Heard LeBron is a real lousy tipper btw!

yeah.... and he treats the server poorly requesting things that are not on the menu, then always sending it back. this is usually around 10 minutes before close. he tips around 10%

Had a buddy work at some restaurant in Cleveland, forget the name, but it was a steak house. He said Lebron and his entourage came in yup, 10 minutes before closing also. Said the manager said its ok, and made the cooks and staff stay till about 1:30 am. It was about 8 guys in the group and the bill came to about $1100 or so. The server said he got tipped a $10 bill with his signature on it. He was pissed and quit on the spot the same night.

I don't follow basketball very closely, but I did read a piece in the NY Post that was very interesting. They predicted he would go to Miami well before any announcement was made. New York was actually the first team they crossed off the list because playing in NY would cost him approx $12 million in taxes more than playing in Miami. The article also said staying in Cleveland would cost him somewhere between $5-$7 million more in taxes... Kinda makes me wonder if his choice had anything to do with sports at all...

That's terrible, what goes around comes around.

I'm not saying what he did was wrong, when it comes to keeping or losing millions of dollars... I don't blame the guy. I don't understand why everyone gets so bent out of shape because a guy went somewhere else for more money. It's just like any of us here. If we got offered a job in the same field somewhere else for that much more money, well I'd be jumping at the chance too. He is just a basketball player, it's not like the entire team left town...

I think it would be very funny if the guy who already wears #6 in Miami told him to pound sand, he's keeping his jersey number.... but probably won't happen.

All in all he's just a total douche. I'm fine with that all though, because LA isn't gonna let either team win a championship

iduno.. its just that he spent years talking about loyalty to his home town and how he wants to bring a winning team and a championship to NE ohio, yadda yadda yadda... then he jumps ship. the town feels lied to.

Well, I'm going to stick up for him like I would any company that moves their operations to save money... He did not violate anyone's rights, so more power to him. He is saving millions by moving to FL where there is no state income tax... Of course he could have picked Dallas! Texas has no income tax either! hehe

The money had nothing to do with his choice of teams. The contract the Cavs could offer would be about 35 mil more than any other team could offer and that would more than cover the difference in state income tax. This was strictly a "I want a championship and will do anything to get one" move. What do you expect he grew up as a Yankees fan. I am a die hard Cavs fan and I admit that when I saw him say Miami I was pissed but I think the Cavs can now build a better team without him. For the last 7 years all they did was bend over backwards trying to make LeBron happy and got the players that he wanted without any consideration as to how they would fit in the team. The guys a douche bag and I for one am not going to loose any sleep over him leaving.

Speaking of sports douche bags who treat others badly ...say hello to Steve Smith-Carolina Panthers-a nasty piece of work with a heart of coal , a soul full of hate and arrogance , and just a LITTLE human being as far as human beings go. Pi_ss poor attitude off the field and I'm surprised he's not cross eyed from looking down his nose at people. Just sayin ...

Kuzi, we totally agree on Lebron. The whole thing was a joke, the only thing to make his news conference worthwhile to me would have been if Jack Kevorkian were there. My ex-girlfriend knew Lebron personally from the school up there, and also said he was a jerk.....on the bright side, I really think this team will have a very tough time wiining any titles, because there will be a lot of ego in that lockerroom and not enough shots to go around. Wade may back down, but Lebron and Bosh's egos cannot allow that. O r maybe I just hope they fail, lol

Funny you posted that cause when i was watching i found out he is from your hometown and was curious what you thought of that!

Ok. So i know he said this is a business decision, but like dustin said he is going to take a $30-40 million cut playing there. the state tax would only be about $7-12 in the end. he did this to get himself handed a trophy. he isnt playing for the love of the game anymore, not like anyone does anyway, but he is playing for the fame and the media. i was almost convinced he would stay in cleveland just because he said just 3 short weeks ago we had the edge for him. oh but did you see who influenced his final decision? HIS MOM!?!?!?!?!?!?! how the h e l l does that make any sense? this guy stabbed us in the back when it was convenient for him to pick up and leave. i am disappointed because of the fact that Florida has beaten Ohio in almost everything. it is unbelievable that they now have lebron. to be honest its embarrassing living here. i hate it sometimes just because of how cleveland sports plain and simple sucked until lebron. then we had something to look forward to with him. i followed him for his last four years here. and for what? him up and leaving without so much as a thank you? wow some guy huh? i know what Gilbert said was harsh but come on you are telling me you wouldnt be the exact same way if he screwed your team like that? he made us wait until the very end of the free agency for his decision. that was harsh from him. cleveland got screwed now in not being able to have any of the good players that WERE available. now we are in a rebuild phase. like normal. i really do hate living here sometimes when this sh*t goes on. but hey its cleveland we get stabbed in the back and pull it out and move on. we are just used to getting crushed every year. i guess the reign of good things for cleveland had to come to an end sometime. anyway hope everyone is doing well lol and have a good one.

I was born and raised in Kent Ohio. I am now and will always be, a Cleveland fan. Sure, I like and follow the Nuggets ans the Rockies(Broncos Suck!!!), but I love our Cleveland teams. I am ok with LeBron leaving. I think he could have at least worked with the team in the form of a sign and trade. Instead he walks, and they get nothing. It makes my wonder if the Nuggets will trade Carmello Anthony, or will they let him walk too. I hope they learned their lesson with Mutumbo, and trade him while he still has a high value. OH well, it might be fun to root against Queen James for a change. GO BROWNS!!
