Charles Barkley on LeBron: 'the one hour decision was a punk move'

[rico6]

So your saying Lebarbeque is going to bomb in Miami?

Well alright!

I'm not sure if the 3 can learn to play together and share the same court.

LeBron could have easily donated the money to a charity without a 1-hour special. Now THAT would have been something. Instead all he did was show up and get money from advertisers, not out of his own pocket or anything, boy that was a lot of work. It wasn't about the charity, it was about him being who he is and wanting the spotlight. And no, the Lakers are definitely not my 2nd team.

Charles Barkley was drafted by Philly in 84 to a team that featured HOFer Dr. J and HOFer Moses Malone both of which are better than D Wade & Chris Bosh. No championship though. LOL.

They went to the eastern conference finals his first year and the 2nd year Moses didn't even play at the end of the year. Dr. J was also at the end of his career. A rookie, an old guy, and an injured guy. How is that even close to comparable to Lebron joining two guys in their prime? Not to mention the 3rd best player in the league. Do you ever research anything or is it just i love lebron, i love lebron, i love lebron, i love lebron all the time? You highlight him leaving because of early exits and missing the playoffs all together. Cavs won 65 games this year. Its not like they weren't trying to put people around him. He just couldn't win in the playoffs so he bailed to a team with 2 all-stars in their prime so it can look like it was Cleveland's fault and not his.

King Taharqa: lebron is gay and john wall an derrick rose will win more championships.... ON THEIR OWN

99% of the people who bitch about the "one hour special", watched it, and or followed every second of his free agency this summer that led up to it. Go pull up the old threads when it was going on. LOL. Same goes for the media, ESPN, yahoo, the papers, etc all these dudes made money off of exploiting LeBrons free agency, now they want to stand on a high horse and act like they had nothing to do with it. LOL. 99% of the people bitching on this board would be on their knees if LeBron joined their team, but since he didnt, he's a bitch. LOL. LeBron thanked Cleveland and his owner that day on ESPN and credited them for giving him unconditional support (watch the tape again haters), only for them to turn around and act like they made him and not the other way around. And worse of all, claim LeBron pooted on Cleveland and their owner. LOL. LeBron has kept his nose very clean unlike so many other athletes so for his haters this is pretty much the first and only chance they've had to pile on him the past 7 years.

What, LeBron did the most unprofessional thing possible... he went on t.v. to say where he was going, who the fug does that he's a self centered piece of poo.

please if steve smith went on to national t.v. telling he's going to take his talent up to Atlanta on NATIONAL T.V., please you would weep with tears... crying all night... all day... what he did was........ very unprofessional, why couldn't he at the start to say he was going to Miami....................... but noooooooooooooooooooooooooo..... he had to have A 1 HOUR special on a 5 second decision.

I hope he never wins championships... I always knew people from Cleveland were backstabbers and asswipes (Lebron, Modell, others ect)

An old guy, an injured guy? LOL Moses Malone is a 3 time MVP/HOFer who's career did not end in Philly. Dr.J is a 4 time MVP/HOFer who is a top 20 player. D Wade & Chris Bosh are not on that level son. Philly was 2 years removed from an NBA Finals when he got there. Point is, Charles Barkley came into the league on a much more talented team and when his teams were not talented, demanded trades PUBLICLY. He is a HUGE hypocrite that is rightfully getting called out for this crap. This is a guy that NEVER won a title, telling people LeBron has to win at least 2 for it to count. This is the guy that Scottie Pippen admitted after going to Houston that Jordan told him it was a mistake because "Barkley win never win a title he doesnt have the focus". Now he wants to lecture about how to win one? Kiss my ass.

As opposed to I love Kobe I love Kobe? I go to Cavs games but I pull for the Lakers? Im a LeBron "fan" but I want the Lakers to win it all? I love LeBron but anytime someone disses him, I join in, and if they diss my boyfriend Kobe, I give em the business. I respect Laker fans on this board who admit they are Laker fans. Because I know where they stand and I understand their biases. What I dont understand is why you try to play the fence when your posts clearly show you are a Kobe/Laker fan. You are not a fan of LeBron, and thats OK. Just stop acting like you are partial when you clearly are not.

Cleveland's front office failed. They didnt put the adequate players around him to win. Tell me who on the Cavs stepped up in the playoffs this year? Name me 2 guys besides LeBron that stepped up? Only reason they won 65 games was because of LeBron. They wont win half that this year. What moves has Cleveland made since LeBron's departure? Why did their team accept a sign and trade with LeBron if he quote "didnt let them know his decision ahead of time"? Why did their GM resign?

It was Cleveland's fault. They suck and they are a bunch of frauds and frontrunners. If the fans dont sell out every game this season and stick wit the Cavs despite them barely winning 30 games next season, we'll see who was real and who wasnt. We'll all see how LeBron made that city, he made that team, without him they are nothing.

If Steve Smith went on national TV and said he wanted to leave I would still have the same respect for him that I have now. You know why? Because I understand his job is to entertain me, not be my slave simply because he's from the same state as the team I pull for. Julius Peppers is from NC, he just left the Panthers and came out and said he wanted a change of scenery. I remain a Panther fan, but I still respect Julius and have no hate for him. People who turn on players that switch teams are not "fans" of said players, they are "fans" of said teams. Many Packer fans still admire and love Brett Favre despite all he put them thru, and the fact he plays for a divison rival. They are 20 times classier than these bums in Cleveland. You dont see their owner doing what Gilbert did or Packer fans burning Favre jerseys. Thats the difference between class and being an ass.

LeBron donates money to charity all the time. He has his own charitable organization. He always gives back to his hometown of Akron and has donated money and time to Cleveland too. Doesnt matter though, because you'll always just say there's an ulterior motive to it and he really doesnt mean it. Meanwhile, your charitable contributions will be a mystery to us all.

Lebron's gay... He wouldn't donate to charity if he wasn't famous... let's face it.... he does it for his image.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Lebron wouldn't donate to charity if he were a normal dude, but Kobe would probably still be a rapist.

Only he'd be in prison for even having the allegations surface.

You hella stupid.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

I'm not stupid enough to use the word hella.

Or be a rapist apologist.

[dixontosanders]

Is it just me or is Lebron ugly? I can look at John Wall and Derrick Rose and not puke, but when I look at Lebron, there's something just vile about him...

... I though superstars from sports were suppose to be somewhat good looking.

Maybe this is homo talk, but I'm no Homo, just want to see if others agree with me lol
