James: "No reason" to think about leaving Cavs

By Michael Hurd

Jason Kidd and Lebron James

LeBron James on whether he has ever thought about playing for the New York Knicks: ''No, that might be worse than that fan running out on the court.''

James on whether he's ever thought of leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers: ''You don't think about it. I am in a great situation. I am home, my family gets to see me play, the organization has been nothing but great to me. I have no reason to think about going anywhere else at this point.''

    OVERRATED!!! he's the most overrated player in the NBA. He plays bad defense, doesn't shoot the jumper well. Has no game with his back to the basket. He is a physical phenom but there are a ton of other players I'd rather have that would cost less money than Lebron. So plz stay in Cleveland or go to the Nets but no more overrated, non defense playing players in Knicks uniforms

    #12 you are a little far from reality.The whole world would agree about his performance in NBA and for his nation.
    Why do you think players post ball?
    who do you think will stop him to drive so that he take the ball by posting.how many times you saw his shoots bloacked?
    what is his percentage for jump shooting?
    who is ahead of him in point pergame?
    who is the leder in asisit from the forwards?
    which other star make his team perfect? please do not tell me kidd.

    Hey Shane, SHUT UP!!! You obviously no nothing about basketball and no one cares what the heck you think. If you have done any reading, assuming you can read, you would know that James has turned into a lock down defender, taking the opponents top scorer in crucial moments and dominating him. As for his back to the basket game, who cares? He doesn't need one! He's leading the team in scoring. You must work in the Knicks front office with that kind of talent scouting.

    TheBron will stay in Cleveland. They can pay him more money than anyone else because of the salary rules. Cleveland is his home. But we don't have to even worry about that for 3 years...So for now, GO CAVS!! All the focus is on the Celtics and Pistons, just the way they want it.

    I love how all the Lakers fans want him to go to NJ and leave Cleveland because you know they are scared of Lebron beating them while he is in Cleveland. Lebron will win a championship before his contract runs out and then they will give him a big new contract. All the other teams just want him to leave because they know that Cleveland has a good team and will be scary once they add a big name PG this summer. Get used to it guys Lebron is in Cleveland to stay at least for another 10 years.

    I love this Lakers guy coming on here. What a loser get a life. Lebron is running away with the MVP honors and Kobe will be lucky to finish at least 4th. LBJ KG and CP3 are all ahead of Kobe "rapist" Bryant.

    the reason he'll never leave cleveland, is because he wouldn't want to become 'public enemy #1' in northeast ohio. cleveland has had a lot of great athletes leave for more money in the last decade, and all of them have been hated by the fans. lebron is greater than all of them put together, and the fans would hate him all the more for it. cleveland hasn't had a mega-star like him since jim brown played for the browns.
    if lebron leaves cleveland, he won't be able to show his face in northeast ohio for at least 5 years, maybe more. frankly, i don't think he'd do that to his family and friends.

    You know what kills me? How does Kobe go from bashing his GM and teammates to being a MVP candidate. To me the MVP should be more than just scoring. He does make his team better, but his supporting cast in much better than LBJ's and LBJ make the Cavs look like the Celtics (sometimes). Plus, I think LBJ got played out of a few MVP's already! This year should be LBJ all the way!
