Man, Barkley is PISSED at LeBron for the shot he took at him in the commercial.

Yep. Bosh came out and said that Lebron never talked to him about going to Cleveland. Its pretty obvious what his intentions were all along.

He was asked what he thought. He replied that it was awesome and he loved the commercial.

He did also say it is way too long, which it is a really really long commercial.

No. The general consensus is that LeBron, Wade, and Bosh had this all mapped out dating as far back as the Olympics. Go do your research.

The Three Amigos got their asses handed to them last night on Natl TV. I usually don't even watch much regular season NBA (pretty sure its as fixed as WWF) but I sure enjoyed watching that one.

I'm sure they all discussed it, but it wasn't agreed upon in advance. Miami didn't have the cap room to sign all 3 until the last minute. Wade seemed very interested in Chicago at one time. There is no doubt they discussed things amongst themselves, because they all seem to be friends, but I am skeptical that 3 years ago they said, "Okay we are all going to play together in Miami."

When LeBron wouldn't even speak to Tom Izzo....that is what guaranteed that he was not coming back to Cleveland. Don't be so naive.

First off, I never thought he was going to resign with the Cavs. I was one of the few who said this up to a year in advance of free agency and everyone called me an idiot.

Do I think he gave the Cavs a chance? Absolutely. I think he wanted to stay, but just didn't see the pieces in place.

Do I think he knew up to a year in advance that he was going to Miami? Absolutely not.

Do I blame him for not talking to Izzo? No. It's not his job to sell a coach on a job.

I agree/disagree.

I agree he wanted to stay a Cav, but the reason he left wasn't because the pieces weren't in place, because I believe with Lebron going 100% we were winning the Finals last year.

I think the ONLY reason he left was because he was actually able to form a team with 2 of his great friends. If Miami wasn't able to put those 3 together, I think Lebron woulda stayed, but I think the Cavs had enough pieces around Lebron to win a 'ship.

I think he knew for quite some time what he was going to do

They have admitted that they were talking about this for months before the FA period
Bron refused to return calls and texts from the Cavs
Despite the early rumors, Bron never approached Bosh about playing in Cleveland
The way that Bron has recruited people to Miami. What was Windys quote? "Bron has done more recruiting in 2 weeks in Miami than he did in 7 years in Cleveland".........doesnt really sound like somebody dedicated to makling the Cavs better

Where there is smoke there is usually fire.......I think Bron had this planned for quite some time.....imo, I think he regrets his decision

No way this POS Primadonna regrets his decision KR...the commercial says it all, "please please take pity on me, Ive been unfairly depicted by the media...but I know my millions of adoring fans are still solidly behind me".

I think he knew what he was going to do for a significant amount of time. Years? Probably not. But there was plenty of time for him to tell the Cavs/fans that he was going to leave. Instead he did what he did. I do not think he regrets any of it...which is sad.

The Cleveland's response one is so absolutely pathetic I can't fathom watching it a second time or my eyes will bleed. All it needed was someone, preferably a little girl, crying in it.

Elaborate. I thought it was a pretty accurate representation of how Cleveland felt. I didn't see any "crying" or anything "pathetic"....maybe you're confusing it with your own logic. The last line of the commercial pretty much sums up everything.

It may seem a little harsh. But if you're not from northeast Ohio, you really don't have the same perspective on it.....and your opinion really doesn't mean as much.

Really?! I thought it was set up to fail, but they actually pulled it off and it was very well done. No more pathetic than the original LeBron version. All that one needed was him just coming out and saying "I'm the most selfish, pompous man on the face of this Earth and I don't have one loyal cell in my body. I also don't have what it takes to be 'the guy' on a championship team." What's really pathetic about his commercial is that it comes across as a desperate move to justify him being an asshole.
