It's the unthinkable.. the unimaginable.. the unwitnessable for LeBron James to get traded to the New York Knicks when his contract expires in 2010. As of yet, there are no facts or deals set in stone, but in recent interviews, LeBron keeps hinting how he will exercise his options and be open to what is out there (aka the New York Knicks); while claiming Cleveland nonetheless, will always be his home "no matter where his profession takes him" smh.. sell out. If you're a Cavalier fan, you're probably outraged.. if you're a Knickerbocker fan, you're pissin urinations of joy all over the ground as I speak. Whichever category you may fall in, I advise you to keep the trash-talkin and mind-readin to a minimal, because I guarantee you this is all just a way of publicly displaying the power he bestows in the Cavalier's GM and their annual financial quota. At the end of the day, the New York fans get their hearts broken and go back to bandwagon-hoppin on other teams (i.e Celtics, Lakers), the Cavaliers staff raise his salary by a couple more billion dollars *side eye*, and Shaq will end up on another team, yet again. Do you get where I'm going here? It's all hype and media. No facts, no logic, no sense. Just money and egos to be satisfied and met by the end of the day.

LeBron Breaks Silence About the Infamous Dunk Tape + More
7 comment Drop That Knowledge for GL0 at 11:49 PM
Don't you just love how the NBA season is taking its sweet time to come around again? I don't think I've ever sat through more than 5 minutes of a summer sports center episode because it's all centered around baseball, golf, and hockey. Usually those 5 minutes that I do watch are because of NBA trade updates. Anywho, a lot of you guys I'm sure have heard the buzz and seen the video of LeBron gettin dunked on (which in actuality, wasn't that big of a deal)
RANDOM as HELL; but these shoes are the sh%#! Look me in my eyes and tell me to my face that you wouldn't rock the living piss outta these! (excuse my hyperboles) It was just love at first sight. This special MVP edition of his Nike Zoom LeBron VI shoes were worn against the Atlanta Hawks in Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Pre-gaming never looked so good; but now to the juicy stuff..
In a recent (August 6th) interview, he tackled some of the buzzing topics circulating his name:
When asked about not shaking hands after the Game 6 loss vs. the Magic or speaking to the media (which the NBA later fined him for) he said:
"I would have [talked with] the media. Looking back on it, without you guys, there's no LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Tiger Woods or no Peyton Manning without the media. Shaking hands is not a big deal to me, it's not being a sore loser; it's moving on."
" I could see why people were talking about [walking off] because your job [the media] starts when mine ends. But as far as the dunk or whatever car I'm driving, some things you shouldn't comment on and some things you should."
When asked about his alleged confiscation of the dunk tape he said:
" I never told anyone to confiscate any tapes. Nike has a no- videotape policy at pickup games. Now that LeBron is involved, it's blown up. It's a play that happens in basketball all the time. You can go on YouTube and see me being dunked on by a lot of guys. I like to call myself a shot-blocker, and [getting dunked on] tends to happen."
Whether or not that clears anything up for you, the man has finally spoken. Being a fan regardless, I'm not gonna let a couple incidents coincide with his reputation as arguably the greatest in the league (as of now). Although your off court actions speak just as loud as your on court ones, let's just say his turnover ratio is a lil high right now.. but I see him on the rebound to a great season in no time!
