Adrian Wojnarowski is about as reputable as it gets when it comes to NBA writers there is literally no reason to believe he would embellish any information or lie about anything. if you think otherwise then it's on you to provide some back-up you can't just say it's bullshit because the writer has enough credibility as it stands.

I read this yesterday, this is just crazy now and I got to say that its so funny how the people that were bigging Bron up one day or now trying to destroy him the next day.
Ok, Bron is not perfect and none of us are but, dude has done alot for the city of Cleveland and they basically made it like he should be with them forever.
Dude had Cleveland in the Playoffs 6 str8 years and took them to The Finals with a mediocre team. Who can say they did that in Cleveland?
And what if LeBron had decided to stay in Cleveland, would they have done all this shitting on him?
Because he didn't do what they wanted him to do, they are now trying to make him out to be the worse person ever!
Did any of those people even finish watching the special, he donated the money to the Boys & Girls Club but, of course they didn't care about that, they wanted to only talk about negative shit.
I remember David Stern talking about LeBron should have called or told Dan Gilbert before he made his decision.
Well the article said that Dan was called minutes before the show aired and Dan still acted like he was surprised! So how is Dan trying to act like he didn't know and he found out just like everybody else? They showed D Wade watching it and when LeBron said that he was going to South Beach, Wade looked like he was relieved, that was because he didn't know what LeBron was going to do.
But they saying that Wade and Bosh knew that LeBron was coming but, I do recall LeBron trying to talk Bosh into coming to Cleveland a couple of days before he made his decision to go to Miami and again, it wasn't a big topic that he tried to get people to come to Cleveland and play with him.
He wanted Amare, they didn't really make a big push to get him, he wanted a star caliber free agent to come to Cleveland and they didn't even try hard enough to get anyone to come to Cleveland and play with LeBron. LeBron saw that he was going to come back to the same team. If you want your biggest star to stay with the team, u should have went all out to get him help but, what did Gilbert do?
He fired The GM that has made Cleveland successful for 7 years and fired The Coach that was behind Cleveland's 5 year success, so u was going to have new management and a new coach with a new system on a old team, that is basically starting over again and LeBron wants to win a Championship.
He said that if he had signed a six year deal with Cleveland and they didn't do anything to help him, he would have been 31 with bad knees and still without a title, Bron wants a ring and he did what he had to get an opportunity to win one or more.
It's just crazy how everybody wants to "Out" LeBron now that he didn't do what they wanted but, I have a question, if LeBron had joined Wade and Bosh or Wade and Amare or Bosh and Amare in New York, Chicago, New Jersey or Los Angeles would people be this crazy about it ?
And it's funny how all of a sudden LeBron was the reason Mike Brown was fired but, ESPN said that LeBron said that the only way he would stay would be if Mike Brown was brought back, don't believe me?
Go to this video, , on youtube and listen to what Ric Bucher said at 2:08.

Im going to try to be as unbiased as possible. I like LeBron as a basketball player he is my favorite player in the league to be honest. I think Kobe is the better player at this point though. LeBron has too many yes men around him. Bron just needs to concentrate on basketball and improving one or two aspects of his game during the summer. If he becomes a better player and yes he still has a lot of room for improvement his game will speak for everything else. I do not have a problem with him leaving Cleveland I think he could have chose a more classy way to do it, but I don't fault him for leaving. I do think the fact that he chose the Heat somewhat says he might not have the Alpha personality of a MJ or Kobe, but LeBron is making his own destiny and not trying to be MJ or Kobe. I think that team will eventually win multiple titles when they get a few complimentary pieces and Kobe loses a little steam or retires. I think that once that happens he'll be seen as more of a hybrid Magic Johnson/Scottie Pippen player with the athleticism of a Dominique Wilkins.

The article does prove Bron is a little spoiled and a bit of a diva, but who didn't know that. Unlike many stars of the past he was anointed the savior "the next Jordan" of the league. Bron will get his titles and he will be considered one of the best when its all said and done. Time will go by people will forget and he will get his due just like they did with Kobe the rape situation then after he was seen as running Shaq out of LA. Bron did what was best for him and his legacy in his opinion. Would I have did the same thing probably not, but I am not him neither is any of the people who are commenting on his decision.

Be very careful about forming an opinion based on an article by dis guy Adrian Woj. He haz an interesting way of interpreting facts. I'm not a fan of his and dude seems to be more agenda driven than the average writer/blogger. I read the entire article yesterday and it did provide some insight about Lebron. Some good, some bad. But da article headline iz misleading. I think dis iz more about how business is done in professional sports, esp the NBA. Pat Riley is gangsta with his!

That might be the case but Maverick Carter and the rest of those guys seem to be nothing but yes men it gets to be a problem when you have no one to give you a reality check. You need those people who are just going to keep it real with you regardless of how you may feel of their opinion that is a true friend and someone with your best interest in mind. I don't think Bron has too many people around him that will CHECK him but thats is just my opinion. They would have told him that hour long special was not in his best interest from a public relations standpoint. During that whole interview if you look at LeBron he looked confused somewhat unsure of himself. Thats just my opinion.
