LeBron has forced many of us to make uncomfortable decisions

    I don't think LeBron James is a bad guy. I think he is surrounded by people that say, "LeBron, was that one cream and one sugar?"

    If anybody around him had any idea about how the world works, they would have tried to talk him out of going on ESPN for "The Decision," one of the most embarrasing hours of television in the last decade.

    The problem was, it played into the stereotypes many have of the NBA -- it's all about the stars, it's all about attention, it's all about the individual and what's best for him

    LeBron. however, has never been a selfish basketball player. He recognized the value of involving his teammates long before Kobe Bryand did.

     I don't know if Miami will be the NBA's best team. But they'll be the most compelling.

     They opened the season against Boston. I've pulled for the Celtics maybe once in my life. I didn't know which team to cheer for. LeBron forced me to make my own "The Decision," and it didn't take an hour.

     Go Celtics.

Let's be honest...ESPN and other sports analysts have been talking about Lebron's free agent status leading up to "The Decision" for years...They made it bigger than what it was, so why not play into that. No one talks about the fact that the proceeds from "The Decision" were given to a local charity. So be upset with the way he did it, but guess what, you and half of America watched. :)

The other half were probably"half-witted"....And that's all I have to say about that

Once again it's NFL game day and Tom is talking about something else. Really Tom? Is this the best you and Scott have to offer?

LeBron is a great talent. I have only 2 problems with his control of his talent.
1) He needed to let Cleveland know he was not returning and set a stage for a comfortable setting for his departure.
2) The ESPN Show was a debacle. He gained nothing from it and became a target due to its' set-up. O'Brien should be embarrassed by his participation.
