hatiin on lebron because he is black

I cant wait to see how this trio is going to play out!!

I'll say what I've been telling everyone else that has asked me about Lebron going to Miami, it's not good for the NBA!!! Any true sports fan (not just a Basketball fan), knows this isn't good for the sport nor the actual team itself. Ok, you get 2 out of the top 5 players in the league on one team. All 3 of them sign 6year -$100 million deals. They will probably have the best starting 5, well 3 around the league but NO DEPTH behind them. Every successful team always has a good bench. I am wondering how they can even afford to pay anyone else on the team. Everyone else is going to have to get the bare minimum/bottom of the barrel type of deals in order to play on this team. Anywhoooo...I can't wait until the football season starts.

ok, I'm not a Cavs fan but it broke my heart when I saw their fans crying in the bar when Lebron made his decision. I just think he went about it all wrong and maybe he was upset at ownership for some reason but in actuality he ended up hurting the fans. I'm glad he went somewhere where he feels he will be happy but he didn't need to make a huge spetacle with it by having a "special" in regards to his decision. Only time will tell if hurt feelings will disipate but I do feel bad for cleveland. Although I'm a Magic Johnson fan, I know he wouldn't have conducted himself in this manner but we live in different times and different times bring different mannerisms.

How One Woman's Cells Changed Medicine Cells From Henrietta Lacks Used in Research on Polio, Cancer, Flu 102 comments By RON CLAIBORNE and SIDNEY WRIGHT IV Jan. 31, 2010 PrintRSSFONT SIZE:SHARE:EmailTwitterFacebookMore In a microbiology lab at New York's Columbia University, Professor Vincent Racaniello experiments with some cells that have led to some of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last hundred years. But these are no ordinary cells. Since the '50s, one woman's cells have helped cure diseases and made billions. They're called, HeLa. And they were first used in research that led to the Polio vaccine, as well as helping to develop medicines to fight cancer, the flu and Parkinson's disease, and in the research that led to gene mapping and cloning. They were used to test the effects of atomic radiation and sent into outer space. All of the HeLa cells, trillions upon trillions of them, originally came from one person-Henrietta Lacks, a poor 30-year-old black woman who died nearly 60 years ago. "The list of things we can do because of that is just incredible," said Rebecca Skloot, who wrote the book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." Related WATCH: New Clues in Cancer ResearchExcerpt: 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' In 1951, Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore suffering from cervical cancer. Before she died, doctors took some of her tumor cells for research without ever telling her. "They never asked permission to take the cells, which was standard at the time," Skloot said. "They just took them." Researchers discovered that those cells did something they'd never seen before: They could be kept alive and grow. "I think we owe a lot of gratitude for what Henrietta provided," Racaniello said. "There's absolutely no doubt about that." Lacks died later that year, but her cells lived on, providing a seemingly endless supply for researchers around the world, and eventually for companies to sell to sell for profit. "It's hard to pinpoint how much money has been made, but it's a lot of money," Skloot said. To top it off, no one in Lacks' family ever knew any of this for more than 20 years. When they were finally told in the 1970s, they were stunned, then angry. "That's the main thing that's troubled me about it," said Bobbette Lacks. "Why was it kept such a secret?

I hope LeBron's babies (more than one) mama moved to a city where she's more likely to get a ring too.

Everybody keeps saying "make it to the playoffs" they need to "win". Making it to the playoffs is not enough. The NBA belongs to the Lakers until Kobe retires. Maybe then he will have a chance at the ring

Why shouldn't he be happy!? He's now in a place where he doesn't have to put the entire team/organization on his back and can come out and play his game instead of being the only scorer. Imagine having all that responsibility on your shoulders year after year, having an entire city depend on you to bring a championship to the city? Talk about pressure. Jordan and Kobe couldn't do it by themselves and neither can Lebron.

At first I didnt think it was a good for Lebron.....but he looks really happy w/ his decision & I hope he gets what he wants out of his career since that was what he based his decision on. I could definitely use $127 mill in my life though!

Chris should've worn red and white shoes too. #imjustsayin

All this LOL'n going on.. let's hope they make it to the play offs and WIN!

Michael Jordan just recently said that he believes Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA over Lebron James! Lebron better start delivering....otherwise he may end up being known as the disloyal guy who could never win a championship! http://hamptonblu.blogspot.com/2010/07/video-michael-jordan-says-kobe-br...

People you still don't get it. James can play ball wherever he wants, the Cavs fans are hurt and angry because he said he wouldn't leave and the owner is pissed for many reasons: LeBron could have told him so the team could make other timely trade etc and now the team is worth less than $150 million dollars because he's no longer there. The economy of those business around the basketball area will definitely suffer and his team mates are truly looking at serious uncertainty. LeBron, Wade and Bosh used those other teams as a smoke screen to accomplish getting on the Heats roster. The nba chairman should look into tampering issues because something is definitely wrong. Pat Reilly used Wade in tampering.

All this hate is coming from people who are afraid the chip is locked down for the next 5 years. It's okay for Kobe and the Lakers to scoop up free agents at cheap prices. It's okay for the Celtics to have a big 3 but lebron is suppouse to stay loyal to the cavs because it's his hometown. I thought they may have pulled it off this year but they would have been lucky to get past the magic. They would have lost to the Lakers in 5. Although I didn't like all the lights, camera, action lebron chose to go with to depart cleveland I think he made a great decision. He would have been lucky to win one title in cleveland this way they can possibly win more than 6.

Wow man why did it physically hurt to see him in that jersey? I mean I know its all bizness but come on man Cleveland was your home. Thats like breaking up with yo girl on the ride home and pickin up your next shorty, takin pics with her and posting it right where ya old girl can see it! Wat other free agent done having photo shoots and events a day after they chose to sign all strapped up in the next team gear? Have a heart Lebron,luvs you but please have a heart.
