Delonte West and others either. Thats the reason I heard he "gave up, in the playoffs."

    		 What's so special about LeBron James? He hasn't led any teams to any NBA title wins.

    Winning championships is more a team thing than a individual thing. I know people like to look at Jordan,magic Johnson and bird as they won it by themselves,but they had good teams around them. Not as big fan of his,but he's either the best player in the league or the second best right now and has been for years. That's something very special and when you consider his age he has the chance to do great things in the NBA at least. I'll also say that people have also made to much out of this guy leaving on both sides of the fence.

    That's because the Cavs are an incomplete team, Kobe wouldn't have won any championships in Cleveland either. You'll never see an NBA championship team that only has a single all-star quality guy.

    Here are a few of LeBron's selected acheivements:

    - Most consecutive points scored for a team in a playoff game.
    - 1st forward in NBA history to average more than 8.0 assists per game
    - One of three players in NBA history to record a triple-double in their playoff debut
    - 2nd place all-time for consecutive 20-point games to start a playoff career

    [u]Youngest player to ever:[/u]
    - record a triple-double
    - score 40 points in a game
    - score 2,000 points in a season
    - average at least 30 points per game
    - win an All-Star Game MVP

    		 Oooo, Lebron James...that tall dark and handsome Neanderthal of love! He has a supeeeerb hip action. The way he dribbles is how we say it in Sicily, "Mia Amore, cantar a sol lento"

    "The Love in the Jungle, makes me dance alone."

    No wonder he's so well-known and teams want him.

    		 I'm shocked that he left Cleveland,but this may work out well for him once you get past all the emotions and anger.

    		 The Cleveland fans can eat a dick. He had every right to go where he wanted and he had every right to decide when and how he wanted. The Cavaliers organization hasn't done anything to help put quality guys beside him. Oh sure, they got Shaq now that he is next to useless, but what about the previous 6 seasons when 'Bron had to win almost completely on his own? Fuck the fans, they don't deserve to have a winning team if they react this way.

    		 Lebrons also said that has always wanted to be more like Magic than Jordan and to distibute the ball. He's going to get that chance now. Lets see if he can put his money were his mouth is.
