Awesome.

Looking at this situation in a vacuum I'd say that yes, Lebron would've done well to have refrained from comment. However, I agree with Hova's opinion that the Cavs had a huge hand in creating the Lebron monster by catering to his every whim.

More than anything it should serve as a lesson to all sports franchises that you should not place any one athlete above the collective interest of the team...no matter how individually talented he may be.

And yes Zack...I agree that Twitter comments are way overblown.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

yeah, actually the players are the ones that deserve all this shit. they're the ones that deserve it. for being pussies and laughing and joking w/ Lebron while they're team is getting pummeled. For losing by 55 to the Lakers last night. they shouldn't get a free pass

Hello friend

Agreed

Because it happens to represent a sample size of what people...sports fans like yourself...are thinking. In this thread we have what...10 opinions of LeBron? 10,000 is of more significance than 10. Overall, people are split down the middle on what to think of LeBron.

And you're pretty dumb if you truly didn't know why an opinion poll would be posted.

It ain't a contest.

I'm sorry, do you view yourself above a sports fan that goes to ESPN.com? May I ask how or why?

What, in your all-knowing opinion, is the value of a poll if not to give an example of what a group of people are thinking?

yes, actually I do view myself as above a sports fan that goes to ESPN.com. I'd like to think that you are too, but I'm not sure. I view CSFMB as a whole as people who are much more interested in sports (in general) as the average person

here's a homework assignment: go look at some various articles on ESPN.com and look at the comments posted. These are the type of people that are responding to the polls. further, who the hell responds to a poll ? or a text question on a broadcast? maybe if you were 11 years old. sure, 10,000 is a lot of people but it represents what, maybe .0000000001% of fans? can you vote twice in the poll? could you vote as much as you want? it's not just ESPN, I don't put much value in any kind of poll because the data can be easily manipulated and sample sizes are usually pretty small. lastly, lets say the I think ESPN polls are the greatest thing ever. Cool. So opinion is split 50/50. so what's your conclusion? that some people like Lebron and some don't? why don't you tell us your own opinion and discuss it rather than regurgitating some useless polls stats

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Online polls are not scientifically accurate at all. They are just meant to be a thing to get your reader engaged in your website. The results are not failrly accurate.

So far...

It's still early. Cairo has plenty of time to turn this around...

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Your logic is flawed. I will address it as well as I can.

To start off, I do view myself as a more knowledgeable sports fan than most. I do not base this on what sites I visit. I look at ESPN, blogs, message boards, etc... The people who comment on these sites are allowed to have opinions, whether they are far-fetched or shared by the masses, just as much as you and I are. Take now, for example, CNN.com. Have you ever seen the bile that is the comments section on that site? Are now ALL people who go to CNN.com morons? Is it guilt by association? Are suddenly all articles, polls, and content in general on CNN.com invalid?

A poll question presented on a website is answered by many people. Texts on broadcasts not so much I'd imagine. Don't we have polls on this site? Don't we have idiots like whistler responding to them? Does that negate your opinion? My opinion? The results of the poll? No it doesn't.

Also, I'm known fairly well around these parts for giving my opinion, and giving it often. However, in some rare cases (more than you think), I do not have an opinion. LeBron James...how does he affect me in my day to day life? Does he change how I view sports or the team I root for? Nope, not at all, in any fashion. He is a fucking basketball player with (!!!) opinions of his own, and he has no problem making those known as well. Big fucking deal. Is he a villain because of this? I don't think so. Do I have a problem with people viewing him as a villain? Nope.

However, I do like knowing that just about as many people view him as a villain than don't. It's interesting.

Just like you lumping all people who use ESPN.com together because x amount of people on there are idiots.

Thank God I'm a bit more logical than you or you'd call me racist.

In addition, I find it quite telling that the above was your only response to my post.

I've brought 10,000 opinions to the thread. To save you the trouble of math, that is 9,999 more than anyone else. If your superiority complex is ignoring those...everyone can formulate their own opinions on how to treat your own.

However, in some rare cases (more than you think), I do not have an opinion. .

It ain't a contest.

and if there's anything more useless than tweets...it's blog reader comments.

Awesome.
