I'm just as disgusted with how the Lakers got Kobe and Gasol. I can understand OKC or another team, but the Lakers? Not a chance in hell.
It's not really the same thing, or at least it's not that aspect that bothers me. Perhaps I'll lighten up in the next few days because truthfully I'm sort of holding Miami responsible for the actions and comments and behind the scenes BS of Lebron and his crew. I'm only hating on Miami because their failure is the only thing that assures that Team Lebron will pay the price for this spectacle they created.
Your're mad because a guy made a decision thats best for him. So what? Your're jealous because a guy was able to garner this much attention based solely on where he will decide to dribble a basketball. You are definetely being a hater. Just appreciate it for what it is.

Agreed. That (Gasol) trade was the most one-sided in the history of this league and gave the Lakers two titles.
Miami on the other hand... gotta give them credit. Good management and recruiting skills, I guess. If we had somewhat managed to free up some cash to surround Stoudemire with James and Wade, I wouldn't complain.
Saying that, I haven't been following the free agent circus at all (The World Cup is on, after all!) and don't know about the build up or whatever people refer to.
So you hate a front runner yet select the Lakers as your 2nd favorite team? hahaha.. Ironic...
I just chose the Heat as my 2nd favorite team tonite because they are gonna beat the piss out of the lakers.. And they are gonna be damn exciting to watch...

Ha, I can see this train of thought. I also look forward to watching the Knicks, with Randolph and Amare, they'll at least be exciting.
Tell me how i'm ill-informed. You just said that your second favorite team is your teams biggest rival. Huh? If you're upset because he took an hour to say what he said ok... but what the hell else were you going to watch?
I can't stand front runners. Lebron James is now going to piggy back on others in order "to win championships and be ever considered amongst the greats"... What has this world come to? There are people that actually refer to this idiot as 'The King'.
Since I don't think the Suns can make it back to the WCF this year, I will be pulling for the Lakers to make it to the Finals and pound that pansy Lebron. My disgust for Lebron has actually made me a Laker fan. Incredible.
Kobe deserves the MVPs over Lebron. He stayed when LA looked like it wouldn't get better anytime soon (of course they received a huge gift from Memphis) and stuck it out. Now he is the best player since Michael. Lebron is a joke and a child with a weak constitution.
lol @ this guy ^ (clif), looks like someones hitchin a ride on Lebron nuts all the way to south florida!!
But back on topic. I hope the heat lose every game but not at the expense of calling the lakers my "2nd favorite team". I was talking to my friend about this today, I really probably wouldnt keep tabs on basketball if the suns werent in phoenix. I LIKE other teams like OKC and now GS, but I could NEVER EVER root for them with my emo heart like I do the suns. NEVER.
Everything is about presentation. Although some in Minnesota were angry when KG switched teams, i don't recall them being this mad, as a matter of fact, i don't remember emotions running as high after a "face of franchise" player switched teams as it is doing with the Lebron switch.
i doubt anyone would have cared if he has handled it better, he should have avoided announcing it like this, it is your home state for crying out loud.
The only thing this announcement brings him is bad karma across the nation, he can forget any kind of honor from the cavs in the future and God help his kids if he didn't withdraw them from school immediately, bullies are gonna have a field day.
I just feel like I was taken for a ride I didn't want to go on, and in the end it sucked just as much as I thought it would. Oh, yeah, and it's not even close to over. We're probably going to have to watch LeBron and the Heat bury Cleveland on Christmas Day.
why so much hate for lebron? He did everything he could for that team and they couldnt get it done year and year out.... they acquired complements who arent a solid # 2 player.... His move to the heat is applaudable, taking less money to win a championship unlike amare who is money driven and im excited to watch the knicks give up 150 points a game (sarcasm)... Dont know why theres so much hate for lebron though...

It's the way he did it. Keeping everyone at bay for so long, making a circus of the whole thing. The ridiculous 1 hour special on ESPN to make an announcement where he would go. The whole thing reeks of just massive ego and him needing the country to stroke him. I never really liked James....but I despise him now. I really do believe that Miami is not going to be as great as some think. I just don't see these 3 playing together all that well. Plus it remains to be seen who else Miami can get to fill their roster. They may be the best of buddies now, but alot can change when things don't go the way they plan.

You make it sound like he is taking the MLE.
A lot of fans wants Amare gone, the FO has shopped him around a lot and he is leaving respectable with the last minute negotiation.
So their situations is not even comparable.
