Sergeant Zip Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 When asked Wednesday about various reports that James could opt out of his Miami Heat contract and return to Cleveland "With LeBron," Dambrot said, "anything is always possible."

Dr Z Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yaaawwwnnnn, another MVP for the kid from Akron. The worst-kept secret among NBA award recipients will be formally revealed Sunday when Miami Heat star LeBron James is named Most Valuable Player for the fourth time, league sources confirmed Friday. James has been voted MVP for the second straight season and for the fourth time in the past five years. He'll join Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain with at least four MVP awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I wish everyone had Mayor Plusquellic's sense of place and community pride. I remember how after graduating from Kenmore High he and his brother went on to extend their storied football careers at the University of Akron.

Blue & Gold Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I wish everyone had Mayor Plusquellic's sense of place and community pride. I remember how after graduating from Kenmore High he and his brother went on to extend their storied football careers at the University of Akron. He definitely loves Akron. I was on Waterloo Road/224 today in Springfield. There's a drive through with an old school bus parked out front. Half of the bus is painted red & silver w/ the words "Sloopy," while the other half of the bus is painted orange & brown w/ the words "Dawg." The bus epitomizes much of what ails Akron. The majority of Akron has been PWNED by Cleveland & Columbus to the point we've lost, as Zipmeister said our own sense of place/identity. The mayor is a lightning rod, for sure. But he's a fighter & would die for Akron. Long live The Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think we won't know until Sunday. LeBron is such a media whore that he will make his announcement at halftime of the World Cup championship game. It could possibly be the biggest TV audience of all time.

Dave in Green Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Announcing the decision at the World Cup wouldn't surprise me. Fox Sports documents why all the attention is deserved in a story entitled Does LeBron's Decision Deserve This Much Attention? YEP. The story points out that the 66 players named so far to the 2014 MLB All-Star Game have a combined Twitter following of 7.01 million while LeBron alone has 13.4 million Twitter followers.I don't believe the latest rumor today that Dan Gilbert's open letter from four years ago is still a sticking point with LeBron even if it may be with some in his entourage. LeBron is a bigger thinker than that. I agree with George Thomas who tweeted that he endorses Jason Whitlock's intelligent analysis in a story entitled LeBron's Pride Simply Not Important. Jason nails it when he writes that the wrong P-word is being tossed around in this saga -- it's Power and Progress that LeBron should be focused on, not Pride.We're in the middle of the changing of the fundamental power structure of the NBA, and LeBron is doing a good job of turning Akron into the center of the NBA universe.

Spin Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just imagine how big a circus it will be in two years...I don't see any of these guys signing for more than two years. Why? The CBA is up, and the teams are looking at a much higher salary cap because of the increased TV revenue. Which should also increase the amount of caish a maxed player makes.When a conversation on the Mike and Mike show makes Fox8 news, you know the world is going to hell.

Dr Z Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Biggest day in Cleveland sports history in my life...odd. David Blatt, the luckiest coach in the world. Can't wait to listen to the LBJ haters backtrack. Loved the SI article, well written. Interesting he didn't give it to ESPN. Even Pittsburgh sports writers were rooting for Lebron to end up back home. Vegas now favors the Cavs to win the NBA title at 4:1 !?!?Love that he didn't let the Cavs or Heat know first."James, his agent and advisors deeply considered how they wanted to release the message and decided they didn't want to make it about the Cavs or the Heat but about the people of Ohio. James wanted to tell them first, sources said."Dan Gilbert apologizes for letter written after LBJ took his talents to Miami. LBJ, bigger man than me.Manziel posted (I think he took it down, but they are airing it on ESPN) a photoshopped image of he and LBJ doing the money sign. Please LBJ, keep your distance from this tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Pittsburgh sports writers were rooting for Lebron to end up back home. Vegas now favors the Cavs to win the East!?!?I was never a LeBron fan even before the 2010 decision. However, after reading that article and how much he seems to have learned and matured, I'm now a fan. Born and raised in NE Ohio, I really appreciate the respect of this area that he published today. If you want to be so petty as to say I "backtracked" so be it. People make mistakes, learn, grow, forgive, and forget. It's human nature. Am I going to Cavs games now...No. However, I respect LeBron now and am happy for him and for Cavs fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
