    Congrats, Miami.

    Lakers ALL DAY!!! 3PEAT

  3. A.I. says:

    YEA!!!!!!!!

  4. erick10 says:

    Lakers and Kobe all day. LeBron, Miami is Wade’s team. You a little Princess LeBron, looking for the spotlight.

  5. NIKEDEE says:

    Jermaine O’Neil going to the Celtics was bigger news if you ask me. Lol.

  6. ^ Nobody cares about the Lakers right now. Shut the f%$# up. They won the Finals and that’s great for them. Quit gloating about it, and shut up. It happened weeks ago. Same goes for any other Laker cock jockeys out there who may pollute this thread with their meaningless crap. Save it for the losers on sneakernews.com.

    Not that I really care. But I thought Lebron would be going to the Knicks. Now, because he dragged this out, and made seemingly everyone in America pay attention to his attention whoring, I really just want him to end up in the morgue.

  7. Blackground says:

    I am from Canton, about 10 miles from Akron, lived in Ohio until the 1989. Saw John Hot Rod Williams and Ron Harper play and Jordan crush the Cavs year in and year out. Loved the Indians, loved the Browns. Lebron will be the most hated man in Cleveland since Ernest Byner! WITNESS………Lebron dash the hopes and dreams of an entire state.

  8. Blackground says:

    @CK…..your hating knows no bounds LOL

  9. Royal Swagness says:

    good luck lebron down in miami. I hope you don’t get hurt packing your stuff out of cleveland. The Heat won’t win a championship for at least 3 years. You can’t win with 3 people. you need role players. that’s why Kobe & the cast, Dwight Howard & the crew, and The Big 3 & the shamrock crew. can’t wait to play NBA 2K11 .

  10. alfonzo2205 says:

    Converse King…THE SUPREME HATER…I concur…3PEAT

  11. bright says:

    cool maybe pitbull the greatest rapper of all time can make a welcome to miami anthem

  12. Miami is the new Walmart. Taking over and destroying other franchises along the way. It’s too bad about T-Dot, now their franchise is in peril. Who wants to go there now?

  13. dmy says:

    pitbull the greatest rapper of all time?? now that’s the news of the night!

  14. Vagrant Sneaker says:

    I was happy that he had on the Nike Toki Rustic Sails on. lol That was bigger news for me.

  15. MANNY says:

    lebron your a straight foooool!! should have gone to the chi, that woulde have been a guaranteed championship!!

  16. CenValCali says:

    LBJ is goin to do big things wit Miami & we all know that.
    .
    @bright, dude STFU already.

  17. koop says:

    i wonder if the lebron cavs jersey on sale 2morro or wat!

  18. sou.less says:

    Damn. I’ve been noticing lately there’s a lot of haters on TSG. Idk much about the community but in here … yeesh.

    First off, apart from the fact that he wants to win championships. Lebron, Wade and Bosch are great friends. I mean, on this day and age for big time superstars to take a pay cut JUST to play with each other is pretty rare. Specially in the NBA.

    I think he made the right choice, and I’m not just saying that because I’m from Miami (go ahead roll your eyes) the fact of the matter is this was the best choice to win.

  19. McLovin says:

    YESSSSSS!!! The 2011 NBA Title will be coming to the 305!!! Catch me in Cameo or The Mansion tonight!!!

  20. FLiP says:

    lebron is stupid for choosing the heat. the rest of the teams will be bums and minimum level players. it takes more than three good players to win a title. he took a pay cut and his points will drop because all the players around him will want the ball. his assists might go up but that won’t win a title. Miami was good enough with bosh and wade. put decent players around them and they could easily win a title. Lebron should have come to the knicks or bulls. if one of the big three bets injured, they are screwed.

  21. hate isnt good for your blood,and im not talking about lebron.

  22. CrizFresh says:

    I was a LeBron James fan & I just wanna say he really shocked me cuz I was expecting him to stay in cleveland or go to Chi-town or here to NYC….I think he has tainted & ruined his legacy he could’ve been considered one of the greats like Kobe & MJ but now he’ll be known as the dude who couldn’t get it done in cleveland & took his bitch ass to miami in hopes of winning a ring with Wade & Bosh….I honestly didn’t kno he was this desperate to win a ring & even if he does eventually win a ring it’ll be known as the ring that Wade & Bosh got him…another thing is we might as well give Kevin Durant the MVP now cuz LeBron’s numbers will take a hit & decrease in a huge way!….I’m not a LA fan but the Lakers are still the front runners to 3peat just don’t see Miami even though right now look loaded they fuck with Kobe/Odom/Artest/Gasol & Bynum on the bottom!!

