Timmy did something similar a few years back by opting out and signing for half the amount just so the Spurs could stay under the luxury tax and make key signing/re-signings. It was very honorable and classy of him. But of course, if LeBron was to do the same thing again this off-season then it would obviously be bad for the league because his LeBron James and we all hate him, don't we.

Out of curiosity, how do the haters feel when LeBron is playing for Team USA? It's funny how the emotions quickly change when you're rooting for a team that happens to have LeBron in it :P

He has come a long way. Damn that was sad.

I didn't like the way they got together like others felt it wasn't right but obviously that's a matter of opinion, was over it shortly after it happened no biggie.

As far as Lebron I enjoy the hell out of seeing him play, especially when he's working all parts of his game...definitely the best player in the world and will go down as one of the greats. I think he gets more criticism than he deserves personally, even the greats we cheered for coming up didn't take every game winning shot. My issue with Lebron is dude is 250, 6'8" and flops like hell all the damn time. I wish he would get that Shaq mentality, going to foul me or play me physical...you're going to pay for it.

I'm not saying throw fist or elbows but you hit someone with your body enough word will get out and they may be a little hesitant to do it as much....just my thought. Personally I don't care what his attitude is like off the court cause I don't see that part of him. He plays basketball, I enjoy watching basketball so that's all i'm concerned with.

For me the main reasons I can't stand Miami is Wade, Chalmers, 80% of their "fan base" and Ray Allen. For me Wade is so freaking annoying and I liked him when he won his first championship. I think he's a dirty player, whines like a little bitch all the time and on the sly tries to act tough. All the times he's hit someone and someone does it to him it's "oh there's no place for that in basketball" or if I remember correctly the time he said after the fact when someone fouled him hard that "he was lucky my kids were watching" man get out of here with that crap.

He did a complete 180 when Lebron came...I liken it so someone having an older brother who everybody knows is a beast...but the little brother acts tough cause he knows he has his big brother to cover his slack. (just my opinion and the way I see it) Then there was him talking about he doesn't get the respect he deserves....dude when you carried the Heat past Dallas that year you had much respect from most people who weren't Mav fans but then you resorted to the way you are now and many lost respect.

The fans...well nothing really needs to be said there, Ray Allen..i'm a Celtics fan so there's that.

The Heat bandwagon fans is what makes me dislike the Heat (don't like using the word hate). The same fans that leave the arena early in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. The same young bandwagon fans who never watched Jordan play and tell you that LeBron is better. The same fans who are now making an excuse that LeBron "doesn't have enough help." The same fans who will become Knicks fans or Clipper fans or Cavalier fans this summer if LeBron chooses to leave.

[Cpre5]

For me its all about "The Decision" show

I don't care that you wanted to join your friends, or leave a cold city for a beach city "I would" But when he did a one hour show about his FA choice he lost me as a fan. Plus the not 1, not 2 etc.. just added more salt for me.

So I'll always root for anyone but the Heat while he is there
