    Good luck to him, but I have a feeling his ego won't sit well no matter where he goes.

    Tony you might have embraced his ego if he even had the misfortune of signing with that team from Chicago.

    Then you don't know Chicago fans. Ego's don't fly well around here, and the ones with them don't last long.

    I said earlier his ego was going to get in the way of the team.....I was spot on given recent news.

    Chicago fans are no different than anywhere else, but you keep believing that if it makes you feel better. :D

    Baloney, name me one on any of our teams that has an Lebron type ego.

  • ^^No Chicago team has talent good enough to warrant a Lebron type ego.

    Except may be hockey?

    Baloney, name me one on any of our teams that has an Lebron type ego.

    Now or ever?

    Both.

    Lets see....we had a pretty darn good basketball Team in the Jordan era. Any ego's there ? Hockey team....they won a few championships themselves, any ego's there ? Baseball....Cubs won a world series, any ego's on that team ? Sox's ? Bears ? The only one that comes close is McMann from the 85 bears, he had an ego, and we hated the dude, still do.

    Lebron's ego is his downfall. Cleveland to Miami, back to Cleveland, now in L.A., and he'll move on from there.

    No, he didn't. He was always humble, on court or off. Privately, he might be a d-bag, I dunno. He was always very good at protecting his brand....his name.

    His public life though, never showed a Lebron type ego. Maybe the best gauge, is to ask hometown fans how they feel about anyone of their athletes. Ask Cleveland fans how they feel about Lebron, and Chicago fans about Jordan.

  • Cleveland Fans love Lebron, still do. He made amends when he came back and won them a championship. So there is your answer.

    Dennis Rodman fit in quite well for second half of the championship runs by the Bulls. Despite the bad boy history with the Pistons, Chicago embraced him, his ego, and his talent wholeheartedly. He was an integral part of those last 3 championships.

    Rodman....I'll give ya that one. Though he was never "embraced". Maybe more so a means to an end. Nobody cried when he left.

    Mack....give me an example of this. I have not heard a peep about him saying crap about his team, how everyone else needs to play up to his level, how they aren't that good without him.....stuff like that.

    I think that no player should be allowed to leave any given team on their own. The team owner should have full discretion about when a player leaves. Kinda like a good ole boy system to ensure things run smoothly.

    C'mon man, seriously ? Maybe you shouldn't be able to leave your job without the owners permission. It's a job, they get paid to do a service. They have a contract for that service outlining terms and conditions/pay.

    What your advocating there is basically slavery.

    I'm not, your basically saying an owner of a team should own the players, period. Deny them the right to move freely, unless they have permission from the owners.

    You think they would get paid what they do, if the owner had the option to keep them forever ? Think about what you said pal....

    I'm basically saying no such thing. You're trying to make something out of nothing. But that's just you, I guess.

  • Ohio boy and big time Cleveland sports fan here...guess what we love Lebron. He knows he’s great, obviously, but he is one of the best team players ever, completely unselfish on the court, to a fault really. Off the court he is a family man, philanthropist, and a positive role model to our youth. Anyone who has played with with him, would tell you he is the hardest worker on the team , always the first to show up and last to leave.

    He continuously shows good sportsmanship too, and, has earned the respect of almost every player, coach, and official in the game.

    Ego problem, gimme a break. He’s a generational talent, it’s confidence he displays not ego.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky.
