When you're easily the best player in the league and you willingly leave a team that is pretty much considered your hometown, you have to expect to be hated for the rest of your career. That's just common sense.
Uhh no that's not common sense. LeBron did that and certainly isn't hated in Cleveland and it's pretty reasonable to say a minority of NBA fans hate him.

yea cause he came crawling back to cleveland bc he was scared to face the raised expectations he made for his team in Miami and chose to hide behind the children of cleveland.

Crawling back to a team that only had 33 wins the year before and leave a team he just went to 4 NBA Finals with....yep this makes sense

Yes it does. He failed in Miami, was not living up to expectations of actually winning like a dynasty. He chose to go back to his home city where expectations were significantly lowered even through he had to have key players on team to do it. Win 1 in Cleveland... all the suckage in the world.... Not winning more in miami... disappointment. Its totally rationale. He left miami because he was becoming a disappointment.

No. There has never been a better story in sports. Ever.
Posted on 5/27/15 at 9:47 am to Chad504boy
Going to 4 NBA finals and winning 2 is not a Dynasty, I understand that, but If he wins another in Miami(which he probably would have ended up doing) it would have been considered a dynasty...
Don't get it twisted...what was a failure of a Big 3 was when Boston only got 1 title out of KG,Pierce,Allen....they should have got more, but oh wait...that guy named LeBron was messing that up...
Seriously, I understand peoples hate for people who are great...also people who cant grow up and want to accepted greatness occurring when they grew up watching other greatness, but do like you did then and sit back and be a witness of what is taking place before you. The kid is only 30 years old and has a resume that is being compared to one of the greatest basketball players ever. He has been compared to this guy ever since he was 16/17 and has lived up to all the hype...he will finish top 5 in scoring and have 10,000+ assists...it is insane what he will have when its all said and done and what discussion will be played out..but don't take away anything from him doing what he is doing now. It is pure greatness....Curry/LeBron will make for a great NBA Finals...I want to see that Curry that we saw in the Final Four run...and if LeBron keeps up the steam he has right now I don't believe anything can stop him...hes playing at a high dominant level.

This is exciting.
Watching the "great sports city" of Cleveland build up its hope and place them all in Lebrons hands.
Can't wait for the Cav fans tears after GSW dominate them.

so you agree he didn't succeed and ran away from the challenge of completing said task.
GOt it.

i thrive in rooting against him. He's a polarizing player. He gets me to turn the tv on, only to root against. Plus his hairline is ridiculously fake.
Posted on 5/27/15 at 9:58 am to Chad504boy
no, sometimes teams don't win multiples in a row to be a dynasty...the patriots didn't, and neither did the spurs and they are considered dynasty's...
Yes his hairline is crazy, and he got some nice hair plugs probably but still doesn't take away from the way he plays...with or without the head band, still a bad mother fricker

I didn't say all had to be in a row, what i'm saying was he needed more. he chose to leave bc he knew he was starting to fail and the challenge and expectations became too large. Run back to cleveland, get kyrie and love and say something about kids and become beloved again.

Or just go back to where you built your multi million dollar mansion and win a title for your hometown team...
he could have ran off titles for Miami, but it would have taken Wade leaving or taking a pay cut(when he already had guaranteed money)...
LeBron has shown he doesn't need Kyrie or Love to win a series....Love has been out of it and Kyrie isn't 100% and when hes on the court hes a decoy at best..if he was playing he would have been guarding Teague but they didn't stick him on Teague because they didn't want to aggravate anything.
Kyrie will show his worth against Curry...that will be a fun one to watch.
