What a classy, classy guy. Dude owed the city of Cleveland NOTHING and yet he apologized to the city for "The Decision."

I was never a big fan of "The Decision" and felt like he went about the whole departure the wrong way, but he didn't HAVE to apologize for doing the right thing.

I wonder if Cleveland will apologize to LeBron for wasting seven good years of his career.

:lol2::lol2: He's all class acting like he won the NBA title last night beating a old, broken down Celtics team that he could have beaten w/ Cleveland.

Congrats to the heat, I told you guys at midseason when you were slumping this team would be fine but please don't act like all is rightr w/ his decision to try to hop on wade's back for a championship.
 
Lord almighty junc, let it go. Dan Gilbert wasn't doing anything to make any situation better or easier for him. He said, this was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity for him. Him nor D-Wade ever denied that they were put together just to beat Boston. Thats exactly why this team was built. They finally got outta the shadow of Boston. They finally stopped beating themselves. Their one step closer to the O'Brien trophy and just got rid of the biggest obstacle that was in their way. People are allowed to have emotions. If all you take from this series is something that you call over-celebration then you already have your reservations with LBJ, Wade, and the Heat and there is absolutley no other reason to talk about this with you.

The biggest road block for both teams was the Celtics. If you really think that last years Cavs team could've beat this Celtics team then I have lost all faith in thinking that you know anything about basketball. Cleveland never played the type of intense D that Miami plays and although the win/loss column in this series doesn't suggest it, watching it tells a different story. The Celtics were the team to beat in the east and just like your Jets and the Pats, if Miami didn't play them to get to the Finals, it wouldn't have been right.

Its not like Lebron or Wade patented a catch phrase after this series

Any coincidence he only does this after the Heat are four games away from the Finals?

absolutley not cause he probably would have done the same thing if they played the Celts in the first round. This was their obstacle that they needed to overcome

He could ahve beaten this Boston w/ any of his Cle teams the past 3-4 years and he would have looked like a hero, instead he chose the easy way out. Again, congrats to all you Heat fans, this has nothing to do w/ you but to act liek lebron is all class now is beyond hysterical. He's getting what he wanted which was an easy way to a title.

They beat a broken down Celtics team, this was not some huge accomplishment. Sure it was nice to beat Boston(I was rooting for them b/c I hate Boston more) but this was not Boston from last year or a few years ago. They may not have gotten by a mediocre Knicks team if Billups and Stoudemire were healthy.
 
Watching the highlights it was embarrassing the way they acted. You brought up the Jets but they beat a team that was the best team in the NFL in the reg season w/ a QB who had 4 SB apps and 3 SB titles. The broken down Celtics have won just ONE NBA title(3 years ago) in 24 years and they were th 3rd best team in the EAST! What a pathetic celebration for a man who couldn't beat them w/ his team.
 
Whats your point about them being ranked the 3rd best team? The Celts are built for the playoffs, not the regular season. Regular season records are jokes. Chicago is going almost the distance with Atlanta and was in a dog fight with the Pacers and they have the best record in the NBA. If Chicago faces Boston in the second round, the Bulls woulda probably got bounced. The team with the second best record in the NBA was bounced by a team that never won a series. Two time reigning NBA champs get swept. Regular season means nothing but seeding.

This is not the Boston team from last year or a few years ago is the point. It's nice to beat them but this is not some multi championship team that needed to be slayed. This is the Lakers of the 00s, the Spurs of the 00s, the Bulls of the 90s,... Like I said all last offseason there aren't any great teams, Mimai is building towards one and as these guys play together longer and add some better complimentary pieces they have a great shot to be a truly great team butThe Celtics, Lakers of recent years won championships but weren't truly great teams.

lolwut?

Did you even watch the last two games? Lebron was clearly the best player on the court. He took over the 4th quarter in both games. I love how when Kobe loses, its because he doesnt have any help (and that was true. His team played like ****). When Lebron teams up with good players to try win though, he is piggy-backing his way to a title.
 
The Bulls will certainly be no pushover but this was the team the individuals on this team and the team as a whole had to overcome. The whole reason they got together is because the Celtics proved that no one man show was going to ever beat a dominant defensive team in their repeated beatdowns of Lebron's Cavs and Wade's Heat. The same thing the Bulls are going to find out unless Boozer suddenly becomes a dominant force.

absolutley not but the Bulls weren't the team that repeatedly eliminated the Heat or Cavs. Paul Pierce doesn't play for the Bulls and last time I checked, nobody on the Bulls team poked at James as much as Pierce has.

Too many dookies on the Bulls, it's a proven fact that if you have a duke player on your roster your odds of winning an NBA Title decrease by 2,000%:D
