I'm now a Kobe fan

• derek bomar

  

  seriously. He can rape all the women he wants. He's a winner, and he's stayed with the same team and won with different casts.

  There's a $250.00 non refundable application fee that goes to selection committee to see if your worthy. When I receive your check the process will start.

  eh, he actually did want to be traded a couple years ago
• ZombieKiller

  He also refused to sign with the team that drafted him

  Loyalty can be a good and a bad thing.
  
  If a championship is really the top priority for LBJ then being loyal to the Cavs would have been stupid because a championship was never going to happen there.
  
  I couldn't care less if players never once show an ounce of loyalty to any team during their career.
  If a player leaves another team to come play for my favorite team(pistons) I don't complain about that so in the interest of avoiding hypocrisy I'll never be critical of a player leaving my team or any other through free agency.

  theres a big difference between "any" player and "the best" player in the world, also hometown kid

  ^^^^ No there is not.
  
  Not ONE of these upset, whiny Cavs fans would be mad at LeBron if he did this to any other team to come play for the Cavs.

  When his contract is up he can join the Heat too. Carmelo will join them next year and pretty soon the rest of the NBA will be Miami's personal Washington Generals.

  Kobe played with Shaq and now has Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Artest, etc...
  
  Why would he ever need to leave? The best player Lebron has played with is Mo Williams. And let's not act like Kobe has been the perfect citizen to the Lakers.

  I'm a Cavs fan and have no problem with LeBron leaving. We didn't have a championship supporting class. HOWEVER, I lost a lot of respect for him because of the way he handled the whole free-agency period. He invites all these teams to talk to him when he is only seriously considering 3 (Chi, Cle, and Mia) and then builds up all the drama for several days. Then he decides to make his decision on National Television so the whole world can hear where he is going. He is so full of himself.
  
  The Heat will NOT win a championship this year.
