Lebron to televise FA decision on Thursday

[Finkelskyhook]

Could the messiah be any more arrogant?  What a piece of excrement.  This is the reason he'll never win a championship no matter what any suckup owner surrounds him with.


Hope he ends up in Siberia.

[Rashi]

Ugghhh what are they going to talk about for an hour? If he stays in Cleveland I'm going to be mad.

Maybe they'll have the GMs on stage and give them time for a last minute pitch then have Ryan Seacrest "dramatically" eliminate one team every 10 minutes.

lol or they can apply the 'Weakest Link' concept, and eliminate one team at a time.

[RebusRankin]

An hour, he could have done a summer series ala The Bachelor.

[jackson_34]

first 10mins, Recap Lebrons season, FA speculation.

five minutes ad break

next 10mins, John Thompson interview spewing about what a championship would mean, akron etc...

five minutes ad break

next 10mins, Lebron timeline (from being a highschool sensation in akron to best ever player, ever. etc...)

five minutes ad break

I love akron, I'm staying here. I was never going to leave! (even though I have been stressing the entire ohio population by wearing new york caps, hinting at moving for the last two seasons.)

five minutes ad break.

Blegh.

[nickagneta]

Just more ball washing and ego boosting of NBA stars by the NBA hype machine, ESPN. I understand the desire to wanting to get a scoop and an exclusive of the LeBron decision, but a one hour LeBron suck up special??

Really??

I mean they do realize this is the same guy that has yet to win a championship, hasn't even been to the Finals in 4 years and if Wade and Bosh end up both in Chicago that he may never even sniff a championship, right?

I mean even Jordan, who's ego is still unchecked to this day, wouldn't go this far. This is ridiculous. I hope this guy NEVER wins a championship and goes down as the biggest post season choker of all time.

LOL! I haven't watched 'American Idol' in years...thankfully.

id rather watch star trek        

[Celtics Insider]

This guy's ego is just too high. This scum makes basketball players everywhere look bad. I don't care how good he plays, he's a ball hog, not a team player, and only cares about himself. And that is why he has no championships.

[winsomme]

This makes me think that he's staying in CLE.

maybe he is going to take a three year deal and still be able to sign a mega deal down the road.

In more Lebron news that makes me facepalm:

According to Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, ESPN was in talks with James about filming his planned free agency "tour", but talks ended when the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

All I can say is thank goodness for the Celtics.

[radiohead]

Unbelievable.

Thank goodness indeed.

Lame, lame,lame, lame, lame!

If I had a list of "All-Time Easiest TPs I've ever given", this probably would at least be Top 5. 

Anyways, I have a hard time believing Lebron would wait this long to re-sign with Cleveland.

[dlpin]

With this I am pretty sure he is staying with Cleveland. If he makes this much of a fuss to leave to another team he'd alienate pretty much everyone in his home state.

[bdm860]

After the hour he will probably announce his decision that he needs another weeks to decide his ultimate decision...I mean seriously, this is ridiculous.

And then after that, there will be advertisements for his pay-per-view special for his "real" announcement.
