    I did say he was goin to stay with Miami. But I also talked about him going to Cleveland before the NBA draft.

    I mentioned him with Kyrie and Wiggins.

    Honestly I dont know enough about the NBA to even comment like I did. I hate the league and what it has become. So tired of Lebron having ESPN camped out on his doorstep every time he runs to the toilet.

    If I were a Cavs fan, I'm not sure how I would feel about this...

    I'm trying to think of a Titans example... it would be like if McNair won multiple superbowls with the Ravens then came back to Nashville to finish his career here... except not really. Because McNair wouldn't have acted like LeBron even if he ever had become that famous. I mean, the ESPN interview when LeBron left (his choice)... I just wonder how I would feel if I were a Cavs fan...

    LBJ basically left Cleveland to ensure he won a ring. Now he can go back to Cleveland. He knew he'd never be in the same place as the other greats if he stayed in Cleveland and never won anything.

    **** that guy.

    There's no Titan we can relate this to, no former player of ours have moved on and gotten better. Randy Starks is about it and you certainly can't compare him to LeBron James, one is an elite franchise player the other isn't.

    Another bad example to try to use would be Albert Haynesworth, he left for a big pay day, but then fell off the face of the Earth.

    Maybe Derrick Mason? He left at the peak of his career and maintained a high level for years in Baltimore, but he never won anything significant.

    It's impossible to watch the game anymore. I watched when Jordan was around but the game will never be that good again. With all the flopping it's about as bad as soccer and ppl wonder why that sport doesn't catch on in the states. Disgusting.

    I think most diehard Cavs fans who care about winning probably got over "The Decision" and all that the moment it was announced he was coming back. There really is no way to compare it to the Titans or any other NFL team. Because football is so much more of a team sport than basketball. You can't really ride one guy (or a couple guys) all the way to the finals consistently in football. Even all those years Peyton was dominating the QB stat sheets, and even when he had Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, etc. what did the Colts have to show for it? Two SB appearances and only one win.

    Point being, when one guy can have THAT big of an impact on your chances of winning a championship, you're probably more apt to forgive a past slight.

    With the way people were lining up at his house and all that nonsense, he wasn't leaving Cleveland. He'd either be with the Cavs or in the ground, they weren't letting him leave.

    So I can't decide if this makes me like LeBron more or hate him more...

    He owes it to that team and city to make things right and get them a ring. But at the same time it looks like he bailed on Miami when he realized they were going downhill fast.
