Cleveland Answers LeBron's Question With Authority

by John Bena (aka CavsBlogger) on Nov 5, 2010 11:22 AM CDT

Technology is a great thing. For example? How about YouTube. YouTube allows the average joe to create and distribute to the masses quality video content. It can be used to amuse, entertain, and sometimes for revenge. Case in point? LeBron James thought he was putting to bed the events of the past summer by doing what he always does - make light of the situation. His latest Nike commercial basically tried to make James loook like a victim.

Cleveland wasn't going to take ANOTHER slap in the face lying down.

Below is why I love technolgy. A group gets together, has a great idea, and puts out an outstanding video. Thanks to youtube, the internet and Twitter, the video goes viral almost instantly, and just like that people are reminded of WHY us Clevelanders were so upset to begin with. Enjoy it, Cavs fans, and give thanks for technology, for it allows EVERYONE to have a voice.

Love it.

Maybe it’s just me. But I’m more offended by HOW he’s handled this situation over WHAT was going on. I understand you’re leaving hey that’s pro sports happens all the time. But to have an ESPN special and basically make everyone in Cleveland watch that saying I’m gone is ridiculous. Let alone the response commercial he did because he couldn’t be a grown man like many other pro athletes and ignore those who dislike him.

Amen. I hate all his excuses after The Decision too. He blames it on race, how he disliked Cleveland. What a load of BS.

The saga continues.

I thought the same

I was actually expecting a couple web cam videos and a cell phone video recording to be the responses haha. But it was well edited and well scripted.

Meh.

I prefer the Please Stay Lebron song… Cleveland’s finest, on their knees, begging…

This one is almost as embarrassing.

We really need to let it go

It seems when the Cavs play, we’re all still mentioning LeBron, LeBron, LeBron.

We have a team out there right now that could use that sort of attention.

A well done video and a fitting response I guess, but hopefully this is the end of it. Who am I kidding though?

HE’S the one who keeps bringing it up. He didnt make his little ‘commercial’ trying to fix his image…this wouldn’t be here.

True. I just wish it would end both ways! I don’t think it will ever end though.

Look, ( labail ) still doesn’t understand, why the folks in Cleveland, are upset, maybe, he should have gone to college. Hey, ( laleave ) we gave you nothing but love, and you stabbed us in the back, on purpose. WHY ? That’s what we want to know. ( laas-hole ) If you wanted to leave, go ahead, no one would try to stop you, just give us a heads up, but you chose to slap us in the face instead, in front of the whole country, what the hell did you expect (lamoran ) So ( laquit ) what do I think you should do? Go away, stop making stupid TV ads, and tell all of us the truth, about why you did what you did.

WELL LIKE THEY SAY IN HOLLYWOOD,BREAK A LEG ( NO REALLY BREAK A LEG )

GO BROWNS CAVS, AND INDIANS

CLEVELAND

SUPPORT ALL OF YOUR TEAMS ALL THE TIME ,AND ALL THE WAY.

Cleveland we are with you!!!!! The Quitter video

Cleveland most of the country, except Miami is with you. This is the real “The Decision” video. LeBron has exposed himself as one of the most self-serving, selfish sports figures of all-time. Yes, topless bars are really good for his family. Cleveland we are with you and please enjoy the video. The next sign at the Miami AA Arena will be “The Quitnesss” instead of “Witness”. I am looking forward to the December 2nd game at the Q. I hope the crowd chants, “the Quitter”.

I love it.

Love it. Like was said earlier, this was an attempt by LBJ and his marketing firm to fix his image and sell more merchandise. I hope he watches this video and it gets as much exposure as possible.

College basketball just became more interesting...
