4. Is jealous that nobody's ever rubbed his head after a good play.

5. Wanted to join a squad where the star shooting guard doesn't flop all the time and has a solid track record of being durable.

6. The Spurs are the only team in the league where he won't get criticized for passing the ball.

7. Likes the idea of playing fewer than 47 minutes a game.

8. Only way to get Kawhi Leonard to stop making him look bad on national television.

9. Is worried that if he stays in Miami, he may go to prison for murdering Mario Chalmers.

10. No Dan Gilbert.

11. Got tired of pretending that Chris bosh isn't a freaking weirdo.

12. Wants to go from playing with a guy who looked like a dinosaur to guys who are dinosaurs.

13. No one can resist Tony Parker's accent.

14. Thinks his game has finally developed to the point where he can play in the toughest basketball league in the world: the Western Conference of the NBA.

15. It'd make skip Bayless' head explode.
I could easily think of 10 teams he would sign to before going to San Antonio.

I wouldn't blame LeBron for where ever he wanted to go. He has the right to, as a person, to choose where he wants to live and work. It's his life.

1st clearly you have no sense of humor as it is all tongue in cheek, 2nd if pop called up and said we got you 15 mil to sign today, and you play with tim/tony/manu/kawhi, he would absolutely take that money.

I highly doubt LeBron would do that.

I would say he goes back to Cleveland.

so what youre saying is going to a team that finished dead last last year, is going on a 3rd coach in 2.5 years, and has a terrible owner who talked smack about you repeatedly, would be better than signing with the model franchise of the last 15 years, for a coach who you admire and is arguably the best coach of the last 15 years, along with players who have proven to be winners, in a system that just showed you 1st hand it is above the individual???


yeah good call.

Going back to Cleveland would help improve his reputation with many NBA fans and long term legacy. He will never go to San Antonio. You might as well just forget the idea of Lebron ever going to the Spurs because it isn't going to happen. Sorry Buddy, Lebron isn't going to the Alamo.

He's staying in Miami for another go around (but at least 1 of Bosh/Wade won't be there), but for an outside the box pick, how about Toronto?? Unlike when he was in Cleveland (and even when Bosh was here), the Raps will actually have a supporting cast up there with Lowry, Amir Johnson & JV, so he can become the top dog, but actually have all star caliber players that he didn't have when he was in Cleveland. Judging by the fan reactions from "Jurassic Park" out there in Maple Leaf Square for the playoffs, the team is on the upswing, and fan viewership is growing. A lot of that will have to do with how much cap room flexability the Raps have, but....he'll be in Toronto before he even thinks about joining the Spurs, that's for sure!

again the entire post was tongue in cheek, you clearly have no sense of humor OR you didnt actually read the post.

2nd i dont actually expect lebron to go to SA, more for the fact that the spurs would not and are not making a run at trying to get him. that said, if the spurs DID make a run at lebron, a legit run without losing their big 4, he would ABSOLUTELY go. he has already stated he would love to play for pop, thats a head start on just about every team in the league.
