    She is. LeBron is phony and transparent. He also doesn't have the drive to win championships relative to the elite players he is compared to. He is more concerned with his image and reputation. Now he can go back to being a "savior," and give his wife what she wants in the process. I'm sure she wears the pants in that family anyway.

      Agree with all that but don't think his wife had as much as Shari thinks to do with it. He can make her happy in the process like you said, but he does what makes him look best, like you said.

        u do realize he joined the cleveland cavs right?
        u all acting like he just joined the OKC thunder or the LA clippers
        the cavs are shit, i dont care how many #1 picks they have
        if u were to line up the teams in the east in order championship potential, the cavs would be near the bottom

        im gonna give the man some credit
        of all the teams that were on his list, the cavs were by far the worst
        just look at the roster, its not that good

          I think Kyrie is extremely overrated but the Cavs do have three, now four number one picks on their team. Along with two number four picks...now that doesn't mean shit but they have talent and are very young. Some of those guys may not be good now but bring LeBron in and he can make them all look that much better.

          I hope they keep Dion around, he's like a younger Wade and LBJ can bring out his full potential. Dion is a baller, he will only up his game when given the chance. He has the attitude to make it.

            Well it is true he would have zero rings but COMMON

              Cavs just need a three point specialist at this point...paging Ray Allen, James Jones or Mike Miller.

              Or two of the three, Jones will come on for cheap and you can get one of the others.

                miller is their best option, he can shoot, handle, rebound, pass and hes tall
                has any1 actually looked at the cavs roster?????
                they are not that good ..............

                  If the media didnt use the term best in the world over and over Im sure you wouldnt either as well as everyone else. Nobody ever used to describe MJ by those terms even though he was. Bron leaves quite a bit to be desired at times.

She never wanted to be in Miami at all and he never felt at home there so it wasn't as hard of a sell or shock for him to go back to Cleveland as some are making it out to be. The ring that matters in that relationship is the one on HER finger, not his.
                    How do you know he has side pieces.

                      does everything always need to be compared to MJ when discussing lebron?
                      whats the deal with that?
                      hes obviously the best player now and in near future

                        I hope Rae Carruth gets out in 2018 and buries Lebron in a trunk somewhere. NBA is a penetrating joke. I can't believe all these articles saying what a great dude he is to go back and his maturity etc, listening to the Cleveland radio talk shows these people that are so called fans happy he's coming back, its disgusting. If I were from that area I'd tell him to take his ass back to miami and show my support for the young kids they have going in that organization.

                          Lebron quit on Miami (on the floor) and will quit on Cleveland. Proven quitter all over!

                            It's sad that this Draft was over shadowed by the free agency madness. So much potential and all we had to hear about is lebron's over-glorified exit strategy.
                            The media is making him out to be a hero because he's going home, when in reality he's quitting on another flat team.
                            We're supposed to respect him when he ditched cleveland and promised someone else longterm championships? Then bails on them once the heat "dynasty" was exposed? ... I'm not buying it


                            I like lebron as a player but this is the reason why I'll never respect him as a man.

                              Notice how he just got slaughtered in the Finals by old man Tim Duncan and no one cares...no one even cares that the Spurs won...it's all speculation talk about LeBron...

                              LeBron continuing his pussified sellout mentality...as he has done for many years now...and no one cares...

                              By the time his career is over, the media will have convinced everyone that he's the greatest player in the history of sports. The brainwashing will be fully complete.

                                Like what? What more could you possibly want from him as a player? He's been the best player on 5 teams that went to the finals already. Some great players only get there once or twice. I get it, he's not jordan. But, there's only one Jordan.

                                Don't get why people get so amped up either way about him or any other player for that matter switching teams. He saw a better situation for himself and he took it both times. Don't know how that makes him a hero a villain, a coward, or quitter. Every other profession people would look down on you for not taking the better opportunity. Instead of having to carry an old team every night for the next couple of years, he gets to play and build with a group of young talented guys, at home. Good for him.

                                Do gotta say, hope whoever is on his pr team, gets a nice bonus. Told people exactly what they wanted to hear.

                                  i dont get it either
                                  how is it "manly" to stay on a failing team??
                                  why does management get the only say in ur career?
                                  the dude exercised his right as a free agent, whats wrong with that?

                                  he moved from a title contender and top shelf franchise like the heat
                                  to the exact opposite in the cavs
                                  lebron isnt exactly front running with the cavs, they suck

                                      Can u please explain to me who Lebron made better in their careers? If u really think about it Bosh got worse and Wade is now what he is. Chalmers is getting worse. Haslem basically disappeared when Lebron got there. Allen was Allen. Battier got worse. Of course in Cleveland everyone was a bum except Lebron in most of ur eyes. So again who did Lebron make better? Birdman?

                                          Gibson had his one good year or two with LeBron in Cleveland. Chalmers sucks on his own, LeBron got him plenty of open shots that he just stopped hitting. Saying he makes them better, may not be the best term but he makes things easier for his teammates. It's up to them to take advantage of it.

Saying he makes them better, may not be the best term but he makes things easier for his teammates. It's up to them to take advantage of it.
                                            okay Gibson. Fair enuf lol.

                                                I honestly wanted to see lebron grow a young team.
                                                So much potential with Wiggins and would of been great to have lebron as a mentor.

                                                Now we have Miami 2.0 where Lebron bails and leverages appeal for star teammates.

                                                    You have a funny definition of stacked. Love, the white boy that has never even played a single playoff game after years in the league and Kyrie, another guy that has never sniffed the playoffs and is the most overrated 'star' in the NBA.

                                                    Cavs are the 4th or 5th best team in the league.. and Im being generous. Maybe they can be like the Bills and lose 4 championships in a row. They will never beat any team that comes out of the West.

                                                              Lebron made Damon Jones better too lol.

                                                              Cavs have no shot how are they even going to beat a team like Charlotte or the Wizards in the playoffs? If Derrick Rose just plays decent the Bulls are -2000 vs. Cleveland.

Instead of sticking it out to rebuild the team he bolts to the best possible scenario. The fact it happens to be Cleveland should matter zero, if this were the Cavs team from 10-11 there is NO way he'd be going back. Now everyone says it's 100% because he loves the city and all this whore shit. Now I'm a Houston fan like most know so him leaving gives us Bosh, I'm happy. But what in the hell is with all this love now ?

Those guys got old so he jumped ship again, this time for an (potentially) even better/younger big 3. Lebron James is a phony who will sell out anything and anyone.
