I'm from Canada, so I'm not bias towards any particular State or City in America. Charles Barkley and others definitely makes the TNT broadcast entertaining to watch. Barkley didn't have to talk bad about LeBron's decision b/c he wasn't in LeBron's shoes to know what he was going through to make that decision. I guess Barkley and LeBron has a grudge towards each other, so there will be negative things said about each other if they don't work it out.
I don't have anything against Michael Jordan, but he seems to not like LeBron's decision either when he said, "There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team, " but later said, "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys." I have a good point here: What about Boston's trio? Why didn't Jordan say anything about Pierce, Garnett and Allen getting together on one team? If your gonna talk about about Miami's trio, then talk about Boston's trio too who decided to get together first.
That's like a typical sports game, b/c the referee doesn't see the first guy who started the shoving, but when the other guy shoves him back, then the referee sees it and he gets in trouble when he didn't start it. For example, in last NBA playoff game in OKC, Dirk shoves Westbrook, and he pushes him back then what happens? Westbrook gets a technical foul, and Dirk didn't get any consequence for his action.
