That was before his 3 year extension. He tried staying and building a champion and it didn't work.

i seem to recall paying 120 for our seats to the game with LBJ. but the rest were around 50-70 bucks for decent seats. granted some of those games were to watch a 30-40 win team.

You're kidding, right? Last night he became the EASILY most hated man in the NBA, on what is now the most hated team in the NBA.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Simmons all Lebron sound off has some pretty good stuff in it. For example...

City: Perth, Australia
Name: Glenn Jamieson

Can you please annoint "Taking my talents to South Beach" as the new euphemism for masturbation?

A few years ago it was Kobe Bryant. He ran Shaq out of town, quit on his team in the playoffs, and demanded a trade. Now he's looked upon differently. The American public (Cavs fans excluded, but there aren't many that are true Cavs fans) will quickly change their tune if they win a couple championships and Lebron excels.

On Sportscenter they did an interview live from the Heat arena inside where they were rehearsing for the huge welcoming party they are throwing tonight to an expected packed arena.

They had 3 people walking down the faux runway for rehearsals and you could hear them announcing the names over the loud speakers.

It was Bosh first, LBJ second, and Wade was last.

There is a pecking order. As I think it was Bob Ryan said tonight, they are all sleeping in the same house, but make no mistake, Dwayne Wade is in the master bedroom.

I wouldn't doubt if they were all sleeping in the same bed.

This is a great column (sorry if it was posted earlier, I didn't go through all this to check) about what this tells us about the real Lebron.
