Lebron James at game 1...

[jmt1]

if i was a tribe fan i would really be pissed off.  its fine if Lebron is a yankee fan but for him to show up in clev in his yankee gear in front of the very crowd who supports him was really stupid and immature.


Witness this: LeBron taunts Tribe fans with Yankees cap


LeBron James, why did you have to play it like that?
You like the Yankees. We get it. But did you really have to tip your Bombers cap in an interview during the national telecast of Game 1? Did you really have to hold it over your head and seemingly taunt the very fans that support you and the Cavaliers?

Really, LeBron?

Here's a sampling of what the media is saying about it.

David Briggs, MLB.com Even New York fans thought it was odd for the longtime Yankees fan to flaunt his team's colors in the town that idolizes him.
Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports
In a sense, he's just being true to himself even if he isn't being true to the region, but many would call such switched geographic allegiances sports bigamy.

Jim Ingraham, Morning Journal
Cleveland's traitorous NBA icon, Yankee cap conspicuously missing from his million dollar head, beat a hasty retreat up the aisle from his seat behind home plate in the sixth inning, moments after Travis Hafner sent a blistering drive into the seats for the Indians third home run of the game.
We were all witnesses. LeBron concedes.

John Kuntz/The Plain DealerCleveland Indians fans aren't too excited to see Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James in the crowd sporting his New York Yankees ball cap during the opening game of the American League Division Series.
And here's what you're saying in the Tribe Forum.
LeBron's gotta realize they are the third team in town, and how immature for him to show up like that- he went from a young mature superstar to an attention hungry a$$ in a minute. I'm done with the Cavs. - posted by Bones 54
LeBron embarrassed himself and he tried to embarrass our city. I have a friend from NYC who just can't get enough of the fact that our "hometown" hero is a Yankee fan. I personally can care less about LeBron and the fact that he grew up near Cleveland, yet was a Yankee and Bulls fan growing up only demonstrates what kind of character he has.

Here's to you LeBron! I am one Cleveland fan who is officially OFF the Cavalier bandwagon. What Lebron James did last night is unforgiveable!

The Cleveland fans should all wear pistons hats when they play again. Bron is a Ohio kid and is the face of that franchise.

What a fucking scrub. It's okay to personally like the Yankees but to wear their gear at a Cleveland playoff game??

What a fucking douchebag. He was born and raised in Ohio. He PLAYS for the Cleveland Cavaliers. And he comes to an Indians playoff game showing off a Yankees hat in front of the home fans.

What a fucking dick loser piece of shit.

Hey Lebron, way to be a team player, huh? Oh by way, your Yankees are in a 0-2 hole.

I dont see a problem with supporting the yankees if you like them. But Lebron was alsmot taunting the fans. Pretty stupid stuff on his part.

Why wear the hat? He knew the attention it would draw. He had to.

Common sense is something that they don't teach in high school.

I think Albert Haynesworth, Marcus Vick, Maurice Claurett, Jamal Lewis and the University of Miami players all have it

Yep, just like, Zone Defense. Something Lebron didn't learn either.
