Don't you think its a bit much for one city to have both the FT MegaDo and the dansdeals meetup?

New York is putting some celebrities together to try to recruit Lebron James while Miami is changing their name for a week to try and keep Wade

Quote from: Bill Simmons

I just hope he remembers to wipe the blood off the knife after he pulls it from Cleveland's back.

He is an amazing and hysterical writer indeed...

I liked what he wrote about Lebron picking Miami:

Quote from: Bill Simmons

I wrote that LeBron was facing one of the greatest sports decisions ever: "winning (Chicago), loyalty (Cleveland) or a chance at immortality (New York)."

I never thought he would pick "HELP!"

Another good one while we're at it..

Quote from: Bill Simmons

19. I always thought the goal was winning rings. That's what Russell, Bird, Magic and Jordan taught us. That's what I grew up believing. But sports are different now. You're a brand as much as an athlete. In the past 72 hours, with the suspense building for his announcement, LeBron created a Twitter account, launched his own website and agreed with ESPN on a one-hour live selection show that, incredibly, was the exact same idea that a Columbus reader named Drew had in my Thanksgiving '09 mailbag … but I thought he was kidding. Now I think he's Nostradamus. Or even Nostradamu-SAS.

Drew from Columbus looked into the future, and here's what he saw: A world in which it was totally conceivable that an NBA superstar would sell an hour-long show in which he picked his next team and tainted his legacy in the process. I played along and pushed a "Bachelor"-type setup ("The LeBrachelor!") in which LeBron whittled 29 teams down to six, then four, then two, then one over the course of six episodes. Hell, have him hand out roses. Why not? It's not like this would actually happen, right?

LeBrachelor sounds better than a 1 hour contrived stab-in-the-back to me!

He's a ego maniac, he can't go to miami because it's wade's home court, he was there first. As the NY Post put it, he won't be King James hell be Prince James if he goes there, and being the ego maniac he is he won't be able to deal with that

I think his ego is too big for him to see that. There are many logical arguments for where he should go. I just don't think he is going to make (made, i guess) his decision logically

Dan · « **Reply #39 on:** July 08, 2010, 03:09:48 PM »

If he was making a logical decision it would've been made already.

He seems to think people are enjoying this drawn-out charade. All that's going to happen is anger everyone not in the city he chooses which won't be good for endorsements, etc.
