"They are going to need to bring in the National Guard" (Spike Lee)

[GaryBriggs]

Spike Lee might be an interesting guy if he ever learns to open up and express himself. He made a fair attempt at that today, phoning in to ESPN, to give his thoughts on LeBron James going to Miami. The movie mogul and No. 1 Knicks fans had plenty to say about LBJ, and how he had better watch his back when he returns home to Cleveland:

On where he thinks LeBron goes from here:

"I don't know how he's going to live in Akron or Cleveland anymore. They're going to make his life miserable . . . The first time the Heat go into (Cleveland) they're going to need the National Guard. I'm not trying to blow this up, but they're going to need the National Guard."

On The Decision show:

"I really can't understand why they chose Greenwich, Conn. The show was kind of cheesy to me. LeBron, he was really on edge. He hardly smiled, and he's someone who smiles all the time."

On how LeBron reacted when ESPN showed that his jersey was being burned by some in Cleveland:

"That was a killer. Like Michael Jackson sang, 'It cuts like a knife.' "

On Cavs owner Daniel Gilbert blasting LeBron:

"I would just like to say that I don't like what this guy did. The days of the owners dictating to the players what they can do are over."

On how LeBron will be treated at Madison Square Garden:

"Oh, he's going to get it worse than Reggie Miller."

His overall view of LeBron's decision:

"Look, I cannot blame LeBron for doing what makes him happy . . . But this thing was rigged. It was a done deal . . . C'mon, they knew. Pat Riley knew. This thing was rigged."

And how many championship rings does he think Miami will win with LeBron?

"I'm not giving them zero until I see who else they have. They have three guys. They're not better than Chicago. I don't think they're better than Boston is, either."

They really are going to need the NG.

The first time in history that Spike Lee has been on the Cavs side.

Gotta love Spike. Even though he's a fan of another team, he's a die-hard like anyone of us. He certainly knows how to Do The Right Thing.

I told you guys..

I don't care how much I have to pay, I'm going to that game....

#6's got balls to play pickup with Cavs players and use the Cavs trainer DAYS before running away.


What a joke.

 

[BlueSeats626]

whoops, wrong thread.

 

[futuristxen]

Remember when he rooted for the Celtics so that Lebron would go to the Knicks?

Damn good point.

Somehow that point has got lost. I certainly have not thought about that since the Big Show has received the most scrutiny. But oh my; can we believe the balls of this Fraud? What do the players now think about this Fraud showing up and ASKING THEM to join him and then dissing them on National TV? Oh my.

Over time, we will seeing many more people come out with their thoughts, not unlike Lee. I'm thinking NBA players will start to come out as well.

That's what I wish would happen... but I don't think it will.

NBA players these days are all too "buddy-buddy" with each other to risk being looked at as a "rat" or "backstabber."

I agree with everything he said, which is odd, because I normally disagree with almost all the time. Lebron has completely destroyed his brand in Cleveland and New York at the very least.

I say everyone wear an LBJ jersey to that game and when hes announced, throw his jerseys at him

What about where his jersey to the game and at halftime, everyone pile his jersey at halfcout and set it on flames. Someone will have to disable the fire sprinklers though.

 

[LondonCav]

He won't play. will have an "injury"

It's amazing that within the last 72 hours I've come to despise someone I used to admire and really looked up to. He was a sign of hope for all of us.

Within the same time period though I'm starting to like a lot of characters that rubbed me the wrong way in the past, but now are starting to come around and make sense.