  23. Royal Swagness says:

    @ bright. STFU, HO. this is about Lebron not poodle, I mean pitbull.

    - here’s a list of rappers better than pitbull. Jay-z, Eminem, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I, Young Jeezy, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Raekown, J.Cole, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross, DMX, Method Man, Cypress Hill, Lupe Fiasco, The Roots, B.O.B, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, Luniz, Ice Cube, Outkast, UGK, Game, Wiz Khalil, The Clipse, Run DMC, Tribe called fresh, EMPD,…………..YEAH U GET MY POINT.

  24. lillouie says:

    Royal Swagness…. Im not tryna be an ass. But most of the people you named arent even good there horrbile. Not ALL just MOST.

  25. Brandan E. says:

    well see how it plays out, but i cant see them beating America’s Team……..LA Lakers!!! all day 24/7/365

  26. Ju says:

    He made a decision for his personal gratification but he didn’t acknowledge what was at stake: his home pride. I’ve heard the hate for him is on par with that of Art Modell and I understand why. I believe that the MJ comparisons should cease at once because this act displays the willingness of one who has lost to much and no longer has anything to lose. MJ stayed with the Bulls when they lost to the Pistons (D-Town, Eastside) but LeBron left the Cavs high and dry. The power shift in the league is unattractive too. Everyone will watch and play with the Heat on 2K11, they will become super overrated.

    BTW, this received more coverage than the Oscar Grant trial and that’s a shame, says alot about people (black, orange, blue) and what they deem important.

  27. Icegroove says:

    Good luck to LBJ!! :)

  28. B.A. says:

    i honestly believe lebron should have stayed in cleveland, only bc he is still young and has time to win a couple titles…i feel hes looking for a shoulder(s) to lean on,the easy way out. Dont get me wrong ima lebron fan, followed him from his high school days until now and on…and we not gonna see the same lebron we seen these past 7 seasons, lk all the spectacular dunks, game winning shots, etc…overall i just hope they live up to the hype..

  29. HURRIC@N3 24 says:

    @ alfonzo2205- It’s Coverse QUEEN The Supreme Hater, he’s just a bitter I mean Celtics fan ;)
    -
    LAKERS 3-PEAT STARTS NOW
    -
    IT WOULD BE THE BEST FEELING TO BEAT THE HEAT IN THE FINALS, BUT WE’LL PROBABLY JUST END UP WHOOPING ORLANDO OR BOSTON AGAIN ;)
    -
    MIAMI OR BOSTON, MIAMI OR BOSTON, HOPEFULLY BOSTON, PUT THEY ASS IN THE COFFIN(AGAIN)
    -
    L.A., L.A. ALL DAY, GET OVER IT HATERS, L.A. IS THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD :)

  30. HURRIC@N3 24 says:

    @ Royal Swagness- Most of those rappers you mentioned are WACK, but I get you, it doesn’t take much to be better than Pitbull LMFAO
    -
    You people should try some PackFM, Vinnie Paz, Freeway, Fashawn, Freddie Gibbs, Big K.R.I.T & Hayes for some good rappers
    -
    & LeBron should have went to the Clippers, I’ll take Eric Gordon, Baron Davis, Blake Griffin & Chris Kaman over Wade & Bosh ANY DAY, & I think if he went to the Clippers, they could beat the Lakers
    -
    It’s funny how all the Cavs fans now think Kobe is the best player in the NBA
    -
    I just decided I’m not going to get the LeBron VIIIs, even though they are fire, I can’t support that bastard as a person

