State of LeBron: Live at 9, from his ego - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

I was a fan of LeBron ... but he's making Kobe look humble.

I was reading that article earlier today.

Like I said in the Lebron thread, ultimately it comes down to whichever team King James feels he can hold hostage to the greatest degree.

You just know he is soaking in every moment of this.

Latest reports have LeBron going to Miami.

With all of the players leaving the West (Boozer, Amari) it looks like the Lakers will have a cake-walk to the finals next year and will most likely be facing Miami (if LeBron goes there).

The Lakers MAY want to consider getting some more scorers to come off the bench.

Starting to seem some LeBacklash.

Rumor has it, he's really going to Denver, to play with the Broncos. Meanwhile, the Heat are going to sign Tim Tebow.

Personally, I was hoping that hometown loyalty might have kept LeBron in Cleveland. I really feel sorry for those poor fans.

Checking out the comment boards on the Plain-Dealer's website, it looks like it is now safe for Art Modell to come back. He's no longer Public Enemy Number One.

Is it any surprise that ESPN didn't have the actual announcement until about 40 minutes in, and not in the first ten minutes, as was first said?

Indeed.

Mike Miller is apparently going to get Miami's mid-level exemption. That makes five guys, four of whom are good enough to start. Now the roster filling gets difficult.

If/when they do, look out. Miller will get tons of open looks and bury them. Bosh will have great rebounding numbers but I think he'll be hard pressed to average 16 points.

I think Steve Blake will be a great addition to the Lakers and better for the team than Luke Ridnour or Earl Watson would have been.

Maybe Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury along with Antoine Walker might play for the Heat for the minimum?

Wotan, steamboat, clinksalot, Forbidden Eye, TCaddillac, and cosita could get a ring, with the nucleus that's already in place...I would, but my mid-range jumper needs work.

It appears that Derek Fisher has a meeting lined up with Pat Riley tomorrow.

I'll be devastated if he ends up signing with them.

Meanwhile, did you all see footage of the rally at Miami Arena on Friday? Talk about over the top hubris!

[steamboatpete]

Fish is back.

With D-Fish back to the Lakers, now we can welcome in Steve Blake who is eager to play for the Lakers off the bench.

Now the Lakers are pursuing Raja Bell. Kobe is suppose to meet him today to talk about it while the Lakers are still talking to Shannon Brown who wants to come back.

And Illgauskas has left Cleveland and joined Lebron in Miami.

Next years finals appears to be a Lakers-Heat Matchup.

I am sure that those two got together with Kobe, and conspired to play on the same team. They both hosted a one-hour special on one of the 17 all-shopping channels, to announce their "decision" to a breathlessly waiting world.

Is it possible for me to hate the Celtics any more than I do?

Oh yes, it is possible.

I remember posting last year when the Lakers lost Ariza that Barnes is a better player than him.

So this totally made my day!

LeBron Misses Shots, Heckled At Ohio Theme Park

Lebron went to Cedar Point, thought he was going to dominate on the basketball midway games but shot mostly bricks and lost to a teen in the 3 point shootout.
