magley64 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Disagree with you here Duane. He's only 25.... Entering his prime. This next 5-6 years with the Heat should coincide with his skills & physical prowess peakingI don't think his knee or elbow will ever heal. (the reason's he sucked so bad this year compared to last) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) I don't think his knee or elbow will ever heal. (the reason's he sucked so bad this year compared to last)statistically speaking it was his best year yet I also am one of the conspiracy theorists that think his elbow injury was either fake or he over dramatized the shit out of it as his excuse why he didn't win a championship in Cleveland. I mean he straight gave up and the rumors that this move with the 3 of them has been orchestrated for 2 years seem to hold some weight with me after him giving up because if he actually won, he wouldn't have his excuse to leave Edited July 9, 2010 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that dude Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Duane your a fucktard, so sick of your stupid ass comments. He's entering his prime now, he's young and will heal just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I love this post on Yahoo.com Sports.****************21. Posted by Richie Thu Jul 08, 2010 11:18 pm EDT Report AbuseLook.... LeBron gave it a great try at Cleveland for 7 years and it simply didn't happen. In pro sports your useful lifetime is very limited so you can't hold it against anyone for moving on while there is still time on the play clock. Like most true pros he wants to be able to win the big one and his choice to go to the Heat makes all the sense in the world. And remember he is not going there just to be with 2 other stars. At last count there were always 5 team members on the court no matter what team you played for.****************Funny...there was plenty of time left on the play clock when he quit playing in the playoffs. LOL!!I was talking to a coworker who lives in Orlando. He was trying to get me worked up. I told him, "I don't know what you're all excited about. Superman and Orlando are going to spanked by the Heat for sure now." He didn't say another word. HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) ...because if he actually won, he wouldn't have his excuse to leaveNot sure I buy into that one either, unless he really doesn't have an ego. He would have been a hometown savior adored forever as St. LeBron that finally ended Cleveland's curse.... And he would have gotten 95% of the credit for himself, being the sole superstar, besides a past prime & oft injured ShaqNo matter how tempting to become the "new" triplets.... Don't know he could've/would've passed up on that kind of hero status/worship**Though I completely agree this has been in the works since the Olympics 2 years ago, when he also coincidentally short timed his contract/extension to coincide with Wade's & Bosh's Edited July 9, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win a championship and you have no where to go. Lay down against the Celtics and it became a "I did everything I could, and it wasn't happening". Perfect opportunity to cut and run like a pussy.Not sure I buy into that one either, unless he really doesn't have an ego.

This was a foregone conclusion and as has been said already the precise reason why he laid down against Boston. IF the Cavs would have won, the whole plan would have went down the shitter.

Bad324 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 unless my memory serves me wrong (which if it does someone please point it out)didn't they accuse him of betting against his own team but there was no proof and were actually betting sheets showing him betting for his team to win? Or was it just straight gambling on other MLB games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everybody can be an all knowing asshole, like some on here Yeah kids.... Like Dad said.... 'Ol Petey bet on the Reds.... While he was a coach & had complete control over their roster & starting lineups/pitching rotationsSoooo.... On the nights he wouldn't bet on the Reds, biggggg red flags would go off in the bookies offices, & he would affect betting against the Reds by his abstinenceWhen I was a kid, we all wanted to be Charlie Hustle layin' out head first, but now he just seems like a bitter, arrogant 'ol dBag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came clean and they still fucked him.I'd be bitter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
