Is anyone going to watch the LeBron On Larry King Live?

[lance99]

Just wondering, looking at the pics, I have no interest

[lance99]

sorry about the bad spelling in the title

[Dr Z]

I have it set to record on my DVR. I'm interested.

"...these fans, I mean, has given me a lot..." --LBJ

No, I don't care. But thanks for the notice, I wouldn't miss it for my life!

What interview are we talking about again?

[Spin]

I've already heard the transcript read to me several times.

It's a shame the Tribe is so stinking bad. This area needs something else to talk about besides The Saviahh. Talk radio is comlpetely unlistenable.

[Dr Z]

Got to watch the interview this weekend. Very good. Akron gets mentioned many times.

LBJ did a great job, he gives good answers and is easy to interview, Larry didn't mess it up.

My only problem with it, was the amount of times LBJ started his answer with "Absolutely"

Try getting a tape of it and play the Absolutely Drinking Game on a Friday night.

Nice.

Play it with Absolut vodka for bonus points

[zippyman23]

Did I watch it? Absolutely. I watched it. Absolutely.

Was it boring? Absolutely. It was boring. Absolutely.

The ABJ runs a story like this for LeAppreciation Day and you know nobody is going to show up. This is a joke and everyone involved should be ashamed. Bush League.

...you know nobody is going to show up. This is a joke and everyone involved should be ashamed. Bush League.

Four thousand people AND LeBron show up.

"Akron is my home, it's my life. Everything I do is for this city. I'm going to continue

to do great things. I love every last one of you all. Akron is home." --LBJ

Good job ignoring the entire story.

They expected 10,000 and got 4,000 to a FREE event to listen to the Mayor, Jim Tressel and sniff jock for a couple of hours. Most had left by the time LBJ arrived. This event was a silly disaster. I wish I could have been there to see it in person....I love a good trainwreck. A good poster on this board used to say about Zips football games, "It is Bush League all the way." This ass kissing fest was Bush League.

The really stupid thing about all of this is LBJ stands a good chance of resigning with Cleveland without all of this nonsense. The ass kissing is just too much for me. I don't even think LBJ likes all of the ass kissing and probably wishes it would all just stop once and for all. A part of me feels bad that LBJ has to put up with this nonsense. LBJ needs to make a professional decision about what is best for his brand. My belief is his brand works anywhere and Cleveland is just as good of a city as the next. I hope he stays. I hope that when he does stay, nobody believes LBJ Appreciation Day had anything to do with it. LBJ is a business and will make a business decision.

Everyone knows LBJ loves Akron. Is everyone around Akron so insecure they need a professional basketball player to tell them he loves their city for them to feel good about it? It is all so small time.

Another photo from the silly disaster.

I'm not a fan of the landscaping on this end of the stadium. Can't somebody make this look classy for a couple thousand bucks?

Give it some time. I'm sure the "organizers" of the event are using photoshop to fill in hillside as we type.

I'm not usually a fan of Bill Livingston, the sports columnist for the PD, but I think his column today nails it for me.

For LeBron James, there is no winning exit strategy in free agency: Bill Livingston

The team's hands are tied by the nice big bow James put on them by not speaking to Tom Izzo and not recruiting potential free agents. If there were not still the reasonable chance he might stay, the circumstances of the would-be defection and the resentment of the possible defector's conduct would have triggered a much more seismic backlash.

To leave money on the table, to spurn the hometown franchise that did everything possible to win while others razed their rosters to get the salary cap room to woo him, to exempt himself from responsibility for the mess that would be left behind, to hit a city suffering from the economy when it is down -- this would be to mock everything he has said about family and loyalty.

Is bringing an over the hill Shaq really trying to win or is it an example of bad management bringing in an old player with nothing left in the tank?

Is "Z" an example of trying to win or is he another hack the management brought in to make themselves look like they were trying to do everything they could?

The reason the Cavs didn't go anywhere is the talent level on the team isn't very good. Average talent + old guys+ one superstar = early exit from the playoffs. It's the freaking playoffs for crying out loud, not the regular season. Those that follow basketball can name a lot more teams with that equation that failed than those that found success.

Livingston is everything that is wrong with sports writers these days. He has a view of the world of sports that has long left the world of reality, if it even ever existed, years ago. Change and youth are difficult for guys like Livingston to accept. This is a terribly thought out article.

The decisions the Cavs made last off season were a disaster. LBJ shouldn't make his decision based upon what they did in the past, he should make it based upon what player decisions they will make in the future. New York makes terrible player decisions. Chicago is no better. Cleveland is the place for LBJ...they can make just as bad of decisions as the other teams.

The Cavs are about to announce Byron Scott as their new head coach.

This was on the Morning Jolt. I had never seen it before.

That's hilarious! Chris has to keep his women in check!

CP3 somehow managed to talk LeBron into joining Twitter. I'm almost shocked that @kingjames wasn't taken by an impostor years ago.

This is one of the better parodies I've seen on the LeBron James Facebook Page
