I don't buy the stupid "Lebron shrinks in the big moments" theory because he had strong postseason performances in 2011, so if anyone has a reasonable basketball explanation...

Please read my post again and tell me where I criticized LeBron for any of his Finals Performances. I was talking about LeBron the front-runner, LeBron the ultimate opportunist.

Mehh.. If Love had been traded before LeBron decided to go to Cleveland then you might have somewhat of a tiny argument.. But leaving a team that just went to 4 straight finals and were adding McRoberts, Granger, and likely Deng, for a team that can't even get themselves into the playoffs or out of the lottery is hardly what I would call being a front-runner. His letter felt sincere, hell even ThreeKing was a fan for a couple days lol.

I wasn't addressing your post, I wasn't planning on giving it a response anyway.

I'm pretty sure.. There another thread out there with our opinions in it. Has to be 4 years old and about 100,000 post.

Really just need to find the video of Shaq laughing at the thought as he runs down the list of contenders (not just teams but contenders) he bounced around to. James shouldn't have left Cleveland the first time (in terms of the merit of this argument) bc the story of him being drafted by the home team and bringing Cleveland relevance was just too good. But once he did, none of the other bouncing around really matters. Honestly, going back to Cleveland is the only place that moves the needle, and in a feel good way. If he had run to the Spurs or Thunder, there may be a point but this is just hate.

Agree... he couldn't go anyway but Cleveland.

Also I know the thread is locked. But we are talking about situations that have been talked about.
