    I’M FROM CLEVELAND AND I WANTED TO SEND MY CONGRATS TO LB AND THE MIAMI HEAT LB YOU EARNED IT MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR  TEAM AND FAMILY 

  • Sairuhhpaylin

     Lebron doesn’t care about students. he is only in this advertisement to delude people, including himself, into believing he has a conscience. these fools in the NBA have the nerve to go out and say the “NBA cares”. these are people who refuse to play a game they supposedly love because $20 million a year isn’t enough. you know our country is corrupt when these men have the nerve to have a lockout, not being satisfied with $20 million, while teachers have to go on strike to make $50,000; and that’s the well paid ones, as far as teachers go. I read that the Heat spent $70,000 on champagne to celebrate their title. is it just me or could that money have been spent in more useful manners? the average American makes $1.6 million in their life; say 50 years of employment. I bet Lebron owns five houses, and probably some cars, that he’s thrown away more than that. I look at these men and my eyes  show me people whose cares begin and end at how many zeros are on their pay check. I wonder at what age, assuming he ever had one, this man lost his conscience. so, Lebron, it is people like you who make me ashamed, not proud, to be an American.

    • Charles John

      playing professional Basketball is a high paying career teaching public school is not with that said LB has generated Millions of dollars for boys and girls, do your home work and stop the negative comments teachers are not pay a high salary because society does not value them never have and never will look at what going on Wisc the republican Govn. is breaking up the Teacher union so they can play them less with terrible benefits. Don’t throw salt at the NBA point that negative energy at the Republicans you probally help put in office. and please get laid and try to enjoy life

  • Jasonzhao818

    Dear James,
     
    I am a great fun of you for many years in China! I the same as your other faithful fans watch all your match and
    read all the news about you, anyway, I care about all the things about you! You have been a part of my life and
    I really hope you can be happy and it is not just about this!When you won the game days ago, I was so excited that
    I felt the day is one of my happiest days in my life too!
    When I saw you fighting at Cleveland alone, my heart was broken;When the senile O’Neal was joining the team,
    suddenlly I believed I saw a glimpse of hope; When Celtics was temporarily having the advantage, I was furious;
    I still clearly remember all the despicable behaviours of Howard, and I believed that his not-so-nice character is bound to
    make him fail the championship all his life!
    After you came to Heat, you were leading the team like a ship peoceeding breaking the ocean ice.
    Last year I even couldn’t believe that you were coming to the champ closer and closer.
    But no matter what happens, I always suppport you! So I wrote “Heat,start over!” on my page, and it hadn’t been changed for a year till now.
    This year, seeing Rose was hurt, I felt very sad. But secretly in my heart I was very glad, (maybe it sounds a little ungraceful)
    because I thought in this way Lakers would be out, for the others, Dallas is going down,Celtics is old and Bull is clipsing,
    and it’s your turn on! At the second round, I couldn’t describe how sad I was when Bosh was hurt. Afterwards, even though you and Wade
    got through with your wonderful performance and great efforts. When you were pushed to an impasse in the third round,
    when the whole America was on the side of Thunder, I was putrageously angry. But I don’t have Twitter, I can’t tell you that
    there are a lot of more fans for you in China and I definitely believe it is much more than the not-supporters in US!
    I’m not hoping you like Jordan winning seven champs, I am just a ordinary fan of you and I just hope you could win this year.
    Because in my heart, Jordan never can compete with you!
     
    I don’t expect get a reply from you, I am just so excited you won and I have too much and want to to tell you!
    Hope you have a grat future!

  • Tahitianberry

    This playoffs has been by far the best playoff I have seen in a long time. It had me at the edge of my seat from day one. The hard work you guys put on, on and off the court is great to see. I have three teenage boys who is working hard to become great ballers and I hope and pray that if they were to ever make it they can be as humble and remarkable as you guys.

  • Adamcrosswhite

    Lebron is the next best to MJ so far…he is on pace to exceed Mj in almost every category. Once or if he gets 6 rings, he will then be able to be truly compared. But he is by far the best player in the world.

  • Devon Thebest

    Dear Mr. James my name is Mr. McCaden i lve in Colorado Springs Colorado, my son is  a great fan of yours,Wade , Bosh.His name is Devon and he is attending James Irwin Charter School in the Springs. My son has a 4.03 gpa and been on the NSHSS for a year now and has played basketball all his years at James Irwin and pretty much his whole life. James irvin  is about six years in sports now . Mainly an academically school thats ranked number two in state of Colorado Springs. I pray far most that you and your family Wade and Bosh’s family are blessed and i hope that you brother James or the three of you could help my son Devon. Right before the christmas holidays as you know students have finals testing. So Devon was very concrened about one of his subjects tests, so we and he decided for him not to attend basketball practice for that day, Devon then texted his varsity coach, the then his coach texted Devon back saying that its going to cost him. Devon is the starting piont guard ,so we were thinking that he would not start at the next game.The coach not only not started Devon, but he didnt let him play the entire game and all none starters played.The coach humilliated our son in front of the entire student body. If the coach was not going to let Devon play at all then why let him dress out. To make a long story short James, Wade, Bosh Devon is a very good student ,and young man. He wants to attend Duke University and become an engineer with basketball secondary. What the coach did to Devon might have scared him for life, now he is not starting on varsity. Since he is hurt and confused and his coaches son is supposed to be my sons closste friend.I told my son to ask the coach what did he do to cause this punishment, and the coach wouldn’t respond. Please if you, Wade,and Bosh could pray, come or send something to help Devon keep his spirit up, i would forever be honored and truly blessed that you could do that please. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, and thank you very much.                                                                                                                                                                                                   
    Mr. Ricky McCaden, 4935 joseph Dr. Colorado Springs, Colorado  or too my sons school James Irwin Charter High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado

    lebron is the best that ever played the game right behind jordan !

    • Stephen11935

       Behind Jordan? Come on now…

  • Stephen11935

    He’s better than Jordan! He just got youngest player… most assists etc

  • Stephen11935

    After watching Miami & LA, King James IS the best so far!!!

  • Stephen11935

    Like your appearence w/ Pres. Obama! I’d like to see ya play “the Pres.!

  • Stephen11935

    Go get ‘em, King James!

  • Dallas Mulvaney

    I am so grateful to have came one game away from playing James maybe. My senior year was his freshman year i believe. Lord knows he would of not road the bench. Although i started off a bulls fan, the heat have certainly brought allot more to the game early, than the bulls did late thus far. We shall see. Keep it going Lebron, its inspiring to follow a goal in mind like yours.

    Was wondering in 2014 if you Lebron,and Carmelo Anthony,and Greg Oden would come to play together and with Kyrie and Dion and Tristian and win multiple championships where it’s never been done before and make you’re own legacy and legends of the game in Cleveland  Ohio and ohio’s basketball team? If we can sign free agents you Lebron James,Carmelo Anthony,and Greg Oden.  Both  you Lebron and Carmelo are the two top players  in the league. You guys are both best friends and would love too play with each other. You can both play SF and PF. You guys can play with Kyrie Irving,Dion Waiters,Tristian Thompson and other players we might have and draft as depth and part of our Cavs family.  There is Noels,Bennet,Young(Ben Wallace type player),Konggo,Shabazz,ect. and all are extra draft picks we got in trades to make great depth and sign You Lebron James,Carmelo Anthony and Greg Oden.    GO CAVS!  Come and welcome to our Cavs family.

  • Stephen11935
