LeBron proving once again that"Its all about me" with him.

I think this makes it almost clear now that he's staying in Cleveland and just a way to tell everyone how he checked around but in the end nothing felt like home/Cleveland. Just a way for him to eat up the attention...

I've watched this guy from the start and I don't see why guys get this impression of him. For a young guy, I think he's pretty mature, professional and handles himself very well. Guy doesn't run his mouth and say stupid things to the media. For all the media attention he's received, I'd say I'm quite impressed with how he's handled himself.

Also, the entire circus surrounding him is media driven and ESPN is the big culprit. For god's sake, they did a countdown to the beginning of free agency on their network. He can't control what they discuss.

He's having a one hour special on ESPN called The Decision to let everyone know where he's going.
No he's not an ego-driven media whore LOL

I can hardly wait what a primadonna he is


Not just him, I just bet that the empty suits out of Clown University in Bristol Ct. went up to LBJ and said "hey, we have an idea, let's go on primetime, and make this a real three ring circus"

The only thing missing would be the dancing elephants and the seals with the beach balls on their noses.

mark my words I bet you most of the time is going to be spent, him thanking the fans of Cleveland and paying a tribute to them and talk about how the proceeds of this event are going to charity ( all to soften the blow )

than announce he is leaving.

If he was leaving he would have leaked it slowly with hints. Not clobbered Cleveland over the head with it in a shocking hour long ESPN special. I'd like to see him go anywhere else, but he's staying.

think that is what the hour long special is for. to soften the blow and pay tribute to the fans of Cleveland.

you dont need an hour long event with proceeds going to charity just to announce your coming back. think about how disgruntled this guy was in his presser after being eliminated from the play offs, he wanted nothing to do with the Cavs. Now all the sudden he is coming back and holding an hour long event to appease the Cavs...dunno bout that.

also think about the long term. Broussard actually just said something that made sense for the first time. Lebron is worried if he stays in Cleveland in 6 years he still may not have a ring. Staying really limits his options and puts everything on his shoulders that much more to where as if he went to say the Knicks...the long term situation is much much better with Amare and even more cap space clearing next year being able to sign another max free agent or joining Bosh n Wade in Miami or the the baby Bulls.

long term the Cavs make the least sense.

all of what you just said would go out the window if he were to really screw around with cleveland's minds on thursday night and go to miami, ny, or chicago. This is agonizing enough for all fans involved, but he would be really throwing a pie in cleveland's faces.

But why the hell would he stay in cleveland now when the other three teams look so tempting, especially miami?

No matter how much he would try to soften it, he would become the most hated man in cleveland for pulling a stunt like this. As big of an ego that he has, I'm not sure he has the heart to do that to cleveland and his home town. If he does, he's going to have a pretty bad image floating around him amongst players and other teams. Maybe Chris Bosh would've done this with more star-power, but not even Kobe thought about pulling this crap off.

why? why does he absolutely have to stay committed to Cleveland and if not hes a criminal? people make changes and move on in life....

Im not disagreeing with you cause I think thats how Cleveland will re act too but I also think its ridiculous.

hes staying in cleveland 100% obvious. no way he has a special to stab his hometown in the back. if he woulda left it woulda been done more quietly. i do think the charity thing is a cover for the ego in place though.
