Cleveland's Finest Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Yeah, but not as cities. I was talking about the lifestyle shift based on his schedule and private life. Cleveland < New York, ok. That doesn't mean that Cleveland isn't better for LBJ. And I mean Akron essentially. Not everyone bases their choices of city on where they can be with celebrities and party more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Well, the Knicks and Nets haven't really been great the past 7 years or so in terms of landing big names and having winning teams, so the city life obviously doesn't play a big role, eh?

Guru Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 In NY/NJ he will be living next to a bunch of celebrities, like himself. It's really up to him where he would rather live but I feel like he likes the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that post makes no sense, lol. Feel free to re-explain it, I just don't get it. And I'm not sure how you can dispute that the Nets have a better cast right now AND for the future over the Cav's, the Knicks are a different story though. My gut feeling he will say but none of us know right now for sure or why he'll go where ever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Lol they might have offended James by ONLY talking about money, they didn't say anything about how they intend on putting a winning team around him (which is probably his biggest question to begin with). The presentation talks about the value of a title to NY, but he can't get one himself, that was evident in Cleveland. If this presentation leak is legit, then I could have made something better, I only skimmed but they didn't even show how they calculated or came up with the stats lol.

fish7718 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I thought the power point was strong tbh, brand management is really what sports is all about and brand management is how guys like Jordan and Jay-Z and teams like the Yankees, and Cowboys became so iconic.

xx. Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Downtown Newark has went a long way and its completely rebuild itself and to be honest its a nice area right now. The surrounding neighborhoods like said are bad and even the towns around it like Irvington. LeBron would live in Bergen County where I live in Alpine or something anyway which is the richest town in America, its all celebrities or doctors living there in castles, the houses are unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 When LeBron's primary concern is a championship, he may very well compromise if he sees his signing with Jersey bringing the trophy. And it's really not that bad of a compromise. Newark isn't in the middle of nowhere. It's fifteen minutes from the city, and I wouldn't know firsthand, but from what I've read and heard, Newark is an upgrade from Cleveland. The arena is also only a couple years old, a great place to play, and easy to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
