shit was funny. the TBS reporter was asking him about it an he was stating that he always liked the Yankees. The reporter went on to mention that Lebron was also a Cowboys and Bulls fan growing up. He asked Lebron if he wa a bandwagoner, to which Lebron was denying! Lebron looked a little pissed that the reporter would throw him out like that. How you going to be from Cleveland and not root for any of your teams? No matter how bad my team gets, i will always root for them.

He's not from Cleveland. He's from Akron, a city with no pro teams, so he can root for anyone.
 
what difference does it make, why would you think he would be loyal 2 them(indians):confused:. i thought he played basketball, mabey i'm wrong:rolleyes:
 
Do your thing LJ. And I bet the Cleveland fans won't say shit about it --- well maybe not loudly anyway. :rolleyes:

Ummmmm, think again. Fucking Yankees are worth OVER $1 Billion and sometimes have MORE fans at their games on the road cheering for them in the stands than the home team they are playing. Shit has always been like that and got even more obvious since ARod came through. Watch at least 5 minutes of a Yankees game and you'll see how some of those teams only get sellout attendance once the Yankees are there.

Dude plays 82 games a season for the Cleaveland Cavaliers..I don't think a baseball cap should put his loyalty in question...
 
And for the Record. SO WHAT? Where is it stated that a ninja has to be a fan of the local team. And whats that shit about the bandwagon , I also liked those teams, as did many others, some of yall including. I liked great teams, I watch sports for entertainment, the best teams just happen to provide that for me. And the majority of the time, I followed Great players, whenever the players left so did I. Whatever team Jordan was with, so was I, the same goes for emmitt smith.
 
LeBron? WTF? What's good nigga, what's really good?

"hey yo Dre, stick to producin"

you made a wrong turn LJ. Gund Arena is right across the courtyard...:lol:
 
He has a right to root for who he wan'ts to. I respect him for not caving in. He could have went the "company route" and said, "I'm a Yankee fan...except when they are playing the Indians." but he didn't. He pledged his alegiance(sp?) and stuck to his guns. I respect that.

I live in Cleveland, Oh. And every time I see someone wearing Michigan Wolverines apparel or Steelers stuff I give them shit. But it is all in fun. Just because you are from somewhere don't make that your favorite team. He wouldn't do that shit in crazy assed Philly though. They beat up Santa.
 
So fuckin' what, he likes the Yankees. This a no big deal. He is a basketball player who likes the BASEBALL team Yankees. Now if he was wearing a Lakers, Bulls, or Knicks hat this would be different. But he likes a team in a different sport other then basketball, that's allowed. Michael Jordan played basketball BUT loved to golf, Charles Barkley played basketball BUT also wants to run for mayor of the town he was born in, Kobe plays basketball BUT like fucking white female hotel workers, my point is its ok to have different interest.

Co-sign!!!

I'm a die-hard Jacksonville Jaguars fan

A New York Yankees fan

And a Cleveland Cavaliers fan

When you're "off the grid", you can root for whoever you goddamn well please.

And besides, them Indians fans aint fuckin with LeBron. The city of Cleveland needs him more than they know. NBA season is less than a month away so I doubt if anyone was really gonna cause him any physical harm.

God of Wine, LOL people wear/root for other teams all the time here(Philly). Its when you mix White folks and Alcohol when they start getting incoherent and want to fight. I do hear your point though. I figured cats in Ohio would be Mad as hell over this. I guess like you said the hate is only for Michigan out there because of the statewide solidarity for the Bucks.

When did they beat up Santa?

PS. I could have sworn the Yankees were sponsered by Adidas. Can a NYC cat confirm this? If that is the case I am surprised NIKE didnt give him a talking to since he is their posterboy.

It's a pretty slick move on his part. #1 it gets his name in the press. #2 it is a potential hint showing he could seek a move to NY in the future. Which could lead to more money either way.. #3 he got the Cavs to the finals even if it is a weak East so they can't be too mad at him. #4 it's funny as hell since the Yankees LOST.

It was........

While I don't care personally, I can see how there would be backlash. He's not from Cleveland but he works for a nationally recognized Cleveland staple and he is more or less the symbol of Northeast Ohio which includes Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown. And the last thing a struggling metropolitan area needs is it's one symbol to be rooting for the other team, especially if it's the big bad Yankees. If he was rooting for the A's or the Twins, I don't think people would really give a shit, but rooting for the Yankees.....and the Reds would create a local controversy.

Lebron with an Indians hat on validates Cleveland to those of us who pay attention. Kinda like when people throw the "A-town" sign up or yell "ATL Ho" for Atlanta

I can feel that. It's like if he had the audacity to wear a Steelers jersey to a Browns game. But, like I said...I forgive him :D
