[QUOTE="LazyRider, post: 7345102, member: 572661"] Well there's a lot of stuff I don't agree with here. I willl never understand the way people acted when Lebron left the Cavs. People look at sports as just entertainment, but it's a business and the players are employees. He was not getting what he wanted from the company he was with so he went somewhere else. People always get on athletes for being money hungry and overpaid, but then b[COLOR=black]it[/COLOR]ch when the big 3 took pay cuts to play together. They were trying to put together a good core group of players, how is that wrong? It's a sport, if you're not in it to win and be the best what's the point? You're supposed to settle for just making it to the playoffs. It's not as if he tried one season with the Cavs then left. He tried his best and it wasn't working so he left. Is he supposed to play his whole career with a team that clearly wasn't getting him the help he needed to lead the team to a championship. And he's not the first player to say they were going to be in the dunk contest and wasn't in it. People just made a big deal out of it because he's Lebron, and they always want to look for something negative to say about him. And then there's the fact that you're making comments about someone's personality that you've never even met lol. Cocky and arrogant? Seriously? How does he "think he's the ****"? Because he gets angry when he loses? lol, what professional athlete is happy about losing? His whole life is basketball and he takes it serious. The dude is passionate about the game and he really wants a championship. I seriously don't see what he's done wrong. [/QUOTE]
