Do you give a dman about Lebron James?

Last time I had a dman, I lost it playing in a game of poker with some Air Force guys.

I'm afraid I no longer have a dman to give.

Freudian Slip about LeBron?

Bodhisattva said:

He crapped all over Cleveland. You guys should NEVER accept him back. He is a Brutus and should be booed the hell away all season... seriously. Accepting him back so happily is enabling behaviour not unlike the Hatfields welcoming in the McCoys after a few years.

How did he crap all over Cleveland? Cleveland showed themselves completely incapable of getting him the help he needed and completely incompetent of managing an NBA franchise. All they did was rely on Lebron James while bringing in medicore players to put around him. The best player they brought in during his time there was an over the hill Shaq that could barely run up and down the floor. Beyond that the best player on the team was Larry Hughes, which was someone that had no business being in the NBA.

Larry Hughes was not on the Cavs... at least not 2008-2010. And the way he had Brown fired. The way he unprofessionally withheld notifying his team or other teams which affected their ability to get other talent. They way he didn't stay and work it out like Jordan did in Chicago (took him 7 years to win his first title). As I remember much of the reportersm and the NBA (including Magic and Jordan) thought it was poor decision making too.

Chicago and Jordan by extension got lucky when they managed to get Pippen in a trade with Seattle, and regardless of what Jordan might think he would not have been able to do anything in Chicago without him. Lebron was not as lucky and while your right Hughes was already out by the 2008 season, there was nothing there in his place that would make Lebron think the Cavs were going to get him some help. Considering that the management in Cleveland was and still is incompetent it's highly doubtful they could have done anything respectable if Lebron actually did as you desired him to do, though I suppose you're right that it was unprofessional.

On a side note, the Olden Polynice for Scottie Pippen trade has to be one of the dumbest trades in history.

As for Brown being fired, well, to be honest, he is a terrible coach that doesn't have the necessary skills to coach a championship team. Did you ever watch his offense in motion? Lets just say it involves a lot of standing around and therefore results in horrible offensive flow. I call it the isolation, everyone else stand around and do nothing offense. Of course, if you give him a big man it will result in the force the ball inside and leave everyone else just standing around offense.

I don't give a damn about Lebron James or basketball or professional sports as a whole. Overpaid primadonnas that prance around the court and play a game for a living are beyond worthless.
