With Charles Barkley. Warning for fans of basketball and loyalty only. Some people just see it for what it is. Download the November 25th show of the Herd. Colin calls the interaction between Lebron and NYC a love in. To be so indifferent of a city that pays your salary shows what a selfish goof this fool is. Sports has always been about the fan. Everybody knows about Lebron's desire to be a billionaire. Nothing wrong with that as long as he does not believe he has to trample on the people who love him as an icon and as a local son to get to his goal. But that is what he is doing. That's why it is silly to put too much of yourself into people that occupy the laundry of whatever team? They are not there for you. They are there for a variety of reasons like coercion, circumstance, fit, salary cap, draft, injury etc. They rarely choose your community for the reasons you are attached to your community. Lebron is an Ohio native and look at what he does. You can't tell me it's about the love, OK you can tell me it's about self love.

LeBron James blasts Charles Barkley
CLEVELAND (AP)—LeBron James reacted strongly to Charles Barkley’s comments that the Cavaliers star isn’t showing respect for Cleveland fans and his teammates by discussing his possible free agency following the 2010 season.
“He’s stupid. That’s all I’ve got to say about that,” James said Friday night before the Cavaliers’ game against Golden State.
Barkley made the comments on TNT’s NBA studio show and Dan Patrick’s radio show.
“If I was LeBron James, I would shut the hell up,” the Hall of Famer said on Patrick’s show. “I’m a big LeBron fan. He’s a stud. You gotta give him his props. I’m getting so annoyed he’s talking about what he’s going to do in two years. I think it’s disrespectful to the game. I think it’s disrespectful to the Cavaliers.”
James, under contract for two more seasons, was bombarded with questions about his future when the Cavaliers visited New York to play the Knicks on Tuesday night.
The Cavaliers can offer him an extension as early as July 1, 2009. There has long been speculation James will eventually end up in one of the NBA’s larger markets and the Knicks have cleared salary-cap space in anticipation of the 2010 free-agent class.
“I think July 1, 2010, is a very big day,” James said when the Cavaliers were in New York. “It’s probably going to be one of the biggest days in free-agent history in the NBA. So a lot of teams are gearing up to try to prepare themselves to be able to put themselves in position to get one of the big free-agent market guys.”
