though he might need a "reality check". I tink our sentiments would be very different if he was on our team.

I'm 24, Lebron is 25. I read this story, and I dont think he's that much different from how my peers would act if they made $45 mill a year. how many college kids blow hundreds of dollars on drunken weekends and they make $20,000 a year?

simply, let him live. Both he and CP3 have a great track recrd of poducing o the court. and as a basketbal fan,thats all that matters to me.

Of course I'm rootng for the heat to lose, but if they win so be it.

Forget the fact how Ewing broke my heart when I discovered he was frequenting ATL strip clubs after playoff defeats.... when it would ruin my evenings.

I could care less if he was hanging out with harems in a persian palace.... It's just that something isn't right with this cat. Maybe it's his high school buddy acting like he's a power broker, or the fact that this crowd wants to act entitled, like they should reap the rewards of winning before they won anything.

Or maybe it's calling himself the KING, and talking about himself in the 3rd person.

Or maybe that his camp complained to ESPN and had them pull this story.

All I know is Lebron James is not mentally tough. We saw it when he stormed off the court without shaking hands, when he refuses to appear before the media afterwards, or when he wouldn't even accept fault after losing this year.... Or he pawned it off to being one of 4 bad games he's ever played.

FACT IS: this cat is not grounded on planet Earth. Not like his image has led people to believe. I guess when you live in public housing and your mom buys a hummer (instead of a house) that sort of manifests itself.

BUt this house of cards is built on sand.

And for Chris Paul to be such a FOLLOWER.

These are not the type of people you go to war with.

James would not handle NY. He wouldn;t crumble under the weight of expectations. Just sit back and watch what happens if he doesn't win this year. WATCH CLOSELY how he handles it.

NOt that ANYTHING in this story is inherently wrong. Just something amiss with the excess of it all.

But shouldn't he be working on his game all summer? Shouldn't he be spotted at universities all over the country shooting around and getting better like his boy Mike Miller?

I would not be surprised if Mike Miller was hungrier than LeBron for a championship. No doubt LeBron wants to win, but definitely doubting his focus on winning it all.

I DO NOT WANT CHRIS PAUL on this team. NO WAY!

Stay the course, play the kids, and sign MELO to the max.... Then go beat-pound-humiliate these chumps.

Hubris is never a good thing. These kids are warped by MTV. Should read a Greek tragedy (or two) to gain some sort of moral bearing.

I think we dodged a bullet here folks. Had Lebron signed in NY, he would make AROD look like the man of steel.
