I personally never bashed him for leaving Cleveland he did all he could do at Cleveland at the time. And although I wasnt a Miami fan, I always rooted for him to do well in Miami even though I am a Cavs fans.
I am just happy he is back.

And no he didnt leave Miami hanging, he made a decision, a decision he thought was best for him at the time.

Exactly. At the time I didn't blame him. He was 25 years old. If Cleveland was willing to surround him with talent it'd of been one thing. The best they gave him was an aging Antawn Jamison and the shell of Shaq. He made a smart move.

what did Riley retire MJ's number in Miami?

that was the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen....I think he was visiting too many off the beaten path night clubs when he made that decision....thats just embarrassing if you ask me. I understand LeBRon wearing #23 to honor MJ, and then when he went ot Miami the number was retired and he gave that BS speech about not wanting to wwear it ETC...

but cmon- a league executive retiring the number of a player that beat his ass? I think that is a black mark on Rileys resume and kinda really humiliating





They also have Dan Marinos jersey hanging there.
I don't get it either.
I'm not sure though that it was Riley's decision

Do you have any evidence of this? I must have missed most of it.
Nope just being a NBA fan and watching most NBA games and all the words the Bosh said when LBJ left. Writing was on the wall.

U do know LBJ wanted those guys. They gave him the keys to the Organization. He hand picked most of these guys on those teams.

Here we go with the Refs. Come on Gasol gets whacked and LBJ doesn't get touched.

LBJ back to playing like Game 1. Cavs need him to be the leader and the aggressor. Teammates will follow.

I wonder what LeBron's fg % is when he holds the ball jab stepping for 3-10 seconds. seems like a waste of time. get the ball and go. I don't know what the defense can do to stop him from getting to the rim or finding someone wide open when he attacks