    cool maybe pitbull the greatest rapper of all time can make a welcome to miami anthem…. THAT RIGHT THERE HAD ME CRYIN FOR REAL… THAT WAS THE BEST COMMENT IN HERE TODAY… CVC.. YOU A FOOL.
    .
    HURRIC@N3… NEGRO PLEEEEEASSSEEEEE, DID YOU JUST SAY FREEWAY?????? I UNDERSTAND YOU LIKE YOUR UNDERGROUND DUDES.. BUT FREEWAY???? GIVE ME A BREAK .. THAT’S NEARLY AS FUNNY AS BRIGHT’S PITBULL COMMENT.
    .
    JU – THAT ARGUMENT IS SO LAME IN MY OPINION. THAT MAN WANTS TO WIN. HE WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST IF HE DOESN’T.. POINT BLANK. YOU SHOULD BE MAD AT CLEVELANDS MANAGEMENT.. THEY DID NOTHING TO KEEP HIM AROUND. NO ONE CARES WHEN OWNERS LET PLAYERS GO WHO THEY PIMP OUT ANYWAYS …. LET THAT MAN GO HIS WAY. CLEVELAND DID NOT, AND I REPEAT, DID NOT SURROUND THAT MAN WITH PEOPLE WHO COULD WIN. DAN GILBERT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL MORON.. WHAT A FOOL.. HE’S JUST MAD ABOUT ALL THE MILLIONS THAT THE FRANCHISE IS LOSING … HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT LEBRON.. THAT’S WHY IS TALKING THE WAY HE IS TALKIN.. YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN. ALL THE LEBRON HATERS NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP… I’M SICK OF IT. SHUT THE HELL UP.
    .
    MJ STAYED WITH THE BULLS… BUT IF THE SITUATION PRESENTED ITSELF FOR HIM TO PLAY WITH MAGIC AND WORTHY, HE WOULD’VE DONE IT. MJ WANTED TO WIN MORE THAN LEBRON EVER WILL. ANYBODY WHO KNEW MJ WOULD TELL YOU THAT
    .
    YOU GUYS TALK A LOT ABOUT THIS FOOLISHNESS. THAT MAN DOESN’T OWE ANY BODY ANYTHING. TEAMS AREN’T LOYAL TO ANY PLAYERS.. THEY DROP DUDES LIKE BAD HABITS ALL THE TIME.. IT’S A BUSINESS FOLKS. EFF THE CAVS AND EVERYBODY ELSE RIDICULING LEBRON. CAUSE IF HE DOESN’T WIN A CHIP… A LOT OF Y’ALL WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO SAY HE IS TRASH. HE HAS TO GET THE MONKEY OFF HIS BACK. RIGHT NOW HE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF PEYTON MANNING BEFORE HE WON A SUPERBOWL. THE PERCENTAGES TOLD LEBRON THAT HIS BEST CHANCE WAS IN MIAMI…. NO CRYIN OVER HERE MAN.. GO GET YOUR RING LEBRON. LOYALTY MY HARRY @$$

  32. erick10 says:

    Steve Blake for the Lakers baby…..LMAO.

    Sorry but I dont see the Miami Heat thanking the Championship in 2011.

    Kobe….Lamar….Ron Ron…..Gasol…..Bynum…….3Peat

    Phil Jackson needs a statue outside Staples

  33. erick10 says:

    I meant Taking not thanking lmao.

  34. Lebron will never be the same in my view… He is still great but will never be the Lebron that i knew…

  35. Wilbury says:

    Probably should have gone to Chicago. Taken Bosh and worked with Rose and Noah. That team makes sense. Obviously wanted to play with Wade. And Paul will come to them in 2012. Still, will be exciting. Worst thing is the Cleveland people… and in particular, the owner Dan Gilbert. I can understand being disappointed… but his “letter” to the people was nothing short of disgraceful. And to say they will win a championship before LeBron does? You Couldn’t win one WITH him.. how will you win one WITHOUT him?? In the words of Beyonce… “if you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it”… Cav’s fans are on the forum applauding his letter of shame, and congratulating him on being a “Great” owner. Really? he had the best player in the league and he basically left it up to him to try and win it for them all by himself… Mo Williams? a 38 yo Shaq? Antawn “No-D” jamison? Where was his HELP?? Yeah, GREAT OWNER. And, as it seems… “great” person too. And the people burning his jerseys and saying they hate him… umm, but you loved him a second go? Love doesn’t last in Cleveland. He gave you 7 YEARS of his career, and YOUR TEAM let HIM down. How bout a F*ckin THANK YOU!! P.S as if Lakers would even have a chance now… that reign is OVER.

  38. Muntz3000 says:

    Pardon the LbJ hype.
    I ain’t want him on the heat. ” I remember when he got drafted # 1. My dude was the # 4 pick Dwade!
    (Google) Wade’s Dunk on Jermaine O’neal(which I heard signed with the Cs??) It was in the first round of the playoffs that year. Back when the Pacers were the shit,Oneal,Miller,Ron”Physical Defense” Artest.

    Anyway I always wanted to see Wade VS Lbj, winner goes to the Finals.

    Owellllll its still MIA to the wheels fall off. And we taking it this year! (Now if the Lakers over come this roster Riley is cooking up,Kobe will def be the greatest Laker in my book.

    Sidenote, can’t wait for the LbJ 8s though in Heat color way!

