Intern Rusty, while generally I would rather get a sharp stick in the eye than watch the insufferable LeBron preen and pose on the court like the egomaniac that he is, tonight I will watch that game. But I am definitely recording my beloved SYTYCD in case I need positive TV therapy later tonight. That said, perhaps you don't understand the NBA. Many people are not watching because they hate LeBron and therefore follow the Heat. They hate LeBron. Period. They will cheer on any team that opposes him. It is a lagniappe that the heretofore collapsible Mavs could be their nemesis this year. If there is any justice and truth in the Universe, that is what will happen.

Funny how people hate Lebron because their team wasn't able to land Lebron. And I'm loving every minute of it.

Dave, stick with writing about something you have knowledge of. No one is mad at LeBron about choosing another city to play for. Disappointed, yes. That is not the source of people's fury. They are furious he 1)threw game 5 of the previous playoffs and 2) conspired in violation of the rules with Bosh, Wade, and Pat Riley to form a team together in Miami while leading on Chicago, New York and Cleveland that he was seriously considering them. Get a clue. And David Stern turns a blind eye, may his weiner fall off from a terrible disease.

Listen sweetie, yes, I’m being sarcastic and condescending. The mere fact that you would cavalierly throw out that Lebron threw game 5 in last year’s playoffs tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of basketball. Lebron averaged damn near a triple-double during that series. And if you didn’t know, a triple-double means he had double digits in points, assists, and rebounds. AND he TOOK the Cavaliers to two 60 plus regular season wins along with a finals appearance. AND he’s a two time MVP AND a scoring champion. Exactly what rules did David Stern supposedly turn a blind eye to? Do you mean the rule that says you must play out your contract before being allowed to become a free agent, which Lebron followed to the letter of the law? Or the rule that states a free agent can sign with any team he or she wants to, which all three followed to the letter of the law? Now as far as Pat Riley, honey please, Riley builds championship teams. He’s done that his entire coaching career, and players want to play for a coach that wins rings. Funny though, where are your tears for players that get cut for whatever reason? Chicago, New York, and Cleveland pursued Lebron, Wade, and Bosh with zeal and gusto. But unfortunately they came up short, and to say that they were being mislead shows your lack of knowledge and or naiveté about basketball and free agency.
