How does Worldwide Wes get Lebron away from Maverick?

[DC]

i think there is some truth to that...living in DC i constantly hear the race card being played when its not really the case but I do feel part of the media/public anger over this is the fact 3 young black men took over the control/power of the sport for the summer.

The decision special itself was stupid but the anger by some since is crazy. Read about how they gave up money so Haslem could stay. As fans sometimes we are awful hyprocrites.. We blast guys going to the yankees blabbing its all about the $$. Yet here 3 guys take less to play together to win and they still get blasted. Yet everyone would love it when brady took less to bring new guys onboard earlier in his career.

Lebron gets blasted for the tv special....and rightfully so. He should have just shown up the day before with Bosh and Wade and made the announcement.

His people could have saved him a majority of the hostility (outside of Ohio) had he appeared the slightest bit humble in the process. Instead he led a bunch of teams through useless "recruiting visits" just to stroke his massive ego.

I guess when you have a bunch of rings you can act like that....oh

I disagree with you there KW... While these guys wanted to play together since olympics i dont believe it was a done deal at time of recruiting visits. Even steven a smith who reported what was going to happen before anyone at espn said for about a week Bosh was resisting not taking the max because he did not have the off court $$$ coming in that the others did. I actually thought lebron was less of an ego maniac then if he made a big production going on a city by city tour..

I agree the tv special itself was awful but something tells me if he had hinted of a desire to come to boston and battle kobe in a coast to coast showdown like bird/magic and the green let pierce go to make it happen none of you would be complaining about how he treated cleveland.

ESPN continues beating the race card drum on OTL. Broussard just said Brett Favre does what Lebron did every year and people "laugh it off" but they hate Lebron. Don't let the facts get in the way Chris.

I hate Favre way more than I hate Lebron.

[tballa55]

Byron Scott is a nazi.

[rearadmiral]

That's funny/awful.

[Pokey Reese]

[DC]

Sick future...

Last year's rookie of the year usually is tweaking his opponent's ankles. But lately he's having some trouble with his own. Evans tweaked his ankle badly enough in Team USA practice to miss the team's trip to the FIBA world championships. Then in last night's game versus the Lakers, he rolled not one, but two ankles. From the Sacramento Bee :

"I turned this one on a fast break on (Lakers guard) Steve Blake, and I twisted it," Evans said, pointing to his right ankle. "On the next one, I came down on (Lakers center) Theo Ratliff and twisted it. The left one hurts more."

Evans said it's just something he deals with his style of basketball, but three injuries inside three months is still enough to make you twist in your seat a touch. It's basketball. Ankles get rolled. It happens. But the only thing that could stop Evans on what looks like a meteoric rise to superstardom is injury, and particularly injuries to the legs that let him get to the rack so easy. Let's hope this is a blip and nothing to look back on and go "Oh."

The Bullets naming John Wall as captain makes it hard for me to be a lifelong Thunder fan this year.

That.

Is.

Awesome.

What a pathetic franchise.
