LeBron and Wade press conference

My comments as follows:

1. The recurring "he took less money to go to Miami" argument is baseless. Cleveland is a much smaller market - the Nike endorsement, and all the other endorsements would have increased dramatically when he went to Miami, hence the lost money from Cleveland has been more than made up for.

2. "seemingly a big family man." who left all his family and friends in Cleveland - you really have to understand the social status of Cleveland to understand how big of a 'stab in the back it was'. Cleveland is a relatively poor, blue-collar working economy, and the place that made up (Akron) is down the road.

3. "who won't get over the fact that he left Cleveland and televised it and said that he would win a bunch of championships". Why should they? It was not the right way to go about things and it was disrespectful.

4. "Give the man some credit. He has worked hard to get where he is and has achieved greatness from hard work." - That is the problem with you anti-hater police. You wrongly think that these "haters" don't believe he can play basketball/that he isn't very good. Id say a large number of haters respect and recognise his talent, however they don't like his personality/off the court antics. People don't forget "the Decision".

I realise LeBron and Dwayne are bonafide super stars and paid the most at Miami, therefore they are dedicated the task of fronting the media after games, however could they not share this duty now and then?

If they would at least give them a break from it and present a new face to the media now and then it may have them treat it as less of a joke...

Seems we all get a bit sick of seeing the same players and the same comments, this works both ways IMO.

How good would it be to see the media talk to Bird Man and maybe young Cole, just for a change up??

It doesn't surprise me.

Remember in 2011 when Lebron and Wade mocked Dirk for his sickness/flu like symptoms. Was very immature. Got a kick out of watching Dirk torch the Heat that series.
