Delonte West already had the James One Hour Special. Said it was repulsive yet fulfilling.

| I don't find it as big a deal. I mean ESPN has been hyping this up for 2 years now... it's only fitting it ends like this. Good for him. |

I might tune in on this just to see how they fill up the entire hour. Seriously though, I can't wait until this attention whore announces where the hell he's going just so ESPN can stop talking about it 24/7. Wait, they'll probably end up 'discussing' whether or not he made the right decision to do whatever he does until the end of summer. Gawd.
Honestly, I'm just really excited to so where everyone else (Wade, Bosh, Boozer, etc) end up more so than I am to see where LeBJ ends up. |

LOL
Maybe all the representatives of the teams will sit in front of him and James will start like: "And in the first round the Chicago Bulls have to go because they didn't want to give my family special treatment."
"Round two starts with a sack race betwenn the remaining owners." |

| He should just wear an ESPN logo right next to his Nike logo. He's gonna win the attention, money and fame game and yet still be a loser when it comes to rings. |

| Quote: | Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that LeBron James has long planned some kind of agreement with ESPN regarding his much-hyped free agency.
It was announced on Tuesday night that James would announce his decision on Thursday night on ESPN.
"James' plans were in the works in some form for months, according to sources, having talked with ESPN about filming his entire free-agency process for a documentary. For a while, this included some plans to take a tour across the country and visit interested teams," Windhorst writes.
When the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs and LeBron struggled at times, those plans were scraped. |
Turns out Lebron and ESPN have been in bed together longer than Delonte and his mom. "Lebron struggled at times". That's a nice way a saying he gave up on his team. |

I'd bet LeBron's mother is preparing a mouthful of rhetoric in defense of her son's arrogant debauchery. I mean, of course, when she doesn't already have a mouthul of Delonte West's scrotum.

Delonte was just tired of Lebron treating everyone like they were a towel boy. So he was just dressing the part when Lebron caught him in that hotel room. |

I've been contemplating a certain thought, much like Rene Descartes must have contemplated his own existence: LeBron's tattoo.
If he truly is the Chosen One, why did whatever Infinite Being that "chose" LeBron to be the "Chosen One" make it part of his divine destiny that Delonte West would sexually defile his mother? It's sort of a like a reverse Virgin Mary/Jesus Christ thing. Mary was pure; innocent. Chosen One's mom got a herpes train run on her.
Something to think about. |
Well, as you know "herpes" comes from the Greek term "creeping". So, Delonte was just trying to creep some "West"ern philosophy up in that. |

Well maybe the reports were wrong. Maybe West was really wearing nothing but the bed sheets draiped on him, like a toga. Toga, toga, toga! |

Absolutely pathetic. Thankfully the country is finally seeing this (bleep) for who he is.

Hold on there, Fake Sigmund Freud. You might want to peruse just about every other NBA team's fan forum on the internet before you empty your psycho-analytical bottom drawer on Lakers fans.

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News is reporting that there is a possibility LeBron James could sign a two-year deal with the Cavaliers this offseason.
Doing so would allow James to hit the market again in the summer of 2012 while still pledging his loyalty to Cleveland.
"Team executive hears that if LeBron re-signs with Cavs he might ink 2-yr deal and go through this madness again in 2012. Never know," Isola wrote on his Twitter page.

I disagree with you. I don't think he would do this for the attention. He'd do this because he decided to stay in Cleveland, but understandably is worried about the franchise's future so he doesn't want to tie himself down for the long term. I could see why he would want to keep his options open. |
If he wants to win he would sign with the Bulls, if he signs with Cleveland his mind was made up long ago he's just using FA to advertise himself. He's just dragging this out for his own profit. |
dragging what out? tomorrow is the first day players can sign...and he is doing it tomorrow...plus maybe he is loyal...if kobe wanted to win, he would have signed with the spurs in 04...but he is loyal (even though he threatened to sign with the clippers if shaq wasnt traded |

| What Bron should do is a max deal with an opt out in year two and three. Give himself a net. Two years tips his hand, Nyets move to Brooklyn then and off he goes. |

Let's see, you can find no fault in what LBJ is doing and you can find no good in anything Kobe does. Why are you on LG again?

Nice revisionist history. Dr. Buss had decided that he didn't want to extend and pay Shaq well into his late 30's. Plus Shaq, himself demanded a trade out of LA and denied that Kobe had anything to do with him leaving LA. |

Well aparently all proceeds from the 1-hour special will go to charity. Not sure how Lebron is making money from this and giving it to charity, but that's what I just heard on ESPN radio. |

Chris Ballard: Funny that LeBron, who is so caught up with managing his public image, just got a lesson on how to do it from Durant, who is not.
