The Heat lose! Ha! Sadly, LeBron's gonna get a lot of hate even though he did a lot.

Well, blame his teammates

Oh poooor him...my heart's crying for him right now

 

[M3J]

What? I just think it's unfair despite getting 29 points and 10 rebounds, LeBron will probably be the one most scrutinized. As if MJ and Kobe didn't have good support that led them to the 3peat.

LeBron opted out of his contract. He can still go back to the heat...
but sure it would be fun to see he changing teams again and the mimi bandwagon dying hahahah

I will change team for sure if he leave. I support Lebron, I don't give a shit about Miami and I don't see a problem with it.

Chandler back in Dallas
Afflalo back in Denver
Asik in New Orleans

Knicks defense was horrendous last year and they just sent off their best defender, at least Calderon can be a really good triangle point guard
New Orleans paid a little too much again, with a first round.
And I was expecting Orlando to get more from Afflalo, who isn't a star, but is a good 2 way player in a position that's lacking talent in the league right now

 

[Hakuteiken]

Calderon is a terrible defender himself, though.

Well, draft came and went by. I still think the hype behind this year's flock is a little bit too much. I can't see Wiggins turning into a superstar with his current skillset and I would definitely love to see him struggle instead, since I'm highly biased against high-flyers with less finesse to back that up. A better version of MKG and that would be good enough.
On the other hand, Embiid hype is for real! I also have a thing for traditional centers, so, hopefully, he pans out, though I'm not that optimistic. He won't be Hakeem, most likely.

Rumor is that LeBron mainly opted out to force the decision makers to get better players on the team. Funny thing is that if he does change teams, it'll get him even more hated even if he joins a lesser known team. Someone will come up with a reason like "he just did it so he can get more attention to himself!" Though, LeBron should stay in Miami, he and the Heat are a great fit for each other.

No he won't. The majority of the people outside of Ohio didn't care that LeBron left Cleveland, it was how he handled it that turned people against him.

 

[TheMoa]

You can't get more happier than Lavine being picked by the Wolves

 

[Hardy]

Is that a ¨Fck me¨?

 

[M3J]

No he won't. The majority of the people outside of Ohio didn't care that LeBron left Cleveland, it was how he handled it that turned people against him.

He seems to have been hated even before then. And given the hate he has now, he'd definitely be criticized one way or another.

No he wasn't...

There's such a thing as fair and unfair criticism. All superstars have to deal with it.

yep hahahaha
I tink he's not happy about leaving the warm LA for the freezy twin cities

I know, but Kobe and LeBron get it the worst. Though to be fair, Kobe is one of the best, probably better than LeBron because Kobe has the instinct that LeBron seems to lack. Kobe did help the Lakers beat the Warriors on an injured leg and even made the free throws before walking off on his own, while LeBron has to be carried off.
