Dwayne Wade Wishes Lebron the Best in Cleveland, Doesn't Realize He Got Played for 4 Years

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dwyane Wade wished LeBron James stayed in Miami.And now he's wishing him well regardless.
"As a friend and a teammate, I am sad to see my brother LeBron leave to begin a new journey," Wade's statement said. "In 2010, we decided to come together all for one goal — to win championships and we succeeded. We were friends when we first joined the league and created an unbreakable bond the past four years. Our collaboration will always be very special to me both personally and professionally." (via Yahoo)
Oh no. Look at this poor fucker. Wade can't actually believe that Lebron and him were "brothers," can he? Like, he realizes that Lebron came to the heat because he wasn't going to win in Cleveland and didn't want be the best player ever to not win a championship, right? He understands that he is like the main reason for Lebron leaving Miami....right?? I bet he thinks Lebron is gonna keep texting him every day. No way, jose. You just got played sir.

Kinda sucks to see because Dwayne Wade seems like such a nice guy, but there's no way Lebron feels the same way about leaving. Lebron made a career decision to leave Wade behind in Miami because he basically fell apart in he playoffs and is basically a bench player now. Bottom line, NBA free agency ain't no joke. This shit is real and feelings get hurt. Lebron doesn't have time to worry about how special their collaboration was. He needs to win a championship in Cleveland now or else he's going to look like the biggest asshole on the planet (again).



PS: Someone else had to be negotiating Bosh's contract right? Like there's no way he got that deal on his own. I mean this is a guy that probably doesn't tie his own shoes before games so there's no way he successfully took advantage of Lebron leaving and signed a 5 yr/$118 mil contract on his own right? Either way he definitely won the off season.

Miami Is Giving Lebron the Cleveland Treatment


Hey, Miami. Calm the fuck down. When Lebron left Cleveland, they had a reason to be pissed off. Their prodigal son from right around the corner had just dropped the city on its face for a more attractive, championship caliber city. That fucking stings. Especially when you're in Ohio. Miami should be giving Lebron a farewell parade! If Lebron never went to Miami, the only thing they'd have to cling to would be Pitbull. Look, I fucking hate the guy more than anyone, but you can't argue with the fact that he delivered 2 championships and gave a generation of horrible bandwagon fans something to talk about for a couple of years. Is Lebron good for basketball? No. Is Lebron good for any city in the league besides Miami? Fuck no. But was Lebron good for the Heat and their idiot fans? Absolutely. They were fucking perfect for each other.

You know what, as much as I love that he got himself into this mess, I can't not kinda feel for him. This is going to end so badly for him and he has no clue yet. This dude is such a self-centered, "me first" kinda guy that he actually cannot foresee this going any  way but the way in his head. This is a guy who completely believes that Cleveland is going to welcome him back like the prodigal son. Like the hometown hero who is returning after he had been ripped from their arms. But that's the thing. He wasn't ripped from them. He left willingly. And he shit on their faces on the way out. I can't even imagine how much a Cleveland Cavaliers fan who was watching that national TV broadcast would hate Lebron. That doesn't go away. When you see people burning jerseys in the street, that's real hatred. And King James is gonna feel every bit of that hate for real.

Lebron Is Taking His Talents (Back) To Cleveland


Bang. Just like that, the "where will Lebron go?" saga ends, and the "return of the King" saga begins. Seriously though when it comes to being the worst person in the world, there's no one better than our boy Lebron. But you almost have to respect what he's doing here. Like the size balls you need to have to actually say "I'm coming home", when you're going back to a place that you basically bent over, fucked, and then didn't call, is crazy. Just massive brass balls.

I just don't understand how this deal gets done when Lebron and Dan Gilbert hate each other so much. Gilbert publicly eviscerated Lebron after he left the first time. Dude just straight up called him a pussy basically in a public letter to the fans. And Lebron has said publicly that he's still mad about that. So obviously this is just the world's biggest publicity stunt right? That's the only reasonable explanation. Both of these guys must realize that this is gonna suck but it's gonna be a media circus for obvious reasons and that makes it worth it. Right? I don't know, I can't keep up with this bullshit. I'm just glad there wasn't a TV special this time.


PS: #1 Google search in Cleveland right now has to be "how to un-burn a jersey?"

Sick of the NBA Recruitment Tour's Already


Seriously is this shit the most ridiculous thing of all time? Like how is this a good look for the sport of basketball? Look at this asshole parading around the country like the God King guy in the 300 movie having people beg him to play in their city. Any team that participates in the Melo (or anyone else) recruitment tour loses all of the tiny amount of respect I had for them. If this becomes a thing in the NBA that every free agent does, it would be right up there with retiring at the beginning of your last season as the worst thing in sports ever. And the worst part about all of this is that you hear about it like it's normal. Every day on SportsCenter or any of the radio shows you hear about who is doing what and what players are meeting with Carmelo to convince him to come play with them and they act like it's normal. "Oh Derrick Rose did a work out to prove he is healthy." "Kobe Bryant flew back from Greece to meet Carmelo." Who does that?! Pathetic people, that's who. This just adds to my endless list of reasons I hate the sport of basketball.

Let's Talk About the NBA Finals...

More specifically, the end of Game 2. Let's start here...

Is there a more hate-able team in the rest of sports than the Heat? Not a chance, right? And I don't want to hear any of that bullshit "that's just a hard play." Fuck that. No it's not. You suck. 

So you figure at this point, you gotta hit 2 free throws. Wrong. Dude misses both. I don't watch a lot of basketball but that's gotta be unheard of...right? Right here you gotta be thinking they missed an opportunity. 
Move ahead like 2 minutes and their on the line again. Duncan this time. 0-2 AGAIN. That's 4 free throws in a row that don't even come close. 

Anyway it's downhill from there. The Heat pick it up in the last couple minutes and close it out. But you gotta go back to the fact that the Spurs had a legitimate chance to make the Heat pay for a classic Heat move. Gotta believe no one outside of Florida is happy about the outcome.

PS: Love this move by Wade. So Heat it hurts. My favorite part is that the ref is sure he makes the right call.