  39. Miami J King says:

    WE READY! WE READY! LBJ in the building MIAMI! ONLY KINGS have RINGS. LeBron lets get it! @ kobe i got the best of my draft class with me! In the words of the late great TUPAC “I got my money right I’m ready for war”! To the cavs owner LEBRON doubled the value of your team and now u hate the man. He got what he deserves and the cavs wont make the playoffs for many many years. HA HAAH!
    NICKS NETS CLIPPERS BULLS

    GET YOUR WEIGHT UP!

  40. lilbusta2318 says:

    @ Jarvo – I’m trying to read the comments from everyone, but I can’t seem to make your comments out. Can you please type english?

  41. Tosha says:

    @ Wilbur…WELL SAID! You had the REALEST comment in this entire thread. I’m so sick of hearing people talk about how LeBron is a “coward”, a “punk” a “princess” or that he’s selfish and just wants the spotlight. Whatever spotlight that man has gotten over the 7 years he’s been in the league…he damn well deserves it! No, he didn’t win a championship in Cleveland…but that’s not his fault! He couldn’t do it alone. Every star player…especially of this era…who has won a championship or more….has had another star player around him….i.e., Kobe/Shaq, Wade/Shaq, Tim Duncan/David Robinson and Tony Parker, Paul Pierce/Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen….hell…even Jordan had Pippen….so he did an EXCEPTIONAL job w/ what he was given to work w/. Not down-playing any of his former Cavs teammates, but they are all ROLE PLAYERS. He didn’t have another superstar alongside him…if he had…he would have won TWO Championships already! I can guarantee that! And the blatent disrespect by the Cavs fans and the owner is just SAD! That man gave his blood, sweat and tears for that state for 7 years….put them on the map…and b/c he’s trying to win….something he COULDN’T do in Cleveland….now he’s the worst person in the world. Well…Miami will receive him w/ open arms and he, Wade and Bosh will work together to get that city another championship and prove ALL THE HATERS wrong!

  42. what??? says:

    im sorry but i would have taken the money and stayed w/ the team that had the best record last season. They messed up the lineups when we started the playoffs thats why we lost. I dont hate the dude but he is a leader and i cant see why he wouldnt want to play that role. too bad for him considering cleveland is stacked and has money to beef up even more. this will give the existing roster more confidence in themselves ultimately forcing them to play at a higher level i see us still making the playoffs considering the moves we make from here. watch out for Mo, boobie, and west, to become a great gaurd trio.

  43. BOSS says:

    chicago wouldve been a better choice. he would’ve had a more WELL ROUNDED team than Miami. Wade is unreliable health wise and if he breaks down, Lebron and Bosh won’t be able to handle that. At least with Chicago, he had Rose, Booser, Noah. THAT would’ve been a championship team right there. The lakers at one point had Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton, and Fisher on the same team and they still didn’t win the ring.

  44. Halfcent Rod says:

    Chicago Will Always Be Jordans Team. LeBron Shoulda Jus Stayed In Clevland. Even If He Wins In Miami Its Not Gonna Be The Same As Him Winning In Clevland. He Took The Easy Way Out. Personally Im A Rockets Fan. So It Didnt Matter Where He Went To Me. He Woulda Been Better Off In NYC Or Jus Stayed In Clevland.

  45. K-I-double-D says:

    @ bright, pitbull is trash. Pac’s da greatest dead or alive u damn fool…

  46. FLiP says:

    i can’t blame Lebron really. the owner surrounded him with bums and expected to win a championship. seven years of hard work went to waste there. he should have went to the bulls or NY. Miami is and will be WADE county. the bulls would have been a better fit if they got rose to share the ball more. the owner of the cavs is a disrespectful loser for writing a letter. i would be mad if I was him but why would he disrespect the guy who has put in countless hours trying to help the team be great. the players around him didn’t do much and played crappy defense. Miami can’t win a championship with just 3 players. they need a strong bench to win. if one of the big three gets hurt only 2 players are left to carry the team.

  47. naka says:

    “ALL THE LEBRON HATERS NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP… I’M SICK OF IT. SHUT THE HELL UP.THAT MAN DOESN’T OWE ANY BODY ANYTHING. TEAMS AREN’T LOYAL TO ANY PLAYERS.THEY DROP DUDES LIKE BAD HABITS ALL THE TIME.. IT’S A BUSINESS FOLKS. EFF THE CAVS AND EVERYBODY ELSE RIDICULING LEBRON.” – AM95 aka LEGEND of BIGFOOT-
